Sarah Palin will have her final book signing of the year Tuesday in Wasilla.“The event is open to the public. Alaskans are invited to bring their copies of Going Rogue to be signed by Governor Palin. She looks forward to seeing her fellow Alaskans at this event!,“ said a notice from Palin’s HarperCollins publicist, Tina Andreadis.
There's no word of an Anchorage signing, which Palin had previously indicated could be Tuesday as well. The former governor had written on Twitter: “Sounds like the Alaska book signing events 4 general public will be Dec 22, hopefully in both Anchorage&1 other location. Bundle up&join us!”
Having this last(?) book signing in Wasilla is another attempt by Palin to keep her critics from showing up and turning it into an opportunity to stage a protest. Personally, based on the visits from Wasilla folk to this blog, I am not sure she should get too cocky about that.
I have had a number of conversations with people in the Valley and there is a hell of a lot of anger and disappointment directed at little miss quittypants. I am not at all sure there will NOT be a protest of some kind.
You know I have to go out to the Valley this week, I guess it COULD be on Tuesday.
I wonder if she would still sign my book if I had maybe defaced the cover....you know....just a little....hardly noticable really.....if you don't look too close.
I find it interesting that the ADN story (which I reached by clicking on your headline) rather pointedly links to a report about SP's "long history" with the Wasilla sports complex.
ReplyDeleteThoughtful of the author to give us a nice reminder of why the complex builders might have just happened to lose a few windows off the back of the truck, right in front of the Palin's house in progress.
Why is the ICE QUEEN purple, with a snow white hand? Brrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteGuess I'm going to have to get started lettering my "Palin-Bachman 2012 / No Balls, Just Nuts" sign.
ReplyDeleteIf you go to Todd's own website for his snowmachine team and click on the tab "the guys" and read his bio, it says he has a grandson, "Trig." Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I still say the best scam possible on Cellulite Barbie would be to swap dust jackets from "Going Rogue" and "Going Rouge." If you were deep enough in line and you had it open to the end page instead of the title page, you might be able to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteHow much would a Palin signed copy of "Going Rouge" be worth?
Priceless.
Hey, if you can't make it to Sarah's signing, you could always take a moment on Trig's behalf and report her neglect regarding missing jackets, socks, shoes, glasses, hearing aids, sunglasses and or hat.

I thought that it was announced initially that she would hold public book signings in both Anchorage and Wasilla before Christmas. Since only the Wasilla one has been announced, I wonder if there won't be an Anchorage one, or if she might just hold it with only an hour's notice like she did with the short notice of the press conference when she quit as governor. That way she could hold it and only her Facebook fans would know about it and come and support her,and she would avoid any detractors. She could then end the book tour saying she had a great event in Anchorage. Doesn't that sound just like something she would do?
ReplyDeleteOn Todd's website, it states they have five children, including Trig, and then it says he has a grandson, Trig. They obviously meant to write Tripp.
ReplyDeleteFreudian slip?
Before Tuesday, Gryphen is going to have to collect suggestions for polite ways to show Sarah how much she is loved and appreciated in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteFor example, if someone has a Palin 2012 visor, you know that you can be incognito if you just black out her name.
The same may go for left over 2008 campaign t-shirts and/or sweat shirts. Black out Palin to be incognito. You can also be incognito (not noticed) if you keep your coat closed until you are right in front of Sarah. (You all remember how security guards treated people wearing the wrong t-shirt at a Bush rally or town hall).
Hi Gryphen
ReplyDelete2008 wardrobe $150,000
book B&N 2009 $28.99
Boo signing in Wasilla priceless...
Maybe this is a little low to go , but I wonder what percentage of Wasillians? (Wasillianites?) have slept with a member of the Palin family.
Please feel free to correct me on the term for a resident of Wasilla.
That is quite a find - redwood palinizer - it truly does say, on Todd's OWN website - that he has a grandson, Trig. What a slip - or a very wild typo. Time for a screenshot of that!

Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteOT and not to pressure you or anything, but where is that post on SP from her past you said would come soon? I'm dying of curiosity here!
@onething has proven what we knew all along. That Freudian slip just sank Sarah's ship! You rule, girl!
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteAs long as you did it with a Sharpie....
I know she didn't write the book. I wonder if she even read it.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that HC still calls her "governor". Apparently they missed the "quitter" press conference. Although, I do believe this is Sister Sarah's orders. Remember the orders given to all of the sites for her signings and the one that slipped out for MOA... This will be her last opportunity to walk in as Gov... Everybody else refers to her as "former", "ex" and "quitter" gov...
ReplyDeleteThis ought to be good - wonder how many will show up... But, you do have the priviledge of buying your books at your place of choice and not required to buy them at the Sports Center...
How many security guards will be provided? What was it - 75 armed guards on a militry base??? Oh, and don't forget to leave your tomatoes at home! They will be screening - guns are OK, but leave your tomatoes at home!
Getting her to sign ROUGE instead of ROGUE....that would be priceless!
ReplyDeleteWill she have a photographer there also, too, so she can make a few extra bucks?
ReplyDeleteShe was spotted at the Wasilla Target this afternoon. My daughter says people were taking second looks, surprised to see her, but she wasn't exactly being mobbed by adoring fans. At least not while she was watching.
ReplyDeleteLOTS going on over at www.palingates.blogspot.com as well.
ReplyDeleteBad week for the Queen...VisorGate, Cellulite Barbie, now AbortionGate and some interesting photos that follow.
Todd's bio also says he is the husband of FORMER Governor Sarah Palin - wonder if she knows?
ReplyDeleteBetter not be any desperate paparazzi there cause then she'd have to leave Alaska.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Going Rouge is only available in paperback and Going Rogue is still in hardback -- no paperback available yet. So, it would be hard to get Going Rouge by her.
ReplyDeleteRats!
The AIP is providing security with their AK-47s, and attack dogs. :)
ReplyDeleteAhh crimminy Gryph i am struggling to come up with something good. The tomatoes booth is out as it's too cold and they would just be lethal.Perhaps get Mr Whitekeys and song and dance yer way in and just as she is going to sign stop cold face and walk out. I know!!! interview everyone!! Everylast person in line gets interviewed by you an zaki. Do it. I would go myself but my friends in Wasilly dont want to put me up as they dont want attention on themselves. Sucks to be respected, Ya just cant speak your mind. We are still good friends tho.

The paper should have the pdf version available later today.
How appropritate - a twitpic for a twit. :)
ReplyDeleteOK - I've been reading he twitter quitter's twits too long, can't spell any more. Correction: Appropriate. Sorry bout that.
ReplyDeleteTHE twitter quitter...... I think I need a good stiff drink although you might think I've already had enough.
ReplyDeletePardon my ignorance (I live in Virginia and am not that familiar with Alaska politics) but why would the people in Anchorage be hostile towards Palin? Is it because she quit? I'd have thought everyone was pleased about that.
ReplyDeleteLiar, liar, pants on fire!
ReplyDeleteWhere there’s fire, we find the liar!
Some thought fire would set you straight
You’d stop tellin’ lies and spreadin’ hate
We tried to tell them you’ll never see
The flames lickin’ up round your knee!
Sarah, Sarah, please don’t stop
Your fire is making our popcorn pop!

The title of the article is "Lie of the Year" in regards to the death panel maker-uppers. I wonder if the editors realize Palin could have been "Liar of the Year" instead and filled up the entire newspaper section on her own.
I bet $carah's book signing in Anchorage will be this morning at ABT after the morning service as a special treat for the "reel amurkans" who go there to partake of Prevo's hate talk. She's probably "worshipping" (I use that term loosely) there this morning with her prop, Trig.
ReplyDeleteWill Todd be at the book signing? Oh please, somebody, bring a print out of his "Former Governor", "grandson Trig" web page for him to sign. Please, please, pretty please.
ReplyDeleteIt would be extra nice to first decline Mrs. Palin's signature and then ask him for his.
Someone should blot out Sarah's name on the title page with a sharpie and then stand in line in Wasilla and get to autograph the copy. Wonder if she would even notice?
ReplyDeleteCurrently there are 113 signed copies of GR available on eBay, and I notice the average price has dropped in the last couple of weeks, from an average of $79 to $49. One auction is nearing completion with a high bed of $13.06--and that's for a signed (meaning "initialed") copy.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Palin can replacet that wedding band for less than $100 at Ross Simons. Mail order. No one need know.
ReplyDeleteI live very near the Sports Complex. I'm thinking it might be fun to drop by with some posters -- you know, perhaps with something like, "Wasilla's Pride: Home of Quitter Ex-Gov Winner of the Biggest Lie of the Year Award." Maybe something also about donating to VFT, you know the Visor Fund Trust! The possibilities are endless.....
ReplyDeleteI asked my daughter more about her Palin sighting in Target yesterday. Said she first noticed a woman with a fussy baby who was jiggling him and patting him impatiently on the bottom trying to get him to hush. Her first impression was "not a good mom". it was only after that she realized that the mom was SP- probably the sweatpants, jacket and ball cap disguise threw her off. Traveling incognito in Wasilla Target - never know where those desperate paparazzi might be hanging out.
ReplyDeleteAlso not wearing his glasses. I know - we're all surprised.
Bet she has Toddster, Trig, Ma and Pa Heath, Willow, and the purple boots as props. Hope you make it, and get some unflattering pics.
ReplyDeleteI think the Quitter Queen is going to be ROYALLY
ReplyDeletescrewed. Happy holidays everyone.
