She's a former first lady, a United States senator, and a potential 2008 presidential candidate. But to hear Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton tell it, all of that pales in comparison to her real childhood dreams.

"I wanted desperately to be an Olympic athlete," Clinton said Monday at a Purchase College symposium on Title IX, the 1972 law outlawing sex discrimination in educational programs that receive federal funding. "I tried everything. I ran every race, and if I was really lucky I finished second to last...I couldn't jump, I couldn't run, I couldn't swim."

After determining she'd never be an athlete, she set her sights on becoming an astronaut.

"So I wrote to NASA and said, 'How do I sign up to be an astronaut?"' she said. "And they wrote back very politely and said, 'We don't take girls."'

Guess she couldn't keep that oversized tookus floating or running very long....

I would have thought she wanted to be a nurse in a children's hospital. Her PR staff is slipping.

[speed_addiction]

I guess this is after she wanted to be a Marine.

When she's in New Zealand,she claims to have been named after Sir Edmund Hillary.When she's taking to veterans,she claims to have once tried to join the Marines.

And now,when she's speaking about affirmative action in sports,she always wanted to be an athlete.

Message to Hillary....sweetheart,we may have been born at night,but it wasn't *last* night!

"So I wrote to NASA and said, 'How do I sign up to be an astronaut?"' she said. "And they wrote back very politely and said, 'We don't take girls."'

I thought that lie was busted a while back? I am shocked she is still telling it.

"I wanted desperately to be an Olympic athlete," Clinton said

What she was thinking was ""I wanted desperately to be a despotic dictator of a large and powerful country."

[NRA1995]

You know as well as I do that her supporters just say through clenched teeth, "Our....favorite....Senator.....doesn't....LIE!"

[Mr. Brightside]

When she's in New Zealand,she claims to have been named after Sir Edmund Hillary.When she's taking to veterans,she claims to have once tried to join the Marines.

And don't forget, she discovered late in her life that she was Jewish... a Jewish Yankee fan.

This whore will say anything but her prayers.But seriously,I'll wager that this kind of thing is right out of Saul Alinsky's handbook..."Gaining Power By Any Means Necessary".

[IrishMike]

The life long Yankee's fan .............. stop

"So I wrote to NASA and said, 'How do I sign up to be an astronaut?"' she said. "And they wrote back very politely and said, 'We don't take girls."'

What a psycho. The don't take girls, but they do take women.

Hillary Diane Rodham, Dorothy and Hugh Rodham's first child, was born on October 26, 1947.

Sally Kristen Ride First American Woman in Space Born: May 26, 1951

Let's see, they were born a whole 3 years 8 months apart.

"And then I tried to join the Marines but the recruiter told me they didn't take girls either..."

[Gay State Conservative]

And don't forget, she discovered late in her life that she was Jewish.

Let me guess...an Orthodox Synagogue.....Brooklyn....October 2000?

[Always Right]

And don't forget, she discovered late in her life that she was Jewish.

And she also discovered she was a lifelong's Yankees fan.

[Gay State Conservative]

And she also discovered she was a livelong Yankees fan.

Given that Missouri or Ohio could be *the* pivotal state in '08,watch for The Former Twelfth Lady to announce (in October of '08) that she's a lifelong Royals or Reds fan.

I say Royals and Reds because she'll have no problem carrying St Louis and Cleveland but would have trouble in KC and Cincinatti.

But it *would* be fun to watch her squirm when it's pointed out to her that when she was growing up,the *Athletics* were in KC,not the Royals!

[zerosix]

Don't forget she also "wanted very much to be a Marine."

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

I was thinking something along the lines of what she is doing now, you know, screwing people for money.

[Conservative Texan Mom]

She also wanted to be a super model.

THIS IS SUCH A CROCK OF SH T!

[mwilli20]

So she tried all the cool stuff, and upon realizing that she is an utter failure at all of it, she decided to ... go to Law School!
