Yo Dude, this is right up your alley
LINKY
The only thing I want to know is why she'd stay with a cheater? Wanna bet that's not in the book. Doesn't matter, I know the answer. She's a weak woman. Period.
You dude, you have a woody right now?

One million copies of Hillary Clinton's memoirs to hit bookstores
WASHINGTON -- After shelling out a seven-figure advance for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's memoirs, her publishers are counting on seven-figure sales. The long-awaited book about her years in the White House will have a first printing of one million copies, her lawyer told the Associated Press.
The 576-page tome, entitled "Living History," will be released June 9. An audio version, read by Clinton, will be released the same day.
"Only a small handful of books have a 1-million-copy first printing, and I cannot think of another nonfiction book in recent history that has had that large a first printing," Robert Barnett, Clinton's lawyer, said Sunday.
Judging by orders already received for Clinton's memoirs, "there are going to be a lot of people buying this book," said Barnett.
The First Lady-turned senator was paid an $8 million advance by Simon & Schuster. Foreign rights have already been sold in 16 countries, from South America to Europe to Asia.
The list price for the book, according to online seller amazon.com, is $28.
A source close to the project said Clinton also planned to strike a deal to serialize excerpts of "Living History."
Clinton's account of her White House years comes at a time when polls show her receiving the strongest support from Democrats for a 2004 presidential bid.
She has repeatedly said she intends to complete her term as U.S. Senator, which ends in 2006.
The book, which took two years to write, will be billed as a "complete and candid" accounting of her years as First Lady, from the health care debate to impeachment to the launching of her own political campaign in 2000.
The book does not cover any of the time spent in her current job as Democratic senator from New York.
The cover will be a black and white photograph of the senator, with the title, in her handwriting, in gold-embossed lettering.
While First Lady, Clinton produced three other books: the best-seller "It Takes a Village," as well as "Invitation to the White House," and "Dear Socks, Dear Buddy: Kids' Letters to the First Pets."
