The daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has signed with William Morrow to publish "Not Afraid of Life," to come out this summer. Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollins, announced Tuesday that the memoir would provide "an inside look at her life."
"Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, from growing up in Alaska to coming of age amid the media and political frenzy surrounding her mother's political rise; from becoming a single mother while still a teenager to coping as her relationship with her baby's father crumbled publicly — not once, but twice," according to Morrow.
A listing for the book briefly appeared last month on Amazon.com and on an online HarperCollins spreadsheet. HarperCollins has published two best-sellers by Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008: "Going Rogue" and "America by Heart."
"Bristol talks about the highs and lows of her appearance on ABC-TV's 'Dancing With the Stars,' including the aching hours of practice, the biting criticisms, and the thrill of getting to the show's finals," Morrow announced. "She speaks candidly of her aspirations for the future and the deep religious faith that gives her strength and inspiration.
An autobiography? Are there people in this world ridiculous enough to actually purchase a ghostwritten autobiography from this no talent 20 year old baby factory? Well I guess there must be.
Wow! P.T. Barnum was right, there really is "a sucker born every minute."
"Not Afraid of Life," what does THAT even mean?
Not afraid of her life?
Not afraid to create NEW life? (Well we know that one is accurate.)
Perhaps she just loves LIFE cereal?
Here is a girl who has spent that majority of her life either hidden from public view for one reason or another, or trotted out onstage like a trained poodle when her mother requires that the public be distracted from something she does not want them to see. And you know that the publisher of her mother's books is certainly not going to let Bristol tell the truth about what was happening behind the scenes in those days. So really what is Bristol going to put in this book of any real value?
I am assuming the same thing of value found in her mother's books. Nothing.
However if Bristol the Pistol REALLY wanted to write a book that would garner interest, from somebody besides the Pavlovian trained Palin-bots that is, she could absolutely do it.
Here let me help.
Chapter One: Finding out that my mother really is going to fake a pregnancy by hearing her announcement on the news.
Chapter Two: Manipulating Levi into knocking me up just to piss mom off.
Chapter Three: Faking family love to help mom get the chance to be Queen of America.
Chapter Four: Naming my baby after Daddy's favorite prostitute. Just to piss mom off.
Chaptret Five: Kicking Levi to the curb now that I no longer needed him.
Chapter Six: Faking family love again for Mom's stupid reality show.
Chapter Seven: Oops I did it again! Hiding another pregnancy on national television.
Chapter Eight: Stealing Tripp away from Levi and moving him to Arizona. Hah hah chump!
Chapter Nine: Dating Sadie's leftovers.
Chapter Ten: The Perils of bad Plastic Surgery
Chapter Eleven: Turning grifting into gold by writing this book.
But of course we know none of that will make it into that book Because that would be telling the truth, and one thing the Palins simply will not stand for is somebody telling the truth.
"deep religious faith that gives her strength and inspiration" That was really on display during DWTS, wasn't it.
ReplyDeleteHow long has it been, again, since any of the Palin's have been seen going to church?
And Gryphen, do you have a date on the before picture, and what plastic surgery Bristol had done up to that point? Because the girl in the after picture has a different nose & I don't think they usually make a nose, especially the tip, bigger during surgery.
Hah! If BeStill did write a book as you had so humorously outlined, I might actually buy it :-)
ReplyDeleteDo they have Razzie Awards for the worst books?
ReplyDeleteFrom the sound of it, it will be all about how Bristol "chose life," and also, too, wasn't afraid of, um, life (?).
Anyone who believes that Bristol Palin is writing anything more than nasty facebook posts is out of their minds.
That girl is as sharp as a golfball and much less interesting.
stupidity and ignorance for sale
ReplyDeleteWhere Does the Title of Bristol Palin’s Memoir, Not Afraid of Life, Come From?
