1. She Was Infamously Involved In "Wackygate"... When She Was Filmed Holding An Imaginary Conversation With Her Hero Eleanor Roosevelt
"Wackygate" is one of the lesser-known White House political "scandals" - although it is certainly up there among the most bizarre. Supposedly while her husband Bill was President, Hillary Clinton would regularly "communicate" with former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt - who was married to President Franklin D Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt died in November 1962 but, as one of the most-impressive and well-respected First Ladies in history, Hillary Clinton decided she wanted to communicate with her. A recording supposedly exists of Clinton communicating with Eleanor Roosevelt in the White House, while Bill later admitted she did this on a regular basis. It is also believed Hillary Clinton spoke with former Indian independence-movement leader Mahatma Gandhi too.
