A few early excerpts: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/hillary-clinton-bowe-bergdahl-joe-biden-memoir-107502.html?hp=f3

When the book is released and if you've read it, feel free to post your thoughts.

Interestingly, she says that the Obama campaign in 2008 asked her to attack Palin, and she declined:

Anyway I already pre-ordered this. Hopefully I get to join the elite group of people who read a book by a president before they became president (though that prize would never be worth the torture of having to read a book by a Republican).

Infers that Michelle Bachmann is ignorant Smiley

“Privately I was furious at the attacks on Huma by several ignorant House members. So I was grateful to Senator John McCain, who had gotten to know her over the years, when he went to the floor of the Senate and made his own disdain clear,” she writes, quoting from a speech in which the senator blasted Republicans for defaming “the spirit of our nation.” Obama also later defended Abedin, Clinton notes, writing: “The president of the United States and one of our nation’s most renowned war heroes make quite a one-two punch. It was a real testament to Huma’s character.”

Obama helps Clinton with her teeth lol

“Before one of our meetings in Prague, on that same April trip, he pulled me aside and said, ‘Hillary, I need to talk to you.’ He put his arm around me and walked me over toward a window. I wondered what sensitive policy matter he wanted to discuss. Instead he whispered in my ear, ‘You’ve got something in your teeth.’”

That's not something new. It was mentioned at "Game Change".

So I just finished the Benghazi chapter, and it talks about Senators who only appeared in front of TV cameras and didn't go to the closed Benghazi hearings. I wonder who these Senators were. I'd be willing to bet Rafael Eduardo "Ted" Cruz was one, but who else?

The Chinese government is blocking the sale of the book in mainland China because of Clinton's criticism of said government within the book:

In 2008 she was fully defending her vote, and seemed to want war with Iran, too.

Lazy media darling sounds just like John McCain. One time he didn't show up for work for 6 months.

Ted Cruz does not do things if there isn't publicity involved.

Clinton recalls being "taken to the woodshed" by Obama:
