This has to make the dying media’s blood boil. They are suffering sleepless nights wondering when their pink slip will show up.

You dead media types don’t like what you have made? Tiny violins for you.

Funny how disinterested ABC News was when Clinton went from the lowest paid Governor in the country ($35,000. a year) to a bank account of over $130 million.

No problem. What’s shocking is how much money Bill Maher has made, or Sean Penn.

I hope she makes so much money that she ends up buying cbs, abc and nbc and then burning each of them to the ground.

You betcha.

She reputedly got a $7 million deal for her first book

Someone correct me here, but as understand it, famous, high selling authors like her, get $4 for every book sold. Given that she's sold approx 3 million copies of her book, that'd put the money from her book alone at $12 million, no?
