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."

Tnanks for the laugh!
Semi-seriously, is there any way to contact Simon and Schuster, as a "concerned" shareholder, and ask how they intend to recoup these devastating losses to the good people who invested with them? Hm? Any ideas, freepers?

So Albore wouldn't lower himself to even say good morning to the man who carried the football. Much enraging information in this book.

A court should declare this to be a campaign contribution, not a book advance.

Mrs. Clinton's action (or inaction) makes sense and is not a surprise. What is Simon and Schuster doing here, potentially embarassing Mrs. Clinton?
Are they off the reservation? Have the Clintonistas reached the tipping point? Are they tired of being in a quagmire? Are the American people providing unexpected resistance?
Or is this just a publicity stunt by S&S?

This is so funny she can't tell the truth cause it will out her as a conniving liar, if she lies she will be exposed, but then we know she already has been exposed in the real world.

"Are we surprised??"Maybe.
Only if people [here] cannot tell that this is a ruse designed to garner attention to a $2.5+ x 106 book about due for release.
A book due from one of America's more forgetable figures which people have long since forgotten was being written; &, now are finding (upon their being conveniently reminded) they also don't care.
Nothing like a little *hyped* controversy, I always say.
...to overcome the *quagmire* of disinterest & profound apathy.

LOL!

Actually, the ghostwriter Nicholas DeGenova has it and he and the book are both in hiding, no one knows where! (In Mogadishu?)
