"Recruiters... worked her hotel lobby, attempting to get people to join the line."

Y'know... I like to make jokes that the Left can only get the crowds via Castro-style "bus rides and sandwiches", but this is getting ridiculous.

Clinton's book isn't flying off local shelves

The buzz is there -- and it's No. 1 on Amazon -- but area stores stay calm.

At the Sacramento store, Norma Valencia bypassed Clinton for a book on personal finance. She had been in Manhattan Monday on business when people began lining up at the other Barnes & Noble, she said.

"The display went all the way around the block," she said.

Recruiters, she said, worked her hotel lobby, attempting to get people to join the line.

"I just wasn't interested," said Valencia, who also had to catch a plane. A former Clinton supporter, she wouldn't vote for him again, she said. Or read his book.

Add this to Hitchens's F-9/11 review and the Slimes' layoffs (among other happy morsels) and anyone want to join me in calling June "Schadenfreude Month"?

Of course the media will lie to help klintoon sell "books"
Just like they lie about Hanoi Kerry

Why do the TV and Cable Newsrooms
hide Hanoi Kerry's past?

"There was so much hype I don't think anyone can live up to that," she said.


Gee, I wonder where all the hype came from?

[Chode]

As STOOOPID as anybody would have to be to actually buy this book, they would have to be TWICE as stooopid to buy it in a store for $37.00 when they are almost giving them away at amazon.

[AnnaZ]

...and you just thought of that, when?

Oh, I've thought about it, and read about it, and acknowledged it. However it must really be of epic proportions.

 

They are anything but farcical, though, more like a deadly plague. They are so devious, in their attempt to maintain themselves in the limelight...even though most of us want them to walk into the Atlantic...

Oh, they're devious, all right. And now, fortunately, they're exposed, daily. Their worst attributes are now heralded from coast to coast.

 

And by farcical I meant that this "recruiting" thing sounds like a scene from a FReeper fantasy film -- yet it really happened. That's how pathetic the other side really truly is, why its end goal is always fascism... because they can only get true fools to volunteer.

All hype, no substance. Kind of like his presidency.

Mysoginist Life.......By Slick Willy Bubbafucco !

Buy two and get a pine tree air freshener and a bag of pork rinds thrown in for free !

Stay Safe !

The book, which could crush a small mammal, reads like "being locked in a small room with a very gregarious man who insists on reading his entire appointment book, day by day, beginning in 1946," according to an Associated Press review.

The best review I have read yet! LOL!

[Billthedrill]

Well, it's a 957-page brick with a $35 price-tag and all the literary transcendance of the ingredients list on the "Pot Meat" can, so whaddya want? I do get a kick out of the reviews, though - everybody else on the staff gets to hype it and go home, but the reviewer has to actually read the thing. You can sort of tell which ones got all the way through it - they're the ones making up the nastiest, most creative descriptions.

[AnnaZ]

Just in case you're not on my ping list... Enjoy!

[glock rocks]

LOL... and a die-cast Ranchero

[lodwick]

No one was buying either the book or the recording at Sam's Club today...even at nineteen bucks.

[Squantos]

I was in the B'n N the other day and someone ... (:o) ...had added the word "sucks" to My Life............:o)

Ahhhh the magic of a Sharpe Marker !

Stay safe !

>>I think I will just turn of the TV for a while.<<

I did that in April of 1997. I haven't gone back and it has CHANGED MY LIFE!

Take the plunge!

[vikingchick]

People can't buy the book because Kenneth Starr has been running from bookstore to bookstore blocking the doorway.

[Hegemony Cricket]

I'm not so sure about the wisdom of eating rat food - and if the lunch box contains Kool-Aid, ya better run while you still can!

Please cease and desist with the revisionist history. He had an El Camino with the astro-turf bed option.

Us Ford owners have enough problems...lol.

[Madame Dufarge]

In the book business, long shelf life in the pricier hardcover version is the gold standard. Knickerbocker believes the magic touch runs in the family: "Hillary's did sell and sell in hardcover."

Well, Hillary's a more accomplished grifter, dont'cha know.

If Bill just remembers to pass out bags of weed and nicely printed copies of the Communist Manifesto also, he just might keep up.

Hi Anna - have you seen Drudge - he's listed several headlines indicating Bubba's book is not doing as well as his media friends have tried to make us believe.

But this going into a hotel lobby and soliciting people to get in line is pathetic.

[cyn]

Hi, Pegita -- I'm remembering your clinton prayer -- from your lips to God's ear, this is a start. I meant to post that request (it SO fits this discussion!) here instead of there so AnnaZ can see it.

Being a Chevy guy, I always called them El CantMakeUpMyMindos.
