"Rodham" Family Tree-
Eugene Judy, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, a fellow lacking in character, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows.
On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted, and hanged in 1889."
Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton @NY.Gov for comments.
Hillary's staff of professional image spin adjusters cropped Remus's picture, scanned it, enlarged the image, and edited it with image processing software so that all that's seen is a head shot.
The accompanying biographical sketch is as follows:
"Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad.
''Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
''In 1888, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency.
''In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
And so, Hillary's journey began.
soooo it's true ......... hillary has had a lip and eye job!!!
Not all of our ancestors were perfect ladies and gentlemen. In fact, some of them weren't even vertebrates.
Animal Farm brought to life.
Bill Clinton looks jealous of the size of Hugh's cigar...
A civic event held in his honor. Oh, that must be a "HANGING" where everybodys invited! Public execution was a big civic event back then. Are there any photos?
I think Hillary is a skunk, but I certainly hope that we are not going to begin looking into to the family history of every candidate. The campaigns are already messy. Can you imagine if we begin this? Yieks!!!
he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency.
Yeah, he was the target of the investigation. LOL.
''In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor
Uhuh, his public execution in the town square!
It's just way too funny the way it is spun, if true. It all depends on what the definition of "key player" and "civic function" is.
I keep forgetting why it pays to read the thread before posting to it. :-)
LOVE IT.
LOL.
Printing it for sharing. Doesn't matter if it's a spoof or not.
Have missed out on the grandma being a beagle. I don't get the joke. Please educate me.
The two Rodham brothers will be a thorn in her side. They were involved in all sorts of illegal shennanigans influence peddling on Sis' dime and were later pardoned by Slick.
One of these totally unappetizing characters even married up with Barbara Boxer's daughter, had the wedding at the Clinton WH...now that is a marriage made in heck!
now that is a marriage made in heck!
= = = =
I thought marriages made in blazes were a Shrillery/Klintoon TRADITION.
The Boxer/Rodham union did not last very long... went up in smoke!
That Boxer Rodddem Good union went up in smoke?
What a surprise! What a surprise!
Can anyone spell c u r s e d?
Welllll, perhaps. Getting that close to Shrillery has got to be equal to a curse.
Boxerface is hardly any better, if any, at all.
Can anyone imagine waking up in the morning and facing either creature?
She told me she was an Alsatian!
