5 Articles On Hillary Clinton From 1969

I found this on BuzzFeed and thought that it was interesting.

by Andrew Kaczynski
June 24, 2014

Then 21, Hillary Rodham made national news in 1969 when speaking at her college commencement, she delivered a dramatic rebuke to Sen. Edward Brooke, the main commencement speaker. Clinton suggested the Republican senator was out of touch with her generation.

The article generated a healthy amount of national news and appearances on talk shows and nightly news.

than the scumbags in office now are. He'd have switched parties about the time we all saw what Reaganomics was doing and he wouldn't have looked back.

He lost in 1980 to Paul Tsongas only because of the combination of a messy divorce and flying allegations that were never proven and the fact that Tsongas was a typical Yankee Democrat.

I had voted for him in 1974 because the Democrats dug up some conservative stiff who didn't like uppity women getting abortions when they needed them.

The only thing I knew about him is that he had an affair with Barbara Walters.
