Hillary's maiden name in distress on presidential Web site
(http://www.suntimes.com/news/elections/365101,CST-NWS-hill01.article)

May 1, 2007



ALBANY, N.Y. -- While she is known to millions simply as ''Hillary,'' New York's junior senator is having something of an identity crisis in her official life.
When it comes to running for president, she is ''Hillary Clinton,'' according to her campaign Web site. But when it comes to her official Senate releases, she is still ''Hillary Rodham Clinton.''
The Clinton camp appeared to be at a loss to come up with an explanation when the Albany Times Union newspaper asked about it.
''I haven't, I haven't,'' Clinton said with laugh when asked about her apparent name change. A strategic decision? Spokesman Howard Wolfson told the paper: ''That's a fair question, but there's no plan behind it.''
The name game has been going on for some time in Clinton's world.
When Hillary Rodham married Bill Clinton in 1975, she kept using her maiden name. But, in the wake of his loss in a re-election race for governor, she began using ''Hillary Clinton.'' He won back the governorship. ''Hillary Rodham Clinton'' became the standard in 1993 as the Clintons moved into the White House. AP Copyright 2006 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Didn't Rush Limbaugh once referred to her as Hillary "Rodman" Clinton, after basketball's bad boy, Dennis Rodman?

Could be, Highway.

All I know is that this is such a small thing, I hardly see why it is worthy to report. Still I thought to share it because the fact that it IS news is to me more newsworthy than the story itself.

Whatever happened to Shakespeare's wisdom? "A rose by any other name does smell as sweet. "
