Uh oh! Did the publishers finally realize that Bristol Palin can't write and has nothing important to say? And look, it only took them three days! Update.

From the LA Times:

Bristol Palin, the 20-year-old daughter of the former Alaska governor and current Fox News commentator Sarah Palin is writing a memoir for publication later this year. The younger Palin is best known for her appearances on "Dancing With the Stars" and for having a child at age 18 with on-again, off-again beau Levi Johnston.

Well, she was writing the book -- as of Monday, at least. Entertainment Weekly and the Hollywood Reporter linked to the Amazon.com page for the upcoming book. EW.com writer Keith Staskiewicz added, with no small amount of frustration, "I guess the fact that Bristol Palin is apparently set to write a memoir of her own shouldn’t necessarily make my brain implode in on itself like the house at the end of 'Poltergeist.' "

Since then, Amazon has removed the page from its website. The Associated Press reports that "publicist Seale Ballenger of the Harper imprint William Morrow, the book's presumed publisher, declined to comment Tuesday."

Huh.  Well gee that was kind of sudden..

I mean it was ONLY three days ago that we learned that Bristol was getting ready to write the "Untitled Bristol Palin Memoir" (Catchy title that.).  What could possibly have brought the publisher's to their senses in such a short period of time?

Did you guys call William Morrow and tell them that they had a barely functioning illiterate in their stable?  Come on, you can tell you Uncle Gryphen, did you?

Because if you did that will just reinforce the Grizzled Mama's belief that I am "trying to destroy her children."

Of course as we all know I am really just trying to destroy her political career and ability to influence others, but she keeps tossing her kids in the way to deflect criticism. Bad Mama Grizzly, bad!

Update: Perhaps I spoke to soon.  It looks like the publishers have NOT come to their senses and the book is still scheduled to be published in on August 1st.  Somehow  I don't think that anybody will still be all that interested in the Palin family by then however.

    Maybe Bristol's ghost writer quit and went on strike out of lack of material!

    Maybe the publisher was made aware of the negative commentary regarding this and decided they wanted nothing to do with it. What 20 year old who has done nothing extraordinary with her life, would be in a position to write a memoir?

    She & her mom only know 3 tricks: selling books, giving speeches and being on reality shows. Looks like their money trains would rather leave them at the station.

    I had noticed it's disappearance just a little while ago when I checked Amazon.com - that little search history list at the bottom showed a blank spot where I had looked it up - while I checking to see if any of my own indie-authored works had garnered any fresh reviews. I'm hoping they did come to their senses too.

    This is good news!

    I could not bear the the thought that such a no-talent ignorant fraud could be contracted to write the memoir of her 20 years on the planet. Bristol is famous for being knocked-up, put on DWTS by her mother, and for talking about abstinence - a subject she knows nothing about.

    At least Paris Hilton went into merchandising with perfume and other things. Not that she is a substantial business woman, but it seems she has learned her lesson about being famous for being famous and has not retreated for the most part from the headlines.

    If only the Palins would learn that same lesson.

  13. I'm getting ready to edit a woman's memoirs. She lived in Germany during the Third Reich. Very interesting story. Another friend wrote a memoir of her experiences during WWII as a nanny for a high German general's family. Both these memoirs are self-published. They were not deemed interesting enough for a publisher to pick up. Yet, the Wasilla Whore's ghostwritten story was picked up by a major publisher and given a spot on Amazon? This is truly the dumbing down of America. Perhaps, the publishers came to their senses. I just hope they haven't already sent a check.

    Also, I'm thinking sarah doesn't have anything to do with all the times willow took to facebook to defend her. It happened a lot. I'm sure her kids are terribly sick at all the lies and hjate directed at their mother. As it should be

    I'm not a publishing industry expert but I have authored two books by a major publisher. I remember seeing my basic book info on Amazon WAY before I was even done writing. I believe it had to do with locking in an ISBN # and getting things rolling on pre-sales.

    So if I had to guess, I'd say Bristol's book is still in the very early stages. But just because it disappeared from Amazon doesn't mean the project is off.

    Not that it shouldn't be... Good lord, who are the dimwits who would read it??

    I was assuming that the "Untitled Bristol Palin Memoir" was going to be a coloring book in the 2 dozen page range. I realize that such a hefty tome would be a severe test of Bristol's reading stamina, it still seemed appropriate and within the realm of possibility, albeit somewhat taxing.

