Good old Jim Wright, who used to be Speaker of the House. Do any of you remember his sorry @$$? He got caught writing a book and selling it to contributers to his campaign. It seems as though some people bought huge loads of his book and never even botheres to read it.

I am sure that Hillary is trying to do a 'one up' on Fort Worthless Jim. He got caught writing the book and selling it. It looks like The Old Bag ain't gonna get caught selling a book because she not planning on writing it.

Hillary! rushed to sign the deal because it would have been a Senate ethics violation to take the money after she was sworn into the Senate.

However, wouldn't it also be an ethics violation to be in breech of contract while being a sitting Senator? Hillary! owes the publishers the book or the money back. Doesn't she have to do something or face other Senate ethics violations (okay, okay, you can stop rolling on the floor laughing now).

I think the brunt of Wright's problem was that he sold the book in lots of 1,000 at $10/copy (or something like that), plus his 55% "royalty."
