Hillary has "village" to write her autobiography
From Drudge so the link will move after a while, and he can't stand Hillary anyway so the truth in this is a little iffy. But it's funny.In her new book, LIVING HISTORY, Hillary Rodham Clinton acknowledges -- in opening pages -- three women for their assistance and contribution to the project, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned. As Drudge says, "it takes a village". Clinton, who is scheduled to receive an $8 million advance for the book, thanks author Maryanne Vollers, former Clinton speechwriter Lissa Muscatine and writer Ruby Shamir, sources reveal. I rather wonder whether these three cloistered themselves in a room and told Hillary, "shuddup and wait for us to finish!" Clinton raised eyebrows in 1996 when she failed to acknowledge a single person in her bestseller, IT TAKES A VILLAGE. Not even ghostwriter Barbara Feinman [ who was paid $120,000] was mentioned. Clinton claimed she wrote the book entirely on her own. The omission created bad publicity, and according to press reports, it also prompted Feinman to strike back by telling Bob Woodward about Clinton's "seances" with Eleanor Roosevelt. Couldn't have happened to a nicer lady. Reminds me of the Charles Barkley autobiography. Some people got angry at the things Charles said about them. His response? "I was mis-quoted."
