About this business of Hillary coming under intense sniping, I have some sympathy. The Clintons got away with this sort of thing for so long that you can’t blame them for wondering how they missed the memo advising that henceforth the old rules no longer apply. Bill, being warier, was usually canny enough to set his fantasies just far enough back in time that live cable footage was unlikely to be available — his vivid memories of entirely mythical black church burnings in his childhood, etc. But Hillary liked to live a little more dangerously. The defining fiction arose back in the mid-Nineties when she visited New Zealand and met Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Everest, and for some reason decided to tell him he was the guy her parents had named her after.
Hmm. Edmund Hillary reached the top of Everest in 1953. Hillary Rodham was born in 1947, when Sir Edmund was an obscure New Zealand beekeeper and a somewhat unlikely inspiration for two young parents in the Chicago suburbs. If any of the bigshot U.S. newspaper correspondents on the trip noticed this inconsistency, they kept it to themselves. I mentioned it in Britain’s Sunday Telegraph at the time, but like so many other improbabilities in the Clinton record it sailed on indestructibly for years. By 2004 it was preserved for the ages in Bill Clinton’s autobiography, on page (gulp) 870: “Sir Edmund Hillary, who had explored the South Pole in the 1950s, was the first man to reach the top of Mount Everest and, most important, was the man Chelsea’s mother had been named for.”

Hmmmmm... nice wording, Bill. So being the man Chelsea's mother was named for is more important than being the first man to reach the top of Mount Everest?
And this guy thinks he's good with words? Sheesh....
Best read of the day. If reality meant something anymore in this election, Herself the Queen Charlatan and her Consort-Of would be retreating, tails between the legs with remorse for pulling the myriad of lies on the American Public. There would be shouts of “We can’t trust them when they can’t and won’t tell the truth, They aren’t fit to represent anyone, much less the state of New York or, the Lord forbid, the US in the White House!” But alas, they have and they still might again. If they do, the republic is doomed. I do believe, that their meglomania is so entrenched, and their warped psyche’s so driven, that they just might pull this off again. But we have been warned, in their own words and deeds that they simply cannot be trusted.

Hillary is experiencing the Kim Campbell meltdown. No Canadian will ever forget Kim’s claims of being bilingual, or being fluent in Russian, or...
...there were just too many of them. And she was found out on every one. It finished her political career for good.
This explains why when Hillary makes speeches, she drones on and on.
Yes, and Obama has learned well, lie until you get caught, hear both sides:

No one left for the Clintons to lie to . . . except themselves.
The Clintons are the Undead.

Actually, I'll bet Sir Edmund was a horse herder, given the Horse S**t Hillary Rodham Clinton spews every time she opens here mouth.
To further the metaphor, she actually speaks from here back side, as seen here, and not her mouth.
Too bad it won’t lead to the same thing: “Democrats, party of two...”
Ouch. Thanks for posting that picture. Not.
Shudder. She does look and sound just so.
Yes, Bill and Hillary Ceausescu...
> Actually, I’ll bet Sir Edmund was a horse herder, given the Horse S**t Hillary Rodham Clinton spews every time she opens here mouth.
Sir Edmund Hillary died a couple months ago in New Zealand, and was buried with state honors while our entire nation mourned.
It is unseemly to associate this great man with a bullsh*t artist like HillBilly Clinton. It was unseemly for her to do so in NZ, and in was unseemly for Billary to do so in his book, and we really shouldn’t defile Sir Ed’s memory by doing so on the FRee Republic.

Amazing! I guess no reporter actually read Clinton’s book, or they are all worse in math than I already thnk they are, or worse in knowing history of the twentieth century, or .... were willing to be lied to in every way by BJ Clinton.
It all started with “ I DIDN’T INHALE “
That told you all you needed to know about the Clintons
But then Ross Perot came along and the 43% vote the dems get NO MATTER who runs was enough to get them in the WH
