Someone who knows the MEDIApublishing biz, please tell me: How MUCH ACESS DOES VIACOM many copies of the book does S&S need to achieve in legislationsell (at an average markdown) in order to make back the $8 million advance?

"This guy gives new meaning to the word diversity when you apply it to the subject of lust. Give the poor man his due."

. . .well agree, for sure, with where you are coming from; and did give pause to my inclusive statement on Bill and Hill's lust for power. . .did think perhaps I should be more lust specific re Bill's self-indulgence. . .

but then thought really, it is still the same. . .his woman thing is just a sexist version of a power fix.

But thanks and I surely do not want it to appear that I have overlooked Bill's credentials as a totally self-fulfilling individual :^)

Thank you for posting this lovely picture of golden Ann...it helps reduce the nausea I was having over this post.

This one helps as well.

The legal implications here are different of course, but what is the moral difference between what Hillary perpetrates and Simon/Shuster in manipulating the public for personal profit and gain.

The only thing honest about Hillary's memoir, that would be the entire production, start to finish. . .from receipt of cash advance to Hill's royalties and anyone elses through distortions and outrightlies of PR and Marketing;. . .

. . . is that it has been a sham; a lie perpetrated against the public for personal gain.

Is there not at least a 'moral comparison' between this book; and the very least of what Martha Stewart is accused of? . . .and maybe what Sam Waxsal is guilty of?

I saw it while surfing. I hafta give her plenty of credit - she did get those legs crossed although she had to almost lay flat to do it.

She could get a gig on most comedy shows...

The error is that Rush said he was an aide to Hillary.

I'll give Rush the benefit of the doubt. He had only a few hours to prepare his radio show after coming off a golf trip to Ireland.

While describing the symptoms of his hearing loss, he mentioned that, at times, those that can't hear themselves sometimes don't know what they JUST said and have a tendency to constantly repeat themselves. Since his implant, I've noticed some speech changes and slight difficulty with a few callers. He may have read Coulter's piece a bit too fast or got confused with all the players involved. All in all, I think he does a great job. And because of this thread, he just may correct himself as he usually does...

I take it the same as some WWF promo. It's fake, everyone knows it's fake, but they have fun with it.

Consider these moral implications - a so-called wife has to write a book about their cheating so-called spouse in order to clear up why she accepts and allows the cheating. Meanwhile, there is no end in sight for the lying and infidelity. It's all done so they both can advance in power and status.

Doesn't really say a whole lot about either of them...

Rush should check his facts better.

Or get a job with the NY Times.

ROFLMBO!

There is also about 63 signed copies listed at eBay :) Including the one signed for Greg Packer

Only $355 to own a bit of history...

However, this is a MISTAKE. Hopefully he will correct it.

I think Rush is being clever in this. Maybe too clever. He is trying to plant the idea that this oft-quoted "man in the street" is a Clintoon plant, in order to discredit papers who do these silly "man-in-the-street" features in the first place.

Face it, how many times do you hear these morons quoted spouting the most ridiculous line of Clintonista BS, and scratch your head and wonder if the whole World has lost it's collective mind. Planting the seed of an idea that these interviews are a Clintoon put-up-job would go a long way to minimize the effectiveness of these stories.

"I take it the same as some WWF promo. It's fake, everyone knows it's fake, but they have fun with it."

. . .but we do not put Simon/Shuster promoting non-fiction in the same category of WWF entertainment; nor does the Media who hypes all this with great sincerety; and this show is not performed for our entertainment; but rather, only for their profit.

And yes, Hillary's 'profit motives' are political and in the end, her 'profit' is at the expense of Country; and there is nothing funny or entertaining about that!

No matter where we are in the news today; the 'sleaze factor' continues to grow around us, and Liberals and Liberalism seem to be the seeds and the fertilizer. . .and of course, there is Hillary and Bill, still doing their jobs as our 'National Gardeners' . . .

[weegee]

Poor thing. It's only going to get sick.

[adakotab]

You are right, he is not an aide to Hillary (at least as far aw we know).

[Calpernia]

That was the BEST pic yet!!!!

Ping of Pardons!

Sorry, I was wrong for saying Amazon was discounting to recoup losses. They may be...but I didn't realize it was standard policy so shortly after a release. I thought it was a few weeks. I stand corrected.
