During an April 1995 visit to Tibet, Hillary Clinton met New Zealand’s Sir Edmund Hillary, co-first-climber of Mount Everest. Clinton remarked that her mother, Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham, had told her that she was named after the famous climber. “It had two L’s, which is how she thought she was supposed to spell Hillary,” Clinton said at the Tibet meeting. “So when I was born, she called me Hillary, and she always told me it’s because of Sir Edmund Hillary.”

However, the Everest climb did not take place until 1953, more than five years after Clinton was born. Clinton opponents have used the discrepancy as evidence towards the charge that she is prone to fabrications. Clinton said that her mother read about beekeeper-turned-mountaineer Edmund Hillary in a publication while pregnant in 1947 and liked the name and thus used the two L’s form. Some searches of prominent U.S. publications show no publicity given to Edmund Hillary before the Everest climb, so it is unlikely that Dorothy Rodham (who has not publicly spoken about the issue) would have heard of him. Furthermore, Hillary with two L’s was not that unusual a spelling at the time. Snopes.com concluded that Hillary Clinton probably made up the naming story as “a little white lie concocted for a special occasion.” Finally, in October 2006, a spokeswoman for Senator Clinton’s re-election campaign explained that she was not in fact named after the mountain climber, stating rather that “It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add.”

While Queen Hillary the Great and Little Billy Clinton have quite a bit NOT in common they do share one defining trait and that is that they are both prodigious liars. Little Billy, however, is a much better liar even if he is regularly found to be telling yet another whopper.

Hillary's stupidest lies (not counting the hundreds of instances of "I don't remember.", "I can't recall.", "I just don't know.", etc. when under oath) tend to be wacky stuff like the "I was named for Edmund Hillary" whopper that appear to be nothing more than an attempt to make herself look even better to her already adoring supporters. I mean, why bother - unless you've got a major screw loose, that is?

Hillary doesn't car about our country, she will say anything to get back into the White House. If you recall, she treat the staff like trash yet all of a sudden she's this soft hearted sweet woman. She's a sociopath (and Im not just being mean, she has all the traits). I truly the only other person in the world she cares about (other then herself, is Chelsea).

She wiped thehard drive clean, but the one in Billie has in his pants. The reason for that is Monica couldn't take anymore of silly willie. AftrvBillie's hard driver she started doing computer hard drives, and found them harder to wipe.

When she called her husband a liar and a cheat just prior to hurling a lamp at him.

She's telling the truth when she says she's a democrat. There's plenty of proof for that.

That she has lots of experience with evil men. She has surrounded herself with them and is clearly evil herself. Enough with her shrill speeches and her socialistic idiocy.
