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."

Simon & Schuster needs to cool its jets. They need to be understanding of how long it takes to rewrite history and the truth and reform them into lies for Hillary!'s own benefit.
To: Betteboop
Hillary's "to do" list as of Monday.........
Comment on fire at publisher's house(how horrible, and actually wait until the fire is going before commenting)
Kill publishers dog.
Contact publisher and demand another advance. This will never be deemed a credible scenario and thus will work perfectly.
Announce that despite the publishers personal tax problems, you still remain good friends.
Lunch.......Eat the still beating hearts of children(healthy ones)
Circulate a rumor to the publisher's board of directors that regime change is coming.
Hire ghost writer(again) and get her working and figure out how to not pay her a dime (again).
Dye roots, and have horns filed down.
Watch a republican snuff film.
Nap, dream of sheep. Kill them all with demonic claws. Awake refreshed.
Phone Chelsea. Ask her for another younger blood transfusion. Offer to let her boyfriend live or something.
Dine on puppies.
Find crack whore, satisfy self, sleep like a succubus.

Hillary's manuscript is delayed because Baghdad Bob, her ghost writer, had an unexpected emergency.

You can bet she is feverishly scrabling chapters on:
1. How she has always been a hawk, strong on national defense, especially when it comes to the war on terrorism, Iraq, etc. She will explain her actions at Yale defending the Black Panthers, etc. to fit this new reality.
2. She really argued with Bill about those unforgiveable pardons he handed out at the end of his administration to terrorists, mafioso, etc.
3. In retrospect, those Rose Law Firm billing records weren't really lost. She just forgot about that closet in the living quarters... Gotta write up those details.
4. Oh, yeah, those weren't "boo's" at that Madison Square Garden gathering to celebrate the hero's of 9-11... those were "moose-calls" acknowledging Hillary's defense of the environment and all the moose threatened in the Adirondaks due to acid rain... Yeah... that's the ticket!

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. The Clinton's have always had this very strong sense of entitlement ... I'm sure Hillary felt the cash advance was nothing more than another gift from her liberal pals in the publishing business.

Let's say it straight....
Hillary rips off publisher...She can't find her notes and records. Accomplices refuse to cooperate in this crime called authorship.
Ghost writer is nowhere to be found..!!
To: Ol' Sox
Yes, the title should be "Hillary's Stinkin Thinkin". Gives a heads up on the contents incase some are not really aware.

This whole thing sounds like a publicity stunt. Hillary never likes to be caught off her mark, so what better way to send a message to her "FEDAYEEN" gang to pump up orders.
This woman is one calculating itch and very little happens around her that she doesn't control. These days she can control that hubby more than ever, he will do what she says.
Hillary's new book will be out and it will be about "WHAT BILL AND AMERICA OWES HER.
To: Betteboop
how bout "The Bridge Back to The Twentieth Century".

"and there is no title"
May I suggest,
SUCKERS!

There're no different than everybody else, there're getting screwed also. What a big surprize." Hillary screws everybody, except her husband, Bill. Go figure.

Particularly when the fool pays it to someone named Clinton!
As an afterthought, is there a market for her book?
