I thought Hillary signing books at CostCo was a joke

I'm sure that I'm late to the party, but I am honestly surprised that even she would set aside any last shreds of dignity like this. If I had her money and an image to protect, there's no way I set myself up for this punch line grab bag.

the last double quilted shred of her dignity was flushed down the toilet when she wouldn't go out to give a concession speech.

so, Costco, why the frick not?

The Clinton list of requirements for this event was like 5 pages long. They wouldn't allow other samplers to appear in the store, no employees were allowed to approach her under risk of termination, they essentially closed that 1/5th of the store so that she wouldn't have the indignity of seeing customers shopping for OJ while she was appearing, etc.

My company sells into Costco so I got some of the scoop. Costco sells more high profile books now than Barnes and Noble does. This appearance was a key part of her lucrative book deal because the publishers need to bend the knee to Costco.

that actually makes tons of sense. no one goes to the book store to buy books, but some premium shelf space at a one stop shop...I can see a lot of people saying what the frick and throwing it in

Never mind. Original pic was for previous book. Updated OP to show this is really happening with "WTF Happened?"

The Clintons wanted to construct a huge "set" that would hide this aspect of the appearance, they wanted to avoid having the racks and pallets of merchandise in the same shot as her signing, but Costco was adamant that it look like a Costco store.

As much as she hates the average Costco customer, I'm shocked she would stoop to this level.

Costco is the headquarters of the alt right, duh

I've listened to all of her interviews on the book tour and it's like alex jones with a dried up sniz just did a gram of coke and drank a 6 pack of red bull

She is getting more and more of a loose tongue as her appearances increase. It's almost like she feels like she needs to add some new interesting anecdote for each interview she does.

I was surprised at some of the stuff she said about Putin last night on Colbert.

Yup. Nothing but deplorables buying bulk to glutton themselves.

Nice analogy

Surely she is not doing this with "WTF Happened".
Apparently she is, and she sold 500,000 in the first week, which is the most for a non-fiction book over the last 5 years.

From a selling standpoint, love or hate her, this is something that people will buy as opposed to some memoir that only fans would care about.

Oh how far has the mighty fallen.

Crooked Hillary went from being a lock to the Oval Office to the Toiler Paper Aisle Office at Costco.

Poetic justice and karma that's so sweet you could get high on it.

I would hope prime time interviews on every network, constant news coverage, and not to mention an appearance on the view (I don't know if it is still, but it was a daytime juggernaut)would make it one of the fastest selling books in years.

I can't think of a book that's ever had more publicity.

Fair enough, but with a 9 figure bank account, there is no way I take a couple million more to have this image live in perpetuity.

But that's just me.

The only people who would buy this garbage are people who are just like her: entitled idiots who can never be accountable for their failures.

I won't be shocked if 10 Million Progs buy her book and use it to further their shortcomings.