ReplyDeleteAccording to a press release obtained by Click, Politico’s Alaskan-literature newswire, Bristol Palin’s forthcoming autobiography goes “beyond the headlines, offering readers an inside look at her life, her world, and the things that matter most, including her family and the faith that keeps her centered.” There is no mention of the genesis of the title, “Not Afraid of Life,” which is just one word off from the Ramones song, “I’m Not Afraid of Life.” If Palin was inspired by the New York punk legends, it would make her fondness for the oxymoronic Alaskan outfit Static Cycle that much more inexplicable.
The title could also be a reference to the William James epigram “Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact,” which Palin may recall from an episode of One Tree Hill in which it was falsely attributed to Henry James.
There is a rich history in this title of unknown provenance.
http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2011/03/where-does-the-title-of-bristol-palins-memoir-not-afraid-of-life-come-from.html
The Pistol needs regular plastic surgery tune-ups from much nore expensive surgeons that her first bunch. Pistol's budget is being balanced for her via child support payments and media deals.
ReplyDeletePistol is living the teen dream at the trivial oost of one little bastard (or possibly several of the little dears).
Good lord, I've lived much longer and done tons more interesting things this idiot, yet I wouldn't dream that anyone other than my own mother would be interested in a book I'd "write."
ReplyDeleteThe book should be called, "How to Preach Abstinence and Have as Much Sex as You Want (While Making Some Bucks)."
ReplyDeleteThe book has been leaked! Leaked! And I have a copy. I'll send you both pages asap! Hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteI would buy ANYTHING Levi Johnston would write at this point, before I'd spend one plug nickel on this "dirty little liar's" book.
ReplyDeleteI think the title is easy to figure out (even if it is gag inducing: First, remember the magazine cover with SP and Trig and BP and Tripp and the headline was "We'e glad we chose Life." Second, all during DWTS she and her mother kept talking about her courage to "get outside of her comfort zone" and not be afraid to try new things. It will be full of religious crap and how to embrace life. I won't even read the racaps other people do on the blogs.
ReplyDeleteThe theme song for the movie which I am sure is next can be, "I made it through the rain" by Barry "King of Schmaltz" Manilow. (But I love the song, so I hope they don't use that.)
ReplyDeleteThis is embarrassing that she is getting her own book. Who would buy it at full price? The economy is about to take a nose dive, so it will be republicans buying it at garage sale prices.
I suspect HC signed this deal before the Grizzled Mama's last book was such a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteThe side by side photos of Bristol really do say it all. They can perform more plastic surgery, put her in heavy makeup and dancing costumes, and all you are doing is changing the package. It's still empty inside.
ReplyDeleteThere are books written by young girls which have become classic masterpieces. I'm thinking of the Diary of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl living in Amsterdam during World War II. At the age of 13, she and her family went into hiding, in secret rooms behind a helpful family's apartment. Anne kept a diary for several years, released by her father some time after World War II had ended. It has become a classic. It is the work of a talented young girl who had something to say and wrote with simplicity and beauty.
Let's make no mistake. Bristol hasn't had very much happen to her in her 20 years. She had a wild party life, (we read the My Space posts where she bragged about Sarah thinking that she was pregnant). We know that Bristol had sex and at least one baby. Her mother put her in front of cameras as a spokesperson for abstinence. Her mother arranged for her to appear on Dancing with the Stars. Bristol has not accomplished anything in her own right, and judging from her Face Book posts, she doesn't express herself very well beyond calling people names and giving her mother's haters the middle finger. At 20, Bristol appears to still be an immature girl who isn't all that attractive, does not speak well in public, couldn't dance and has one claim to fame, having a child out of wedlock. This doesn't sound like a book worth writing. There's no there there.
If Sarah is serious about running for president, this book is not going to do much to enhance her image. Sarah may have thought that it was a good idea to put pregnant Bristol (and Levi) on the campaign stage in 2008, and she must think that this book will add to the Palin Fake Family Image. I have no doubt that Bristol does love Tripp, but that's not a book.
