Hillary Book Tour to Hit Atlanta; says her book, crowds at signings reflect political malaise

Atlanta Journal Constitution ^ | Aug. 9, 2003 | Teresa Weaver

[dalebert]

The biggest crowd I have heard of so far was about 300 people. Not much for someone with so much free press coverage.

Do you think your husband's getting nervous about whether his memoir [to be published next year] will do as well?

There will be more lies in his book than hers had. This is the only couple ever known to have been in office for so long, who cannot remember ANYTHING until they decide to publish their memoirs which should be declared lies.

Q: You weren't exactly known for your sense of humor when you were first lady, but it has become a little more apparent since then. How important is a sense of humor in politics?

A: Well, I've always had one. [She laughs.] I guess I didn't have much chance to display it during the very difficult, challenging eight years of Bill's administration. But I don't see how you get through the day, let alone life, without a sense of humor. You have to be able to laugh at yourself and nearly everything else that's going on around you.

She was especially tickled - and just giggled like a schoolgirl! - when the Branch Davidians were flambeed, and when the USS Cole was bombed, and when the FBI files landed on her desk, and ...

Q: You weren't exactly known for your sense of humor when you were first lady...

A: Well, I've always had one. [She laughs.]

[hilaryrhymeswithrich]

I'll think about it.

Is there a FReep in the works? I know we have lots of FReepers in Georgia. I'd surely hate to see her get a pass anywhere in the country, but especially in the south.

Q: Have you read the other blockbuster book this summer: TREASON?

[Moby Grape]

If a ROCK STAR only drew 2000 people, they would be OVER...it is the PRESS calling this "rock star" recptions...The polls say she would get her big ass KICKED if she ran...PLEASE RUN HILLARY!!!!!

A: I think some of it is in part because of the positions we have taken and championed over the years. Some of it is because we are progressives, and some people get very intense in their opposition to the positions we take. I think it has a lot to do with the ongoing struggles in our country over what direction we should be heading.

I love it! She said it! So much for her trying to position herself as a centrist! This quote is a keeper. PROGRESSIVES are SOCIALIST/FASCIST control freaks.

[OldCorps]

I've never done a freep, but if ever there was reason to participate, this is the one. How about it folks, we need to freep the witch!

Any GA freepers out there who are up to doing their duty as red blooded americans?

[tgslTakoma]

I hope the FReepers in Jawjuh have a "welcoming team" ready for this Hillary! Fly-In. Just watch out for low-flying brooms, guys.

FReep on, Georgia!

.....and hearing what's on people's minds.

At six second clips.

On hilly's sense of humor:

I guess I didn't have much chance to display it during the very difficult, challenging eight years of Bill's administration.

We didn't find much amusing during bill's administration either.

"You know"

This wicked Bitch of Kosovo can't utter more than a sentence without filling in with these two words. Regardless of what the breathless imbeciles who worship at the Klinton altar think, this scum and the beast she's married two are two of the most boring, say-nothing duo to ever mount a stage.

You Know that HEAD BOBBING while trying to look cool/ smart is another shrillary signature.

[hellinahandcart]

I'm sorry, but that is a FUNNY title. Am I the only one who's giggling?

It's almost as funny as the Fox crawler in 2001, quoting Madeline Albright as saying that the Clinton Admin was unable to get Osama "due to lack of intelligence".

Having signed more than 20,000 books, by her own estimate

I'm sure passages like this assure the good people of New York that she's working darn hard for them.

[hellinahandcart]

I'm sure her husband's book will be a Memoir of Malaise as well...

[Bob J]

New York!

It's 9:00am...

Do you know where you're Senator is?

[Bob J]

No affiliated Free Republic Network chapter in Atlanta. We do have FReepers there, maybe a post on the State board?

[Eala]

>the crowds of up to 2,000 people who have given her rock-star receptions at book-signings across the country.
OK, how true is this, FReepers?

At the Seattle FReep Wednesday, the press said 1000 - 1100 turned out for a 2-hour signing.

Let's run the numbers: I didn't attempt a crowd count, but say it's 1100 in 2 hours, about 9 people a minute, or 6-1/2 seconds per person. That's enough time for each person to gush briefly while Her Royal Heinous signs the book or two. (On average I'd estimate roughly about 1-1/4 books per person.) And it was reported that her signatures did become somewhat truncated during the signing...

But based on this numbers 2000 is way too high. I'd doubt her hand could hold out for 4 hours. Unless they were letting in 2 people/book...

Does this help, NJAPF?
