Hillary Clinton: five facts you never knew concerning her

1. In 1969, after Hillary Diane Rodham graduated with departmental honors in political science, she worked her way across Alaska, washing dishes in Mount McKinley National Park and sliming salmon in a fish processing cannery in Valdez (which fired her and shut down overnight when she complained about unhealthy conditions).

2. It took Bill Clinton 4 years to make Hilary become his wife. They started dating in 1971. Hillary Rodham and Bill Clinton were married on October 11, 1975, in a Methodist ceremony in their living room

3. Bill Clinton returned to the Governor's office in1982. Only then Hillary Diane Rodham began to use the name Hillary Clinton, or sometimes "Mrs. Bill Clinton", in order to have greater appeal to voters.

4. From 1986 to 1992 Hillary Clinton was enjoying six-year tenure as a director of Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest company.Fellow board members and company executives say Mrs. Clinton used her position to champion personal causes, like the need for more women in management and a comprehensive environmental program.

5. Hillary Clinton became involved into a scandal about having a lesbian affair with her personal aide Huma Abedin. A new book by Edward Klein, ‘The Truth About Hillary’ is said to make some claims about Hillary Clinton having lesbian relationships.


HOT AND COLD

Hillary Clinton’s day in Wisconsin didn’t exactly go as planned with a snow storm striking, keeping her confined to the Milwaukee area. But she did make the best of the cold, nasty weather, hitting the popular local diner, Katie’s, and then managing to indulge her taste in hot peppers.

In fact, an impromptu stop at the El Rey supermarket on Cesar E. Chavez Drive turned out to be a pepper bonanza.

Inside, was a bodega patron’s dream, with aisles and aisles stocked with various different ethnic Hispanic foods, and a really impressive produce section complete with cactus and more kinds of pepper than we could identify.

Spotting an opportunity, Clinton grabbed a plastic bag, and picked a few peppers.

Her absurdly competent and energetic aide Huma Abedin offered one to a FOX reporter, who gamely took a few chomps. When we found him, his ears were pink and there was a sheen of sweat popping out across his forehead
