Hillary Clinton is fast becoming as much of a "fair game" as lawyers
and blondes; everyone seems intent on taking her down a peg. Most of
the jokes I've heard/seen about her are either not very funny, or else
simply replace her name for Bush's. But this one is different; it seems
custom-made. And it is funny...
From: J.P.
Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that
Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, 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 for comments. Hillary's staff of
Professional
Image adjusters sent back the following biographical sketch:
"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 1887, 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 THAT is how it's done, folks!
