Does this mean Ms. Clinton has to give back her name?

My dad always told me I was named after Paul Newman’s character Cool Hand Luke, because I was born with severe birth defects and I needed a tough name. The thing is, my mom chose that name before I was born, and before anyone knew of my health problems. But it still makes a good story and people love stories.

From the time she was born until Sir Edmund climbed Mt. Everest, her family just referred to her as ‘the girl’ or ‘hey you’

Since she started out as a Goldwater Girl, I always thought her first name was actually "Barry".

"HRC: Time for me to go on TV and express my sadness at the passing of my namesake and make sure the camera zooms in real close when I say "this...sniff...is...real...sniff...personal...for me...he was named after me...and now, he lost so many opportunities to climb more mountains...sniff...and I had so many...sniff opportunities...this is so hard...its hard to climb mountains...sniff, especially if you're a woman in politics..."

Snort! ROFLMDAO!!! Excellent, you just made my day!!!!! Too funny!
