Democrats were outraged by Safire's column when it appeared in early 1996:
How could he call her a "congenital liar" when clearly she was a "pathological liar"
with absolutely no help from her parents?
.
Sometimes I hate old articles!
Now THAT was a perfect example of a knee-jerk reaction!
If Hillary was a Republican, she'd still be hating life in Arkansas. She will get a free pass on her past from the MSM.
Somehow, the NYT and WaPo will lose the backup tapes for Clinton's entire presidential run and administration.
AHHH, the good old times! Remember the crap that Safire took after this was published? How dare he challenge the veracity of madame hillary and the incredible stories she tells! After all (we) are the President!
"blizzard of lies"
in old soviet union, annointed ones, chosen ones of party could never lie. even if they did lie, they did not lie because they could not do anything wrong and wrong was decided by party. so, if they did something "wrong" (bourgois wrong) they did not do anything wrong because party decided what was wrong and member of proletariat who accused annointed one of wrong-doing did free work for the state....maybe for life, or disappeared.
we had good system in old soviet union. we are trying to bring it here.
I have a good campaign slogan for Hilliary: "you can impeach ANOTHER Clinton~!
You should clarify and put "former first lady" in your title. For a minute, I thought it was a Maureen Dowd rant against Laura Bush. Laura has more class in her little pinkie than the carpet-bagging hag from Little Rock.
HilLIARy Rodham Clinton
in the Flesh

During an April 1995 visit to Tibet, Hillary Clinton met New Zealand's Sir Edmund Hillary, co-first-climber of Mount Everest. Clinton remarked that her mother, Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham, had told her that she was named after the famous climber. "It had two L's, which is how she thought she was supposed to spell Hillary," Clinton said at the Tibet meeting. "So when I was born, she called me Hillary, and she always told me it's because of Sir Edmund Hillary." [31]
However, the Everest climb did not take place until 1953, more than five years after Clinton was born. Snopes.com concluded that Hillary Clinton probably made up the naming story as "a little white lie concocted for a special occasion." [32]
Clinton opponents have used the discrepancy as evidence towards the charge that she is prone to fabrications. [33] In October 2006, a spokeswoman for Senator Clinton's re-election campaign explained that she was not in fact named after the mountain climber, stating rather that "It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add." [34]
