A Crash Course in Spin-Doctoring

>

> 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 1883,

> 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 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 in 1887 to resume his

> dealings with the railroad. Subsequently, 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 on which he was standing collapsed.'

> And that is how it's done, folks!
