Looks like another Liberal win-win situation to me.
‘borrow’ a copy from CostCo and use it for toilet paper
She got hers, so what, at this point, difference does it make?
Want to have a real laugh ? Go to Amazon and bring up “Hard Choices “ and read some of the reviews and readers comments....
Bribes and graft are never considered expenses.
Pray America wakes up
$99.38 per book they laid out to Hillary - not including the expenses for actually PRODUCING the book in print ...
161,000? Why the hell would anyone ever buy a book that they don’t intend to ever read? That’s dumb!
That’s a shame.
And of the 161,000 sold at least 100,000 were bought by the NY Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe and LA Times as stocking stuffers for their reporters.
Think of all the low level people working for S&S struggling to make ends meet. Just a couple thousand more a year would help them pay the rent or feed the kids. But there’s no money left in the S&S budget because the Clinton’s needed to be paid for all the sacrifices they’ve made supporting the socialist cause.
So ... stay hungry kids. You’ll need that fortitude in the years to come.
Went by Costco Tuesday morning and they had a hundred or so copies on display in nice neat stacks. It didn’t appear that one had been moved (duel meaning). But not one copy of “America” was to be seen.
So how will they recoup most of it? Likely in this type of situation. Get Liberal colleges and Universities to book her as a speaker and make her book mandatory reading. The students {cough cough parent taxpayers} get roped into paying for it. Don’t like it happens all the time. Liberal colleges have morons writing crap like global warming who aren’t even scientist and have them as paid required read speakers which they also charge students to hear.
They could write and sell all the books they want. They just couldn't take advances. Newt Gingrich would be a great lead for this campaign.
How many of those were purchased in a single order by the Clinton Foundation?
They weren’t stupid enough to just ‘give’ her $14M were they?
In most cases like this re: a book by a high profile person of note, the money is an ‘advance against sales’. This means if the sales aren’t there, they have to give the proportionate amount back.
They paid her the money for political reasons. They all deserve to be fired, including the one at the top.
...if I were running against her (in the Primary or General), I would file a complaint with the FEC saying that was an illegal contribution, and that she has to return most of the money. It’s no different than if she were paid $1M per hour for 14 hours of “consulting” - it is illegal.
...and it may have “legs” in Primary season, as all it takes is a phone call from Obama, whose not so hot on her in the first place, to get things moving.
This is typical Lib mis-direction.
The $16 million was a campaign contribution and nothing more (from CBS, the publisher’s owner.)
That begs the question: highly anticipated by whom? Certainly not the book-buying public.
