Local Sales Of Hillary Clinton Book Off To Slow Start

Memoir Reveals Account On President Clinton's Affair

POSTED: 7:02 p.m. PDT June 9, 2003 UPDATED: 7:03 p.m. PDT June 9, 2003

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's new autobiography went on sale Monday morning.

In New York, people lined up for as long as 14 hours waiting to have Clinton autograph their copy of her new book. But in Bakersfield, the sounds of ringing cash registers was not as loud.

Sales started out slowly at Russo's Bookstore.

Valerie Lewis of Russo's Books said, "We were anticipating more of a rush but our community takes a little time to get going and then it really hits."

A few people got their copy of "Living History" to read up on Clinton's eight-year stint as America's First Lady.

Customer Bernice Bonillas said, "I'm a Hilary Clinton fan. There's been so much hype on the news I just wanted to make sure -- be sure I get one."

Clinton's account on her husband's affairs may be the book's hottest selling points.

Clinton received an $8 million paycheck for writing the book.

There is also speculation that she is aiming for an even bigger benefit -- a 2008 presidential bid.

For some Bakersfield residents, the latest media blitz on the New York senator's life seems to have bogged down any interest.

"I've been hearing enough on the TV about it and I think I already have an idea on what it's about," said one customer.

Meanwhile, one customer bought a book on a completely different political figure -- President George W. Bush.

"It's a birthday present for my son who's a political science professor and a Democrat. He has to teach both sides so I thought this book called, 'Made In Texas,' gives a different view of Bush," one customer told KERO.

The hardback version of "Living History" costs about $28. A seven-hour audio version of the book is also available in stores.

She threatens to write a new book about her Senate career in the introduction.

I know you've posted on my thread, but for those who haven't seen it ... here's my review of Living History.

Any one who paid $28 bucks for this piece of overpriced fiction is also a sucker for the Nigerian e-mail scam. ;-)

Hillary: The Queen of Farce

Just think what would have happened to book sales
if these tidbits of truth were in her book!

Truth is much more interesting
than fiction.

...WHY was HILLARY's own personal private detective ANTHONY PELLICANO arrested last fall for feloneous possession of C-4 Explosives, Military Grenades Automatic Weapons along with over $200,000 in bundles of $10,000 each for payments to individuals doing his Dirty Work for him..?

...WHY was former CLTINON Lover GENNIFER FLOWERS so concerned for her own personal safety after then First Lady HILLARY's own personal private detective ANTHONY PELLICONO attacked her credibility in the Media just after the CLINTON's got to the White House in 1993...

...after GENNIFER FLOWERS exposed her 12 year affair with BILL CLINTON during the 1992 Presidential Campaign..?

One of the first questions Hillary answered in the Walters interview was about Bill Clintons comment that a president should be able to serve more-than 2 terms.

Sensible Hllary said that having more-than 2 terms would make a president too powerful.

(Whew..America sighs in relief)

However, in perfect Hitler-Goebbels schtick, this well-placed leading-line was followed by an entire-hour of Hillary-For-President programming!

(TV "Programming" takes on a NEW meaning here!)

When Hillary runs for President and Wins, quess what, the Clinton-Duo will suddenly get a Third Term, and by Hillary's own admission, this would make them both SUPER-Powerful!

America--- Under the Clinton *Mass-Brainwashing* Spell

Again

The local grocery stores already had discounted the book by 25%. The top book on the rack was already a little used looking. That means people have had enough interest in the book to stop and read a little but after reading a little did not find it good enough to buy.

I personally, woould not even give this book enough credence to check it out at the library. I planmed on reading a chapter a week at the grocery store, but after reading the first chapter out of the slightly used book in the grocery store, I wouldn't waste my time

I couldn't figure out whether she hated republicans because of her father, or hated her father because he was republican. Rather than use the paper to explain what she believed in, she wasted a tree explaining why she hates conservatives.

You know what they say. Any publicity is good publicity as long as they spell your name right.

I really think we are seeing the beginning of the end for the Clintoons. A pity, really. I wanted to see them drag the Democrat Party into the sewer for another few years before leaving the scene.

Bakersfield is often the brunt of jokes by other Californians--remember how Johnny Carson would use Bakersfield for a punchline whenever he had a joke about backwards, "Oakie" people?

I guess we aren't "sophisticated" enough to gouge out our eyes in order to blindly follow the liberal line of sheep.

Ann Coulter's book, "Treason" is coming out later in June. I would like to see it knock Hillary's book out of her #1 spot.

"A seven-hour audio version of the book is also available in stores."

"When I think of the losers in this country, who would buy the book, not to mention the audio version, I shake my head in bewilderment."

The audio version is probably for blind, and illiterate people. In other words, most Dimocrats!
