MONICA NARRATES HILLARY?S AUDIO BOOK
Former Intern ?Stoked? About Playing Role of First Lady
In the publicity coup of the year, former White House intern Monica Lewinsky was chosen today to narrate the audio book version of Senator Hillary Clinton?s best-selling memoir, ?Living History.?
The former intern, who has recently forged careers as a reality TV host and a handbag designer, said she was ?totally stoked? about playing the role of the former First Lady.
?In order to grow as a performer, you have to try new things,? Ms. Lewinsky said. ?I?ve been asked to do a lot of role-playing in the past, but this is the first time I?ve ever been asked to be Hillary.?
The choice of Ms. Lewinsky is expected to send Sen. Clinton?s book, already a best-seller, into the publishing stratosphere, and may also serve to promote sales of Sen. Clinton?s soon-to-be-released computer game, ?Hillary: Reloaded.?
In the game, replete with state-of-the-art special effects, Ms. Clinton is depicted hurling a lamp, ashtray and other small household objects at an adversary who appears to resemble former President Bill Clinton, seen cowering behind a desk.
While some in Democratic Party circles fear that the onslaught of Hillary-derived merchandise, including a series of Hillary action figures complete with Kung Fu grip, could jeopardize Sen. Clinton?s future as a presidential candidate, a just-released poll of likely voters indicates that just the opposite may be true.
According to the survey, 63% of Democratic voters want Ms. Clinton to run for the 2004 Democratic nomination, while a whopping 100% of Republicans want her to do so.
...how's that for marketing? :shrug:
