Partial Transcript From Leno: Hillary on Being Freeped at Living History Book Signings

Monday, August 1, 2003 | Kristinn

Three years ago this summer when Hillary Clinton was running for the Senate as a, ahem, New Yorker, she appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She talked about some guy in a devil suit following her around New York (our very own Doctor Raoul, in fact.)

In current interviews, she's still talking about the devil following her around at the book signings for her memoir, Living History.

Mrs. Clinton was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno again tonight. Jay opened the interview asking how her book tour was going:

J: It's good to see you!

H: Thank you, I'm glad to be here.

J: You look very happy, you seem happy, are you, is like a happy time now?

H: Jay, it is, it's a very happy time--no it is! (Makes googoo eyes while touching Jay on the arm.) I'm having a great time. I love, you know, my work in the Senate. I love living in New York and representing New York and I'm having a great time going around the country on this book tour. I've met so many fabulous people. Yeah, I mean, I think probably in the last two months about twenty-seven thousand people have to come see me at these book signings.

J: So you've signed, your hand, um you should have one arm like this shouldn't you? (Jay holds up clawed hand and bent arm indicating carpal tunnel, Hillary does the same.)

H: Well, you know, it's such an invigorating experience. It's just this part of my body (holds wrist) from my wrist down that gets really worn out. But people have been terrific. They, you know, they come through the line, they have stories. They tell me this is the first book they've ever bought, or they bring their daughters to meet me.

J: That's not good is it?

H: No I think it's wonderful (Hillary makes googoo eyes at Jay and touches him on the arm again.)

J: No but I mean if they're an adult and this is the first book, oooo, I mean doesn't that say something about our educational system?

H: Well it might say something about, about their income. You know, I mean, cuz books to alot of people are a luxury. You know, maybe they go to the library instead. But they've been so, people have been so enthusiastic and they come through and, you know, and say things like, you know, I played pinochle, too, as a kid, you know. Or I loved your stories about going to South Asia because that's where I'm from. I mean it's just, it's been a great experience.

J: Well how about like, cuz whenever any political person, and especially you show up, there's always the crazy people. I mean there must be that one sort of guy who waits in line because he wants to say something nasty when he gets up. And he's actually bought a book so he can give his, I mean, does, has that happen, do you fear that?

H: That hasn't happened yet.

J: Oh, okay.

H: That hasn't happened yet. But what has happened is that they can't bring themselves to buy the book so they stand out, across the street yelling at me (Hillary gestures outward)

J: Laughs

H: That's fine, that's all part of the First Amendment and everything. But they don't, they don't actually buy the book and come through to yell at me.

J: Okay, so they're not that committed.

H: Not that committed. No, I think they're sorta lukewarm about it after all

J: For most it would be the first book they've ever bought.

H: Or read. (Hillary beams, she made a funny!)

We traveled seven hrs. round trip to Portland.

King Vanity wanted to attend the Hillary book signing.

We called ahead and set up to be very well accomadated.

All wheelchairs are escorted to the front of the line.

Hillary showed up an hour early.

When my son King Vanity went up to get his books signed Hillary got up and came around the table to get up close and personal with King.

It made it on the late night news the King and Queen together. He still thinks she is a crook.

She really woooed over him. I was busy attending to his needs and she made a point to get my attention and put her hand out to me and said "God Bless You".

She is a short small woman. I felt she was wearing the ultra kind and dainty Hillary mask.

As we left people in the other room waiting in line looked at us with excitement. I blurted out "she's not wearing ol' crusty" and the room busted up.

We were interviewed three times after about why go if we are right wingers. I said we got the books for our Lib. friends (after all we are not haters) and my son wanted to meet/freep her.

We minded our manners at her shin dig.

We then went out and met with Freepers across the street.

So the Queen got up and came over to King Vanity.

Thanks Hillary for fawning over a 24yr. old right winger.

You know, she appears to be so desperate to get people to buy her book that she has actually encouraged us to purchase a copy so we can sneer at her in person. I felt she was taunting us to do it.

Otherwise we are "lukewarm".

Does anyone feel up to the challenge?

As I posted on the OTHER thread:

PERFECT timing, oceanperch!

Earlier this week, the Hildabeast made a big deal on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" about how we never FReep her INSIDE the bookstores, and here you are, two days later FReeping her INSIDE!!!

This has positively got to BLOW HER MIND!!!

Bravo, King Vanity!!!
