Reviews Come In: Hillary Worth Wait

The staff at the Book Revue bookstore in Huntington made it abundantly clear: There would be no personal autograph messages, no posing for photos, nothing that might delay the book signing for even a second or two.
"It's going to be like an assembly line," a staffer told one woman, rejecting her request to have the author use the woman's pen. The haste left little time for a warm encounter with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as she signed copies of her new book, "Living History," Friday evening.
< SNIP >
"She even commented on my hat," she said. "She said to me, 'I love your hat,' which I thought was so sweet. She's a lovely lady."
But no Clinton event would seemingly be complete without the the anti-Hillary crowd. About a half-dozen protesters from the Internet site stophillary.net held a large banner that read "V.I.P. Hillary: Vicious Insufferable Phony."

"I am thrilled and flattered that so many people came out to the Book Revue tonight," Clinton said through a spokesperson. "I am glad I got a chance to spend a few moments talking with all the people who waited so patiently."I love it: the queen said how much she enjoyed talking to the little people through a spokesperson. Priceless; and the World's Dumbest Paper (Newsday from Long Island) doesn't even get the irony.

On Newsday.com there's a video!
View it quick before they realize what they've done! They've actually shown both sides instead of their usual biased reporting. I'm amazed!
To: Wednesday's Child
Firebrand will be posting the Freep story later.
Wait until you hear who our special visitor was!!!!!!
The reporter who wrote the Newsday article spent a lot of time with us and was a nice guy.
Pictures of the "mystery" visitor and others taken by Deadhead and Nickyg should be up later as well.

Gotta love Newsday for their attempt to campaign for Hitchary with their headline. Notice it says nothing about her book. Just that she's "worth the wait." Should it be "worth using as a paperweight" instead?

"I Love Hillary -- I don't care about the truth," a woman shouted from the open window of a minivan on New York Avenue in Huntington, Long Island, New York on Friday night.
Former first lady Hillary Clinton had a pretty good turn out for her book signing -- Book Revue of Huntington, Long Island was packed to capacity on Friday.
However, protestors were not too fond of the fact that Hillary was in town to support her book.
Talk Radio legend Bob Grant of WOR710 in New York interviewed Carl Limbacher and I as protestors shouted "Buy the next book, who's watching Bill, buy the next book, who's watching Bill."
Protestor Lisa Stripp was in complete disgust about the arrival of Hillary. When asked how she felt about Hillary running for President she was quick to say "Bring her on." She went on to comment that "very few times do you know where she is."
Raul Deming another protestor said, "I would like to see her President
of Cuba..."

Hillary's more wonk than writer
David Kipen, Chronicle Book Critic Thursday, June 12, 2003
Nobody scouring Hillary Clinton's cautious but admirable new memoir for revelations appears to have stuck around for the acknowledgments. On page 529, Clinton somewhat shockingly identifies her longtime right arm, Lissa Muscatine, as "[r]esponsible for many of the words in my speeches as first lady and in this book."
How's that again? Responsible for many of the words... ...in this book? If somebody else was responsible for many of the words, then what exactly was Clinton responsible for? The pictures? The typesetting? Hiring Lissa Muscatine?
Maybe in a culture where policy assistants routinely ghostwrite not just their bosses' speeches but even their signed op-ed pieces, where lazy pundits ridicule plagiarists for stealing other people's words but seem to think buying other people's words is standard operating procedure, this sort of thing flies.
Certainly, Clinton wouldn't be the first person to staff out part, or even all, of her autobiography. But for anybody still naive enough to consider written language the purest, unfudgeable fingerprint of a human soul, the admission rankles.
Whoever really wrote "Living History," it's not exactly a knock on Clinton to observe that the book reads as if written by a committee...

"I Love Hillary -- I don't care about the truth," a woman shouted from the open window of a minivan on New York Avenue in Huntington, Long Island, New York on Friday night. In a nutshell, the main reason we will NEVER be rid of the Hildebeast. These people are not interested in the truth, only in the perception that Hitlery actually has ANY concern for the 'little people' at all.

"Where will you be this time next week?"
Unfortunately, it's shaping up to be a work Saturday depending upon if a couple certain pieces of equipment (an oven and conveyor) are delivered on schedule during the week. How long do you anticipate the Freep will go on? I should be done by 12:30 or 1:00.
To: alisasny; firebrand; Doctor Raoul
Have you checked out the video :-)
My pics won't be ready until 4:00 today, was hoping earlier but they are very busy.

The video was good.
I should have said, " Hillary had no time to visit with the families of the victims of 911 but now suddenly since cash for her pocket is involved she has time to sign books and go on every talk show."
Oh well NEXT TIME : )

Can you imagine the size and expense of the SS security detail that must be accompanying Hillary on her book tour? Guaranteed, every stop on this book tour costs the taxpayers far more than whatever Hillary and her publisher take in. Talk about irony.

Nice hat = Nice Tie? I will now admit that I am intellectually challenged.

I think The "I love Hillary....I don't CARE about the truth"! could be the rallying cry for the Republicans!! It says all there is to say about Clinton supporters....dumb women and girly men!! You have to be STUPID to support that quote....which they are. I LOVE it!!
To: chicagolady
How a bout a sign that says..."Did you TIP your last waitress, Hillary"???or "Don't forget to TIP your waitress this time, Hillary". That brings up a great story!!!
