In this telling of the Alaska fish story, Hillary says she was fired almost immediately.

But on the Letterman show, Hillary fondly recalled her 1969 summer job as her “favorite summer job of all time.”

Anyway, I think the story would be a lot more interesting if Hillary added that she had landed in Alaska under sniper fire.

Via Business Insider:

Before heading to Yale, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she was fired from her brief stint at a salmon cannery in Valdez, Alaska.

The former New York Senator recounted on the “Today” show…that after graduating from Wellesley College, she and some friends worked their way across Alaska washing dishes, and she eventually wound up working in a fishery scooping out salmon guts.

“I was given a spoon and some boots and I was told to take out the insides of the salmon,” she said.

Clinton didn’t last long in that role, however, noting that the Japanese workers who were taking out the caviar yelled at her for working too slowly. “So they literally kicked me out of that job,” Clinton said….

    What’s really fishy is how staged that question was. And how prepared her reply is. She’s not personable enough to tell that story on the fly. Is her attempt to be more “like-able” to act like a blond ding bat? If so, she’s doing a good job.
    And those poor people in the audience. Glazed looks on the face all. Were they given a chance of the “NYC Sewer Tour” or the Hillary Town Hall?
    Sign me up for the sewers please!

    What kind of “chill pills” are they talking about in that meltdown article?

    I wonder, when she was disemboweling those fish. Did she just plunge the knife straight in, or did she use more of a “corkscrew” technique?

    And … she also was unable to enlist in the United States Marine Corps, despite desperately trying to convince recruiters she was the Gung-Ho Semper-Fi-Do-Or-Die real deal, back in the day. No, that’s a True story — read lie — from the Hildebeast’s own curling lips. I believe this whopper was let fly back during the Bimbo Eruption Era, years before the corkscrew sniper fire landing at the Battle of BULL Run….

    And how about THIS for a real firing story, Hillary — Jerry Zeifman, lifelong Democrat, fired Hillary from the House Judiciary Watergate committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

    She’s an iconic liberal, skin to marrow.

    Hillary’s other version of this story has her saying she complained to the supervisor that the fish were rotten and he told her to mind her own business and then the next morning, the temporary processing tent business was gone. Has anyone ever tried to track down her college friends on the trip to verify? Rhetorical question.

    In looking up Hillary’s commencement address, the accounts show that she spoke after Sen. Ed Brooke, Republican Mass., the first elected Black Senator, and she didn’t like something he said so she took him to task adding impromptu remarks to her planned speech. Amazing, the first thing she did following college, on graduation day, was attack a Black Republican. Didn’t realize liberals have been doing that for so long.

    Anyway, as part of her address, she read a classmate’s poem. The lines from the poem that were viewed as then being attached to Sen. Brooke were; “The hollow men of anger and bitterness…must be left to a bygone age.” Poem ends thus: “…to practice with all the skill of our being
    The art of making possible.”

    And now Hillary, you are a Hollow woman of anger and bitterness being left to a bygone age with no practice time left to make you possible. Karma karma karma chameleon, Buh bye.
