From the time she was born until Sir Edmund climbed Mt. Everest, her family just referred to her as ‘the girl’ or ‘hey you’
To: Always Right
Didnt Miss Hillary invent mountain climbing?Actually, if you look on her resume you'll see she created Mount Everest right along with God so she has the unique skills to do the job.

continue to call her “Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton”. Or “Sir” for short.

I don’t see why everyone is picking on Hillary. It’s obvious that one of her parents was prescient. This is obviously an ability that if handed down will be very valuable to her as President.
It’s sad to see the passing of a great man that was so humble. This is the type of man we should hope our children emulate.

My personal favorite of the endless, truly endless Hillary Clinton lies: She asserts that she was named in honor of Sir Edmond Hillary.
Young Edmond Hillary was a totally unknown New Zealand bee keeper at the time that we were cursed with Hillary’s birth.

Hillary Clinton will attend his funeral...Seven years from now. Quote of the day. And I'm stealing it.

Farewell to a humble hero who used his notariety only for the good.
It's unfortunate that more don't follow his example. Maybe he raised the bar too high..
To: LibWhacker
Hm, but the picture shows them at an embassy for a publicity shot, so it can’t be considered anything but?
There is still at least some chance that Mallory and Irvine were among the first to scale Everest, btw. Most would qualify the feat of mountain climbing by specifying one has to return alive. Hm.
To: CholeraJoe
Sir Edmund was named after Hillary Clinton. /S

I remember when the news of their success reached the UK.
It was on the morning of the Queen's coronation - made a great day even more special.
RIP Sir Edmund.

It's unfortunate that more don't follow his example. Maybe he raised the bar too high..I think most current celebrity follow the shallow paths they do is because they know their "achievements" are hollow. Sir Edmund followed the dictum "to whom much is given, much is expected" and was rewarded with riches beyond anything this world could provide.

Bravo, and it’s an exact likeness.
