Apparently Hillary Clinton claims that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the guy that climbed Mt. Everest. It says so in Bill's new book, on page 870. That's pretty damn cool...except...
"Edmund Hillary reached the top of Everest in 1953. Hillary Rodham was born in 1947, when Sir Edmund was an obscure New Zealand beekeeper and an unlikely inspiration for two young parents in the Chicago suburbs (WSJ 6/25)."
Very tough job: Fact checker for Bill Clinton's book.
