Hillary's Book Sales Crash After 1st Week; Reviews Disastrous

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While Piketty's book was divisive, the reviews of Hillary Clinton's new book "Hard Choices" are downright one-sided - and terrible. That likely explains why, as AP reports, sales have crashed 44% after an already disappointing first week. "Hard Choices" sold just 48,000 copies in its 2nd week; and following the same dismal path as Greenspan, Cramer, and Geithner; has been discounted 40% on Amazon already.

 

As AP Reports,

Sales for Hillary Rodham Clinton's "Hard Choices" dropped sharply in its second week of publication, but her memoir remains the country's most popular adult nonfiction book.

 

According to Nielsen BookScan numbers released Wednesday, "Hard Choices" sold just over 48,000 copies last week, compared to around 85,000 the previous week. The figures do not include e-book sales. Publisher Simon & Schuster, which had announced that total first-week sales exceeded 100,000 copies, declined Wednesday to offer any numbers on the second week.

 

Sales are far behind the pace of her previous memoir, "Living History," which came out in 2003 and sold around 600,000 copies its first week.

 

The Amazon Reviews...

 

And the result - a 40% discount already...

 

we suspect the discounts will rise as...

It has been among the most publicized books of the year, with an advance print run of 1 million copies

Best Amazon review ever:

"The only "hard choice" I saw Hillary make was to stay married to Prez Bill after he stuck his uncut little cigar into every girl/woman/female in sight throughout his reign. Quite an example our Hillary set for her young daughter and the millions of young women who might look up to her, no? Marry for power and stick with it, no matter how soul-squashing or humiliating the experience is. Even if hubby thinks of women as human ashtrays, Chels, stay married just to leach off a little more of his power. Hard choices indeed.


Anywho, this book is pretty much everything you DON'T want from a memoir: dishonest, condescending, clueless, and - worst of all - dry as dust. And guess what? No matter how many hundreds of "Not Helpful" votes the Clinton Cronies slam this review with, and no matter how many fake five-star reviews they concoct, my one-star rating - and the HUNDREDS of other one-star votes that preceded mine and helped to give HC the two-star average she (and it) deserves - shall remain."

I like this concise reader review:

 

The hardest choice Hillary ever made was to choose to stay married to her philandering husband. Clearly she did this because of an obsession with power. A great model for women indeed.

As a foreign secretary she has not a single real and lasting accomplishment to her credit. As a politician she is utterly ruthless and cares nothing about destroying "little people".

The book is boring as dust, and incredibly self serving. Only hard-core Hillary fans, obsessed with the image, oblivious to the reality, could enjoy reading it. I could not finish it.

You are all missing the point to the book.

This book is a means to get soft political contributions. Only with e-books, you don't have thousands of copies to get rid of afterward. Expect her book sales to mysteriously increase once she gets serious about campaigning.

"I told them not to go with the scratch-n-sniff cover."

Scratch-n-sniff cover would have been good for the book's target audience (i.e. libtards).  Maybe they should have made it a coloring book since they obviosuly don't know how to read or think.  At least with a coloring book, they can draw outside the lines to show how creative and special they are!

I will also add the obligatory, republicans suck too.

To be fair, those one star reviews are probably 90% (or more) people who did not read one word of the book and simply hate her (or worse). If they did read the book, many would have given her at least two stars.

Were I Hillary's campaign adviser, I'd tell her that the Clinton family would look a lot better to the voting public if Chelsea were to work for a year or two as a Starbuck's barista. 

As is, I guess Chelsea's being awarded a big money bullshit tv job could cost Hillary tens of thousands of votes, nationwide.

this reviewer might have one thing backwards; there's a school of thought where bill is the one sucking up to hillary's power; not the other way around. hillary is a rodham; bill on the other hand was a bit trailer-trashy; so it looks like maybe bill actually married into the 'power', not the other way around. on the other hand, there are the accounts of bill having been groomed from a young age for a 'power position'. maybe it's all just an arranged marriage. anyway, obviously hillary's feminism is 'flexible'.

That's pretty sexist thing to say, do you say the same thing to your wife, daughter, mother, or any other female family members?

To comment on her political position is one thing but to call her out because of her gender can only be understand as misogyny. Calling out gender discriminatory names is like blaming 50% of population because of what one woman does but not counting the fact that countless men have done things a lot worst than her to this nation.

Please try see and comment in gender neutral terms, it's only fair for the 50% of the population to see some progress in this century.

The fact that anyone can still consider Hillarnazi a viable candidate is testimony to the power of the press. She has fairly serious heart disease, a coagulopathy, and she truly believes that while having over $100 million, she's not "that well off". Can anyone be more out of touch? She is the Butcher of Benghazi, defended a criminal who raped a 12 year old child, has a pile of bodies at least 80 people high and growing, was kicked off the Watergate investigation team for being unethical, Chelsea isn't Bill's kid, and she is STILL considered the front runner for the democrat party. Un-frigging-believable. I don't know if that says more about the press or about our apathetic populace. And, oh yeah, her husband is a serial rapist.

