They can probably write it off as a loss and not lose anything.

Rush was talking about this today. Thinks she is waiting to see how the war goes so she can get her "support" in print. Did this publisher REALLY expect a book?

If she titles the book "Hillary's Guide to Ethical Theory", it will not take long to write.
To: Puppage
Other title suggestions (I promise, I haven't looked at the previous thread on the topic):
- Sex, Lies, and FBI Files
- Sex, Lies, and Linda Tripp's Tapes

If I were managing this property, I would be very interested in getting as much back from Hillary as possible and simply walking away from the project. The world has changed dramatically since the contract was signed and the property is no longer worth what it once was.

I thought she was writing a sequal to "It takes a Village" and the new book is going to be "How the Village Got Taken"

Hillary will publish her book at the time it best supports her run for the presidency. Now is not the right time.

I bet she spins it, lies it, then Clintonizes it and she will come out smelling like a Liberal. Any takers??????

They can probably write it off as a loss and not lose anything. If you pay Hillary 2.5 million in cash and then have to write it off, you have a loss that offsets 2.5 million in profit. If tax rates are 30%, you avoid $750,000 in taxes. So are still out $1.75 million after the write-off.
If you are going to have an expense, it's better to be a write off because it only costs you 70% on the dollar after the tax savings rather than 100%. But it's always better not to have the expense in the first place and have to pay the taxes.

But it's always better not to have the expense in the first place and have to pay the taxes.The money paid to Hillary was not an expense, it was an investment & a payoff rolled into one. A payoff for favors done by X-42 and an investmest for future favors from (s)Hill.
I suspect, by the time this has played out, the executives who decided to front this money for Hillary will have gotten their investment back tenfold or more.

In other news. When the Marines stormed the palace in Baghdad this morning the furniture was missing. See if Hillary knows where it might be.
