Did you know that Hilary Clinton was named after Sir Edmund ?
[snip]
Not so long ago Hillary Clinton claimed that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary who with (Nepalese mountaineer Tensing Norkay) was the first to ascend the summit of Mount Everst. Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton was born in 1947 and Sir Hillary’s quest came in 1953. Unless Hillary Clinton’s parents named their precious daughter after an obscure New Zealand beekeeper, Hillary told a colorful white lie.

Yes, I did read she said that, though she was born before Hilary reached the summit!

NOTE: the survival of our Republic is threatened by two things — fundamentalist Islamic terrorists and Hillary Rodham Clinton. President Bush is leading the fight against the terrorists. It is up to those of us who know the real Hillary Clinton to lead the fight against her. We must shine the light of truth on this dangerous woman so that all Americans may know the real Hillary.

Why the name Hillary? Did her parents just like that name? Was there an aunt or grandma named Hillary? Not according to Hillary Clinton.
Most people know that the first conqueror of Mt. Everest was Sir Edmund Hillary. During an Asian tour in 1996, Hillary Clinton paid visits to Australia and New Zealand.
Our Hillary proudly told reporters that her parents named her for New Zealand’s favorite son, Sir Edmund Hillary. Apparently, Hillary Rodham’s parents must have been psychics. Sir Edmund Hillary was a beekeeper in New Zealand and, although he had been involved in mountain climbing before Mt. Everest, he really was pretty much unknown outside of New Zealand. The problem that our former First Lady must explain is how she was named for the adventurer whose Everest climb was in 1953. Hillary Rodham was born in 1947. Whoops!
It is, of course, not a big lie, but it certainly is indicative of Hillary Clinton’s aversion to the truth. She can tell lies, she can commit perjury, she can hide billing records because she has not been made to pay the price. Until she does, the lies will continue, some of which will be very detrimental to this nation.

That is a surprise. I thought she was named after Hilary Swank.
