Remember when Bill Clinton said he remembered all those black churches that were burned in his hometown when he was a kid? Remember when Hillary Clinton said here parents named her after Sir Edmund Hillary?
Only later did we learn that no record could be found of any church burnings in the timeframe claimed by Bill. And the fact that Sir Edmund conquered Everest in 1953 and Hillary was born in 1947 cast doubt on her namesake claim (who, except for climbing enthusiasts, had heard of Edmund Hillary in 1947?).
Now, Hillary says she wanted to be an Olympic athlete and an astronaut when she was a kid. NASA, according to the new Hillary history, told her, “We don’t take girls.”
That story sounds as bogus as this one reported in Jet Magazine in 2001 after Bill announced he was opening his office in Harlem:
While touring Harlem, Clinton said he has loved the city ever since he was a Rhodes scholar at England’s Oxford University and would take advantage of cheap airline fares from Europe to New York City. “And every time I did, I took the public transportation to 125th Street on the West Side ? I mean the East Side ? and I would walk down 125th all the way west …,” Clinton said. “This is back in the ’60s now. People would come up to me and ask me what I was doing here, and I said, `I don’t know. I just like it.’ I felt at home.”
Uh, East, no, uh, West Side, no maybe it WAS the East side. Yeah, sure, Bill.
