geez, she's got her own Controversies page, with 22 items, and she can't even get her NAME right.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillary_Rodham_Clinton_controversies#Origin_of_the_name_Hillary

"Origin of the name Hillary
During an April 1995 visit to Tibet, Hillary Clinton met New Zealand's Sir Edmund Hillary, co-first-climber of Mount Everest. Clinton remarked that her mother, Dorothy Emma Howell Rodham, had told her that she was named after the famous climber. "It had two L's, which is how she thought she was supposed to spell Hillary," Clinton said at the Tibet meeting. "So when I was born, she called me Hillary, and she always told me it's because of Sir Edmund Hillary." [31]

However, the Everest climb did not take place until 1953, more than five years after Clinton was born. Clinton opponents have used the discrepancy as evidence towards the charge that she is prone to fabrications. [32] Clinton said that her mother read about beekeeper-turned-mountaineer Edmund Hillary in a publication while pregnant in 1947 and liked the name and thus used the two L's form. Some searches of prominent U.S. publications show no publicity given to Edmund Hillary before the Everest climb, so it is unlikely that Dorothy Rodham (who has not publicly spoken about the issue) would have heard of him. Furthermore, Hillary with two L's was not that unusual a spelling at the time. Snopes.com concluded that Hillary Clinton probably made up the naming story as "a little white lie concocted for a special occasion." [33] Finally, in October 2006, a spokeswoman for Senator Clinton's re-election campaign explained that she was not in fact named after the mountain climber, stating rather that "It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add." [34]

And GW Bush didn't believe in "nation building".

All politicians lie. It's their job.

Hillary was lying long before she became a politician.

Everyone lies, especially to ramp up their own self importance and to make themselves look better to others.
Why should she or any other politician be any different?
And why single her out for excess treatment on top of any other?
