If anyone doesn't know this story about

Quote:
For more than a decade, one piece of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s informal biography has been that she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Mount Everest. The story was even recounted in Bill Clinton’s autobiography.
But yesterday, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign said she was not named for Sir Edmund after all.
“It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add,” said Jennifer Hanley, a spokeswoman for the campaign.

Why the backtrack?...Simple...
It was found (probably by a 2nd grader), that the numbers don't add up...
Hillary was born in 1947...
Six years BEFORE Sir Edmund climbed Everest...
