It is refreshing that the Democrats should have had a renewed appreciation of capitalism!

"Senator John Kerry seems to think that Hillary's new book deserved the 8 million dollar advance under the theory of it being a fair market price due to the fact that the publisher was willing to pay it. Which seems logical to me.....but I am curious as to what his position was on Newt's advance" I don't know what to think about the book deal. For one, Hillary is not a sitting Senator yet. I understand the objection is that Simon & Shuster is owned by Viacom who has interests before the Senate. For the sake of fairness, I think this is a bit of a stretch. I thought it was over the top when Newt was attacked for his advance, and I think this is a bit much, and vindictive, for attacking Hillary who is not even an active Senator yet. Derek