Just so everyone here can understand why self-serving sociopathic lawyers should never be allowed to hold the keys to power...

 

"Fast-forward to the Washington Free Beacon recently gaining access to a recorded interview that was archived at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, now dubbed the Hillary Tapes

On those tapes, the woman in pursuit of the ultimate power can be heard giggling about how she singlehandedly managed to get the rapist of a 12-year-old child a lesser charge of unlawful fondling of a minor under the age of 14. Self-professed women’s advocate Hillary Clinton’s defense effectively lowered a five-year prison sentence to four years of probation with one year in county jail, which was then reduced to 10 months for time already served.

During the trial,a little girl was put through what she now, at age 52, describes as “hell” by none other than Hillary Clinton, whose defense strategy was to “impugn the credibility of the victim,” a skill Mrs. Clinton has continued to honeover the years.  Case in point: Hillary calling Monica Lewinsky “a narcissistic loony toon.”

Hillary had zero compunction about exploiting the tried-and-true “putting the victim on trial” technique on a young girl. After accusing the 12-year-old rape victim of seeking out older men, Hillary, who Bill once called “smartest woman in the world,” deceitfully used that allegation to request that the injured child undergo a psychiatric evaluation.

 

Simply disgusting classic Clintonesque behavior.

Goodbye, good riddance

 

TO the delight of the White House, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard is leaving Washington. Time and again his stories on the Clintons and their abuses of power have been proved correct. He leaves with a warning for Americans

"It was something of a compliment, I suppose, when the White House singled me out for attack in their report on the media "food chain" assault against the Clintons. Now, apparently, the President's men are relishing the prospect of my departure after four years as Washington correspondent for The Telegraph - the notorious London "tabloid", as they call it.

"That's another British invasion we're glad is over," the White House told George magazine. "The guy was nothing but a pain in the ass."

Good. Let me state for the record that I was not sent to Washington as part of a British government plot to destabilise the Clinton Administration in revenge for US meddling in Ulster. Or at least, I don't think I was. Contrary to assertions made in a Congressional hearing, I have never worked for British military intelligence, or MI5, or MI6, or for that matter MI7.5 - the fabled Welsh branch!

No, I found my own way into a spitting match with President Clinton. It was the last thing I expected upon arriving in Washington, for I had succumbed to the Clinton charm years before at a meeting of the Democratic Leadership Council. As for Hillary, I was rather taken by her image of flinty altruism.

Disappointment was swift, however. I was stunned when the new President - barely installed in the White House - repudiated his campaign promise for a tax cut. It was downhill from there.

The Clintons look good from a distance. As Yale Law School graduates they have mastered the language and style of the mandarin class. It is only when you walk through the looking glass into the Arkansas underworld they came from that you begin to realise something is horribly wrong.

You learn that Bill Clinton grew up in the Dixie mafia stronghold of Hot Springs, and that his brother, Roger, was a convicted drug dealer who was once taped during under-cover surveillance saying "got to get some for my brother, he's got a nose like a vacuum cleaner". You learn about sworn testimony that links Clinton to cocaine smuggling in the early 1980s. You learn that Clinton's chief of security in Little Rock was gunned down in 1993 by assassins who seem to be enjoying immunity.

Oh, yes, and let us not forget the allegation that Bill and Hillary helped empty a bank called Madison Guaranty - but I will leave that to the special prosecutor, Kenneth Starr.

Bill Clinton is not the first president with the skeletons of the mob in his closet. Harry Truman, for instance, was a protege of the Pendergast crime machine in Kansas City. All you have to know about Bill Clinton is that he chose Patsy Thomasson - top lieutenant of convicted cocaine dealer Dan Lasater - to be his White House chief of personnel.

Once that has sunk in, you can start to understand how seriously this president has been compromised, and how much of a threat he could pose to the democratic system if allowed to get away with incremental abuse at a national level.

The Clintons wasted little time taking charge of the US Justice Department. All US Attorneys were asked to hand in their resignations. It was a move of breath-taking audacity, one that gave the Clintons control over the prosecutorial machinery of the federal government in every judicial district in the country.

They then set about eliminating the Director of the FBI, William Sessions, who was known for his refusal to countenance White House interference in the affairs of the Bureau. The post of FBI Director is supposed to be a 10-year appointment that puts it above politics. But Sessions was toppled in a Washington putsch, without a murmur of protest from America's press, and replaced by the hapless errand boy Louis Freeh. And I almost forgot, the Clintons installed their friend Webster Hubbell as "shadow" Attorney General - until Hubbell was jailed for Arkansas crimes.

When you are living through events day by day it is hard to know whether you are witnessing a historic turning point, or just mistaking the usual noise of politics for something meaningful. But there is no doubt that strange things have been going on in America.

