No, not Sarah Palin the person, but Sarah Palin “the Book” (a memoir — allegedly) will be released on November 17th, just in time for Christmas! Better place those Amazon.com orders now while supplies last. You betcha!
Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate, has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced, and the release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17, her publisher said.
“Governor Palin has been unbelievably conscientious and hands-on at every stage, investing herself deeply and passionately in this project,” said Jonathan Burnham, publisher of Harper. “It’s her words, her life, and it’s all there in full and fascinating detail.”
God, I hope it’s not all her own words. Four hundred pages of Sarah Palin’s mind numbing drivel would be unreadable. Don’t believe me? Go revisit her farewell address:
Still think she wrote a 400 page book in four months all by her lonesome? No, Palin’s ghostwriter or ghostwriters worked superfast to get this out in time for the Christmas shopping season. How involved Sarah “Barracuda” Palin was in the “writing” of her own book is doubtful. I’m sure she did speak to the people who wrote the book for her once or twice, or her publisher wouldn’t be claiming “It’s her words” but if she actually wrote more than 10% of this book I’ll be shocked. In fact, the less of “her own words” are in it the more likely someone will be able to read the whole thing. Of course, poorly written or not it’s bound to be a best seller just like Ann Coulter’s books always seem to make the bestseller list. These books get bought so that right wingers can showcase them on their coffee tables (or they get bought in bulk so they can be given away to right wingers to place on their coffee tables). And let’s not forget the demographic that will be hoping for a lengthy “pictorial section” in the book, the “Rich Lowry Fan Boy” segment.
In any event I hope none of you get this in your stocking on Christmas Day. I’d rather receive a lump of coal, thank you very much.
