Source: After Disastrous Launch Of ‘Hard Choices’ Hillary To Write New Book
Daily Caller ^ | 7/14/14 | Edward Klein

Posted on 07/15/2014 9:45:01 AM PDT by jimbo123

By now, everyone knows that Hillary Clinton’s memoir Hard Choices is a disaster of such enormous political and financial proportions that it should have been titled “Heaven’s Gate” — a reference to the most infamous Hollywood box office bomb of all time.

So how are Bill and Hillary taking this depressing news?

And what, if anything, are they planning to do about it?

For an answer, I spoke to two sources — one in Bill’s inner circle, the other in Hillaryland (as Hillary’s court is called) — and although these two sources do not know each other, they confirmed the same story:

Believe it or not, Hillary is planning to write another book!

According to one of Bill’s closest advisers, the former president has been furious over the clumsy rollout of Hard Choices. He didn’t much care for the book in the first place and barely skimmed over it. But he had no idea that it was going to be such an embarrassment and a sales failure.

“Bill blames himself for not getting involved in the way the book was put together by a committee and how it was publicized,” this source said.

Hillary wipes out more a quarter's worth of Simon and Schuster's earnings and is on the way to be the cause of one of the biggest financial flops in publishing history. This is just too funny.

She oughta get Bill Ayers to write the book. I heard he does a pretty good job writing for other people.

A person couldn’t make this stuff up!

From the article & the part that really made me laugh:

“She doesn’t have any idea who would publish such a book,” this source added. “Maybe not Simon & Schuster. And she knows that since she’ll never make up her [$14 million] advance on Hard Choices, she’ll have to settle for a lot less money the next time around.
****************
“MAYBE not Simon & Schuster?? MAYBE NOT???? *laughing*

A book of blank white paper would sell better. At least that’s useful.

Isn’t there something in the Geneva Conventions about multiple Clinton books in the same calendar year?

As bad as people not buying the book, those who do only read to (on average) page 33. I read that last week and unfortunately can’t remember the source.

Simon and Schuster is going to lay off 10% of their employees before the end of the year because of Hillary’s book debacle! Do they want to cut another 10% of their employees two years from now when her next book flops?

Is that “write” a book or commission one?

What these people apparently don’t understand is that it’s been 22 years since Hillary Clinton showed up on the national stage, and very few people even give a sh!t what that tired-looking, worn-out hag has to say about anything anymore.

"He wants her to come off as a mother and soon-to-be grandmother, someone who has gained wisdom and has learned from her mistakes. The book has to tell the truth about their marriage, her health, his health, and her true relationship with Barack Obama while she was secretary of state."

It looks like Bill is encouraging her to try her hand at fiction this time around...

She aught to write it for S&S and let them just pay royalties after her other advance is paid down. That’s what normal people would do in good faith.

Hillary should write a book about Bill’s sex life called “Bent Choices”.

Who cares if the book sold or not? Most likely she’s at the top of the list for the Nobel Prize for literature.

I thought publisher’s paid the advance contingent on sales and could demand the money be returned if there weren’t sales to cover it.
