When i read about Watergate, and I have, for ten years. I have not heard HIlary's name mentioned, that is untill the above post.
Methinks had she been important to the case, her name would have popped up before. I suspect this is overinflating her worth after she has become famous. WHy is here name not mentioned in any books about Watergate? Any movies? Was she a gloried research asistanct? What did she do on the case? I think its a bit overblown.

Including conservatives who basically blame her for framing nixon. While she was only 26 at the time, it wasn't hard to find several references, including the one I quoted, saying that the Watergate investigation launched her career.
It's sad that you can't admit that you are wrong. You said she got her lawyer job because Bill Clinton was governor. In fact, she wasn't even married to Bill yet, and his governorship was years away.
We all make mistakes, you made a fairly serious factual error. Admit it. It's right there in your post. You said:

Like Nixon, Hillary began her career by targeting a public figure: Nixon himself. Hillary's involvement in Watergate launched her career, but it was her marriage to Bill Clinton in 1975 that truly ensured an upward trend. Bill was elected Arkansas attorney general in 1976 and governor of Arkansas in 1978. Meanwhile, Hillary was appointed by Jimmy Carter to the board of the Legal Services Corp. in 1978.

It's really sad to see someone in such a state of denial that they can't even admit that they made a simple mistake.
