Hillary Clinton Plays Basketball?

"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton loves to tell whoppers.

Her latest: she has played "pickup basketball.”

"Noting that Americans like their president to be active in sports, Hillary, at first blush, doesn’t seem to pass the grade."

"Voters expect their presidents to throw out the first pitch; they are used to George W. Bush clearing brush, Bill Clinton playing golf, George H.W. Bush racing speedboats, and Ronald Reagan riding horseback.”

"But her "pickup basketball” story appears to be a feeble effort to play catch up with Obama’s athleticism. He does play basketball, along with vigorous and frequent workouts at the gym."

"For sure, Hillary has a propensity to make things up when she gets into a political bind.

Among Hillary’s more hilarious claims:

# She was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. who climbed Mount Everest.

# She was a Yankees fan when she lived in Chicago.

# She told upstate New Yorkers she had been a "duck hunter.”

# She claimed on Sept. 11 daughter Chelsea was jogging around the World Trade Center."
