Who is looking forward to reading Hillary's book?
With all the negativity towards her, I thought I'd start a thread for those of us here on DU who are eagerly waiting to read her book.
I can't wait!

5. I predict Hillary's book will shatter "Shattered" sales by plenty.
Gucci vs. the knock off.
I award one... :stoner:

8. I lived a lot of the campaign...
...including housing her domestic policy advisor partner. I pretty much know the story.
Snort....

10. Very eager! I'll have wine and cheese and no ****s.
Do you mean You mean "wine" or whine? Hold the cheese and the no f&*ks, that requires a willing partner.

An extra copy to "pass out" at the local homeless camp?

21. yes only because i am curious to see if/how she critiques her campaign's performance
or if she just blames everybody else for her loss.
That will be a cliffhanger :loser: :loser: :loser: :loser:

It looks like she will sell at least 2 dozen copies. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

How soon they've forgotten about her Hard Choices book-debacle.
People lost jobs at publisher; Simon & Schuster for paying her all the upfront-money and overestimating distribution. Sales dropped 43% the second week, from only 85,000 copies sold the first week. With rumours of clinton-cheerleaders buying 10-or-so copies themselves, to boost sales-figures.
Stores were stuck clearing valuable shelf-space for a book that nobody was interest in buying. There were people fired from Costco, if I'm not mistaken, for refusing to offer a book that consumers were actually demanding: America, by Dinesh D'Souza... because they convinced Costco to clear all shelf-space for Hard Choices.
I think it was The New Yorker who called it a 'coffee-table decoration'.
596-pages... 'perfect weight for throwing at your husband'... from the best review I remember at the time:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/10911623/Hard-Choices-by-Hillary-Rodham-Clinton-review-a-calculating-tome.html
I'm surprised it hasn't been 'buried'. It's classic.
Even the book’s title seems to have been chosen for maximum dullness because to be witty or provocative would be proof that Clinton, being female, was essentially unserious. (A reader competition in the Washington Post came up with the much tarter: “The Scrunchie Chronicles: 112 Countries and It’s Still All About My Hair.”) Not for Hillary the wry, retrospective chuckle over some work prank or a delicious bitchy jab at a ghastly colleague. On the contrary, every person Clinton has ever worked with, or possibly even met in the queue for the ladies’ room, is praised within these pages. How the eyelids begin to droop as yet another crop of Biffs, Jeds and Tanias is exalted for a remarkable contribution to public service, or for doing their job,

The Clinton Foundation will buy millions of them and send a case to every library with English-language books, then write the whole thing down on their tax return, while Hitlery rakes in the royalties...on top of what was no doubt a large advance in the book deal.
-
I predict HilLIARy's book will fly off the shelves ...
... of Costco's clearance bins ...
... into whatever recycler or landfill Costco uses for crap-that-didn't-sell.

I can buy 8 rolls of generic toilet paper for about $2.00. So no, I don't think I'll be buying Hilllary's book.
-
And with the toilet paper you don't have to worry about the ink coming off making your ass black. :-) :-) :-) :-)

"Sharted" or "Shatted" would have been better titles (and more accurate). Just saying.

13. Not at this time. I bought Bill's book years ago. I haven't read it yet. nt
:rotf: :lmao: :rofl: :thumbs:
melman
22. Not me
Judging by the excerpts this is not a book I'd be interested in reading.
No one of any consequence is interested either, mel. :old:

36. Nope. That's looking backward. I'm looking forward ... to Trump's downfall. Are you one of those "dreamers"?
I voted for Bernie and I'd do so again. :loser:
I voted for Hillary in the General and sent her money :loser: :loser:
I think Hillary was her own worst enemy and lost the election because she played it too safe. :whatever:
I think Bernie would have burned Trump's barn down in the General and would have won handily. yup, one of those "dreamers"..
So no, I'm not interested in Hill's book. Don't feel alone, DUde.

Shhhh, listen, ..... do I hear the soft sizzle of pizza in the background?

Depends . . . :whistling:

Ugh, she couldn't pay me to read her list of excuses. Nor God forbid the audio version.

Although if you did, you could at least tell everyone to kiss your black ass.

What is nobody in their right mind , Alex.

Just like the losing super bowl team, or the losing world series team, their merchandise usually finds its way into the hands of countless needy african children, who don't have any other clothes.
Perhaps Hildabeast might want to consider joining in on that tradition, and giving those poor starving little naked african kids something to use for tinder.

English-speaking insomniacs everywhere.

Oops. Misread the title. Thought it was "who is looking forward to Hillary's booking?"
-
Hell if anyone has been paying attention since last November she's basically given the book away for free. It's everyone else's fault and she's not to blame for anything. The End.

And even after you have used it, the generic toilet paper will STILL be a better read than Whuh Happenin', Dude??
-
Anyone looking forward to turning HilLIARy's book face-inward on bookstore shelves and moving copies of her book into the Sci-Fi section? Yeah, I wouldn't waste my time doing that either.
-

Can you imagine what listening to Hillary reading her tripe would be like??
Use that on those fine folks in Gitmo and they'll be begging to be waterboarded just to get a break from it!

I've heard a few audio clips of it, and I'm wondering what moh-rahn at the publisher thought her condescending pedantic diction was perfect for the audio version.

She probably wanted to title it: WHAT THE **** HAPPENED, which would be her true communicating style.

That would be the chardonnay-mellowed version. The Hillary-when-sober version would have more F-bombs.

Your ass would be in The Hague sooooo fast, it'd make the kangaroo court's heads spin.

Definately not worth the effort, they will rot on the shelves without any intervention from any of us.
However it will be fun to post that you did it just to make a few libs heads explode!!
