I had to laugh when I read this one:

Meigs County sheriff’s Deputy Bryan Holman met with Clinton when she visited southeast Ohio ahead of the state’s March 4 primary. He told her he had heard the story of Trina Bachtel, who died in August. Clinton took the story and made it part of her stump speech.

On the trail, Clinton says the pregnant Ohio woman was twice turned away from a hospital because she didn’t have insurance and couldn’t pay a $100 fee. She later was rushed to a hospital in an ambulance, delivered a stillborn baby and was taken by helicopter to Columbus. Clinton says two weeks later, the woman died.

Clinton says the story is evidence the health care system must be reformed. She never mentions a hospital’s name.

But the chief executive officer at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens told the Times he wants Clinton to drop the tale from her stump speech. Rick Castrop says Bachtel was never refused treatment and had insurance when she delivered the stillborn child at O’Bleness.

Seriously, either become a more compelling liar, or get a fact checker on your campaign staff. I think we should launch an investigation into the mysterious people that used to appear in her husband’s speeches on the campaign trail.