There is a book written by a woman who earned her living as a waitress. She loved interacting with customers, and she provided detailed, interesting descriptions of the behind the scenes life of a restaurant. When she became pregnant, she described a way that she and her sister could alternate between the waitress job and taking care of the child. (There was not husband or boy friend who wanted to be part of the picture). Hers was an inspiring story of overcoming difficulties with a good sense of humor in the interesting restaurant setting. Bristol doesn't have a story like that, in fact, unless Bristol is willing to tell the truth about Trig and Sarah and all of the real behind the scenes stuff in the Palin household, she has nothing at all to contribute. On the other hand, Sarah never has anything much to say, and it took her two books to say it.
Again, you write the best blog titles!
ReplyDelete...her life story
Bwahahahah
Amazing. But nothing the Palin's do amazes me anymore. They are ALL in The Family Media Whores.
ReplyDeleteI still do not think that second pic is Bristol looks like her cousin.
I love the titles you chose for her chapters. Just laughing my ass off.
I guess this will be a way for Sarah to do another book tour with Bristol.
By then the people of this country should really despise them and turn out for the book signing nul!
To: leu2500, I agree, Bristol's nose has gotten longer. Either she has been afflicted by the same disease that Pinocchio had, or the plastic surgeon, who created that jutting chin needed to balance her face by adding a little tip to the nose. It all looks weird.
ReplyDeleteDid the same person who fed you the ivy frye story tell you of bristols alleged pregnancy? Because whoever told you of the alleged dwts pregnancy was sadly mistaken and undeniably cruel. You exploited a young girls weight issues for your own benefit and that makes you no better than sarah
ReplyDeleteThe last two letters in the book title are incorrect. They are supposed to be "es" NOT "fe."
ReplyDeletePhotoshopped pictures of Palin truly increase the truth quotient of the blog. Matzletof.
ReplyDeleteNot afraid of life....hmmmmm....let's see Bristle, is that a play on how you chose life? UGH Really? That's all your ghost writer could come up with?
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....let's see.....what will the book say. I partied my ass off and slept with a hell of a lot of guys. I got knocked up. I was used as political prop by my Mommy and the GOP. I went on television umpteen times and called my baby(you know the one I chose to keep) a mistake and decided to name him after my Daddy's hooker. I paraded my fat ass on television so my Mommy's bots could vote for me and feel like they were saving the world. I take after my mother when it comes to being thin skinned, I took my son away from his father and moved to Arizona to shack up with my lover, oops, wait, oh ya! I'm practicing abstinence.
Anything else Bristle, and your memoirs will be a work of fiction.
I can shorten the book for Bristol's doomed ghostwriter.
ReplyDeleteGot drunk.
Got naked.
Got f*cked.
Got knocked up.
McCains has no balls.
Don't want to piss Mom off-toss the sperm donor.
My mom can smell a dollar under a dead caribou.
Stupid and boring sells to tabloid mags.

my sincerest sympathies to the ghost writer, truly the job from hell
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is wrong with these publishing companies? There's nothing Brisket can write that would prompt me to buy that book!
ReplyDeleteWell considering the only things we know about bristol thus far is rumor and heinous lies to feed personal agendas.
ReplyDeleteWhat she did to her face makes me sad. I have done things so I am not against it in general, but she is so young and maybe a little jaw lipo but the change is too much and she had a unique prettiness that is gone now. Sometimes nature knows best what fits where and what size it should be.
ReplyDeletenow having things sag, that is different!!
Wow, if those two photos don't show what the Palins will stoop to, nothing does. Now I want to know what happened to her latest bundle of joy?
ReplyDeleteThe book is aimed at the one tooth crowd. Palin's base.
ReplyDeleteSo it is not my imagination!! I thought her nostril and chin looked different!! What the heck are chin implants made of?I do not mean to sound catty - but honestly I thought she was pregnant on DWTS. Each week she looked a bit chunkier. Where is the baby?
ReplyDeleteSnooki has a book. The real Snooki. Now Bris-dull Palin has a book. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteHarper-Collins is trying to distance itself from the Palins by pushing this stinker onto its imprint.
