Let me see, there was Whitewater and Gennifer Flowers. Vince Foster and health care reform. Monica, no one could forget that. And, oh yes, her vote on the Iraq war. Until last week, I thought I had a handle on all the scandals d'Hillary, but it appears there's another. One that I myself, could be found guilty of.
It's her name. She's Hillary Clinton of course. But she's previously gone by Hillary Rodham. Sometimes referred to as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Even Hillary will do. Fasten your seat belts friends.
I first came across the name issue in a New Yorker review of two upcoming biographies of Senator Clinton. One called A Woman in Charge by Carl Berstein of the Washington Post and the second called Her Way: The Hopes and Ambitions of Hillary Rodham Clinton by NY Times reporters, Jeff Gerth and Don Van Natta Jr. According to the article, the changes to Hillary's name over the years is an issue of character.
