"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.""

Now, if they'd just made EVERYBODY wear 20 lb. ankle weights, it would have been far more fair and equitable, wouldn't it, Miz Rodham?Shades of the "handicaps" imposed on ordinary citizens to make everyone "equal" in the short story Harrison Bergeron there, hmmm?

She also abandoned hopes of becoming a scientist or mathematician because she didn't have the best grades in those subjects. The "smartest woman" in the world admits she's no so smart!

In the interest of accuracy we now need to add that very line to Hillary's talking doll's vocabulary, sit back and wait for the feminists' reactions.
