Topic Title: 'Going Rogue'

I think you meant, 'Going Rouge,' because she always shows up wearing one of her red clown suits. Or maybe it's because she's such an intellectual embarrassment to humanity.

:laugh:I wonder how many posters here suspect/believe but do not admit that Dreams Of My Father was actually written by Weatherman William Ayers?

Only right right wingnuts like you would even consider raising the question, and then, only to spew more bullshit.

Awesome, PJABBER and spidey07 have found each other, this should be a good social/physics experiment. On the social side it should be fun to watch the two compete for mantle of best right wing troll, and on the physics side we should be able to find out if there's a threshold at which stupidity/insanity reaches critical mass.

As long as they don't breed!"shudder!!"
 
wtf she's done practically nothing with her life and is able to write a memoir? maybe she'll write a second, more political one in a few years and use that as a set up for the white house
 
Palin had a deadline of Sept. 15 for her manuscript and turned it in a bit early. Copy-editing and fact-checking are now underway in a race to meet the crash publishing schedule, which has been accelerated four or five months because of the huge anticipated demand.

Shure fire way to publish a piece of crap. This will be the "Hellgate: London" of books. Lots of anticipation, but nobody signs up because it sucks.

Blizzard Entertainment wouldn't stoop to this level. "It'll be done when it's done" (and it will be awsome).

They appealed to a political segment that we might not like to be as large as it is - and his ticket did much better than it had any right to after Republican disasters.

Sarah Palin was brought in to take advantage of the rift between the Clinton / Obama camps, and hopefully draw some of the hilary supporters over to the republicans. That gamble worked initially, but didn't pay out after Clinton and Obama finally made nice.

LMAO!
 
Lets see if I can quite get my arms around this, the gage of Sarah Palin popularity will be in selling 1.5 million books which means if each book is read once, only 1 person in 220 in the USA will read it. Dare we hope for the 3 million mark and she still will not crack 1%. Its enough to make Sarah rich, but going by her track record, every time Palin opens her mouth, her overall support goes down.

And you betcha, you can take that latter statement to the bank. Sarah Palin has achieved name recognition, but so has OJ Simson and Ossama Bin Laden. I can hardly wait to see the Sarah Palin book reviews in the funny papers. You can bet the comedians will have have yet another field day.
 
I'd bet the book will sell like hotcakes, easily hitting No 1 on NY Times (wonder how she'll feel about that!) It will also likely be pretty well written by whoever it is that wrote it, but there will be plenty of folksy talk liberally sprinkled throughout to maintain the illusion of country wisdom and Palinism's aplenty.

Concrete solutions to any given problem other than drill baby drill or cutting taxes (that old saw!) are unlikely to make an appearance.

Look for at least one chapter on god and how he changed her life, and ditto for Trig. I'm curious what she'll say about Levi.
 
Just realized as sad as she is.. Republicans will be drawn to the book because of how much she is ridiculed by those opposite of her

It is always fun to watch the reaction of the leftish to the sales figures of conservative authors. Conservative authors receive virtually no coverage in the popular press, are ignored by major book reviewers in the New York Times, the Washington Post and Oprah, but always seems to generate a lot of buying activity.

Unmentionable: Best-Selling Conservative Books and the Networks that Ignore Them

Now, I can always make the joke that conservatives seem to read more than liberals who learned everything they needed to know in kindergarten... but I won't quite yet.

How would a 1.5 million press run by Palin compare to a liberal competitor?
Thu Aug 07 2008 SPEAKER OF THE FLOP: PELOSI SELLS 2,737 COPIES OF BOOK

The most powerful woman in the history of American politics is suffering a humiliating defeat at the nation's bookstores, sales figures show.

In her first week at market, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi sold just 2,737 copies of her book KNOW YOUR POWER, according to NIELSEN BOOKSCAN.

The DOUBLEDAY release was launched with a full media push, featuring high profile interviews on TODAY, THE VIEW, THIS WEEK.

"I wrote the book in response to people asking me what it was like to go from housewife to House Speaker and for advice as to how young people, especially women, could balance family and career," Pelosi told the WASHINGTON POST.

Pelosi's sales debacle [#41 on the Non-Fiction Chart] is dramatically overshadowed by the first high profile anti-Obama book, OBAMA NATION, which debuts at #1 on both the BOOKSCAN and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestseller List, with 21,466 copies moved...

How about another measure of what sells? Let's go to Amazon and see Glen Beck of all people dominating once again -

Yeah, someone is buying books, just like they are watching Fox and reading blogs. I wonder who these people can be?

I suspect dahunan is correct, therefore may I suggest a catchy Palin book title like MY Struggle,
which in German would be Mein Kamf. Another best seller of yesteryear. To my knowledge, no deleb agent has copyrighted the phrase.

This. It is another way to launder bribery money.

Wouldn't there be a few other hands in the till along with the overhead? I have no clue what percentage authors make for every book that sells but there has to be much cheaper ways of "legally" funneling money to someone.

No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

Case in point: Mackenzie Phillips's "High on Arrival" is also on the Amazon best-seller list.

It's always fun to watch a Palin thread go from zero to 50 in mere hours. And almost every single post is an insult.

Face it, you guys are scared shitless of her and how many people she connects with, and all you got is insults and attacks. America is waking up and it scares the crap outta the left.

This is my theory on the Kayne West thread also, although you have to replace "left" with "everyone who doesn't get it"

America's waking up to someone named Sarah Palin shitting in their Wheaties, that's what America's waking up to.
 
I'm no Palin supporter, but she's got some really good values and boy would I love to bone her. It's just hilarious to watch the left get all riled up; this action will only sell more books. So in a way the left is self destructing, pissing off people that wouldn't otherwise vote and that is a good thing.

Why does a woman scare you so much? Are you that racist?...err....I mean sexist?

It's going to sell millions, easily.

Or as in the past some right wing group will purchase 100,000 copies to spoof the numbers!

Allow me to process; you call us sexist for disliking a politician. . .one paragraph below writing that you want to bone her.

I'm impressed with your trolling skills.

It worked for Scientology....

Seems L. Ron and the Gop have many things in common....
 
Man, I figured she was a ret pally. Who knew.

Well, backstabbing--makes sense I guess...Somehow doubt she picked up the prep talent though.
 
I think I'll pass. I've already read all the Dr. Seuss books.

Ideology doesn't enter into this for me. She's an intellectual turnip, and consequently I have no interest in her except for MILF potential. 😀
