BOOKING LAYOFFS

Predictions in the slumping book industry that blockbusters like New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clintons tell-little biography would revive sales are dying fast.

She got her money, what does she care about anyone else?

Exactly. Besides, this is old news. Why can't we move on?

I'm hoping they go belly up

I think that they're part of the Coca-Cola conglomerate, so this pay-off probably applies across the board, in which case, the Coca-Cola conglomerate will bail them out.

Sorry, Simon and Schuster is affiliated with Viacom, owners of MTV, among other things. Sumner Redstone, President. So this is Sumner Redstone's payoff to the Clintons. Strange that his name hasn't surfaced in any press reports...

Hillary has already said she can't be responsible for every undercapitalized company in the US.

************************************

I do not believe I have ever heard her be willing to assume responsibility for ANYTHING! It's never HER fault!

Yuck. I detest that woman.

The upcoming multi-million $ book by Bubba is more of the same scam.

You are so right !! And just remember we have Clinton's Cookbook coming out soon.........another scam........surprising, though, how many duped people there are in this world ! They'll buy his 'cooked books', you can be sure....

This is the nascent Mainstream Media Shenanigans ping list. Please freepmail me to be added or dropped.
Please note this will likely become a high-volume list.
Also feel free to ping me if you come across a thread you would think worthy of the ping list. I can't catch them all!

"My Publisher gave Hillary Clinton a $10 million contract and all I got was this lousy pink slip!"

Now THAT is a future bumper sticker classic if ever I've seen one.

Exactly. I don't think the little people would like having their noses rubbed in that...
