A column entitled 'Hillary Clinton’s Million Little Lies' is getting a lot of attention today, almost certainly because it captures a vital aspect for the former first lady, senator, and secretary of state. Michael Walsh begins with lone of the great all-time howlers:
To hear Hillary Clinton tell it, she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Mount Everest — even though she was already 6 years old when he made his famous ascent.
Dame Liesalot now blames that one on her mother, safely deceased and unable to defend herself. It is very reminiscent of Elizabeth Warren claiming that 'family lore' instructed her claim to Native American heritage at a moment in life when it would gain her membership in the faculty of Harvard Law School.
The next lie chronicled is far more venal and self-serving than merely explaining an embarrassing misspelling of her first name.
On a visit to war-torn Bosnia in 1996, she claimed she and her entourage landed under sniper fire and had to run “with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base†— although videos of her arrival show her waltzing serenely across the tarmac, waving to the crowd.

Perhaps insignificant, but I think she lied about how she was always a Yankees fan.
She explained that growing up in Chicago, that the Chicago Cubs were her hometown team. And she said that the Cubs were in the National League, and she wanted an American League team to root for. So she chose the Yankees.
But her criteria don’t make sense, because if she wanted an American League team to cheer for, she could have rooted for her hometown Chicago White Sox.
I wonder if anyone ever asked why Rose law firm
records should have been in the WH in the first place.
There’s so many, but it’s falls between her lies about Benghazi, the lie she told that Chelsea was jogging down near the Twin Towers on the morning of 9/11, and the lie that she was under sniper fire while landing in Bosnia.
The lie about Chelsea’s parentage?
The story that she was named after Edmund Hillary, who would have been unknown outside of the New Zealand mountaineering community at the time of her bith.
I guess second runner up lie has to be that she had nothing to do with her closest friend and partner turning up dead from “suicide” with his blood running uphill, deep in the muddy woods with not a trace of soil on his shoes.
RIP Vince.

I’ll go with “named after Sir Edmund Hillary”. So obviously disprovable with a couple mouse clicks, and so utterly pointless that only a pathological liar would tell it.
The one about trying to join the Marines — or was it the Army? — for real, and not just as a joke or to test for sexism.
She also allegedly was interested in becoming an astronaut at one time. But who can ever prove or disprove that she made inquiries about that????

We are not supposed to ask such questions.
Anybody who asks that of Her Highness better have their taxes in good order. Once she becomes president, she will pick up where Obama left off, in using the IRS and the force of government against all political enemies. Of which we heard her say that Republicans are her enemies. Beware...........
Gosh, I don’t know where all that money came from in my investment accounts.
I had a brief email correspondence with Craig Livingstone, one of the guys involved in the FBI filegate. He was a pretty nice guy. Of course what was scandalous then is routine with Obama.
She roamed around the earth for about 8 years without a name, with her parents waiting for an itinerant sheep farmer from New Zealand to scale Mt. Everest.
I have to go with the Edmund Hillary lie. It was such a petty lie and so easy to check out. It just shows the compulsiveness of her lying. Even when there is no tangible benefit, she chooses falsehood over truth. Anyone who would lie in such an instance can never be trusted.
Can't make up this stuff, can you?
