Does anyone really read her books, or even listen to her droning speeches?
Nice "work" if you can get it. m/r

It's the summer of Hillary Clinton -- but not exactly on her terms.
Clinton had planned a triumphant return to the political arena with the campaign-style rollout of her new memoir, Hard Choices. The book's first printing of 1 million copies showed that her publisher expected a good return on its $14 million advance, especially since Clinton's book tour would receive the kind of blanket coverage accorded a prospective presidential candidate.
But sales of the book have been disappointing, with only about 200,000 hard copies having sold so far. And while Clinton has received extensive media attention, much of it has focused on her missteps, notably her assertion that she and her husband Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House in January 2001.
Still, Clinton has become the most valuable name in the publishing industry this summer, although only in part because of her own memoir. She and former President Clinton have also inspired three other heavily promoted books, all by right-leaning authors: Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. The Obamas by Ed Klein; Clinton, Inc.: The Audacious Rebuilding of a Political Machine by Daniel Halper; and The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents by Ronald Kessler, parts of which have been leaked ahead of its Aug. 5 release.
Klein’s Blood Feud, in spite of its many dubious claims and some outright fact errors, surpassed Clinton’s memoir recently to become the No. 1 New York Times bestselling nonfiction work. Even after it fell a few spots this week, it still outsold Hard Choices.
