Amelia Earhart: Why is Hillary Clinton backing new search? (+video)
By Peter Grier | Christian Science Monitor – 14 hrs ago
Hillary Clinton and the US State Department are backing a new search for the remains of Amelia Earhart and her famous Lockheed Electra 10E. In doing so they are attempting to help solve one of the 20th century’s most famous mysteries: What happened to Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan when they disappeared in the Pacific on the fateful day of July 2, 1937.
**SNIP**
Why the US support for this effort? Well, for one thing, Clinton herself is something of an Earhart aficionado. She said that when she was growing up in Illinois her mother was an Earhart fan and filled her ears with stories of the aviatrix’s derring-do. This led Clinton to dream of herself becoming an astronaut – so she wrote NASA when she was 13 to ask whether she could qualify.
“NASA wrote me back and said there would not be any women astronauts. And I was just crestfallen,” she said in her speech.

Where the term 'moonbat' originated?
Easy—Hillary Clinton has an affinity for ugly women both living and dead.
I mean, look at all the dogs she put in positions of power—I mean look at HER!!!.
Probably another lie like her being named after sir Edmond Hillary. She was 9 or 10 when he climbed Mt. Everest, before that he was unknown.
Or going to the Marine recruiting station and trying to enlist.
Or any of the other lies she has told and never called out on. . . . .
one word, DISTRACTION
They got lost, ran out of fuel, and crashed into the Pacific. It's a big ocean...
Only if blimps are sent into space....
North Korea, Egypt, Libya, Syria, UN, Russia, Venezuela, etc. Has anyone seen our brilliant Secretary of State?
She once claimed she was named after the famous adventurer, Sir Edmund Hillary, I wonder why she didn’t mention that?
I thought she was a Marine?
Or maybe she was dodging snipers in Bosnia.
Oh the Huge Manatee.
they wanted an easier search than looking for corzines lost billions or husseins lost trillions.
The use of the word "aviatrix" is correct, because it is the feminine equivalent of "aviator."
However, when I was flying for the Air Force, someone once used the term "aviators" to describe male pilots and "aviatrix's" to describe female pilots (as we used to do with the terms "actors" and "actresses").
It set off a PC firestorm.
Today, all version of language seemed to revert to the masculine. Every best actress winner I can remember in recent years will describe themselves as "an actor" and not "an actress."
I have no doubt the Clintons could beat any lie detector and
truth serum!
So where is the D@mn picture?
Supposedly this is based on a photo of a strut and a wheel but none of the stories has the pic?
If Hillary Clinton were backing the search, she would be using her own damn millions, not my tax money. It’s a political stunt. She must have inside information that something has been found, and wants to use the successful search as a boost for her presidential ambitions.
Cover for something else.
I’m thinking Chelsea has an exclusive on this story
Yeah. Why don’t these scumbags look for the remains of our men lost in WWII when they got lost on patrol, ran out of fuel, and crashed into the Pacific?
I don’t give a rat’s ass about Earhart.
I’m thinking that they are looking at having Amelia replace Clueless Joe in the VP slot for 2012. More name recognition and won’t make as many gaffes!!
Well...she became something that starts with "a-s--------" anyway.
