Olympic athlete. Astronaut. Doctor. Scientist. All dream careers for the young Hillary Rodham, or so she claims…dreams squashed because NASA “[didn’t] take girls.” While all children go through phases of wanting to do something exciting and glamorous, these reminisces sound unbelievable coming from Hillary Clinton.
~snip~
While NASA did not have female astronauts when Hillary was a kid, Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto has pointed out that Sally Ride was only 3-1/2 years younger than Hillary when she became the first U.S. woman in space—a revelation which calls into question the validity of this latest public claim by the former first lady.
“This tall tale by Hillary was calculated not just to make voters feel warm and fuzzy about the senator, but to make specific points about her compassion and goodness,” claims Kuiper, whose quote book features over 500 provocative quotes carefully collected from 63 books and over 100 articles
“As the many fully attributed quotes in ‘I’ve Always Been A Yankees Fan’ demonstrate, she is constantly trying to manipulate her image through the press. Here, she’s trying to show that she’s ‘one of the girls,’ although nothing could be farther from the truth.
“Hillary Clinton has a long history of telling whoppers,” asserts Kuiper. “As I document in my book, she led people to believe that Chelsea was near the World Trade Center on 9/11, a claim which Chelsea herself disputed.”
Hillary is not just about pandering, but about rewriting history and her place in it.”
“There is not an ounce of authenticity to her public pronouncements,” “Hillary is attempting to rewrite the past, but the truth is out there. My book uses dozens upon dozens of independent sources to paint a picture of the real Hillary—a person who is often profane and always ambitious beyond justification.

Yep, that’s the Hillary I know.
As I recall, Hitler was obsessed with rewriting his past, embarrassed of the truths of his upbringing. History repeats...
Can you picture Hillary in diapers driving to Florida?
One thing I’ve learned during my lifetime is that the smaller the person the taller the tails.
All useful endeavours, things that actually might have beneficially contributed to the world. Endeavours Hillary never had any interest in pursuing whatsoever.
Why are people just now discovering that Hillary is a flim-flam artist? Seriously, she hasn’t changed in the 15+ years she’s been on the national scene, but now it’s now hip to point out her lack of substance when ten years ago she was the world’s smartest woman and she was a shoe-in to be the first woman president, etc. Conservatives were mean and sexist for bringing up the point of her phoniness.
At some level, I have to feel a bit sorry for her - she’s had so much smoke blown up her pantsuit for so long by the media and her “base”, that it has to be surprising to her that she’s no longer flavor of the month.
Ain't that the truth.
Add in the keyboard cowboys.
Ms. Clinton was named after him, you know. (Even though she was born several years before he became famous for climbing Mt. Everest.)

To say nothing of their tales...
Hey! Don’t forget She wanted to be a Marine!
I vote to make her an astronut. Along with Ralph Kramden as a launch coordinator. Here is the “a” I didn’t user earlier..
