Hillary Clinton: 5 Footer Duck Huntress Vacations at PA Cottage?

We just couldn't resist the question mark. Maybe we'll get a cut of any comedy routines that pick up on Hugh Rodham's claim Hillary Clinton is just 5-feet tall which has turned out to be inaccurate.

Physical Appearance:
5' 6", blonde hair, blue eyes

Somebody should do a skit of Hillary's short stature (Not).

One skit could show her growing and growing until she passes taller Barack Obama.

Another skit could show her getting more and more diminutive, with raised arms in a Rocky-Balboa swing at Gigantor, Barack Obama.

Her growth, or lack of, should be juxtaposed with her packing a duck-hunting rifle and shooting a "banded" duck. The skit-play moves on to a follow-up scene after her duck-kill downing a congratulatory shot of whiskey and beer chaser.

There's some basis in reality for the skit, that's a certainty.

Who remembered? Many remembered Hugh Rodham's name from way back, but only the diehard and Newmax readers from a decade ago recall the particulars about Hillary Clinton's brother.

Somebody should check out the Pennsylvania cottage Hugh Rodham claims the family still visits, according to the Tribune-Review.

Just as intriquing: Carl Bernstein's revelation in his book about Hillary:

Bill Clinton wanted a divorce back just before he sought the Presidency of the United States, and Hillary refused, even though she was aware of the affair he was having at the time?

Doesn't his fact prove Hillary Clinton was aware of Bill Clinton's cheating when the pair appeared on a network program wherein she hedged on that matter when questioned?

While it would be wrong to dismiss all of the laudable accomplishments of Hillary Clinton, (she is to be highly admired for them), it isn't wrong to point out that Hillary Clinton is part of the Washington Establishment, and has been a major player in developing the Clinton political machine in Arkansas, Washington DC, and nationwide.

After all now, Hillary Clinton is the Clinton machine in action.

Unfortunately, if that means deny, deny, deny and as Carl Berstein admitted during a panel discussion a couple of months ago, his observation was the Clintons use psychological warfare against Barack Obama to accomplish her own political goals, Hillary Clinton should meet with the same objections as anyone else employing deceit for gain.

As far as duck-hunting for the purpose of intentionally bagging a dead duck? Did she, or didn't she?

No slay.

Hillary Clinton killing or even attempting to harm an innocent duck, just sitting there for the taking, is not the image anybody would ever have had, until now. There's measured motivation behind her every word and act, and it is a political motivation potentially with deeper psychological roots than could ever be fully - if ever - explained.

But let's be clear about what has been reported Hillary Clinton said regarding duck hunting experience.

Excerpted from: Hillary Clinton tries to bag votes with duck tale BY MICHAEL McAULIFF DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU Tuesday, February 19th 2008

...Yes, she bagged a duck, back when she was the First Lady of Arkansas....

"I've hunted. My father taught me how to shoot," she told a crowd at the Labor Temple in rural northern Wisconsin. "I remember standing in the cold water. It was so cold, you know, at first light. I was with a bunch of my friends, all men.

"And they all were playing a trick on me, and said, 'We're not going to shoot, you shoot,' 'cause you know what they wanted to do. They wanted to embarrass me.

"So the pressure was on. So I shot, and I shot a banded duck."

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics...

That portrayal simply doesn't jive with actually going duck hunting for the intended purpose of killing a duck. It isn't clear when or why her father taught her how to hunt duck, or anything else. Carl Bernstein's research doesn't include that among her father's lessons in sport.

The New York Daily News piece does reveal she admits she was "tricked" in Arkansas as First Lady there to shoot and during the game to "embarrass" her, she "shot a banded" a duck.

So while Hillary Clinton may have indeed shot a duck to "prove" her capability, she can't really claim to have "gone duck-hunting" at least not armed-and-dangerous with an intended purpose to do-in a defenseless duck.

No less than Carl Bernstein concludes from research for his book: A Woman in Charge:

Bernstein: Hillary Clinton is inauthentic.

Claims of engaging in actual duck hunting don't pass the quack test based on similar sentiments by many.

Moreso, Hillary Clinton playing along - tricked into killing a duck - to prove herself capable of even that - using a gun to take an animal's life - could be viewed by many as an unsettling and chilling aspect of the Arkansas duck-tale.

Other women, as strong-appearing on the surface, never internally feel a need to prove themselves to anyone at any time at any place.

Sen. Clinton's brother draws small, enthusiastic crowd

...Rodham, a 57-year-old Florida attorney, is probably best known as brother-in-law Bill's golfing partner during the 1990s. He also is known for accepting $400,000 in legal fees from clients to lobby Bill Clinton for presidential pardons before he left office. Rodham eventually returned the money...

...Rodham said he was proud that "my 5-foot-tall" sister has stood tall in the campaign "taking everything the other candidates and the media throw at her."

"At the beginning of this campaign she was judged the most competent and experienced. What do we want to elect (now) ... the most incompetent and inexperienced?" Rodham asked.

He stressed his family's roots in Scranton and noted they still vacation in a cottage built by their grandfather at Lake Winola in Wyoming County...

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist says his biography reveals her ‘real’ self By John Springer TODAYShow.com contributor

...Toward their sister, at least, their father was capable of a modicum of tenderness. He taught her to play baseball, making her swing at his pitches until she connected with the ball solidly; fished with her at the lake; showed her (like her brothers) how to play pinochle; lingered some evenings over her math homework; told her tales of his childhood (including one about a blind mule that worked in the mines and walked outside to find his sight restored, and others about the freight trains he’d supposedly hopped); and exempted her from some of the heavier tasks assigned to her brothers...

Clinton Ad Misidentifies New Jersey voter as Pennsylvania voter

Hmm. somebody better start checking the voter registration rolls now, not after the fact. There is a possibility many voters' names remain in the statewide database that shouldn't be there. Raising more suspicion, the man featured in the ad recently moved from NJ to PA. He says he already voted in NJ, isn't registered in PA, yet, but plans to do so before November. Has anybody checked for new Sr. or Jr. in Bethlehem, PA? Seriously, check now, Democrat Bethlehemians who care.

Clinton's offended Pa. voter - not
Posted April 16, 2008 7:30 AM
by Josh Drobnyk

Barack Obama can take some solace out of Hillary Clinton’s new television ad in Pennsylvania. At least one of her supporters featured in the spot hammering Obama for his small town comments isn’t registered to vote in Pennsylvania.

Clyde Thomas, who sports a goatee in the ad and says, “the good people of Pennsylvania deserve a lot better than what Barack Obama said,” is actually registered in New Jersey. He voted there for Clinton Feb. 5. He only recently moved to Bethlehem, Pa...

Really good viewpoint

So... lemme get this straight: the Clinton people knew that ol' Clyde is in fact from Joisey and not registered to vote in PA. And they must have known the papers would find out. So, does this mean that Clyde was the only guy they could find in the whole state who was willing to stand in front of a camera and endorse Hillary?

What were they thinking? Or, to punctuate correctly: what? Were they thinking?

Bernstein on Clinton Ambition

After each of Hugh’s children was born, he drove the family back to Scranton for a baptism at Court Street Methodist Church, where he had been baptized in 1911, and his brothers before and after him. Every summer the Rodhams drove across the Alleghenys for a two-week vacation at a cabin he and his father, with their own hands, had built on Lake Winola, near Scranton, in the rolling Pennsylvania hills. The cabin had no heat, bath, or shower. It was a far different environment than the luxurious vacation cottages of many Park Ridge children on the shores of Lake Michigan or the Wisconsin dells.
