Hillary Clinton’s upcoming book: Make way for the pity party … – Washington Times

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Hillary Clinton, of I Shouldve Won the White House! fame, apparently isnt content to deliver 10- and 20-second talking points from her national podium about the dang Russians who worked with President Donald Trump to give him that presidential title.

Shes gotta write a book about it, too.

Thats right. Clintons new book will reportedly double down on the Russian election interference angle as well as one that rings in former FBI chief James Comey as a heavy factor in her loss, too.

She just wants to get the story out, her friends privately say.

She really believes thats why she lost, and she wants to explain why in no uncertain terms, one of her political supporters told The Hill. She wants the whole story out there from her own perspective. I think a lot of people are going to be really surprised by how much she reveals.

Well, probably not not if the book focuses, as hinted, on the Russia-Trump election collusion message, or on the Comeys a Traitor rhetoric, either. America already knows these lines. And theyre boring.

Its too bad. Clintons missing an opportunity to write something actually interesting.

The Clintons have been in politics for a long, very long time. And theyve proven time and again a willingness to wheel and deal, to use political office for personal gain and to lie about it when it benefits. That means their friend list is long so too, their enemy list. If she would only dish, her book would probably be a bombshell.

But thats not the Hillary way. Shed rather throw a pity party.

On that, even Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer says its time to bury the hatchet.

When you lose to somebody who has 40 percent popularity, you dont blame other things Comey, Russia you blame yourself, Schumer said to The Washington Post, just recently.

Clintons failure is she cant.

And on that score, her book carries a larger message.

If Clintons memoirs are heavy on the same sort of finger-pointing weve already been treated to since November, itll be the mark of political death for her. Its bad enough Clintons rhetoric shows she cant move on from her loss. Putting it in writing, for all the world to see, and in a form thats as long as a book, will prove once and for all her resiliency to bounce back from adversity has been tapped.

Shell be remembered not only for her failed political career, but also for her book-length whine about why she was screwed.
