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 1885, 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 of
Professional Image adjusters 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 rail road. Beginning in 1883, he
devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility,
finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the rail road. In 1887,
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 honour when the platform upon which
he was standing collapsed.'
And THAT is how it's done, folks!
