Hat Tip: Delusional Duck

Don Surber has the story…

Hillary to celebrate Lyndon Baines Johnson Day instead.

[…]

But she did get booed in New York as she spoke at a birthday celebration for the slain civil rights leader, reported Fox News, the most trusted name in TV news…

It’s Hillary “Goldwater Girl” Clinton who has a dream – which includes reinventing history, including her own. Of course, there are two sides to the story. And I’m sure you are surprised that the “The Caucus (for Clinton)” blog on the New York Times web site has another take on the matter.

PS:

Sisu has the scoop the Goldwater Girl history and more: “Chatty Hillary”:

Goldwater Girl Hillary Rodham was the crème de la crème, smarter and savvier sis of two also-ran brothers from a wealthy Chicago suburban family. Hillary! quit the campus Republican party and got religion at Wellesley College, where she famously studied at Saul [ends justify the means] Alinsky's knee.

Her thesis, written under his tutelage, was suppressed by Wellesley at her request, and Alinsky is totally absent from her Wikipedia entry. Make of that what you will.

Above, in the flower of her youthful beauty (no attribution) left and right as a Wellesley senior in 1969, when her graduation speech made Time mag as she declared "We're searching for a more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living." Aren't we all? Then came Yale Law School and her destiny, Slick WIlly. Immediate, ecstatic and penetrating, indeed.
