HILLARY CLINTON BOOK PAST DUE, PUBLISHER'S ANGST OVER NO MANUSCRIPT, NO TITLE; SENATOR TOOK LARGEST ADVANCE IN HISTORY
Executives at publishing powerhouse SIMON AND SCHUSTER are dismayed over Hillary Clinton's failure to turn in a completed manuscript for her book, due out in August, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The senator of the Empire State has already received a $2.85 million cash advance on her memoirs, from a total deal valued at more than $8 million.

"We must be off to the printer next month, but the manuscript isn't in yet!" said one SIMON AND SCHUSTER source last week. "Advance sales are lagging. And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market."
One top source says the situation has not reached a legal concern, rather it is being described as an "annoyance."
The former first lady signed the deal before the 9/11 terror attacks.
One Clinton intimate explains: "In all fairness, she has been preoccupied with serving New York during these challenging times... [But] the writing is wonderful, touching, and will lift Hillary to a new level of respect."

She's not preoccupied with "serving New York;" she is preoccupied with raising dough and lots of it. That is simply the only reason she ran for the senate. She has absolutely no chance for the presidency. My opinion.

So they didn't have to upfront the whole eight million...? The way she spends money, that advance is long gone. Now she's having to call on Bill for funds...

No, we're not surprised, she'd love for the book's release to coincide with the kickoff of her Presidential campaign.
To: Betteboop
Hahaha! Hey Simon and Schuster, maybe you should give her another 8 million, then the book will be really, really good.
I'm sure you can count on Terry McAuliffe to buy three or four million copies!
Suckers! Put some ice on it!

There's no hurry. No one wants to read it.

...said one SIMON AND SCHUSTER source last week. "Advance sales are lagging. And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market." Sounds like they could use our help! Anyone have a title for Hillary!'s book? heheh...

I'm shocked! Shocked!
To: Betteboop
And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market." "Mein Kamph" and "The Communist Manifesto" were already taken.
To: Betteboop
How about: "It Takes an Incredible, Very Selfish, Valueless Bitch"?
No one will read it in any event, but a good title would still be nice to have.
To: Betteboop
Now they have enough material for a modern day chapter,..The Memoirs Fraud.
