Clinton's Book Signings Draw Adoring Throngs

Maxine George was in an absolute swoon yesterday.

"What a wonderful guy,'' she said, buckling at the knees, throwing her head back and clutching "My Life'' to her chest. "He is so sexy.''

Ms. George, 49, executive director of a nonprofit organization, traveled from Schenectady, N.Y., to meet Bill Clinton at a book signing that turned into a marathon four-hour performance and helped Barnes & Noble sell a record number of books at its store on Fifth Avenue in Rockefeller Center, 2,217 copies, and at all Barnes & Noble stores across the country - more than 90,000 copies, by far a record for single-day sales for nonfiction, a spokeswoman for the chain, Mary Ellen Keating, said.

Publishing experts say Barnes & Noble stores and its Web site account for about 20 percent of total book sales, suggesting that Mr. Clinton may have sold 500,000 copies on the first day. That would put him on track to pay back his reported $10 million advance fairly quickly.

And it breaks the nonfiction record that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton appears to have set last year with 200,000 copies of her "Living History'' sold on its first day....

1. For a moment I thought the title read

"adoring thongs!"

LOL!!

My copy arrived yesterday and it nearly gave me a hernia lifting it out of the box. Read a few paragraphs and shook my head in amazement that once we had a president who was articulate and smart.... ah, those were the days.

3. Seelye the liar strikes again

and once again she slams the Big Dog and John Kerry

He looked me right in the eye and asked me my name,'' Mr. Spelman said. "You can never get tired of Bill Clinton, and unfortunately, that's one of John Kerry's problems.''

I'll bet my collection of Marx Brothers movies that this quote was fabricated.

I'm tired of reading this liar in the SCREW YORK TIMES!

5. Yes. She is a Bushevik Mockingbird, a liar and Whore

Media Whore, that is. I have no knowledge of whether she has ever perfomred sex acts for money.
