PUBLISHING EVENT OF THE CENTURY – AT 10:28 A.M. ET:   Hillary Clinton will soon be out with a new book.  The world waits.  Apparently, she will double down on her analysis of the 2016 election.  Hillary at her most Hillaried.  From the Hill:

Hillary Clinton's upcoming book will double down on Russia’s interference and James Comey’s involvement in her stunning election defeat, according to sources familiar with the memoir. 
Privately, Clinton has told friends and longtime associates that she “wants the whole story out there” as she rushes to tweak and put the finishing touches on the book due out in September.

Yeah, I'm sure we'll get the whole story.  And Benghazi was caused by a video.

“She really believes that’s why she lost, and she wants to explain why in no uncertain terms,” one longtime ally said. “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.”

The ally said the book of personal essays will be a “bombshell.”

I doubt it.  A yawn maybe.

While the book will zero in on Russia and Comey —which Clinton believes are the two biggest contributing factors to her loss — it will also examine other factors she blames for a role in her defeat, including sexism and misogyny.

“We need to pull it out and put it in the bright light,” the former secretary of State said last month at BookExpo, one of the nation’s largest gatherings of publishing executives.

And finally, the quote of  the decade:

At a Recode tech conference in May, Clinton said, “I take responsibility for every decision I make — but that’s not why I lost” — a sentiment she has also told allies.

COMMENT:  Just a sec, just a sec.  She takes responsibility for every decision she makes, but that's not why she lost?  Come again. Her decisions had nothing to do with why she lost?

Look, Hillary Clinton, in 2016, was nationally famous for more years than was Franklin D. Roosevelt on the day he died.  There wasn't much the public needed to know.  The voters made their judgement...and Hillary didn't even carry the white women's vote. 

Maybe it would be best if she spent more time with her family.
