Amelia Earhart: Why is Hillary Clinton backing new search? (+video)
By Peter Grier | Christian Science Monitor 14 hrs ago
Hillary Clinton and the US State Department are backing a new search for the remains of Amelia Earhart and her famous Lockheed Electra 10E. In doing so they are attempting to help solve one of the 20th centurys most famous mysteries: What happened to Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan when they disappeared in the Pacific on the fateful day of July 2, 1937.
**SNIP**
Why the US support for this effort? Well, for one thing, Clinton herself is something of an Earhart aficionado. She said that when she was growing up in Illinois her mother was an Earhart fan and filled her ears with stories of the aviatrixs derring-do. This led Clinton to dream of herself becoming an astronaut so she wrote NASA when she was 13 to ask whether she could qualify.
NASA wrote me back and said there would not be any women astronauts. And I was just crestfallen, she said in her speech.

She was named after Sir Edmund Hillary you know....../sarc
Cuz nobody was buying the Sir Edmund Hillary story.
Funny, until I read your comment, I didn’t realize the original article was about you and your crusade to teach us dimwits the proper use of language.
We have a winner.
missing 1930’s lesbians need a proper burial....I mean, Cliton(sic) knows where Eleanor Rooooosevelt is buried.
Come back Huma....what can that 'Weiner' give ya???
Actually, while Earhart was a pioneer aviatrix, she was not a particularly good pilot, and neither she nor Noonan were really adequately trained or experienced to be flying long island hopping journeys. When you hit the coast of Europe, you can use landmarks to guide you. Not so over open ocean.
In cross country races with other female pilots, she did not fare well but, she was media darling.

Hillary has inside information on Earhart.
She is still alive,
She has been using an absentee ballot
and voting Democratic since 1937!!!
Exactly....pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Distractions to keep people’s eyes off the current happenings, exec orders, scary legislation. Wonder what they are up to now.
Refutes all the stories of folks relating to the Clintons in a poor light all suddenly coming to an untimely death.
Or that she’s a Cubs/Yankees/White Sox fan
Why? Because its another way to launder gov’t money back to Dem donors and ultimately into the Dem party. Its all about the money!
Nah! They need the vote.
Was this load before or after the Marines turned her down?
Someone give this woman a shovel for all her BS.
She turns 65 this year. Any chance she can retire and STHU? Nahhh, didn't think so.
Miraculously, she got her name in the news again.
Actually the real back story is even more bizarre. Erhart was a German spy and her plane was intercepted by a Nazi flying saucer from their Secret Antartica base. The purpose of the flight was for Erhart to meet up with the Nazi Space ship and exchange the stolen maps that revealed the true location of the Ark of the Covenant, but, unfortunately, Erharts airplane intersected the Space ships turbulence and crashed. Moments before the crash however, the Germans were able to beam Erhart to safety and with the maps. Clinton’s secretly very concerned that, with the help of the Mossad, Erharts plane is about to be found and when it is......there won’t be any Erhart. Clinton and the other members of the Council on Foriegn Relations are mortally afraid of any publicity that might resurrect stories about the Nazi’s secret UFO base in Antartica, especially now when its expected that Hitler is going to return from the Nazi base on Mars.
Sheesh, I can’t believe you people aren’t already aware of this stuff.

another big lie by Hillary,just lie he rlie abut being rejected by a US Marine recruiter
Born in 1947 she could have entered NASA as did other women, for future astronaut program or at least have become a test pilot
Maybe what NASA REALLY said to Hillary was:
“Dear MZZ Rodham, We currently aren’t accepting any ugly ass liberal arts major coke-bottle glasses wearing Yalie sisters. But thank you for your interest in our training program”
