Hillary Book Tops a million!!

[newsguyatl]

Simon & Schuster announced today that Hillary Clinton's book has sold a million copies.



Clinton's book sales top 1 million
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has sold more than
1 million copies of her memoir "Living History," in almost
exactly a month, her publisher announced Wednesday.
"What has been particularly exciting is the speed with which it
has achieved such unprecedented sales levels," Simon & Schuster
executive Carolyn Reidy said in a statement.
The company ordered 1 million copies for the first printing, an
extraordinarily high number for a nonfiction book.
"Living History" hit stores June 9 amid a wave of publicity
and promotional appearances by the former first lady.
First-day sales topped 200,000, and the publisher quickly
announced that it would print even more copies to keep pace with
demand.
Clinton signed an $8 million deal to write the book, in which
she recounts, among other things, her personal pain and shock at
her husband's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
To promote sales, the New York Democrat launched a media blitz
and appeared at a number of book-signing events, where fans waited
on line for hours.
The intense public interest fueled speculation that Clinton may
someday run for president.
When Congress was in recess last week, she traveled to Europe
for a series of book-signing appearances.

[oneighty]

chewing and choking just like Nugent on that hunk of venison jerky

on cross fire a few months ago.

Hey Mr. Tucker, you want some fries with that?

[geniph]

4. Isn't that something, Tucker...

shoe tastes so much like crow - or humble pie!

Bon appetit, Tucker.

[jcgadfly]

5. And not the "edible footwear" either

I want him to eat the shoes his feet were in when he made the statement. :evilgrin:

[dbt]

11. AND THE TIE!!

Don't forget the tie! He said he's eat his tie, too. And now that honor and dignitude has been restored, now that the adults are in charge, I'm certain that he'll be a man of his word(s)!

:evilgrin:
dbt

[rocktivity]

30. That's what I'm thinking, Jcgadfly

He'll go to Govida Chocolates or someplace like that and have some custom chocolate shoes made. Either that, or he'll weasel out of it by claiming that he meant one million in AMERICAN sales!!!

rocknation

[deutsey]

6. Bon apetite, bonehead!

These boots are made for chewing and that's just what you'll do...


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :bounce:

[wheresthemind]

7. Think he is gonna do it today???

ooo, I'm excittteddd!

[undergroundrailroad]

12. Well, I think he has to do it today.

I wonder if they will just make a chocolate cake made to look like a shoe or a chocolate candy shoes. WHATEVER!

I PERSONALLY would like to SEE Tucker eat the shoe while James or Paul holds the HILLARY CLINTON BOOK UP IN HIS SMUG FACE!

JUST START EATING "CROW" TUCKER!

[diplomats]

14. How much do you want to bet he'll try to get out of it

by claiming the publisher is lying about the numbers - the way that horrid Lucianne Goldberg said the same thing after S&S announced HRC's book sold 200,000 the first day.

[GOPHater]

10. Too bad

Too bad we can't get Tucker together with the shoe bomber!

[BlueState]

13. Wolf Blitzer just mentioned it on CNN

He was joking about Tucker. Full story coming up soon.

[realFedUp]

[Skinner]

[ronnykmarshall]

24. New e-mail to Tucker

Mr Carlson,

Now that Hillary Clinton's book has sold over 1,000,000 copies, might a suggest a nice Prada shoe with a baked potato on the side?

Good eatin'!

[deutsey]

26. I sent him one right after I heard the news

:evilgrin:

[trof]

17. If I were Carlson

I'd bring in a plate of hush puppies and eat 'em.

JUSTIN WILSON'S HUSH PUPPIES

Justin Wilson says, "Hush puppy is an old Southern term that originated after the Civil War. People didn't have enough for themselves to eat let alone feed their dogs, so when the old hounds started barking from hunger, they would throw pieces of fried corn bread to them, yelling, 'Shut up, dog! Hush puppy!"

2 cups cornmeal
1 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
Ground cayenne pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons hot bacon drippings or oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (to taste)
Deep fat for frying

Combine all dry ingredients. Add eggs, buttermilk, onion, and oil or bacon drippings. Mix well. Drop in deep hot fat by spoonsful and brown on all sides.

[Ripley]

21. You forgot the jalapenos Trof!

Unless you use A LOT of cayenne pepper...that'd work too!

:hi:

20. Oh Tucker, dinner is ready.

I think he should be called on his "eat his shoe" comment. Come on folks, got some old crummy shoes you want to get rid of? Send them to Carlson!!!

Or how about this? Donate old shoes to a homeless shelter in his name. Why not send them to people that need them?

[trof]

23. Just on CNN again and the Carlson clip

Said he'd eat his shoes AND tie.
Now they have him on the phone.
He says he's actually gonna do it.

[trof]

25. on crossfire this evening

Begala and Carlson and, yep, this will come up.

[Old and In the Way]

27. May I suggest a good white whine with the sole, Tucker?

[Liberator_Rev]

28. Email Tuckie baby at

I don't know his personal email but he and his cohosts will ALL
get our messages if we send them to [email protected]
Here's what I just sent him:
" Dear Mr. Carlson,
Are you going to announce today WHEN and WHERE
you will be eating your footware, so that the millions who Hillary's book have bought
can see what they have wrought? Rev. Ray Dubuque,
For any Christian to be a "Conservative", when Jesus was such a revolutionary, is to be misinformed either about the true meaning of the word "Liberal" or about the life and teaching of Jesus. This site shows why people who aren't Liberals like Christ simply aren't following Christ's teaching, which is made abundantly clear at http://www.LiberalsLikeChrist.Org/Christlike ."


at http://www.LiberalsLikeChrist.Org .
WE are the Answer to the "Christian Coalition" & "Religious Right" .
YOU are the way to get the word out, because unlike THEM,
WE are the friends of the POOR and the downtrodden,
who can't give US the kind of support the RICH give to THEM

[Liberator_Rev]

32. I meant to ask a favor,

Since I've given up cable and won't be able to see the show, if they happen to use my poem, would you please email me at [email protected] to let me know?
Thank you.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

29. My e-mail to Crossfire

Dear Tucker,

I recommend Heinz 57 Sauce to go with that shoe. That will remind you not to put your foot in your mouth about the next smart and independent First Lady, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

***
(For the record, I support whoever gets the nomination, but couldn't resist this little jibe.)

[rocktivity]

31. "To Our 7/9/03 Crossfire participants..."

"For security reasons, we must ask all guests, employees, and spectators in the studio to remove their shoes."

Bon Appetit, Tucker!

33. Note that piece of Shit by Ann The Man

is Not even Top 5; and LA Times Bestseller list it isn't even top 15

But then again I didn't check the "Fiction" list...

:nuke:

[opihimoimoi]

34. Please note the propensity of those CLAP guys to LIE

Tucker has no credibility if he don eat the shoes

Already the shrub has no credibility for lying about the yellow cake in the SOTU address.

[bocadem]

35. EAT YOUR TIE

You smug little bastid! ;)

[Ivory_Tower]

36. I can't believe no one has done this yet.

Feel free to save it and improve it as you see fit.
