According to ghostwriting guru Mahesh Grossman, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is a ghostwriters 'nightmare' who worked with five writers on three books.
Part of the reason is Clinton's hard nosed reputation. Grossman says she is a tough taskmaster who has a certain way of seeing things.
Also, Clinton doesnt like discussing the messy details of her past and is bound to hate any ghostwriter who brings up Monica Lewinsky and Whitewater-even if she agreed to talk about it.
She's also cheap. Grossman claims Clinton tried to stiff one ghostwriter out of $30,000.00.
But that doesn't mean ghostwriters have no way to retaliate. Back in 1996, one ghostwriter caused a scandal by leaking to a reporter that Clinton had seances with Eleanor Roosevelt.

Some people just don't listen, chose not to listen, don't believe what their told, are stupid, greedy, have very little brains, always want to believe the lies, are no matter whatever happen dumb-o-crats or are all of the above.
Then when this type of event happens to them they are shocked, mad and belive everone should fell sorry for them.
And my replay to them is:
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES. NO PITY FROM THIS PERSON JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE STUPID.

You mean the whole thing isn't fiction? The book you are about to read is a lie, only the names have not been changed to promote the guilty.

Hillary wants sales to be low! She doesn't care about the money, and she doesn't want the public to learn anything of importance. Excellent point!

she doesn't want the public to learn anything of importance. Roger that! And if it is of importance she wants to "spin" it now. That way when she runs in '08 and anyone brings up the past she can claim that it was ALL dealt with back in '03 and that "the country wants to move on and deal with all the problems THIS Republican President has left behind". Another con in the works!

She gets $8 million to "write" a book, hires someone else to do it and then tries to screw them out of a measley $30,000 ( 3/8 of a percent of the advance.

Here is another point I heard.
If Hillary only says that Bill was an unfaithful spouse, a cad, a sex-addict, etc... and she never says that he was remorseful and apologetic, and that she was moved to forgive him because of a noble commitment to her marriage, the clamor for her to divorce him, will never stop.
So instead, she tells us that it was a painful time in her marriage, that she did a great deal of soul-searching, that she came to the decision that the marriage was salvageable, etc.
Otherwise, everyone will only suspect that the marriage is a power-relationship, and not a true binding of the heart and soul. And, then everyone keeps begging for her to divorce him!
Good, eh?

I was ghostwriter for one of Hillary's chapters in her new book. Not only did she not pay me, she didn't even include it in the book. Juanita Broaddrick has already read the chapter and contacted me. It is dead on.
