Hillary is Dead, Long Live Hillary?
The death of Sir Edmund Hillary is an appropriate time to remember that Hillary Clinton is a moral defective:
During a stop in Nepal while on a south Asian goodwill tour in April 1995, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton engaged in a brief (and reportedly coincidental) meeting with Sir Edmund Hillary (who, along with Tenzing Norgay, became the first person to reach the summit of the world's highest mountain, Mt. Everest, in 1953) and told reporters she had been named after the famed mountain climber. The notion that Ms. Clinton's given name was inspired by the man who conquered Everest was almost certainly a bit of fiction invented for political expediency (as many critics have noted, Edmund Hillary didn't become world-famous until six years after Hillary Rodham was born)[.]
Clinton tried to concoct some gobbledygook about her mother, while pregnant, having read an article about pre-Everest Hillary:
However, how likely was Dorothy Rodham, a Chicago housewife, to have seen an article about a New Zealand mountain climber? We performed a comprehensive search of several major American newspapers (including the Chicago Tribune) and found that none of them made any mention of Edmund Hillary whatsoever prior to June 1953, so it's fair to say that the American media paid him little note prior to his successful assault on Mt. Everest that year.
Just like her pervert husband: The bigger and more obnoxious the lie, the better.

In the end, her fraud thoroughly debunked, she came up with one last spin: Her mother lied to her about it. When push came to shove, she threw her own mother under the bus.

Shame on anyone who would for a moment consider voting for this vile woman.

I dunno, dude. Given the kind of monstrously bloated executive authority she'll be wielding, this is exactly the kind of incompetent liar I want at the top. The inevitably forthcoming whoppers represent the only chance we'll have at a healthy skepticism of our chief executive.

[Kip replies: And she'll "be ready from Day One"! And she has "so many ideas, the country can't afford them all."]