The Clinton era has spawned an armed militia movement involving tens of thousands of people. The last time anything like this occurred was in the 1850s with the emergence of the southern gun clubs. It is easy to dismiss the militia as Right-wing nuts: it is much harder to read the complex sociology of civic revolt. At the very least the militias reveal the hatred building up against the irksome yuppies who run the country.

It is under this president that domestic terrorism has become a feature of life in America, culminating in the destruction of the Oklahama federal building on April 19, 1995. What set the deadly spiral in motion was the Waco assault two years before, and the cover-up that followed.

No official has ever lost a day's pay for precipitating the incineration of 80 people, most of them women and children, in the worst abuse of power since Wounded Knee a century ago. Instead of shame and accountability, the Clinton administration accused the victims of setting fire to themselves and their children, a posthumous smear that does not bear serious scrutiny. It then compounded the injustice by pushing for a malicious prosecution of the survivors.

Nothing does more to sap the life of a democracy than the abuse of power. Public trust is dangerously low. According to polls, barely a quarter of the American people now feel that they can count on the federal government to do the right thing.

A majority refuse to accept that Vincent Foster committed suicide, and they have good reason for their doubts. The paramedics and crime scene witnesses in Fort Marcy Park on July 20, 1993, tell a story that flatly contradicts the official findings. A police Polaroid shows a .22 calibre bullet wound in Foster's neck that the autopsy somehow failed to note. Are Americans to believe that Hillary Clinton's closest friend shot himself twice, with two different guns?

The Washington press corps has chosen not to report on this sort of thing, of course, because it always gives more weight to the utterings of an "official" source, with a title, than it does to the testimony of a common citizen. It has the matter backwards, in my opinion, because the "official" usually has the greater interest in lying.

Even so, the truth is getting out. Unauthorised stories are reaching the public through the samizdat links of the Internet and talk radio. From there it disseminates by word of mouth, spreading a thick layer of cynicism across the country.

Of all the bad things that Clinton has done to America, the worst is turning the FBI into a federal replica of the Arkansas State Police. Whether it is the persecution of dissident investigators in the air disasters of Pan Am 103 and TWA 800, or allowing the White House to peruse the secret files of political opponents, or the alledged intimidation of key witnesses in the Foster case, the FBI is starting to look like the enforcement arm of a police state.

The latest shocker is the decision to punish Frederic Whitehurst, the whistle-blower who first came forward with tales of corruption at the FBI crime labs. An internal inquiry has conceded that the lab tilted evidence "to incriminate the defendants" and cooked up the theory that a fertiliser bomb blew up the Oklahoma federal building after it found fertiliser at the house of a suspect, Terry Nichols. But the Justice Department seems more interested in denigrating Whitehurst, the lone hero of this sorry tale, than flagellating itself.

Look at the treatment of Carol Howe, the undercover informant who tracked the early stages of what appears to be the Oklahoma bombing conspiracy. The moment she surfaced as a threat to the "lone bomber" case against Timothy McVeigh, this January, she was indicted on criminal charges.

The FBI claims that she was dropped as an informant months before the bombing, but debriefing reports show the Bureau continued to receive her intelligence weeks after the blast. They also show that she named members of a neo-Nazi terrorist cell who had cased the Oklahoma federal building in December 1994 with the intention of bombing it. Yet the FBI did not follow up her reports. It conducted 26,000 witness interviews, most of them irrelevant, but could not find time to pursue the suspects who were specifically named by a paid informant.

This leaves the nasty suspicion that the FBI is shielding this neo-Nazi group in order to cover its own tracks. If it turns out that the bombing was a bungled sting operation by the FBI, as some of the victims are now alleging, the only fit response is to send bulldozers down Pennsylvania Avenue to flatten the Hoover Building once and for all.

A monument should be raised on the rubble of the FBI headquarters that reads Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? (Who Shall Guard the Guards?) as a warning to free-born Americans of the next millennium.

Is Bill Clinton to blame? Of course he is. Degradation spreads from the top down. Four years were damaging enough. Another four, if Clinton lasts, will do real harm to the institutions of the US federal government.

Perhaps it is impolite for a London newspaper to say such things about a president of the United States. Many people think so. Clinton is not so bad, the argument goes. He is running a pretty good economy. The planes are flying on time. But you could have said the same about Benito Mussolini. A lot of people did, in fact, much to their regret later.

Critics tell me that I have invested too much emotion in my quarrel with the Clintons. To that I plead guilty. It comes from befriending so many of their victims. I am content to be blacklisted as the "mad scribbler" - as the Washington Post called me this week - for I am confident that one day historians are going to view Clinton as a the last great cad of the 20th century, or worse.

To the American people I bid a fond farewell. Guard your liberties. It is the trust of each generation to pass a free republic to the next. And if I know you right, you will rouse yourself from slumber to ensure exactly that."

Considering what has happened since 1997 when this piece was written, it's pretty prophetic no?