    Really, I would suggest that before setting her sights quite so high, Bristol might want to start by actually READING a book before she sets out to write one. This seems very much to be a matter of wanting to run before one can even crawl.

    Bristol dear, try and remember that you're thicker than shit. Please pry open your tiny little mind before you begin imagining yourself an author.

    Good Gawd, in Bristol's statements on her future in politics from the Huffpo article, she says she thinks her mom should "still" run for POTUS (sounding like Sarah has already told her family she won't).
    Bristol went on to say she thinks her mom would make a great POTUS because she's a commonsense conservative and she's a mom, runs a household and is so smart! WTF?

    According to Levi's Vanity Fair article awhile back, he said Sarah went to her room everyday after work and didn't make dinner, do laundry, interact with the kids or help them with their homework. Plus the swearing, violent fights with Todd in front of the kids???
    What part of that is running a household and being a good mother?

    I think Bristol is confusing the "reality star" Sarah with the real-life, narsisstic, mean spirited, vindictive Sarah who has alienated almost all former coworkers, friends and family members who know the rill Sarah.

    TRUTH BE TOLD:
    If Bristol Palin was born Alaska's Debbie Smith and lived right next door to Sarah Palin, Little Debbie, a single parent who barely got out of school would be working as a waitress today. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with being a waitress, but lets not pretend that Little Debbie Smith would be a spokesperson for Candies, on the cover of People magazine or invited to DWTS and become a non-dancing finalist just because she was an underage single mother living in Alaska.

    Bristol Palin who has no skills or education has done nothing on this planet to deserve anything she has except that she is the daughter of an idiot who was picked to be a vice president for someone who was running a con on America, plain and simple.

    There are thousands of underage high school single mothers like Bristol Palin and no one from ABC has knocked on their doors or sent them an invite to appear on DWTS. These girls are working hard to bring up their child while Bristol is pretending she has something to offer. Bristol does not have a story to tell in a speech or in a book. She is the product of her mother's supporters, she received $350,000 from DWTS because of her mother's supporters rigged the contest, she receives money for selling pictures of Sarah Palin's grandson, she receives money for 10 minute speeches talking about abstinence which she does not believe in, she receives child support money from some dumb kid in Wasilla. Bristol Palin's life is just a reflection of her mother’s grifter life style which is to exploit the ignorant people of America until their 15 minutes are up.

    So tell me, what story can a 20 year old single parent who paid cash for her house with a nanny watching her kid can tell you and me how to be like her?
    What can she offer other single young mothers?
    What hardship has Bristol endured?
    How many months has Bristol been behind in her rent?
    How many nights has Bristol cried herself to sleep wondering what’s going to happen to her baby?
    How many buses has Bristol rode to get to work?
    How many meals has Bristol skipped pretending she is not hungry so that her child can eat instead of her? I think we can all agree Bristol has not skipped any meals!

    SOMEBODY TELL ME WHAT BRISTOL HAS TO OFFER ANYBODY OR SAY IN A BOOK?

    It is amazing, what we are witnessing is a “Palin Con” even Bernie Madoff would be proud of.

    I hope the women of the View reads this and tell me how I can be like Bristol.

    Very interesting that Murdock owns the small publishing company behind this and Harper Collins from Sarah's books. It is really sick how he owns such a huge chunk of media sources, yet we wonder how Sarah & her family are constantly in the news??? Duh! It seems crystal clear that she is a product of the Murdock media machine, as probably are Beck, O'Reilly, Bush, Coulter, etc.

    They could've claimed false sales of Sarah's books to increase sales. Just imagine all the ways Murdock can manipulate the beliefs, political views and feelings of the world through his media empire! Very scary stuff!

    I would think that any publisher would want to ponder some facts, like what has Bristol done that could fill up a book of even as little as 150 pages.
    And could it be done without running afoul of the court order that prohibits Trigg's familys from bad mouthing each other in front of the kid.

    That book would still be around while the child is a minor for him to read. As is his grandmothers tomes to snottitude toward Trigg's dad, aunt, and paternal grandmother.

    Assuming the Trigg has a court appointed lawyer, which children frequently do in disputed child custody/support/visitation cases. that lawyer or the judge him/her self as protector of the minor child' interests might be asking some pointed questions of the publisher/ghost writer and laying down some rules for them to follow.

    My guess, Gryphen (and it's an educated guess because publishing is my business), is that the book was pulled from their summer listing because it had become obvious that it wasn't going to be turned in on time.

