Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly plugged her forthcoming memoir while carving out a tough stance on Iran — declaring that “no deal is better than a bad deal” with Tehran — in a speech Wednesday before an influential Jewish group.
Taking the stage at the American Jewish Committee, Clinton referenced the many months she committed to “writing and rewriting” her book, set to come out next month. One feel-good excerpt already leaked around Mother’s Day.
“It’s nice being out of my attic and being here in support of all of you,” she quipped.
Clinton joked that the book would be “a light summer read that I’m sure will be great at the beach,” then delivered a dense foreign policy speech centered around “hard choices” — the book’s title.

If I want to read Fiction I would prefer just about anyone else.
I am sure Amazon and the NYT will be more than happy to move it to the best seller list. Always glad to help an old fiend.
SHE’s flopping. The dems don’t know what to do about it either
They thought Bill & Hillary would be there forever like gods. Their mortality is apparent. They dragged out Bill. He’s out there slurring his words looking only slightly better than Mooch at running their foreign policy, while Cruz travels as Senator to the Ukraine, as Trey Gowdy, steely eyed and informed tunes up in the orchestra pit, so to speak
They have no one
And Karl rove even looks somewhat wise, reasonably questioning her health, good or bad timing aside
The millenials ARE going to be in charge of cleaning up this mess. And they are voting in 2016.
They’re reading their news not from the McLaughlin group nor candy Crowley but straight from the Internet. And the dems are far behind in that arena
Hillary is NOT appealing to them
She hasn’t kept up, not to mention how wretched she is
“I Don’t Recall” would have been a more appropriate title for her book.
Hillary’s book is just a means of laundering money for her. Some unheard of outfit will buy five million copies and Hillary will receive her payoff money for destroying the government of Libya.
Nothing but a bunch of grifters.
He has lesions all over his face. Not even the makeup dept at their own media site could cover it up
Well, Miss M, it’s like I always say. Not enough of the electorate know Shakespeare, which, among other criteria, renders them ineligable to vote,
Nor do they accept that characters and their interactions repeat themselves and even we are susceptible to their destructive power
These people morph from Caesar to Macbeth to Richard and everyone in between
Truly
“Hard Choices!?” That should be the title of Bubba’s book.
Hers: “I Don’t Recall: What Difference, At This Point, Does It Make! [Tall Tales From the Dain-Bramaged]”
And put it on the Crime Novel shelf in the Fiction section.
Shakespeare and the Bible (St. James version) must, must, must be taught to American children.
But I must differ on your opinion of Richard. He’s a hero of mine. Of course, I also love Shakespeare’s Richard - a cunning anti-hero.
Clinton is a true pig with piggy eyes. My pervdar goes into overdrive whenever he appears on tv.
There’s a Richard II and Richard II. One’s good and one is bad. and without looking it up, I am always afraid of getting it wrong.
Both are portrayed expertly on film, BTW, Derek Jacobi portrays the good one and Olivier the bad.
Wonderful stuff.
I taught Shakespeare to sixth through ninth graders.
My friend and colleague, the history teacher, used to say, “ugh, everyone hates Shakespeare, you know!”
she always turned down my invitations to join class and see for herself.
To see a group of ninth graders, after having read and learned about Katherine and Petrucchio watching, at one in the afternoon, Taylor and Burton, intently, and laughing at every appropriate line, is a ... well, kids really do get Shakespeare.
And you’re right, they need to be taught it, it’s psychology and political science in action, just for starters.
Let’s face it. Anyone who has a brain KNOWS Hillary Clinton is enough to gag a maggot on a gut barrel.
The bible, as well. Of course, we Catholics have no objection to the King James version.
Richard II was a weak king who as murdered in private a la Henry 6. I’m pretty sure he was gay, lol. Derek Jacobi gave a very good performance in this.
Richard the III was a good, strong king whose reputation was trashed by the Tudors. Olivier made a brilliant movie out of the Shakespeare version.
I’ve been lucky, being dragged to London for over 40 years to see the greatest Shakespearean performances. And sometimes we have a good production in NYC - but rarely. I like the Burton/Taylor version - it’s very nice.
Kids would absolutely love the Olivier Richard - although I disapprove of children learning about this interesting king through the play.
Well, the English language is superb. The Catholic bible not so much. I’m Catholic, too.
Yes, That’s why I’m reluctant to but drawn to referencing the Richards.
I studied both in the same course over the same period of time and then never again. So they morph into each other.
I remember it as opposite, re Olivier’s Richard being good, but maligned, though I think you must be correct.
He had a bad streak?
THe Jacobi Richard was weak, an dlocked up. I remember him very well, in some scenes.
You are very fortunate to have been able to see such great performances.
Burton and Taylor are just very good for the high schoolers here
And it illustrates how they really do get the story.
The sixth grade boys studies a few plays, but loved Romeo and Juliet. Go figure.
We like to read the Magnificat daily, it’s not a problem for us.
Gives a good bible study, chronologic, and all.
Olivier’s Richard is wonderfully funny. Richard II was in the 14th Century, Richard III at the end of the 15th. He was succeeded by the Tudors.
Zefferelli’s Romeo and Juliet is good for teenagers despite a very brief nude scene. Some of the supporting cast are great stalwarts of 60s British theater.
