Once again, the DC Chapter of Free Republic leads the way...
THIS time, though, many of the REST of us can join the fun, and follow their lead!From:
I personally **LOVE** the idea of FReepers - all across the USA - dressing up as "GHOST writers" to greet the junior Senator from New York - at EVERY book-signing, in EVERY city, all across the US - to stress the message that Hillary did NOT write this book of lies all by herself...Hillary Clinton Book Tour Calendar

FAIRFAX, Va. -- The record-setting book tour of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) lost no steam Wednesday night even in this Republican enclave in northern Virginia.
More than 1,000 people lined up at the local Wal-Mart to get the former first lady's signature on a copy of her best-selling memoir, "Living History." It was her second major promotional appearance since the book went on sale this week.
A dozen protesters with anti-Clinton signs showed up, but Clinton entered the store from the rear and did not see the demonstrators in the parking lot.
At one point, hundreds of book purchasers who spilled out into the lot began chanting "Go home!" at the protesters, drowning out their shouts labeling the senator a "hypocrite" and "liar."
"You just can't believe anything she says," said Jeff Becker, an organizer of the protest. Becker is with the conservative Internet site FreeRepublic.com, which has spent much of this week urging people to protest Clinton's "fictitious" autobiography.
Among the signs the protesters carried was one that said "I Believe Juanita" -- a reference to Juanita Broaddrick, who accused former President Bill Clinton of raping her when he lived in Arkansas. That allegation is not addressed in the memoir...

Everyone at each of our FUTURE FReeps needs to consider what WE want our post-FReep message to be in the media, and make sure that we stay "on message" - so that we also get this kind of coverage.
Hillary's more wonk than writer
David Kipen, Chronicle Book CriticThursday, June 12, 2003
Nobody scouring Hillary Clinton's cautious but admirable new memoir for revelations appears to have stuck around for the acknowledgments.On page 529, Clinton somewhat shockingly identifies her longtime right arm, Lissa Muscatine, as "[r]esponsible for many of the words in my speeches as first lady and in this book."
How's that again? Responsible for many of the words... ...in this book? If somebody else was responsible for many of the words, then what exactly was Clinton responsible for? The pictures? The typesetting? Hiring Lissa Muscatine?
Maybe in a culture where policy assistants routinely ghostwrite not just their bosses' speeches but even their signed op-ed pieces, where lazy pundits ridicule plagiarists for stealing other people's words but seem to think buying other people's words is standard operating procedure, this sort of thing flies.
Certainly, Clinton wouldn't be the first person to staff out part, or even all, of her autobiography. But for anybody still naive enough to consider written language the purest, unfudgeable fingerprint of a human soul, the admission rankles.
Whoever really wrote "Living History," it's not exactly a knock on Clinton to observe that the book reads as if written by a committee...

The only thing I'll dread is that the mask is tight and very warm and you can't hardly breathe or see while wearing it. It would be torture on a hot day.
EXCELLENT!!!I have a rubber mask with Hillary's face.
I could dress up in a pantsuit.
Any suggestions for a sign to put around my neck?The only thing I'll dread is that the mask is tight and very warm and you can't hardly breathe or see while wearing it.
It would be torture on a hot day.
Let's ask the PROFESSIONALS - from the DC Chapter - about wearing costumes to FReeps:What say YOU, Doctor Raoul, kristinn and sauropod?
As for the HEAT and DISCOMFORT, it will be over fast, imho.As for the pantsuit, she USED to wear "Old Crusty" in black, but it now appears that she will be wearing PEACH:We get there at 10 am,
the Hildabeast arrives at 11 am,
she leaves at around noon or 1 pm,
and then, so do we.
Finally, as to the sign, it must:

Hillary Clinton Book Tour Draws Large Crowds

U.S. Senator and former First Lady Hillary Clinton's book about her years in the White House has quickly become a best-seller and is causing a bit of a stir among Democratic Party political activists. Senator Clinton's appearances at bookstores to autograph copies of her memoir are drawing large crowds that are mostly friendly but have a few detractors as well.
AP Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., looks at a customer during an autograph session Outside a bookstore on Capitol Hill in Washington, the lines snake around the block with hundreds eager for an autograph and a brief exchange with Senator Clinton.
A beaming Lisa Sherrod has just emerged from the bookstore with her prize, an autographed copy of Mrs. Clinton's book, Living History. "It was wonderful. She was energetic and very friendly. She looks wonderful and I am very excited about reading this book. My 87-year-old grandmother started reading it last night," she says.

