Sniper Fire Real, Support Obama
(FiniteTimes.com) – Scorched over the past few days by allegations that she embellished a 1996 visit to Bosnia, Hillary Clinton received at least a partial vindication today when it was revealed that Sniper Fire was indeed present at the Bosnia airport when she and her entourage touched down.
The neo-polka sextet Sniper Fire, that is.
“We got a call first thing in the morning. Hurry up, get your instruments, there’s going to be a big thing at the airport,” recalls Sniper Fire percussionist Ebid Durakovic. “And sure enough, we get down there and it’s Mrs. Clinton and her daughter, what’s-her-name.”
“They were very nice,” says sax player Zoran Ganic. “Hillary kept wanting to hear something called These Boots Were Made For Walking, and the daughter just kept whining to hear Tiffany. We do Romanian love ballads and Kosovoan melodic death chants. What do we know of Tiffany?”
While news that Hillary Clinton did indeed encounter Sniper Fire while on her Bosnian trip has to come as a relief to her campaign, the fact that the band has come out in support of Barack Obama has got to be a stinging, if not all-too-familiar, blow.
“I said previously that there was no welcome ceremony, and there wasn’t. This was a concert,” Hillary told reporters today at a White Pride parade in Pittsburgh. “As for their endorsement, it doesn’t really matter. This is a small, foreign country, and it doesn’t get more red-state than that. It’s not important.”
Sniper Fire will be performing the first of several Polka For Hope benefits to raise money for Barack Obama tonight at the Tuzla Ramada Ballroom and Conference Center.
