Newt took a licking for even trying to get an advance (which he didn't do in the end). But what hillary is doing is more like what cost Wright his job. Everyone who wants her to make a political appearance has to guarantee a number of book sales.
Oh, yeah, she calls them "book signings" and that makes it ok. If she were honest, she'd call them "passing out of stamped books".
