Wow!

1. Dayum!

Former President Bill Clinton's memoir, My Life, has exhausted its first printing of 1.5 million copies — and it hasn't even arrived in bookstores yet.

Clinton's publisher will not release the thousand-page book until June 22, but a second printing will be needed, two industry sources said Thursday. The reason is that customers across the nation have placed so many advance orders at outlets ranging from independent bookstores to retail giants such as amazon.com. There was no indication Thursday how large the second printing will be.


Eat it, reichwingers! :evilgrin:

2. Whooo Hoooo, Yipee and WTG Bill!

This is great news, thanks for posting it!

[AlCzervik]

3. You know what's great about this besides the obvious?

His book title won't have any little daggers next to it on the NYT bestseller list, daggers indicating bulk sales.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. I wonder how many are being bought by rightwingers to burn

at their Christian Youth Group and/or Christian United In Hate meetings.

Suckers!! Burn a million of 'em! Every one you burn is money in Bill's pockets, morans!

5. As the Marvelettes would say...

Don't Mess With Bill
The Marvelettes (Written by Smokey Robinson)

Hey give me a minute - gotta tell you something:
Don't mess with Bill
Don't mess with Bill (Don't mess with Bill)
Say it one more time! (Don't mess with Bill)

etc. etc. etc...

:toast:

8. How many pages

does this book exactly have?

[redqueen]

10. The story at the link said it was a 'thousand-page book'

Don't know if that's an exact count, tho.

Go Big Dog! :D

[lancdem]

11. I think it's around 950?

[mark0rama]

15. I've also heard they skimped a little on the type size...

...to keep the page count from being even higher.

That's our Bill, he likes to talk!

[TexasSissy]

9. Wow. That speaks "volumes" doesn't it?

Pun intended.

[Gloria]

June 20 60 Minutes CBS
June 21 Metropolitan Mus. of Art, party for 1000
June 22 Oprah
June 23 Today Show NBC and Good Morning America ABC

[Athletic Grrl]

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

23. No, sorry to disappoint you.

It's Molly's old book. Amazon was running a special on the two together, so I ordered both. Sorry, I got your hopes up.

[lancdem]

18. Me, too!

[Blue Gardener]

19. Mine's ordered too!

I'll be waiting by the mailbox with breathless anticipation!

[Mountainman]

16. I wonder if the freepers have tried giving it a bad review yet

I'll bet on June 22 the second it hits the stores some freeper will give it a bad review.

[Eloriel]

17. Harry Thomason said on Deborah Norville, when asked,

that he thought Clinton's book "would eclipse all others."

Sounds like he was right. Already.

20. I LOVE IT.... and I love bill,,,

This book will be well written, truthful, and readable, unlike the great white trash books that Bill O'Reiley, Ann Coulter, and the rest of the "right wing coo coo's" have written that they might just quit trying to write their slander and lies and take up knitting instead. When the right-wing write their lies on paper it is much easier to hold them responsible because it is all right there in black and white. They can't just shout and holler their heads off like they DO on TV..... This has to kill them because they can no longer keep all the attention on their- 'SAINT RONALD PAGEANT' ...... The Bloody mess which is Iraq and the rest of the miserable failures will soon creep back on to the front page .....Then they will have to work real hard to keep the Clinton success's off the news,,,, WILL ANYTHING GO RIGHT FOR THE A--hole's ever again or has the karma and all their lies all caught up with them.......

21. Great!! If you can't run with Big Dog then stay on the porch....

Way to go President Clinton,can't wait to get my copy.
