Less than a month after its official release date of June 10, Hillary Clinton's book, "Hard Choices," has today plunged below the Amazon Top 100 list to a humbling #102 as of this writing. Over at Simon & Schuster, the book publisher who paid Hillary a big campaign contribution in the form of a whopping $14 million advance, there is now a lot of angry finger pointing according to the New York Post's Page Six.

Just as humbling is the news that Hillary's book has been replaced at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list by Edward Klein's "Blood Feud" which is highly critical of her. To make this a trifecta of bad news for her, comes a report on a new metric, the Hawking Index, which shows that the few people who actually attempt to read "Hard Choices," don't make it past page 33.

Hillary's book flop is going to wipe out ONE FULL QUARTER of Simon and Schuster's earnings. Late September layoffs on the horizon at S&S...

Todd Akin’s book will stay in the top for longer than Hilary.

"the few people who actually attempt to read "Hard Choices," don't make it past page 33."

NOT a "Hard Choice" at all apparently!

My heart bleeds for Benghazi Hillary—The Hillary. Please go away worthless one. Please.

Then why is it still selling at Costco?

[jimbo123]

It will be fun to see when Simon and Schuster is going to write off Hillary’s book.

If they write if off in June, the layoffs will be in September.

If they write it off in September, they layoffs will be just in time for Christmas.

So, is that book about how to cleanse your colon using green methods ahead of Hillary’s book on the best seller list???

[kingattax]

how could something that has lower sales than a bag of hamster crap make it to #1 on the NYT bestseller list ?

[kingattax]

the beast prefers to be called by her new name “Hillghazi”

Bloody Hilly leads her Dem-O-crats!
Bloody Hilly leads her Dem-O-crats!
Bloody Hilly leads her Dem-O-crats,
Now ain’t that to damn bad?!

All the bookstores are still stuffed to the gills with these books. Whatever shall they do?

2 for 1 specials? Buy 2 other books, get hers for free?

[Fungi]

Good one! Will keep it in mind. Thank you.

[BulletBobCo]

To her, what difference does it make.....she got her money.

[Seaplaner]

No, it will not.

"How could something that has lower sales than a bag of hamster crap make it to #1 on the NYT bestseller list ?"

This is just a wild assed guess, but I'm going with the assumption that the NYT best seller metric might not be 100% unbiased...

They get to send the unsold books back to the publisher.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Those trees. All those poor trees. Wasted. Or was it recycled toilet paper?

[enraged]

I saw it for 30% off today at the book store. They had piles of them.
