Clinton has called writing the book a "therapeutic" experience, but last month he admitted in New York that it had also been a difficult, stressful experience. "I feel like an inmate in a prison, who just got out on parole," Clinton said. Exactly where he belongs.

This is the old Jim Wright trick ~ write a book and then have your gumbahs buy it by the carload. That way you have what appear to be legitimate income receipts for what amounts to a bribe, or a payoff for prior services while in public office.
If I read the signs correctly he'll be at a bookstore near my home this week.

The same people who gave him and Hillary "gifts" when they left office have probably been solicited to buy cartons of his books to boost sales figures.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the club:
I would like to propose a small betting pool (the stakes to be bragging rights only, to keep it legal):
This pile of clinton book starts - June 22(?). OK. How long will it take for it to show in deep discount bins, with "70% off" sticker plastered all over it?
I submit 2 months.

"You go down the road of serialisation when youre trying to maximise exposure for an author," Bogaards argued. "In this instance, we are controlling the exposure for Clinton." Too bad your Cigar Man couldn't control his "exposure" in the Oval Office with Monica, Mr. Bogaards.

The Teamsters alone probably have purchased a few hundred thousand copies.
To: Liz
Well, with all of the advance orders, we can hope that Soros and DNC go broke buying them all..

They buy their own books to boost ratings, then resell them. Same stupid shell game he played with economics while he occupied the White House.

Bill Clintons memoirs are to become the bestselling political book in American publishing history.
Clinton, you are going to have to do it without my help.

Maybe this CRIMINAL POS can start paying Americans back some of the costs for investigating his LIES. It would be some kind of justice for his enablers (buyers of his book) to take the financial hit.
It would be a pittance for the costs this one-man crime spree, has inflicted on this nation.

Part of the trick here is that Billzo has agreed to NOT put stuff in the book harmful to the folks who have to buy all the copies.
They will have to come across now or a later printing will have some interesting revisions.
Be a good idea to see if later printings are different?

Also the same tactic used by Scientologists to keep "Dianetics" at the top of the best-seller list.
I have yet to see a copy of that book anywhere but in a bookstore.

I happen to be in Borders today picking up," Reagan, In His Own Words."
While there I took the opportunity to do some restacking of books. I placed some of Michael Moores books in the Fiction Section.

It's probably for stocking their many 'pit stops' along the way; making sure there's always paper.

Blockbuster had the Reagan movie (the one with James Brolin that aired on showtime) on display this weekend, they won't find that DVD for a while.

Why toss pie at a guy who is overweight and pre-diabetic?
Besides, he has these Secret Service guards (as do all former Presidents). No sense messing with them.
