Hillary Clinton's first week of book sales versus Sarah Palin's is not even close
The Washington Examiner ^ | 19 Jun 2014 | T. Becket Adams

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to tour the nation, promoting her new book, Hard Choices, and a possible 2016 candidacy.

Her book tour, filled with gaffes and missteps, has lagged and perhaps failed to live up to expectations. But that's not all. Her book, when compared to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political memoir, Going Rogue, has woefully underperformed in sales.

And it’s pretty cut and dried.

Palin's book, which was released the same year President Obama moved into the White House, sold approximately 496,000 copies in its first week of release, according to figures cited by the New York Times. That’s almost half a million copies in one week.

In contrast, Clinton, with all her softball interviews and a massive amount of free publicity from an excited press, sold only 100,000 copies from its Tuesday release through Saturday, Politico reported.

And because “explanatory journalism” is all the rage these days, here’s a chart to help you visualize Palin’s first week of book sales versus Clinton’s:

Most of her sales were bought by unions like her beard husband’s book.

Yep. Fewer of their people read. They don’t have to because teevee tells them all they need to know.

Most books that liberals write end up being bought by union heads and given away as gifts to their members. After that I would bet most of those books end up in a landfill or used for killing cockroaches

Well, she is almost politically dead and definitely morally broke.

Liberals can't read..they only feel. Hence, no need to waste their own welfare money on a book.

Few Liberals can read.

Those that do, cannot comprehend.

I don't understand it. She's may even be from another world. That should sell lots of books. Hillary, contact George Noory.

Hillary said to be capable of shape-shifting.

Hillary Clinton Says She Once Tried to Be Marine

[Hillary's] . . . blur of [claims of] different roles . . . "We sense that we aren't seeing the 'real' Hillary, and this makes us very nervous." . . . the nation has become accustomed to Mrs. Clinton's intriguing shape-shifting -- [including wanting to be a Marine in macho contrast to husband Bill Clinton]. [A] macho contrast to a President who [admittted] "loathing" the military.

Hillary’s book reviews on Amazon are the worst since Barrack Hussein Obama’s “Audacity of a Dope”.

2.2 out of 5 stars

5 star.....206
4 star.....19
3 star.....19
2 star.....29
1 star.....495

No doubt the evil Koch brothers bought half of Sarah’s books. Seems like not many people are busting their butts to get the book by the hildebeast.

Wait until the school year starts up in August.
I’m sure high schools nationwide will assign it as reading for “civics” class.

...and Palin’s book was ignored/dumped on by the media while Hillary’s was glorified.