ReplyDeleteI have no respect for this publisher and intend to boycott all of its products. I buy a lot of books, but from this point forward I will check to see which company is publishing the book and it is Harper-Collins or any of its affiliates, I will not buy it.
It might make a huge difference in sales, but at least I can stick by my principles. I am so tired of Murdoch. I don't watch Fox News and will do research to see what else I have to turn away from and I encourage others to do the same.
Maybe hitting Murdoch in the wallet might get his attention.
What "deep religious faith."
ReplyDeleteFrom her behavior and language, I would say if she has any religious faith it is pretty shallow so she can easily ignore it.
Or perhaps we should question what sort of church/faith supports being a slut, a foul mouth and a liar.
Not afraid to lie. That Is the story of both Sarah and Bristols mad existance.
ReplyDeleteLie piled on top of lie on top of lie.
A mountain of them.
And it is profitable for them. It has been, and I wonder when it all comes to a screaching halt.
I guess the notion that "everything is relative" holds true here aye? Maybe if you are really honestly truly a nobody, then the life of another nobody is relatively interesting.
ReplyDeleteSure, you can expect to find a more polished version of one's true self in any autobiography, but how can you polish that which cannot be polished? Does "watching paint dry" become "watching color take hold"? Does "dull" become "flatly wistful"? It'll be a hard one to spin. But hey, I got it, she can always just fill it with lies in order to make herself seem inspiring! On second thought, what am I thinking... she's a Palin, so I have no doubt that is exactly what she'll do. Wait... What am I thinking again... She won't write a thing.
People, it is not enough to just cite the article at the end of a long excerpt from it. You must put quotation marks around the material or put it in a different font or indent it.
ReplyDeleteQuotation marks are the easiest when posting on a blog.
You must do this - otherwise you are almost like the Palins. They don't give credit to the stuff they steal either. You are not trying to steal it, but it sure isn't giving credit to the real author.
End of rant.
What sickens me even more than the griftin' paylins are the idiots that pay $$$ for their LIES.
ReplyDeleteBut then life has become nothing more than smoke and mirrors anyway... the intense celebrification (like Shakespeare and $P, I can create new words too) of what used to be news has made reality fade to black.
"Christian values and deep religious faith"? Puhleeze!
Wait til the book 'tour' that she will inevitably launch across the red states, the media blitz that they'll plan to 'get the word out' about this tome. We'll hae to sit through lies and pandering to the base, Palin family mythology promotion, bashing of Levi and family, dissing of the media (of course) and so many other mundane and unimportant things that will spew forth from the mouth of the mama P wannabe.
ReplyDeleteShould be in the clearance bin just in time when I need more paper for the bottom of my birdcages.
ReplyDeleteSeems that Ivy Fryd won't be unemployed -- she'll be busy with Bristle - Bristle's ghostwriter!!!
I like a good picture book. I hope they make it a pop up!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunate for Brissel she was on DWTS last season.
ReplyDeleteIf she had waited a year, she could have learned from Kendra how to make a sex tape as Brissel is getting much practice between the sheets!
Then they could have co-authored a book - 'Two Sluts with Baggage' aka 'We Each Have A Penis & A Pair'
Those pictures are not photoshopped, sadly. One is old and the other is from the reagan ranch dinner I think.
ReplyDelete@1:55 "Not afraid to lie. That Is the story of both Sarah and Bristols mad existance."
ReplyDeleteNot Afraid to Lie.
Love. It.
Will SarahPac be able to use the book to scare up donations from the faithful?
ReplyDeleteBrisket looked better before going Hollywood!
I teach full time, and I am trying to publish a book. Why am I trying when I know it will never get published because I am not some reality show whore? Now that I have read that BRISTOL PALIN will get her "book" published, I want to fucking put my fist through the drywall.
ReplyDeleteLife Bio:
ReplyDeleteI grew up in a dysfunctional family.
I rebelled by lying, having unprotected sex, drinking, using drugs, thinking I was better than everyone else, and writing off high school.
