I CAN REMEMBER THE EXACT MOMENT I BECAME A CLINTON-HATER
It was three minutes ago, when I read this:
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., earned $2.4 million in royalties from her book of memoirs, Living History, last year, according to Bloomberg News, citing a financial disclosure filed with the U.S. Senate.

The book, published by Simon & Schuster in June 2003, generated $2.3 million in royalties for Mrs. Clinton during its first year of publication. Royalties for her 1996 book, It Takes a Village, rose to $10,012 last year, compared with $1,238 in 2003.
On the other hand, I can take strange and surprising consolation from the fact that The Night We Met apparently outsold It Takes a Village in 2003.