    Bristol has been dropping hints about her book for a long time, so I suspect this has been in the works for quite a while. I was shocked when I saw it go up as a June edition but with no cover and only a working title. All June books should have had a cover and title long, long ago. ( I have a book coming out April 2012 and we finalized the title two months ago.) So I suspect that the ghostwriter quit. The book is probably still in the works (they will have already paid Bristol her advance, probably a third when the contract was signed), but it will be delayed.

    About a decade ago, Justin Timberlake was "writing" a book. The publisher went through two ghostwriters, both of whom quit in disgust because they could not get him to cooperate with them. His "people" treated the editor like she was a groupie stalking him. The publisher finally threw up their hands, pulled the book, ate the advance, and cut their losses.

    Incidentally, Timberlake was/is functionally illiterate.

People like this are terrible for our country as leaders. Sarah had never offered innovative ideas for the future, just worn out failed policies of the past. People in America are sick of her negative whining and complaining and victim mentality. She is not a role model or inspiration for anyone but her tiny group of "I hate the government" followers.

Add in the big middle finger comment and her recent Facebook foulness, and there goes any saving grace she might otherwise have. The appeal of this gal is a mystery.

    Any writer of Young Adult fiction could cobble together a quite readable book of the necessary length, featuring a heroine growing up on a frozen river in the backwoods of Alaska with few friends and long stretches of emptiness; following her journey to the lights of Los Angeles and the friendship and applause of millions of fans... while remaining a simple country girl at heart. Call it "Northern Light".

    The writer could search Google and look through old Facebook pages to find the names of schools and friends and dance partners to personalize it for Bristol. Sprinkle "awesome" and a handful of other superlatives like jimmies on a doughnut, and it is ready for the publisher.

    Bristol wouldn't even have to read it.

    However, if she REALLY wanted to rake in the money, an audiobook version would reach all those teenagers in their trucks.

    Whoa, did someone just claim to support the preposterous dream act? a piece of legislation that seeks to help non us citizens over us citizens. A piece of legislation rushed into the fray when so many other problems exist?

    You my dear are an idiot. All Obama had to do is say, one of my dreams for this country is to see us embrace people who aren't born here by _____

    Then say, however, due to the crisis we as Americans face currently, that dream is not appropriate right now. It is UNFAIR to ask Americans to pay for illegals when they cannot afford to eat.

    Why are liberals idiots?

    It looks like Bristol's book will be delayed 8 weeks until August 16.

    Amazon probably took the page down to amend it.

    Originally it said the book was over 300 pages. I'm sure they meant the book is 300 characters - you know like Twitter being 140 characters!!! I'd say 300 characters would be the limit of Bristle's brain being able to be activated at one time!!

    I don't think this means anything at all. I don't think assumptions should be drawn. There's no information here one way or the other.

    And nobody cares if Bristol Palin writes a book. So what? Megan McCain did. And she's what, exactly? Her views on the world are relevant why? Who cares.
    Let all these stupid people author whatever stupid book they want.
    Where the rubber meets the road is whether WE buy it.
    Quit supporting these people.

    The only thing that stirs me in the slightest about this, is the fact that there's people who cannot get a letter across a publisher's desk, much less get a very good manuscript in front of one. There's an unbelievable 'gatekeeper' force in control of what books get published, and ultimately it comes down to someone making a phone call for Bristol Palin.
    There's something very wrong about that.

    The reference to her writing a book is old news yet many are surprised.

    Quote from Huff post "..and is working on her first book." was talked about at the same time as the announcement she had signed to do speeches. This Huff link is dated MAY 2010 so she's been on this for over 9 months now. Oh gee - the same length as calfing a new one!!!

    Diva Bristol's "memoir"?
    I went to school sometimes, then not so much. I was a fertility goddess--and still am. I drank a lot and I forgot a lot. English is my second language--just like my mom. I have my very own facebook. I have a lot of money now. People are jealous of me--just like my mom. I am a professional dancer and have been on TV. I write real good.

  75. The book was probably delayed to give Barstool several more weeks of crap to make up. It's tough writing 300 pages when all she has ever done is have sex. have babies, and hoof her way across the dance floor.

    BTW, who let the Dream Act Troll on this thread? Bet that troll didn't see a problem when Raygun did that whole Amnesty thingy.

    Okay-the picture of bristle with this post. When was it taken? If the pic with the HuffPo article on her new life was really her, she didn't just get a bad chin job,her whole freakin head was put in some sort of device and reduced by about three sizes. It could be done, because her head is empty, but who would do that? A witch doctor? Oh yeah-doesn't Sarah have one for a pastor? Sad. But funny. Heidi Montag with dark hair. Ewww.

