Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to tour the nation, promoting her new book, Hard Choices, and a possible 2016 candidacy.
Her book tour, filled with gaffes and missteps, has lagged and perhaps failed to live up to expectations. But that's not all. Her book, when compared to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's political memoir, Going Rogue, has woefully underperformed in sales.
And it’s pretty cut and dried.
Palin's book, which was released the same year President Obama moved into the White House, sold approximately 496,000 copies in its first week of release, according to figures cited by the New York Times. That’s almost half a million copies in one week.
In contrast, Clinton, with all her softball interviews and a massive amount of free publicity from an excited press, sold only 100,000 copies from its Tuesday release through Saturday, Politico reported.

Her story about the Marine recruiter turning her down is highly suspect. Until someone who knows better corrects me I am going to say that I have never heard of a 21 year old military recruiter in any branch. As far as I know recruiting duty is reserved for career military people and no one is considered a career man until he has reenlisted for the first time and 21 is too young to be on a second enlistment.
Wow, almost didn’t recognize her with that fancy hairstyle.
It's just hard to FReep while I am at work, and even harder to ping her list.
I am working on a better way.
But no worries I am always lurking :)
No worries indeed KC, just messing with ya........
Well maybe some of the union guys probably said not this crap again, and we at least liked her scumbag husband.
Any books on hitlary should be authored by Stephen king.
