Hillary bedeviled by protesters

Protesters have become a regular feature at book signings by Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), but so far, according to Clinton's publisher, Simon & Schuster, they haven't hurt sales.

Now Clinton may have another problem that could: conservative blonde nemesis Ann Coulter and her new bestseller, Treason.

Living History, Clinton's book, continues to do a brisk business, yet by the beginning of the week Coulter's anti-liberal tome had buried it on Amazon's nonfiction bestseller list. Treason started the week in the No. 1 spot, while Living History had fallen out of the top 10.

Unfazed, Clinton has kept a heavy schedule of appearances. By her estimate, she's signed 10,000 copies of her memoirs.

"I try to look at people," she told Newsday. "I give [them] five or six or seven seconds to say something. Some are tongue-tied, some have a whole speech prepared, some give me letters."

Considering the number of protesters she attracts, Clinton said, she's surprised she hasn't received more negative comments at book signings. For security reasons Simon & Schuster has never posted her appearances on its website.

"One man in a devil's costume . . .has been following me for three years," Clinton said.

The devil didn‚t show a week ago when she signed books at a store in Huntington, N.Y., but there was a guy dressed in desert fatigues and a Hillary mask calling himself "Rodham Hussein."

Heh-heh!

BTW, I've read every after-action report from the Hildebeest freeps, and I do not remember her any accounts of her "listening" to any disagreement, especially from freeper forces.

Bedeviled?!

Sean Hannity played the hellary audio book bites, too. A female caller, foaming at the mouth, called Sean and really hammered him for making fun of her. Poor Sean was taken aback, but ended up laughing his head off!

" 'I try to look at people,' she told Newsday."

..."As long as they keep their eyes properly downcast", she added. "If they look me in the eye, I turn into a flaming lunatic, breath smoke and shriek obscenities."

Two books about witches - seems right.

"Buy Together Today: $34.79"

That is really sick.

[CFC__VRWC]

Maybe that is due to the fact that Hillary's book has been discounted up to 30% and maybe even more !! "Treason" wasn't on 'sale' when I bought my copy.

I picked my copy of Treason up today on my lunch break. I actually got it for 30% off at the Barnes & Noble here in Lakeland (FL). Annie's book was actually well-displayed, right up front on the bestsellers shelves, directly below the display of Her Heinous' bound pack of lies. To be completely fair, this is a very conservative area, so the B & N folks must know they can't get away with the "hide the conservative's book" antics they pull in so many other parts of the country.

Anyway, there were only three copies of Annie's book left (two after I made my purchase), while the shelf space reserved for the Beast was full! The clerk, who was very nice, said that Treason was flying off the shelves, and that she might have to read it herself to see why it was so popular. Warmed the cockles of my heart, it did.

Unfortunately, now I have to work the rest of the day before I can go home and start reading Treason - it's going to be a loooooooong afternoon.

"I focused on the pictures and selected bits for the flavor thereto."

Oh man....THANK HEAVEN I am out of caffeinated beverages and haven't gotten a refill yet!

Do you have any idea how hard it is to laugh out loud while suffering a serious case of the creeps??

That "review" is as creepy as it is ridiculously funny...IF it's parody, it's BRILLIANT.

They should change the title of Chrissy's show to "NO BALLS"!!

Ann's book is #2 while the liers book is gasping for air.

Shameless.

[DPB101]

Best part of this is the article is from "The Hill" which I assume most staffers in Congress read.

[sauropod]

Not true. She has done them at CPAC.

[TheSpottedOwl]

It's the only way they can move this piece of trash. They seem a little desperate offering that kind of discount :)

[Seeking the truth]

Hey pod.

Living My Lies

[TheSpottedOwl]

Maybe she has a crush on him. Why else would she notice him? Him=The Devil :) Ohhhhh baby, I know you want me...

"One man in a devil's costume . . .has been following me for three years," Clinton said.

Two things to remember:

1.) It's been quite longer than three years, and

2.) That is NOT a costume...