Mom used my pregnancies to further her career.
Mom made me be a spokesperson for abstinence to further her career.
Mom made me embarrass myself on DWTS to further her career.
Mom tells me who I am but I don't know who I am.
I think I want to be a different kind of mother than what I grew up with.
I'm confused about how I got here. I'm just confused.
This young adult has become like her Mother...a liar, inept, someone who appears to have been pregnant more than once, etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteAmazing that people would even purchase this book that won't even be written by her! What is wrong w/America when it comes to the idiotic Palin family? Perhaps this book will fail as did the last one her mother put out.
@1:37 (the 3rd) who said: "Photoshopped pictures of Palin truly increase the truth quotient of the blog."
ReplyDeleteHILARIOUS. Those pictures are NOT photoshopped. In fact, they were taken at the bday celebration for your God, Ronnie Reagan. They're on the official site for that event.
I hope Bristol doesn't find out that people think her plastic surgery looks like a bad photoshop joke! That would undoubtedly make her SAD!
Since we know she would never put anything approaching the truth in a book, it's going to be like whatever Charlie Sheen could put in a book - nothing we don't know already.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even want to read a book by someone who WON Dancing with the Stars, you know?
There is not an author alive who could both write this using proper English and make it seem like Bristol wrote it. "Awesome!" or "This old canard really sucks!" is not going to cut it.
ReplyDeleteO/T - Nancy Reagan praises Obama: http://www.tmz.com/2011/03/01/nancy-reagan-barack-obama-praise-good-job-president-ronald-reagan/
ReplyDeleteRead it and weep, oh Mother of The Chin.
No-talent, 20 y/o baby factory.
ReplyDeleteThat's it right there.
Love it Uncle G.
Looking forward to the off-broadway production of this masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteIt could write itself!
The sad truth is that even Snooki's book is a best-seller and the MTV Jersey Shore star's got 2,000 people coming out to her book signings. Tons of people will go to Bristol's signings just to gawk and it will appear that she's a star. It's very sad.
ReplyDeleteAnd what did were they referring to when they said the baby's daddy crumbled twice in public????
Didn't Obama's dog write a book?
ReplyDeleteI'm insulted that anyone would think this girl in 20 yr has anything of value to say. She was and is priviliged. She had a public job as a recepionist for what maybe 3 months? I'm sure mommy got that for her, probably a friend or called in a favor. Left that for DWS. (she was so bad on there.) Why hasn't she gone to college? All she does is scam the public, who is going to believe she has, and is abstinent. I guess mommy taught her well on how to make money by talking nonsense. Not even a good role model as a parent, having all those live in boyfriends. I remember reading that Levi was staying at her condo when they were so called getting back together. Why are the right, screaming for Levi's fathers rights?
ReplyDeleteGotta say - What a friggin ugly nose job. Dr must have got his medical certificate from a Cracker Jacks box.
ReplyDeleteHopefully she will have a whole chapter on why she is so ashamed of a face that showed her Inuit heritage that she had it surgically destroyed?
ReplyDeleteKind of like an abortion of self, isn't it?
A destruction of God's gift of who your are?
An act of self hate. She is 22 not 72.
Dog most like its owner.
ReplyDeleteIf Bristol wanted to really prove her "deep religious faith" she would reject all her parents money and try to make it on her own, knowing that God will surely provide. If she has enough faith, that is.
ReplyDeleteLet's see...what she earned on her own...so far the job as a receptionist, she can keep that money. And to be fair some magazine layouts she did with Levi, because they were mostly about the couple and the baby. But DWTS was all Sarah Palin, in fact Sarah even showed up. And any other gigs her mother set up, like candies and the LLC, none of that she can keep.
Now let's see her survive in that Arizona desert and support a toddler by herself with that revised bank account.
Are you ready to live fearlessly, Bristol?
Must be telling lies. Nose has grown.
ReplyDeleteQuestions: How long must we wait for Piper's book to be published? And when will this madness come to its inevitably awkward - yet delightfully comic - end?
