    But while discussing the issue at a Pennsylvania news conference, Clinton added another inaccuracy to the Bosnia story.

    From today's Washington Post:

    Questioned about this speech yesterday while campaigning in Pennsylvania, Clinton said that she remembered being told by the military and the Secret Service that "we were going into a war zone," adding: "I was the first first lady taken into a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt.

    But as The New Nixon blog points out, Clinton overlooked Pat Nixon, and provides a detailed account from a 1986 biography of Nixon.

    The [July 1969 South Vietnam] visit marked the first time that a first lady had been in a combat zone, although another first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, had also visited troops on her numerous travels to England and throughout the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand during World War II.

    Who was Bush_Horror2004, anyway?
