LawFuel – “Briefcase” Blog – The death of Sir Edmund Hillary closes a chapter in a book on good humoured, gruff kiwi adventurers that’s almost certainly gone for good. The famous man touched many lives, like the 54 year old Malaysian lawyer named Edmund Hilary Tensing Ponniah by his admiring father and who met Sir Ed in 1999.
And don’t forget the lawyer from that famous Arkansas Rose Law Firm who told Sir Ed the famous porkie about being named after him. The fact that a kiwi hero like Sir Ed could trigger such overweening, no-lies-barred bull in order to facilitate a climb back into the Lincoln bedroom is as disgraceful as any other Clinton misdeed.
