Now It Was 1961. (Hillary Was 13)
A Willing Suspension of Disbelief ^ | 01/28/2008 | Pjsbro

The Clinton campaign website now has two different dates that Hillary saw Dr. King:

The campaign has scheduled an event with Don Jones who they now say "was Hillary's youth minister and first took Hillary to hear Dr. Martin Luther King speak in 1961". (Hillary would have been 13 at the time)

At the speech she gave in Selma, she said she saw him "on a cold January night" in 1963, when Mrs. Clinton was 15.

And two weeks ago she told Tim Russert "I was 14 years old when I heard Dr. King speak in person".

That would have been in 1962.

yes, it was the Hilton. Also went to Commisky Park in Chicago to see the Yankees. Stottlemyre pitched, Yogi was the manager.

Later that season went to Yankee Stadium to see the Yankees play the Cardinals in the World Series. Sat behind Tim McCarger's parents behind the Cards dugout.

But I digress.

Point is, the older you get the more vividly you remember things further in your past, and the less reliable your near term memory becomes.

And when you had a picture taken with Tony Rezko??? You don’t remember, Hillary?

Selective memory, I guess.

Could this be Hillary’s Reverend Wright moment?
