Take a dash of sex, another of power. Add an overflowing resumé of firsts: first baby boomer to become first lady, the first working woman to be a president's wife, the first White House spouse to exercise influence openly at the conference table, not just the dinner table.

The first to travel so widely abroad, with a portfolio of causes that helped to shape history, just because she brought them up. "The first lady of the world," is how one young woman in Thailand described her thrill at meeting Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Not so soon after lunch, please.

[Chairman Fred]

Kissy, kissy.

Barf, barf.

[Political Junkie Too]

"It's our 'Harry Potter,'" said a clerk taking orders for "Living History" at a Washington bookshop a few blocks from the White House.

So that explains it. The Rose Law Firm billing records were kept in the Chamber Of Secrets. That's why they mysteriously appeared one day.

It figures this trash comes from Newday.

[areafiftyone]

But do the Democreep candidates deserve to be overshadowed by her now and next year by Bubba when his book comes out? If I were them I would be telling Hillary to get off the stage!

[wtc911]

Newsday....less credible, more biased than the NYT. A social engineering rag, not a newspaper.

[GrandMoM]

Take a dash of sex,....OOhhhhhh GGGeeeezzzzz, that's I picture I didn't want in my brain!!

[Numbers Guy]

Her detractors see in the book complete calculation, a money-grab, a compendium of self-serving pabulum and outright lies - though how they know they're lies

We know they're lies because she's a liar.

[TheBigB]

"She picked herself up, she dusted herself off and she said, 'OK, world. I'm coming back at you,'"

Apparently not quite understanding when the world said, "Uh, thanks, but really, you don't have to. No, really, that's okay. Thanks anyhoo."

Yet the public named Hillary Rodham Clinton the most admired woman in the world in five of the last seven years, according to a Gallup poll. Last year she even edged out the current first lady, Laura Bush.

Hmmmm, I wonder where she placed on the list of most despised women in the worrld...

"It's our 'Harry Potter,'" said a clerk taking orders for "Living History" at a Washington bookshop a few blocks from the White House.

I'm sure it's a big deal in Washington where people like to read about themselves and their friends and their enemies. Outside of the beltway I doubt that anyone much cares.

[dirtboy]

Gawd, what a load of garbage.

It sparked an outcry among the White House press corps, which groused that she'd not given an interview on politics

Funny, but she's never given an open press confrence on politics in her entire tenure as Senator, and we don't hear crap about that.

[dark_lord]

The real question is, how much money would you require before you would serve as Hillary's gigalo? :-)

[LdSentinal]

The first to travel so widely abroad . . .

Yet Hillenberg is unable to travel to even a single funeral from people who died on 9/11.

[lilylangtree]

How much was Cocco paid to write this skunky-smelling dribble?

[barker]

In real life I work as a merchandiser for a book company. Yep, I had to put out this book. Well, I did but I turned it backwards.

[section9]

Jeez. Cocco's auditioning for Hillary's bedchamber!

Sweet Jesus, liberals are so damn gullible. I mean, they really are a gaggle of stupid people!

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[New Horizon]

I would definitely be "dashing" from sex with that thing.

[Steve_Seattle]

"The first to rise above it all to become the first first lady elected to the U.S. Senate - or any other public office, for that matter."

False on both accounts, so why again is Hillary so damned important?