    Anon @ 9:24,
    No, it is you that is the idiot. You really should have that gaping head wound attended to. In what possible way do you deem it valorous and honorable to anonymously hurl your fetid turds over the transom and then run away?

    You are naught but another teabagger nativist buffoon who targets brown folks because of your deep seated incipient bigotry. Please, with as much specificity as your tiny brain will allow, favor us with a detailed exegesis of how the Dream Act is bad for our country. Who am I kidding? You have no specific objections other than xenophobic bigotry.

    Why should children pay for the sins of their parents? Can we hold YOU accountable for anything your parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents did? Hell, we know they committed one unpardonable sin: they brought you to term. That SURELY should be regarded as a crime.

    If through no fault of their own children find themselves in this country, how is it just to toss them out of the land that they call home? If I had a choice to deport the child of undocumented aliens who has lived here his/her entire life and wants to become a citizen or a shithead like you who seems to hate everyone who is not as pale as yourself, you'd be packing your bags and hauling your narrow minded white ass out of this country. You are a suppurating pustule on this country's sphincter. You are an embarrassment to our nation and to our species.

    Why are teabaggers universally such petty, mean, and vindictive assholes? Do you honestly think yourself capable of swaying anybody with your venom filled, ignorant bullshit rants?

    I went over to amazon to check out the memoir listing and see if any comments had been written, but now it's gone. And speaking of book reviews, I have been reading the comments on SP's latest book and have noticed one star reviews get deleted... And I've read those reviews that are now missing and they weren't particularly inappropriate at all. Why do they get deleted? Her book was rated at 3 stars a few days ago and now it's back up to 4, and I see the 1 star ratings have changed from 61 to 59.

    And speaking of SP's latest book, I was in the thrift store this week and the person in the checkout line before me had it in her cart. Evidently someone who bought the book couldn't even give it away and they donated it... Anyway, the checkout lady told the customer the book was $1 and the customer said "never mind, I guess I won't get that." That little scene made my day, someone thought the book wasn't even worth a buck.

    Don't worry! You can still have your very own copy of Bristol's book! Just go to your nearest Walmart (or equivalent retailer) pick up an inexpensive drawing pad and a box of crayons... hand the drawing pad and crayons to the first toddler you see, let them color away, and voila! Your very own advanced copy of The Untitled Bristol Palin Memoir!

    But seriously, maybe Bristol's book is delayed due to her "condition". Maybe she wants the book to be published after the latest baby pops out so she can include the "OMG! My baby was conceived by immaculate conception just like baby Jesus! I am the new Mary!" chapter in her book to explain how she got pregnant while preaching about practicing abstinence.

    Amazon has been manipulating the reviews of Sarah's last book all along. Of course it's in their best interest to have people think the book is worth buying but it's pretty disgusting to find out that they engage in this underhanded behavior.

    This delay, obviously forced by Bristol screwing around and not doing what needed to be done, will not endear her to the folks at Harper Collins. But then, I would imagine they've been treated to quite a few Palin Diva scenes from both these broads.

    I hope the book bombs bigtime. Yeah, she's still walk away with her advance. But if it does well, we'll be treated to a second one of these suckers. Bristol Does Arizona?

    Maybe the delay date for the book is for Bristol to give birth and to have some more work done on her Jay Leno face.

    That picture of her is horrible sitting on the couch with that big chin and bottom lip protruding.

    Bet you that RAM gave the questions to the E interviewer to ask Bristol. They were really dumb questions, sounds just like RAM or Silly Stupid Sarah.

    More likely Mama Grizzley shut the cub up because she was afraid something would slip out. Bristol probably just blackmailed her mom and made more money than any stinking book would have made.

  92. I want to know where this latest baby is and why aren't more people asking? At one point during DWTS I had mentioned that I thought Bristol had a miscarriage..when she went home to Alaska and her dance partner went with her...am I the only one that noticed she started getting thinner after that as well as doing lifts which she had never done before...or has she had the baby and given it up for adoption...talking marriage and wanting more kids right away and now all of a sudden she is thin, just dating her new bo and having fun..something beside Toad and Sarah going there separate ways has happened...where is that baby? It was quite obvious to me that she was pregnant...how do these people continue to get away with crap? Seriously...it doesn't seem like anyone really gets anything on them and when they do...it goes away quickly! OYE!
