One of the glummer aspects of advancing years is seeing all your more whimsical jokes become literally true. So it has now been announced that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be writing a "thriller". Plot spoiler: It was Putin. With the Macedonian Content Farmers. In a $100,000 Facebook ad.
Well, no. It will surely be a little more thrilling than that. Mrs Clinton will be collaborating with Louise Penny, who writes (to me not entirely persuasive) police procedurals set in Quebec's Eastern Townships, a short tootle north of me, if you can get across the shuttered border. If I'd known Hillary was in the market for a Canadian co-author, I'd have volunteered my own services just to ease the tedium of lockdown. But no doubt she was looking for bigger fish. (Ms Penny and I have mutual friends, but only in that everyone-in-Canada-knows-everyone-else sense.)
As I said, in a certain sense I foresaw this grim and dispiriting mid-life career shift. The piece below is one for which we get a ton of requests, even though it's two decades old and I had hopes we might be able to retire it round about 9.57pm on election night in November 2016, when personal-appearance rates for the impressive roster of Clinton Foundation public speakers were dramatically slashed and publishers' advances on her biennial autobiographies seemed likely to follow.

A Thrillah of Fillah?
In other words, Hillary is paying this other person a lot of money to write a book and let Hillary take credit as if she has a single solitary worthwhile artistic notion in her rotten skull.
Is that farther than a hop, skip and a jump but not as distant as a spit and a holler? Just askin.'
More like Hillary needs a cash bribe and this book is how they will pass it to her.
It isn’t like they can get loot from the Clinton Foundation any more.
Why not? Who's going to stop them, the Supreme Court?
I loved the Harry Potter series, & this was the funniest Mark Steyn column EVER!!!

The lack of contributions prevents Hillary! from tapping that source. Now that Hillary! no longer holds an office nor has any prospects of one, there contributions coming into the Clinton Foundation have dwindled.

Harry Potter ping
LOL - Little kids know.
About 80 miles I reck’n
A good theory.
I'll remember not to drive an all electric car. Round trip would be half my range.
I agree, hilarious!
Never noticed before (fixated on the swollen ankles/feet), but
this photo shows HRC as having “MAN HANDS” (and, what
appears to be dirt under her fingernails)!
