Hundreds of people, many with their daughters and granddaughters, waited in line in and outside Anderson's Bookshop in La Grange Friday night for Chelsea Clinton to sign a copy of her latest book.(snip)

"I like what Chelsea is doing to highlight women," said Evalee Dumas of Darien.

Dumas said the book shows the accomplishments of women and their diversity. The women profiled have different ethnicities, but all have something to give to the world.

"I have two granddaughters and four grandsons and I certainly am going to expose them to these books," she said.

Some people came because they like the Clintons.

"The first president I ever voted for was her father when I was 18," said Heather Eggerding of Brookfield, who brought her 10-year-old daughter, Eva, and another girl, Megan Gray. "And I took Eva with me when I voted for her mother. I've been a Clinton fan for a long time."

Many came for a combination of reasons.

"I voted for her mom," said Jenna Tassoni of La Grange, who admitted she was curious to see what Chelsea looks like in person.

(snip)

Anderson's presold between 600 and 650 tickets for the signing. Each ticket required the purchase of Clinton's book at Anderson's, and allowed up to four people to attend.

Clinton did not personalize any messages in the book, but she greeted each person warmly, occasionally asking questions.

"Katie Jopa of La Grange (left) says her daughter Amelia, 2, decked out in a "Girls will change the world" shirt, is getting tired as she waits for their turn to meet Chelsea Clinton."

Maybe cash drifting into CF accounts drying up means hitting the circuits one more time to keep the lights on?

Haven’t seen a guy step up to the plate to write a book about famous men. Women seem to be writing these days. Can’t complain if the works not getting done.

Dear God. You want a 5 year old to be married already? The morals have gone to pitts. This is not Alabama for goodness sake.

Wow! I never saw a photo of Rebecca Hubbell before.

Take that together with a photo of Bill's boy and you have a clear picture of what a sham the Clinton marriage was.

I think that one was debunked a few weeks ago, on a FR thread. That the pic on the right is NOT Rebecca Hubbell.

It’s not going to work like everything else they’ve tried. They are so desperate to weaken males because it makes things easier to take over.
