UK - BBC's clueless Justin Webb

Webb, the BBC's Washington correspondent and Clintonian, shows just how clueless he is with this blog entry.

"Meanwhile, on the subject of less than wonderful news for Mrs Clinton, this catches my eye in the British press. The question: as Northern Ireland's peace deal was being thrashed out, was she watching basket-weaving displays (or whatever the Ulster equivalent is), or was she locking horns with the players as she suggests? David Trimble ought to know and has no reason to diminish her role."


Really Justin? Did you even bother to read what Trimble said? Here, let me help you out. First off, let's hear what Hillary claimed she did.

"Clinton said Wednesday, "I helped bring peace to Northern Ireland."


Now, did Trimble "diminish her role" or did he not? Here's what Trimble said using Justin's own link.

"Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a "wee bit silly" for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province."


Such is the calibre of journalists who work at the BBC - clueless.
