Bill Clinton's lies revisited

Well, I wasn't going to say anything more about this issue, but lo and behold, leave it to Captain Happy Pants and the MSM to reopen the issue. Look what "Arnold" from the TheologyWeb.com forums found (emphasis mine):

US bids farewell to civil rights icon Rosa Parks
DETROIT (Reuters) - Thousands of mourners, some of whom waited for hours in the cold, paid a final tribute on Wednesday to Rosa Parks, who galvanised the U.S. civil rights movement by refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in the segregated South a half a century ago.

Former President Bill Clinton said her simple act of civil disobedience in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama "ignited the most significant social movement in American history."

The casket carrying Parks, who died on October 24 at age 92, was placed in a horse-drawn hearse for a procession to a Detroit cemetery after a seven-hour church service. Entombment in a mausoleum well after sunset was private.

Clinton recounted how he remembered Parks' historic act when he was a nine-year-old boy riding a segregated bus to school every day in Arkansas.

The next day, he said, he and two friends decided to pay tribute to Parks by sitting in the back of their bus.

His statement from my previous entry on this issue may have been from 6 years ago, but this one obviously wasn't. And now we know some more details. He was talking about the school buses he rode, not public transportation. And the story is still completely unbelievable.
