| Re: Joke Dept. Post your funny stuff here. 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! |
