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."

Suckers?- they knew they would get nothing from her.
Why are they complaining now is the big question,
they could have easily gone along with the dream--
(she's to busy to write,she's been traumitized by 9-11)
Probably didn't get what they really paid Hill/billy for.

So, Hitlery has now hired Batty "Baghdad" Bob as her latest spokesman.

This book will be a waste of tree -- it may challenge Al Gore's books for space in the remainder bins.
Where are the tree-huggers when we really need them?
Maybe we need to get a bunch of freepers to climb some trees and refuse to come down until we are promised that the trees won't be used to produce this book. Never happen, though -- many of us have jobs to do or kids to take care of.

Here's a true sycophant, it hasn't been written yet, but: "the writing is wonderful, touching, and will lift Hillary to a new level of respect.""
I feel sick now....

There is only one logical reason for this. She signed the book deal before 9-11, the politcal landscape has drastically changed- i.e. the normal Clinton rhetoric will not fly now. Clintons don't write anything unless it serves them politically. My guess she is waiting to see if the climate will change back to a more befitting climate.

I have three words for S&S:
CASH ON DELIVERY!Someone at S&S actually thought a Clinton was going to be true to their word? She has been so occupied with her racist filibustering of Miguel Estrada, and critcizing the President.

There're no different than everybody else, there're getting screwed also.
What a big surprize.

Her election to the US Senate is a license to steal. Her prior record was a mere prolog.

Losses from the enablers at Simon & Schuster will be distributed to the stockholders. Why ANGST from a corporate loan that doesn't have to be repaid anyway?

...NO MANUSCRIPT, NO TITLE........and in the case of Hillary Clinton, no brains.
Anyone who has closely studied this marxist lunatic as she emotes realizes that she is mindless. The same goes for her "super intelligent" nominal husband. They drone on and on ad nauseum until only the zombie Clintonites hang around for the full dosage of pap.
