Winning bid was $13,100! Gotta love it!

This is almost as good as when Rush put Harry Reid's letter on eBay. That one fetched $2.1 million.

“How do you write over 500 pages about NOTHING?”

That’s Hillary’s short book - her long book will be titled something like “My Catalog of Bill’s Infidelities, and What I Did to Bury Them (Pun Intended)”.

Of course she sent each GOP candidate a copy of her so-called book.

There are millions of copies of that work of fiction in warehouses.....they have to get rid of them somehow.

What Hillary said:
Like other sensitive government agencies the State Department was frequently target and increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts. When we first arrived at State, these attempts were similar to the fraudulent emails many Americans experience at home on their personal computers. The often sloppy early attempts to penetrate our secure systems were easy to spot. But by 2012, the sophistication and fluency had advanced considerably, with the attackers impersonating State Department officials in an attempt to dupe their colleagues into opening legitimate looking attachments.

When we traveled to sensitive places like Russia, we often received warnings from the Department security officials to leave our BlackBerries, laptops—anything that communicated with the outside world—on the plane, with their batteries removed to prevent foreign intelligence services from compromising them. Even in friendly settings we conducted business under strict security precautions, taking care where and how we read secret material and used our technology. One means of protecting material was to read it inside an opaque tent in a hotel room. In less well equipped settings we were told to improvise by reading sensitive material with a blanket over our head. I felt like I was 10 years old again, reading covertly by flashlight under the covers after bedtime. On more than one occasion I was cautioned not to speak freely in my own hotel room.

And it wasn't just US government agencies and officials who were targets. American companies were also in the crosshairs. I fielded calls from frustrated CEOs complaining about aggressive theft of an intellectual property and trade secrets, even breaches of their home computers. To better focus our efforts against this increasingly serious threat, I appointed the Department’s first Coordinator for Cyber Issues in February 2011.

As you can see from the excerpt, the author of Hard Choices was at pains to make clear that she was not naïve WRT the security implications of classified information or of her use of a private server in lieu of the standard system.

I suspect that questions about the implications of this section of Hard Choices would not be particularly congenial to Mrs. Clinton . . .

There is no way that I will ever vote for Carson, but that bit was quite funny.
