The Migrant Workers of Park Ridge

CNN reports on a speech by New York's junior senator:

Appearing before a religious conference earlier this week, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) told the audience that as a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers so that their older siblings could join their parents at work.

"I was fortunate that at an early age, through my church, I was given the opportunity to expand my horizons," Clinton told the 600 adults and teenagers attending the Sojourners "Covenant for a New America" conference.

Mrs. Clinton grew up in Park Ridge, Ill., a tony Chicago suburb that as of 2000, according to census data, was 95.4% white, had a median family income of $87,795, and had a grand total of 174 families (1.7%) below the poverty level. How many migrant workers could there have been for her to baby-sit for?

She is also a life long Yankees fan. I hear she hunted and ran a trap line to help feed her family as a child.

Not only did she hunt and trap, she used to walk 30 miles barefoot through the snow(uphill) to pick cotton, it was the only way her family and the migrants could survive, it was hard but she did it!

True enough, but more precisely an out and out demagogue thus very dangerous. If only 1% of the tales about this woman are true she belongs in jail, not in office. Further, twenty five (25) lashes with a Cat-o-Nine Tails is probably in order. However, that would require more strength than our present populace would appear to be able to muster. A nice catch phrase might be "Hillary to the Pillory!!!"

Uhhhhhh....yeah. And just how long did Sunday school last? And how did the parents work out the logistics? Did they work with the little papooses strapped to their backs until 9:00 in the morning and then run into town real quick, drop off the planned and wanted children, and then run back out to the field and then ran back into town an hour later when Sunday school was out and then run back out into the field to finish the day's work?

What a bunch of peanut brains.

As the 2008 elections get closer, I can see where Hildabeast's spiel will get nothing but worse.

Expect some old photos of her in a coon skin cap to show up any time now.

Do reptiles sleep?

After my second Mich Light. Not a LOL, but a little chuckle...

Yeah, holding a home made bow carved out of a table leg and arrows made from curtain rods!

[Texas Eagle]

This is right out of the husband's playbook. She won't be called on it.

Bingo. Did you read the whole article? The author just runs with the story as if it was a straight news story. Incredulously, the author posits the potential for harm this story presents for Hillary, not because she runs the risk of being caught telling yet another bold-faced whopper, but because her left-wing base might be repulsed by yet another of her faith-based anecdotes of her upbringing.

What a world they live in. Curiouser and curiouser.

I still want to know what specifically David Shippers saw that prompted he and his wife to drop to their knees in prayer.

[Beagle8U]

"Yeah, holding a home made bow carved out of a table leg and arrows made from curtain rods!"

HEY! Don't make fun of that, I did the exact same thing when I was about 6. ( except I made the bow out of a tree branch).

[Fixit]

I drew this up a few years ago, it seems even more necessary now...

[Straight Vermonter]

Not only that, she was a Yankee fan too!

[Fintan]

A lot of us know this woman's pathetic...what's worse is there are people who believe her bullshit.

[calex59]

HEY! Don't make fun of that, I did the exact same thing when I was about 6. ( except I made the bow out of a tree branch).

Yeah, me too, but my arrows were straight sticks(or as straight as I could find them)not curtain rods! I was really surprised when I got older and found out you could actually buy a bow! The difference between me and hilda beast is I never had to feed my family with my home made tree limb bow. She must be an extraordinary person, well at least one filled with an extraordinary amount of BS!

....and was named after a little known New Zealand bee keeper who subsequently was the first to climb Mt Everest.....

[Beagle8U]

Well, One of my uncles was a Boyer ( a friend of Fred Bear) and by the time I was 7-8 I learned to make a "self bow" from hickory, my uncle gave me arrows from his arrow shop.

[calex59]

....and was named after a little known New Zealand bee keeper who subsequently was the first to climb Mt Everest.....

Yeah, too bad Sir Hillary climbed Mount Everest so long after the beast was born. Must have been hard living without a name. I guess they would just call her "hey, you!"

Ann Coulter is the only person who can beat Hillary for the presidency.
