If the Republicans and Bush administration won't deal firmly with this bully, they will not only lose credibility but they will always have trouble with these types. Once you start waffling it will only encourage bullies.
and that is ample reason to boycott their books

John Fund / WSJ. in April...
"Bill Clinton has landed an advance of close to $12 million for world-wide rights to his presidential memoirs, a record for a nonfiction book. Publisher Alfred A. Knopf claims it will make money on the deal, but that ignores a long history of money-losing books by political figures. Roger Straus, president of Farrar, Straus & Giroux, says the enormous size of the advance is "particularly strange" because there wasn't an auction among competing publishers. He doesn't "see how it's possible for it to make money."
The publishing landscape is littered with books by political figures that failed to make back their advance. Exceptions are the memoirs of Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and those of Jimmy Carter, who received an advance of less than $1 million.
"Publishing books by famous politicians is an ego trip for publishers," Mr. Straus says. "They get publicity and prestige, and they can carry any huge advance as an asset on their balance sheets until the book is released. There are few headlines reporting massive returns of unsold books."
