Lots of spinning, but soon it's going to be layoffs time for 15% of Simon and Schuster employees thanks to Hillary's advance.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the Clintons bought thousands of her book. They can certainly afford to.

So a $14,000,000 advance divided by 100,000 sales (I’m being generous and allowing an extra 14K for all those — snicker — Hillary! ebook fans) means they’ve paid her $140 per sale. B&N is selling it for $21 online.

Who runs Simon & Schuster, former Obama economic advisers?

Shouldn't any book by the Clintons be titled When Good Things Happen to Bad People?

What difference does it make? Libs would vote for her if every page in the damn book was blank.

With the wholesale price of the book at, $10 which is generous, that is only $850,000 return. The book will be lucky to sell a total of 200,000. That would be a massive loss. The entire $14 million advance Plus several other millions for expenses.

No one LIKES her. No Body trusts her. She is all but intolerable. Yet, she is ‘inevitable’!

Rush reported his source at Simon and Shuster said they printed a million copies and they simply are not being sold

Another sad thing about this: the 2nd most popular book in America only sold 82,000 copies, i.e. people don’t read much anymore.

Well, if Simon & Schuster's sales don't cover the $14 million advance, they can just march right over to Hillary's place and demand she write them a check.

I'd cash it right away, boys. Just sayin'...

book that has dominated the political conversation

That's a laugh. My "political conversation" is much more concerned with a government that tries more each day to take my rights, my money, my freedom, and my guns. I give not a crap about Hillary, a statist elite crone who would be glad to do all four every day, and twice on Saturday.

And the publisher printed a million of them. Heh. Serves them right for laundering 14-million dollars to her.

A “Bomb”?

Hey, Bomb’s actually work. Which is more than we can say for this piece of lie stick.

I think everyone is missing the gambit here. By releasing Hillary’s ghost-written book at this time, she can stay in the spotlight without being in the political arena. This way she avoids any possibly difficult questions (except, “Are you running for President?”, which will be coyly evaded)while she spouts founts of focus-group tested phrases and bumper sticker platitudes.

She will throw her hat in the ring late in the campaign to avoid making her more haggard than she is. Behind the scene, the DNC black ops machine will reward S&S for their trouble.

Hillary Clinton’s Book Is The No. 2 Hardcover In First Week (It's officially a bomb...)

Oh, it's "number two" alright. A steaming dog-bomb.
