Hillary Clinton coming to Books & Books [FReep Hillary, South Florida]

Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose acutely anticipated political and personal memoir Living History vaulted to the top of The New York Times bestseller list following its release in June, will be in South Florida to sign copies of the book on Dec. 16.

The senator from New York and former first lady is scheduled to appear at 4 p.m. at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables. Starting Friday, vouchers for copies of the $28 book will be available there and at Books & Books' sister store at 933 Lincoln Rd., Miami Beach. Each voucher will entitle the purchaser to one copy, which may be claimed at the time of Clinton's appearance. She will sign only books that have been purchased via the vouchers.

Living History, which perched at the top of the Times' bestseller list for five weeks and has sold millions of copies for Simon & Schuster, also helped pique interest in subsequent political memoirs by other well-connected female writers, including Madeleine Albright's Madam Secretary and Barbara Bush's Reflections: Life at the White House.

For more information on Clinton's appearance, call 305-442-4408.

Hoping that some of our fine South Florida FReepers will take the ball and run with it. Organize a peaceful protest of Hillary. The Republic you save could be your own!

Having personally protested Hillary 4 times last summer here in the DC area, I can attest that FReeping Hillary is an exhilarating and memorable experience. Don't miss the opportunity.

If you need help, just ask.

Generally speaking, you can only protest on public property from the curb in a few feet. You can't block the sidewalk.

Getting a permit is rarely required, absent large numbers of protestors. If you're concerned, call the local police station and talk to their desk officer about a lawful protest. In most cities, a permit is only required if you have more than a certain number of people (I think that it is 25 in DC). Find out what the rules are (usually straightforward) and follow them.

FReep Hillary! You'll be glad that you did!

So Hillie, who couldn't even write her own memoirs, is taking credit in any success by Halfbright and Mrs. Barbara Bush???

Delusions of grandeur much?!

[MegaSilver]

I go to college at the University of Miami in Coral Gables. I'll contact the UM College Republicans on Monday and see what they can cook up.

[corkoman]

wow - she is wading into injun territory. better wear your black pantsuit mis klinton.

[StilettoRaksha]

She will be signing at other bookstores in South Florida too.

[BillF]

Got any info on which ones and when?

I have this one: 12/16/03 10:30 AM at Barnes & Noble – West Forest Hill Blvd. Wellington, FL.

[sweetliberty]

Dang! We should start titling these Hillary booksigning FReep threads: The Book-signing Tour That Wouldn't Die! Ot maybe: The Never-ending Booksigning Tour (and Freak Show).

[BillF]

Pinging all of Florida. Something wicked your way comes.

I'm in DC area, but hope that some of you Florida FReepers can peacefully protest Hillary at this event.

Would one of you FL FReepers kindly post this info to the Florida local board?

Also, apparently there are other book signings in your state. Please let me know if you find out any info about them. At this stage, I only have some limited info about a Dec 16 morning book signing in Wellington, FL. (I'll start a separate thread about that.)

Hillary is so warm and personable. A real "people" person.

[windchime]

Bump!

[MegaSilver]

Would one of you FL FReepers kindly post this info to the Florida local board?

Done.

Unfortunately, I myself will be absent, as I am flying to Colorado for Christmas at precisely 3 PM that day. :(

[FreeKnight]

Must be "Books and Kooks" after her idiot rant about Bush!

[LisaMalia]

Ole' crusty should be nice and "gamey" after that trip to Afghanistan. Be sure to hold your noses, Florida FReepers!

[BillF]

Thank you.

Have a great trip to Colorado and a Merry Christmas!

[Bars4Bill]

I've seen people lined up at a Barnes & Noble to plunk down $28 for Hillary's toilet papers bound into hardcover.

A very sad sight indeed. Freepers in south FL take note of the countenance and intelligence level of the buyers of "Living History."

[GladesGuru]

DOn't assume the Sheeple are not intelligent, for some are.

But - when your Mommie was a Commie, then you tend to be a Liberal democrat regardless of the facts.

And don't forget that much of the Gables is now Cuban; Cubans seem to make very poor Liberal Democrats/socialists. 'Possum Man made that mistake - he actually thought that a large influx of refugees from Cuba/Fidel/Communism would consist of voters sure to vote Democratic.

Oops, sorry for not explaining the 'Possum Man. It is a favored nick name for President Carter because he was the butt of a biology joke which asked which vertibrate had more teeth than a 'possum?

I am curious as to how the Miami Cubans will respond to her sales efforts. This could be interesting.

THANK YOU, BillF, for posting BOTH "FReep Hillary in Florida" threads!

That calls for two separate FReeps, Wellington and Coral Gables are about 80 miles apart, she'll take her broom and we'll be stuck in traffic;) She obviously has no desire to spend too much time with the unwashed peasantry!;)

[JZoback]

Who would pay $28.00 for a door stop?

[metalboy]

Hitlery is still campaigning for Prez, oh, I mean doing her "book tour"
