Fox News identifies Palin parody book as autobiography.

Below is how this article reads on FOXNews.com as of right this minute.

Despite her image as a polarizing figure and her penchant to provoke fervent support or intense hatred, the real Sarah Palin is a "complicated person" who isn't as dumb as her opponents say or as transcendent as her supporters believe, according to a new book.

"Sarah From Alaska: The Sudden Rise and Brutal Education of a New Conservative Superstar" was authored by CBS News reporter Scott Conroy and former Fox News producer Shushannah Walshe, who covered Palin on the vice presidential campaign trail last year.

The book was released Tuesday -- almost one year after Barack Obama and Joe Biden defeated John McCain and Palin, and weeks before the former Alaska governor releases her autobiography, "Going Rouge: An American Nightmare."

"It's the good, the bad and the ugly," Walshe told FoxNews.com. "Everything is there."

Oh my God that is hysterical!

I am not sure if this is some editors idea of a joke or if the people at Fox News are really this clueless.

The title links to the article, but I cannot promise that they have not fixed it by the time you get there. However I swear I simply cut it and pasted it without changing a thing except to highlight the book title.

(H/T to Martha. Thanks Martha I really needed a laugh today.)

  7. Still there, and now the comments are coming in! The Palinbots are outraged at Fox for doing this!
    This is delicious! I SO hope it was done on purpose - that someone at FAUX has a brain and a wicked sense of humor.

  12. In typical $P fashion "The authors said they faced intimidation tactics from Palin aimed as driving them out of the state as they worked on the book." I wounder what she did to try to intimidate them. An American nightmare is so true as well as an American laughing stock. Who proves the need to fund education better.

  14. Still there!

    By the way, re: banner ads. Remember, folks, they are linked to the subject matter on the blog. That's why Palin's ads come up so much here.

    But! Every time a person clicks on one of those ads, the advertiser is charged a fee. I don't know about you, but I often click on ads several times without ever buying the item being advertised.

  23. They are soooo smart!!

    Edgeamacated also!

    A little OT, but MSM speaks volumns about there true colors and by that I mean about how little attention they seem to be giving the NY 23rd race now that it has been projected by NBC that Owen's is the winner!!

    As far as I'm concerned, this is the only race that mattered to me today!!

    Can't wait to see all the spin that's put on this huge loss by the Grifter SP, Becky, Limpballs, et.el

    Now the owens win has made my day!!!

    A seat that has been R for about 150 years has just gone D !!

    You go Palin !! What a Farce to be reckoned with!!

    however, after our night of glee and celebration for the good sense of our neighbors in upstate NY, we do have to try and figure out what we can do to bring the crazies down from their Wasillaintoxication and back to working together for our joint future...(no jokes about Colorado, please)

    Actually, what's interesting is that Fox did fix the title of the book but did not delete the comments about the mistake!

    Oh, and Gryphen, I appreciate your printing of the anti-Palin birth letters on your thread yesterday. I wrote in saying that while you're doing a fabulous job in shining a light on other Palin disasters, your continued support of an obviously lunatic notion that Sarah Palin - who has the IQ of an eggplant - could possibly think up a plot that involved baby adoption, switching, etc. is not good. I gave you a rough time, comparing you to those morons who claim Obama wasn't born in the US.

    You really didn't have to print my letter or those others who wrote in. But you did, which shows you're not afraid to print critism.

    Let me reiterate again, though, you and the other AK bloggers are doing a great job in exposing Sarah Palin and her excesses.

    Truthfully, i don't even need to comment on this but it is just to delicious not to. What a bunch of amateurs, imbeciles and dumbasses over at faux news! Rupert can't seem to keep his people in line now can he? Call me a Northeast intellectual Elite, but that's what happens when you try to rule over a world of immature boneheads. In the famous words of Forest Gump "Stupid is as stupid does".

  42. By the time Palin's book is released........we might just get PAID to order one..........lol

    Rupert Murdoch does love to throw his money away sometimes!

    It makes you wonder why Oprah would take the time to interview the author of a book so obviously insignificant.

    Oh yeah.......ratings...............

    Went to a Dollar Tree store today in Vermont. First thing I always do is head to the book section. (All items in this store are $1 or less.) A full was falling off the shelf and, guess what it was one of those Sarah Palin books. The book was "Sarah - How a hockey mom turned Alaska's political establishment upside down." (Is that how Trig fell out?) by Kaylene Johnson. Picture on back cover is a young Sarah who looks somewhat like Piper. Many pictures included in roughly 140 pages big print. Paperback. Hardcover April 2008; Paperback which is the one in the store: September 2008. List price $15.95. Back cover has Huffington Post quote saying she is ready to be president.
    (pukin' time.) Wasn't gonna buy it, bit then I found an antidote book: Michael Moore's hardcover of "Dude, Where's My Country?" I bought 'em both.
