7. Great to learn who the 2nd place winner was!
HA!

You did the right thing, Hillary.

"NEW YORK - He's no Harry Potter, but Bill Clinton is still a record breaker. Clinton's "My Life" sold more than 400,000 copies in the United States on in its first day of release, the *most* ever for a nonfiction book and double the believed previous record holder, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's "Living History."

Drudge posts bullshit and half the media repeats it as facts, even though he is rarely right.

3. Our House Was One of the 400,000.
I have already cheated and hit the index in the back on everything Clinton has to say about Kenneth Starr. Excellent stuff!

5. I've just looked at the pictures -- they're worth buying the book...
Clinton, unlike Bush, surrounded by PEOPLE -- including folks like his Secret Service agents, and the White House domestic staff. Clinton marching among a huge crowd of people in Selma, at a commemoration. Clinton playing cards with his staff. Clinton hugging Chelsea as she graduated from Sidwell-Friends....

8. Bought mine yesterday....
I love that all the "so-so" book reviewers in the media are getting their comeuppance along with the rabid r-wingers. I love it that the Clintons are making their marriage work and seem to have it all together and are making a bundle while the Ken Starrs of the world are seething in jealousy because they are a bunch of ugly nerds who couldn't get a woman if they tried. Tee hee.
