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.

Sorry ,you beat me by 5 minutes.
I got an e-mail today from a conservative friend in Syracuse by Dick Morris. He was showing us how Bill Clinton lied about Hillary (surprise) and her experience. All the things he said were apprised by Dick Morris and, of course, turned out to be, ahem, LIES.
“She took $1,000 and with the help of her friends, who Bill was helping to safeguard against inspections for the poultry industry, parlayed it in a matter of weeks on the futures market and then wouldn’t release her tax returns, so nobody knew about it until after the statute of limitations was lifted.
She told a federal grand jury that she didn’t work on a certain project in the Whitewater scandal, when she did, and she claimed she didn’t know it by that name but another name. ...
Her brother was paid $300,000 by a drug and crack cocaine dealer, who was serving a 20 year sentence in prison and her husband pardoned him, and she claimed she had no idea her brother was representing the guy.
She arranged a party for the head of the Orthodox Jewish community in one area, and that district voted for her by 1,400 to three, whereas previously it had been Republican and the leaders of the community walked out of jail shortly after the election.
She was fined $35,000 by the Federal Elections Commission for one of the largest campaign violations on record, claiming that she didn’t know that a fundraiser cost $1.2 million instead of $300,000, that enabled her to spend that extra money on her Senate campaign.”
Maybe if Hillary had majored in a real science instead of “political science” at Wellesley, she could have been a scientist or astronaut. Her choice. Not only does she whine, she lies at the same time!
Some pictures BELONG on the cutting room floor.
And the shallower the brook, the louder it babbles.
But, she can be king, if she has two.
I understand the Burger King is going to vote for her.
This is simply the Clinton MO. They have long mastered the political truism that if you tell a lie often enough, and convincingly enough, it will eventually be accepted as truth by the majority of the unwashed herd.
Depressingly, since the unwashed herd are more numerous than those who think, it works. And, even among those who DO think and know she is lying, her untruths are irrelevant because they see in her the best way to achieve their political aims.
This is why Bubba could way his finger and lie his butt off about his multiple Lewinsky knobbers and still retain the goodwill of the feminazi elite.
I like my mind’s eye unpolluted, thanks.
The higher a monkey climb, the more you see his behind.
LOOOOOOOOOL.... most excellent work :)
Thank you jveritas! I posted it yesterday or the day before when Sir Hillary died. My memory is failing me, lol.
wonder if Sir Hillary ever commented on that whole thing.
That’s an interesting thought and I don’t know the answer. I’m sure he heard of her claim and he probably had too much ‘class’ to ever comment on it.
Heading off to bed, it’s LATE!!
I really really don’t like Hillary Clinton. Nevertheless from what I’ve read tonight it would seem that some of the quotes from Kuiper’s book are taken out of context or just unfounded gossip. I take great offence of people taking President Bush’s statements out of context or using unverified sources to smear him and so to be fair I have to question some of this stuff unless someone could come up with verifiable information.

So she gave up? So she didn't try to join the Air Force and learn to fly high performance jets as some of the astronauts did? What kind of role model is she for girls?
