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 1885, 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 im****tant
civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was
standing collapsed."
And THAT is how it's done folks -- Get ready for lots of it!
