Bill and Hillary have done it again.
They have each scammed millions from their gullible, liberal – and hopelessly naïve – publishers.
As you may recall, Hillary scored first right after winning her U.S. Senate seat two years ago. She signed a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster that included a whopping $8 million advance. And, in typical Clinton fashion, she signed it before being sworn into office, thus skirting Senate ethics rules.
She then used her first payment – $2.1 million – to buy her Washington, D.C., house – where she entertains and raises millions for her fellow Democrats. And, of course, this is all part of the Clinton Master Plan: to elect Hillary in 2008 and thus allow Bill to live again in the White House and to run the government behind the scenes.
Meanwhile the clock began ticking on actually writing the book. And, again in typical Clinton fashion, Hillary has repeatedly missed her deadlines. And – again no surprise – she has reneged on her promise to spill the beans on the details the book-reading and book-buying public want to read: l'Affair Monica, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers and all the rest of the Clinton scandals.
Simon & Schuster is said to be furious over her refusal to include the material that will sell the book and earn back the huge advance they contractually agreed to.
Meanwhile, over at Random House, they shelled out $12 million to Bill Clinton for his memoirs. And guess what? He hasn't written any of it yet.
Word is that he can't write his memoir until Hillary writes hers because they have to then square their stories!
Isn't this typical Clintonism?
They are treating their books like works of fiction.
And they are treating their two publishers as they have always treated their business partners, friends, staff and constituents. In each case, the Grifter Clintons scam, steal, rip off – and then move on to the next unsuspecting sucker.
And the founder of the Counter Clinton Library, Dick Erickson, said, "What fools would pay $20 million for the memoirs of two people who can never ‘recall’ anything and who always ‘lose’ or ‘misplace’ key files and documents?"

You know, I wish LeBoutillier would just shut the hell up, he's such an embarrassment.I concur. The epitome of lame.
That will be the cold day in you know where when that happens.
If the wicked one gets in the Oval office, the Slick one will be rarely seen and heard from less often. He will be treated as nothing more than any other staff wienie.
Completely expendable. A mere rung to be stepped on during the climb.

Yup. I saw it. He said the only one who could beat Hillary in 2008 would be Colin Powell.

I don't know. I have a hunch she's not even interested. Bush/Rice would be an unbeatable ticket.
