NYT: Senator Clinton Offers a Cure for Foot-in-Mouth Disease

"It was a trip," Mr. Carlson said in an interview later. "I had no idea she was coming. My producer had said: `We're changing the segment. Ignore your scripts.' I said: `Well, gee, Sam, it's live television. I'd kind of like to know.' Next thing I know, this woman who looks exactly like Hillary Clinton is standing there."

One aspect of Mrs. Clinton will soon begin looking different: her bank account. After the book sells about 1.3 million copies, Mrs. Clinton's $8 million advance will have been met, and she will begin earning 15 percent of sales, or about $4.20 per book sold, her lawyer, Robert Barnett, said.

CNN replayed the shoe walk-on several times. Mr. Carlson, who called the book "kind of dopey, kind of Midwestern-fifth-grade-girl-scout-leader," said he was impressed with Mrs. Clinton in person.

"I'm easily charmed in general and I'm particularly won over by witty inscriptions, and she had a good inscription," he said. "If Pol Pot came on the show and was charming and witty and good humored and had a good inscription, I'd say, `Well, Pol Pot, charming guy.' "