Photo - Simon & SchusterAmong those waiting patiently in line for her turn is Marilyn Markowitz of Washington. She sees Hillary Clinton as a role model for American women. I am here to support Hillary Clinton and also to buy her book for my mom because I think that she is an example for us women as to how far you can go if you use your smarts," she says.
Actually, Marilyn Markowitz believes Hillary Clinton can go a lot farther, all the way to the White House one day. In fact, she is unimpressed with the nine Democrats now running for president and would like Senator Clinton to join the Democratic field for 2004. "They are kind of into the mediocrity, I mean, I don't even distinguish between their faces. But hers stands out," she says.
In television interviews given in conjunction with the release of the book, Mrs. Clinton has repeatedly said she has no intention at this time of running for president, either next year or in the future. She told NBC's Today program that she is confident that the Democrats will nominate a strong challenger to take on President Bush in 2004. "Well, it is not going to happen. It is a total hypothetical and I have said I am not running, so that is the answer. But you know, we have very good [Democratic presidential] candidates," she said.
To be sure, the prospect of a Hillary Clinton campaign for president does not thrill everyone. Even at her book signings, she is dogged by small groups of conservative protesters eager to douse any presidential ambitions she may have. "Ladies and gentlemen, in just a few minutes, you too will be able to witness the Hillary Clinton freak show. Live and in person, the human doormat herself! For the modest price of just $28 you can marvel as the smartest woman in the world plays dumb for suckers like you," says Christin Taylor, with a conservative group called Free Republic.
"We don't like Hillary. We think she is telling a lot of lies in her book and we are here to try to set the record straight some and have some fun while doing it," she says.A new poll by USA Today and the Gallup organization suggests Mrs. Clinton's image has improved since the release of her book. The new poll found 53 percent of those surveyed had a favorable view of Mrs. Clinton, up from 43 percent just two weeks ago.
But the polls and many political experts suggest Mrs. Clinton remains a polarizing political figure, wildly popular with liberal Democrats but a favorite target for conservative Republicans.
Even some of her supporters concede she will have to mend a few political fences if she hopes to one day win the presidency. Joanna Gabryszewski is a supporter who says she would like to work in a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign one day. But she says the Senator will have to win over some of her critics if she hopes to succeed. "There is a little bit of that. She is going to have to get over the hump on that and I am not sure how," she says. "She has got a little bit of a battle uphill before she can get enough people on her bandwagon [to get elected president]."
But many of her supporters brush those concerns aside and are eager for another Clinton in the White House. Lisa Sherrod says she believes Mrs. Clinton should set her sights on the 2008 presidential election. "Yes! Definitely in 2008. I think she needs to put her time in the Senate, get that experience and the notoriety and it is all hers," she says.
The latest USA Today-Gallup poll suggests the public is sharply split on a possible Hillary Clinton run in 2008. Forty-two percent of those surveyed said they would be either very likely or somewhat likely to support her. But 56 percent said it was either not very likely or not likely at all that they would vote for her.
But before Mrs. Clinton can even consider running in 2008, she might first seek to get re-elected to the Senate from New York. She faces that test in 2006.
...says Christin Taylor, with a conservative group called Free Republic. "We don't like Hillary. We think she is telling a lot of lies in her book and we are here to try to set the record straight some and have some fun while doing it," she says...Sounds like we have another Jayson Blair here...
