Sen. Clinton served on Wal-Mart's board of directors from 1986 to 1992, when she was first lady of Arkansas. During her presidential campaign, she has faced some criticism over Wal-Mart's labor record and the lack of women in upper management.
There is footage in the archive of Mrs. Clinton joining Mr. Walton, Wal-Mart's founder, on a stage at the 1991 opening of a store in Rogers, Ark. "I'm so proud of this company and everything it represents," Mrs. Clinton said. "It makes me feel real good about what we've been able to do."
Mr. Walton responded: "You're a great associate, Hillary." Turning to the crowd, he added: "She's one of us."

Yeah, she'd fit right in with most of the people I see in Wal Mart. Trashing the place, acting stupid, letting their kids be a nuisance.
but, sometimes they prove themselves to be just lame and stupid.

The story is about a small video company that was canned by Walmart.
The company has all the video surveillance of Walmart for years past.
They tried to sell the videos back to Walmart for 2 million, but Walmart only offered $500k. So this company is threatening to sell the videos on the open market.
It has videos of all the private parties with execs doing some embarrassing things.
Oh please tell me there is footage of Hiliarly wearing a Dick Nixon mask, a strap on marital aid, and giving that infamous “V for Vicotry” sign...LOL
Was there sniper fire?
Dick Nixon mask, no, but instead a Hubert Humphrey mask.
She borrowed the strap-on from Janet Reno.
Who got the Snap-on tools endorsement?
“Yeah, she’d fit right in with most of the people I see in Wal-Mart.”
I think one of her perks for sitting on the board was a lifetime supply of elastic pant suits. I especially love the brown one she wears on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I’m for Obama too, he’s for (climate) change.
The best part, maintains plaintiffs lawyer Gene P. Graham Jr., is that “Wal-Mart has no control over this stuff.”
Wal-Mart isn’t pleased. “It’s difficult to understand how the company could now sell to third parties the material we paid it to produce on our behalf,” says a Wal-Mart spokeswoman. “Needless to say, we did not pay Flagler Productions to tape internal meetings with this aftermarket in mind.” She adds that the company is “reviewing our legal options”.
Flagler offered to sell the whole video archive to Wal-Mart for several million dollars, Ms. Villanueva says, although she won’t disclose the exact price. Wal-Mart countered with an offer of $500,000, arguing the footage wouldn’t be of interest elsewhere, the two owners say.

Wal-Mart isn’t pleased ... well too bad ... maybe they should read the paperwork from their own portrait studios ,,, same EXACT situation and legal agreement ,,, you do not own the rights to the photo’s only the prints themselves that are bought through the studio which owns the copyright in perpetuity. They were offered a fair deal to buy the rights and came back with a counter that was ridiculous,, they’re screwed.
