And speaking of not telling the truth, the whole PR campaign for Lying History, er, Living History appears to be one lie heaped upon another -- just like the poltical careers of Hillary Clinton and her prevaricating, philandering partner in crime, Bill Clinton. For example, several reports now indicate that the first printing of Living History will be two hundred thousand, not one million, copies. And it now appears that the notorious "leaked" AP excerpt from Hilliary's "tell-all" -- which received so much advance publicity -- came directly from Hilliary and her publisher (should we be surprised?).

And what about all those eager literary fans who lined up all night to get a fresh-minted copy of Hilliary's opus fictional account of her life with Bill. Well, Ann Coulter has an interesting perspective on that much-hyped phenomenon too:

First in line for Hillary's book at Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Center on Sunday night was Charles Greinsky, who told the New York Daily News he rushed out at midnight to get one of the first books because he supported Hillary's health-care plan. A few years ago, the Associated Press identified Greinsky more fully. It turns out he is "a longtime Clinton campaigner" from Staten Island, who has been the Clintons' guest several times both at the White House and at their home in Chappaqua, N.Y.

Could Mr. Greinsky have been a Clinton plant, conveniently located at the front of the Barnes & Noble lineup for the sake of the gullible press? Heavens to Hillary, what a mean and hurtful accusation. Hilliary resorting to such a transparent P.R. fraud? Never! It must have been another nefarious 'dirty trick' perpetuated by that vast right-wing conspiracy that previously tricked Bill into committing adultery, using cigars for, er, unconventional prurient purposes, and pardoning a bevy of hard-core criminals when he left office.

Let me say up front that I have no use for Hillary Clinton. And as I've said before, I have no doubt that her book is a boring, self-serving piece of you-know-what. I won't even read a review of it, much less the book itself.

But I am amused to no end by people such as yourself who apparently see a Hillary behind every tree. If you think that a NY Times story about a book signing is part of a vast plot to get get Hillary elected as president, then you might need serious help. Please, find something more useful to do with your life.

"For example, several reports now indicate that the first printing of Living History will be two hundred thousand, not one million, copies."

This might be true and I hope it is, but you're going to have to show me a little more than "several reports." Which reports? What evidence do they have? I'd truly like to see it. This would, of course, mean that the reports saying that her book sold 200,000 in the first days are lies, because that means there would be no books left.

If all the attention is being caused by Hillary's machinations, then why is her book still number 2 at Amazon? How did she accomplish that (oops, I fogot, she's all powerful)? Some here cite the fact that Hillary's book is already 30 percent off at Amazon as proof that it's not selling well, but then that must be even more true for the new Harry Potter book, which hasn't even come out yet and is already discounted 40 percent at Amazon. Great piece of proof there.

I think it was YOU who missed MY point -- all this paranoia over a book that will be forgotten in a few weeks is simply juvenile.

WHO'S HOT & WHO'S NOT!

WHO'S HOT....

1. HILLARY CLINTON

As far as the media glitterati are concerned, Hillary Clinton and her new autobiography, Living History, are hot, hot, hot.

Interviewing the senatorial ice queen, on what appeared to be an ABC TV infomercial for Hillary's new book, a sycophantic Barbara Walters displayed all the professionalism of a ten-week-old cocker-spaniel puppy, as she panted and fawned over America's most notorious Democratic presidental candidate-in-waiting.

As the syrupy and cosmetically-altered Walters -- fresh from her daily embalming at Elizabeth Arden's -- hurled one exaggerated compliment after another in the direction of the former First Pilferer, one couldn't have been blamed for expecting Senator Clinton to rise from her seat, approvingly pat Babs on the top of her surgically-enhanced noggin, and then feed her a Milkbone treat.

In the biggest TV suck-up since Regis Philibin interviewed Elton John, Barbara Wawa all but elevated Hillary Clinton to sainthood, praising her for a variety of virtues which America's most famous serial-adultery victim wouldn't recognize if she tripped over them, including candidness, sincerity and unbridled maternal devotion.

According to Walters, Living History is a "wife's deeply personal account of being betrayed in front of the entire world." Yes, and as Ann Coulter has noted, "it was so deeply personal, it took several ghostwriters to get it right."

Of course, despite the public's supposed euphoric rush to pick up copies of this magnificent opus of spinmeistering, a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll -- investigating public reaction to Hillary Clinton's new memoir -- found that a majority of Americans don't believe Mrs. Clinton's account. According to the Gallup people, only 35% of the American people believe Hillary Clinton is telling the truth; and 56% say she is not telling the truth.

And speaking of not telling the truth, the whole PR campaign for Lying History, er, Living History appears to be one lie heaped upon another -- just like the poltical careers of Hillary Clinton and her prevaricating, philandering partner in crime, Bill Clinton.

The good news, we suppose, is that this latest Clinton PR-fest has revealed that the majority of the American people still are cynical and suspicious when it comes to the words and actions of both Clintons. The bad news is that neither Bill or Hillary appear ready to grant the wish of 90% of the American public -- for the Clintons to just go away.
