SPIN how it's done

[capn_dave]

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 rail road. 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 rail road. 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 honour when the platform upon which he
was standing collapsed."

And THAT is how it's done, folks!

Thanks Dave,
Hillary has nothing on our own Portagee from whom we've learned that the Portugese are apparently responsible for not only the invention of sex, but the Virgin Birth, although not simultaneously. Similar details, such as the Portugese influence on the design and construction of American ships ranging from the schooner-yacht America to the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines have left us little time for Hillary's latest imaginings. Good work though. Are you aware of the Portugese origins of the name Remus? Rest easy, you soon will be. (g)

Sadly, it's all too plausible.

I think I read somewhere that Uncle Remus was a Porch-u-geee. Can't remember where I read it.

Dave, suggest you check Snopes or Truthorfiction or one of those sites before promulgating patently silly stuff ... the same story has been circulated about Al Gore.

There's no truth to it.

I read somewhere that Fred Thompson is Thomas Jefferson's illegitimate love child; and Dennis Kucinich is really a demonic elf.

I read it on the Internet, so it has to be true, right?

[sailaway21]

Kurt,
I think Dave's tongue was planted firmly in his cheek. I don't know anyone who doubts that, were the story true, it is about how the Clinton machine would play it out.

[AjariBonten]

Ah, I missed that too, my bad .......

[sailaway21]

Ajari!
That first one is a DAMN lie. The second one I'm not so sure about. have you seen Kucinich's economic policy statements? There's got to be a Santa Claus in there somewhere!
