Actually, I have read it about three different places already. I don't think it's that big a deal, either.

Rooting for the home team?

I was eight years old when Sputnik was lauched. We went outside one evening and observed it going over head WITH THE NAKED EYE.

Poor Hillary, she comes up with these lame “I am the common person” stories and they make her look like a moron every time.

I’m not saying you couldn’t use the binoculars to observe, but finding Sputnik with them would have been very difficult.

Sputnik appeared as a dim star crossing the night sky. It was easy to spot because of it’s noticable movement.

Maybe so. But sometimes, late at night, when it was really, really quiet, she could hear AlGore's mom singing the union theme song, serenading her young son to sleep...

You mean to tell me that a 10 year old girl would be interested in aerospace and Sputnik?

She most likely looked at the sun instead, which would explain her looney leftist thinking.

Pack up whatever it is she's selling, because I ain't buying. It all smells like b*llsh*t anyway....
