HILLARY CLINTON BOOK PAST DUE, PUBLISHER'S ANGST OVER NO MANUSCRIPT, NO TITLE; SENATOR TOOK LARGEST ADVANCE IN HISTORY

Executives at publishing powerhouse SIMON AND SCHUSTER are dismayed over Hillary Clinton's failure to turn in a completed manuscript for her book, due out in August, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The senator of the Empire State has already received a $2.85 million cash advance on her memoirs, from a total deal valued at more than $8 million.

"We must be off to the printer next month, but the manuscript isn't in yet!" said one SIMON AND SCHUSTER source last week. "Advance sales are lagging. And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market."

One top source says the situation has not reached a legal concern, rather it is being described as an "annoyance."

The former first lady signed the deal before the 9/11 terror attacks.

One Clinton intimate explains: "In all fairness, she has been preoccupied with serving New York during these challenging times... [But] the writing is wonderful, touching, and will lift Hillary to a new level of respect."

Are we surprised??

Ghostwriter's block.

She's not preoccupied with "serving New York;" she is preoccupied with raising dough and lots of it. That is simply the only reason she ran for the senate. She has absolutely no chance for the presidency. My opinion.

[Mamzelle]

So they didn't have to upfront the whole eight million...? The way she spends money, that advance is long gone. Now she's having to call on Bill for funds...

[SouthernFreebird]

Perhaps she misplaced them.....

[bedolido]

she needs to write a tell all... maybe just a tell some. wait! maybe just keep her lies to herself.

[Vaduz]

Take a look at her swiss account

[Trust but Verify]

No, we're not surprised, she'd love for the book's release to coincide with the kickoff of her Presidential campaign.

[ISonnet]

Hahaha! Hey Simon and Schuster, maybe you should give her another 8 million, then the book will be really, really good.

I'm sure you can count on Terry McAuliffe to buy three or four million copies!

Suckers! Put some ice on it!

[Seeking the truth]

Manuscript?....I don't have time for any stinking manuscript!

Hillary Dreamin...

[bert]

Book?.....what book?

[EllaMinnow]

What the hell did they expect?
That Her Hideousness would actually fulfill her contract?

[The Other Harry]

There's no hurry. No one wants to read it.

[Ol' Sox]

...said one SIMON AND SCHUSTER source last week. "Advance sales are lagging. And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market."

Sounds like they could use our help! Anyone have a title for Hillary!'s book? heheh...

[meenie]

I would suggest that now is the time to start writing.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I'm shocked! Shocked!

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

And there is no title. Without a title it's been difficult to market."

"Mein Kamph" and "The Communist Manifesto" were already taken.

[The Other Harry]

How about: "It Takes an Incredible, Very Selfish, Valueless Bitch"?

No one will read it in any event, but a good title would still be nice to have.

[Cvengr]

Now they have enough material for a modern day chapter,..The Memoirs Fraud.
