Chelsea Clinton Will "Publish" Her First Book

The first of many, I assume. She obviously has so much to say, and such a zest and charisma in saying it.

I note the New York Times says she will "publish" her first book. I guess they're leaving it an open question as to whether she will be writing this gem.

It's a children's book. Chelsea Clinton's whole schtick, until she began flacking for her mother (who is atrocious and vile), was to do vague, nondenominational uplift. She did that type of shit on NBC, celebrating "real heroes" or something in America, or whatever, who knows. Who watched?

Anyway they fired her for that, because no one wants to pay a Yawning Black Hole of Unwatchable Anti-Charisma $600,000 a year to do stories about a Lost Dog That Found Its Way Home.

Her "book," if I can call it that, will be more of that.

Her book, "It's Your World: Get Informed, Get Inspired and Get Going," is aimed at readers ages 10 to 14, said Penguin Random, which plans to publish it in September.

In a press release, Ms. Clinton said she intended to use the book to "try to explain what I think are some of the biggest challenges facing our world today, particularly for young people" and to "explore some of the solutions to those challenges."

All this is is politico-corporate empty buzzwording. "Challenges." "Explore." "Solutions."

Action Items! Blue-sky imagining! Power-verbing! Toolbox-Nouning!

This is progressive grant-proposal-writing, but directed towards the publishing industry.

If this suggests to you What Color is Your Parachute?, it suggested that to the book's mock-up cover artist, too.

Wow! Look at all that color! So diverse!

Why, it's almost as diverse as the Foundation for Clintons staff.
