Hillary Clinton’s expert PR

Hi all,
This was a really cool message forwarded to be by my Journalism professor. Check it out :) Its really funny! Enjoy!

 A professional genealogical researcher discovered that Hillary Clinton’s great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. His only known photograph shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is the 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.”

This was sent to Hillary Clinton. However, her staff of image consultants got their hands on it and decided they could use it for their own purposes: they cropped Remus’s picture and edited it with image processing software so all that’s seen is his face.They then wrote the following biographical sketch:

“Remus Rodham was a well-known cowboy in the Montana Territory in the late 19th century. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. 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 railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency.
