Hillary bedeviled by protesters

Protesters have become a regular feature at book signings by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), but so far, according to Clinton's publisher, Simon & Schuster, they haven't hurt sales.
Now Clinton may have another problem that could: conservative blonde nemesis Ann Coulter and her new bestseller, Treason.
Living History, Clinton's book, continues to do a brisk business, yet by the beginning of the week Coulter's anti-liberal tome had buried it on Amazon's nonfiction bestseller list. Treason started the week in the No. 1 spot, while Living History had fallen out of the top 10.
Unfazed, Clinton has kept a heavy schedule of appearances. By her estimate, she's signed 10,000 copies of her memoirs.
"I try to look at people," she told Newsday. "I give [them] five or six or seven seconds to say something. Some are tongue-tied, some have a whole speech prepared, some give me letters."
Considering the number of protesters she attracts, Clinton said, she's surprised she hasn't received more negative comments at book signings. For security reasons Simon & Schuster has never posted her appearances on its website.
"One man in a devil's costume . . .has been following me for three years," Clinton said.
The devil didnt show a week ago when she signed books at a store in Huntington, N.Y., but there was a guy dressed in desert fatigues and a Hillary mask calling himself "Rodham Hussein."

Aloha,
Just noticed your tag line about the 7th Cav.
My husband (1st Cav) and I watched We Were Soldiers just last night to set our mindset for this patriotic weekend. In that respect, I send my utmost respect to you for your courageous service.

the line was pretty long, but to actually get your book signed, you had to have picked up a slip earlier in the day. Nobody told the people who were waiting in line, that, though, so when they found out they had waited all that time for nothing, there was a public scene. How unfortunate. They did this on purpose, having extra people show up thinking the will get a book signed looks good on the evening news.

Are you sure its human Hillary? Could be from the underworld, or simply a reflection in the mirror.

Living History is piggy-backing off of the new Harry Potter book. . . Go to Amazon. . . They are offerring the both of them for $34.97. . . What the.....??? That makes zero business sense.

Uh, that would be your shadow.

Living History is piggy-backing off of the new Harry Potter book as we speak. Go to Amazon and check it out. I couldn't believe it, so I did go to Amazon. Sure enough, if you search Living History, they offer the deal. Love to hear the details on how that was arranged, by whom and who paid for it! (If you go to the Harry Potter book, though, the special is a boxed set of Harry Potter.)

He must of said 3 or 4 times that he was sure the book would be a best seller. Nice to know that Richard Cohen occassionally stumbles into the truth.

"I try to look at people," she told Newsday. Heaven help anyone who looks back, or even [gasp] makes direct eye contact!
To: Howlin

Did anybody notice that Richard Cohen, the ultra liberal Columnist for the the WashPost, did a hit job on Ann's new book yesterday.
"When your taking flak, it means you're over the target."
I'm sure Tailgunner Joe would agree....
