Trust Hillary? Only Pre-Signed Copies at Living History 'Book Signing' Events

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton ('Rat-NY) is embarking on a summer-long book signing tour across the country to promote her memoirs, Living History, the product of her $8 million deal with publisher Simon & Schuster.

Fans expecting to witness the former First Lady personally autographing copies of her book will instead be given editions with an additional pre-signed page inserted in the book.

Vroman's Bookstore in Pasadena, California, where Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to make her only appearance for the book in southern California on June 29, states on their Website that they have been assured that the author is personally signing the inserts. A Vroman's employee said that the publisher has informed the store that Mrs. Clinton is having difficulty keeping up with the expected demand for autographed books.

Another store, Trover Books in Washington, D.C., where Mrs. Clinton will appear on June 12, has informed the public that for security reasons, no photography will be allowed at her 'book signing'.

Vroman's has not been informed yet whether photography will be allowed at their store. Their Website states that people attending Mrs. Clinton's 'book signing' will be given a voucher for each autographed book purchased. They will "get to say hello and shake hands with the Senator"--an arrangement more akin to a receiving line than a traditional book signing. The vouchers will be exchanged for the autographed books afterward.

Authors much more accomplished in life than the freshman Senator, such as Lady Margaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister who helped win the Cold War, and retired Army General Norman Schwarzkopf, who led American forces to victory in the Gulf War, have labored to sign books in person without photography restrictions at appearances to promote their respective books.

Given Mrs. Clinton reputation of dishonesty in public matters, one wonders if 'ghost signers' will be employed to autograph Living History like ghost writers were used to write the book itself.

with the expected demand for autographed books.

she can't sign 5 books....

[The Wizard]

this only proves that crusty is still the same whore she always has been, she doesn't sign autographs, she's above such things.......what a queen....

I think I have it. Wear a t-shirt under a regular shirt. Just before getting to the table, take off the shirt to reveal the tee: HILLARY, WILL YOU HELP BRING JUANITA BROADDRICK'S RAPIST TO JUSTICE?

[kcvl]

bttt

[kcvl]

Or "I believe Juanita". lol!

[malia]

Use the 'ultra bored senate shot' of her resting her chin(s) on her hand.

[TheSpottedOwl]

In addition, I'd like to see her pages be blue, perfumed, and two-ply. Oh, wait. The pages are already used since they have so much "caca" on them.

Bwahhahaaa!

[RaceBannon]

We tried to ask her just that, once, in NYC!

"Another store, Trover Books in Washington, D.C., where Mrs. Clinton will appear on June 12, has informed the public that for security reasons, no photography will be allowed at her 'book signing'."

Security reasons my foot! She just doesn't want any potential evidence against her to leak out. I mean, suppose she were to go off on one of her infamous tirades when challenged by some evil FReeper with less than honorable intentions?

I hope that Baghdad Bob (aka Doctor Raoul) will be on hand to "promote" Hillary's fictional historical work. A good time should be had by all, (well, except Hillary of course) Hehehe....

[arasina]

I like your idea about former WH Travel Office employees. But will HilLIARy "gasp! and sob!" or demand that you be thrown in a vat of boiling oil?

[sweetliberty]

"Her admirers will line up to get an auto-pen insert. How touching"

How Hillaresque...so authentic; just like the white trash b*tch queen herself.

[Eroteme]

... people attending Mrs. Clinton's 'book signing' will be given a voucher for each autographed book purchased.... The vouchers will be exchanged for the autographed books afterward.

Would the senator be trying to avoid the embarrassment of one of her adoring fans handing her a book other than Living History, say...Barbara Olson's Hell to Pay?

[sweetliberty]

This thread definitely calls for Paul's latest.

Nothing about the clintoons is real. It's either a fake or a lie.

[itsahoot]

could the book be purchased with fake money?"

Sure that is the only kind we have since the last Silver Certificates were taken out of circulation.

[sweetliberty]

"could the book be purchased with fake money?"

Well. maybe not fake, but I'm sure that Chinese funny money would work.

[Bernard]

An "auto-pen insert"???

Is that another Monica joke?

[sweetliberty]

Will keep my eyes open in Arkansas. Although most "events" involving the Clintons around here seem to be pretty covert.

[sweetliberty]

"Hillary has a deepseated distaste for, and phobia of, the public at large. It's pretty clear that she simply cannot handle unscripted appearances and also avoids as much as she possibly can appearances in front of any groups except handpicked ones."

One of the hazards of being a pathological liar with an insatiable lust for power.

"The receiving line idea keeps the peons moving along with little chance of a "scene" being caused, in case a member of the VRWC gets in."

I vote for number one. They have a deep paranoia over those who can expose embarass them. I witnessed that at the FReep we did of XXX42 at a campaign event prior to the 2002 election. Although it was a public event for which people had tickets to attend, some were thrown out and threatened with arrest when it was discovered they were members of the evil Republican party. These people tolerate no dissension in their own ranks. They certainly can't risk having "the enemy" around.
