Hundreds show early to meet Sen. Clinton [Some telling facts]

The San Diego Union Tribune ^ | 8/6/03 | David E. Graham

Excerpts from a San Diego Union tribune article:

"For hundreds, the promise of even a fleeting meeting made the long, hot wait bearable as they lined the sidewalk for blocks yesterday outside Warwick's bookstore in La Jolla to have Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York sign a copy of her biography, 'Living History.'"

"The more ambitious shook hands, exchanged some small story for a few seconds and left beaming."

"Because only 90 minutes were allotted to sign the 900 books available, Clinton maintained a fast pace, on average six seconds for each purchaser. Often, Clinton kept signing books while she chatted."

Snip

"She would take only one question from the media, and that was about her thoughts on the recall of Gov. Gray Davis."

Compare that w/ what she said on Leno the night before:

Hillary: "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.

Leno: "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.)

Hillary: "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."

Re purchasers of Lying History. Yes, imagine the thrill of finding out most people who bought the piece of trash probably won't or can't even read!

I wish somebody with some bucks would start a conservative paper in San Diego - the conservatives would be more than happy to support it. The worst part is having to use the San Diego Union of Socialists Tribune to advertise vacant commercial space - because they are the ONLY PAPER.
