If Pickles wants to get paid . . .

I think she's going to have to give up the dope on the dope's dope use:

First Lady Laura Bush snagged a seven-figure deal to write her life story for the Scribner imprint of Simon & Schuster.
Bush is said to have received an advance of $1.6 million, according to one well-placed publishing source - although another source said it might have been "a little higher than that."
The advance is said to be far below the $8 million that Hillary Clinton received from Simon & Schuster for "Living History," which became a runaway bestseller, moving more than 2.5 million copies.


According to the New York Post,
Several publishers, who did make the trek to the White House in mid-November for the presentations, said that the First Lady gave away very little about what a book would contain and that she seemed unwilling to discuss it further.