ReplyDeleteIf there are gods in heaven, O mighty Zeus, make them stop!!
The title is wrong, it should be:
ReplyDeleteNOT AFRAID TO LIE
anon2:41...think brisket even knows what photoshop is ?
ReplyDelete"and the thrill of getting to the show's finals,"
ReplyDeleteYou got to be f-ing kidding me.
Should be "the thrill of getting to McDonalds"
This is basically an exercise in Mother using Daughter to further her own ambitions. Nothing more, nothing less.
ReplyDeleteSick. The entire copy will be crafted under Sarah's (or someone's on her team, whomever that consists of at the moment) eye.
The GOP knows it has very little inherent appeal to the younger generation. They hope people like Meghan McCain and Bristol Palin can draw in this demographic. What young person do any of us know who could relate to either young woman?
If they think Bristol can appeal to young mothers, I am sorry to say most of them do not have nearly the means of Miss Palin. The situations are worlds apart.
What chapter will cover Sarah and Todd throwing cans at each other?
ReplyDeleteShe now looks like a witch.
ReplyDeleteI just want to puke. Burn in eternal hell, Bristol, you grifting beotch.
ReplyDeleteI'd be 100 time more likely to buy the Playboy with Levis sister in it, and I'm a straight chick, bc the interview might at least be INTERESTING and HONEST.
ReplyDeleteThe Palins are retards. All except for the three year old baby, as I'm guessing he has the highest IQ of the bunch.
but but but ... don't get pregnant, ya'll :winkwink:
ReplyDelete- kellygrrrl
How much did SarahPac have to spend buying all those America by Heart "best sellers"? Hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteSo I guess that would be the "deep religious faith" that got barstool knocked up repeatedly, and encouraged her to drink like a sailor as a teenager?
ReplyDeleteI smell pushy Half-Gov. Grizzly Granny all oooover this. The conversation probably went like this: "Hey Bristol Pistol!! Guess what you're gonna be doin' next since those elitist college types won't pay ya to give a speech? No, not have more sex, idiot...! You're gonna write yourself a book and make a bundle. What do ya mean, WTF? I did it and it's soooo flippin' easy....geez, all ya do is just make shit up! I'll even lend you my ghostwriters. It'll be done in a week."
Great post, Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteI don't care a whit about the book her ghostwriter will fashion but she would have sold me a copy if she followed your outline.
I'd like to know the details of how her parents taught her to lie for them. Was exaggerating the Wooten taser incident the first time or did they make her lie about something random even earlier. Heck, she's probably like her mother and doesn't even understand the word 'truth'.
On the bright side, the book may generate a few paid media appearances for Levi so he can counter the disses he's sure to receive.

ReplyDelete"No-talent, 20 y/o baby factory.
That's it right there."
They should probably skip the book and just print her life story on a postcard.
"deep religious faith that gives her strength and inspiration"
ReplyDeletewhat was she doing on facebook, witnessing??
Those side by side pictures tell quite a story.
ReplyDeleteI just asked someone to "Look at these two pictures-(they don't know how famous she's supposed to be) what do you think?" "Answer- They might be sisters. Related for sure. " LOL
Said this is a 20 year old future best selling author last name Palin, in both of the pictures.
It might have cost her a book sale... or two.
Bristol is such a lovely young lady. Why is everybody always picking on her? I mean it's not like she doesn't have a good work ethic. She don't need no stinkin' college education to become a millionaire.
ReplyDeleteI've just about had it up to here with these a-hole Palins. I guess I do feel like a chump. Encouraging my kids to work really hard in high school taking challenging AP courses and then going to a good four-year college (Purdue ;-) just to graduate and then can't get a job. Can't wait til everybody in America gets fed-up and storms the gated communities with pitchforks and torches. (disclaimer: just kidding about that last violent bit of imagery.)
She's got the pointy chin of a witch now...not too attractive and neither was her receding chin. What writing? the ghostwriter will be doing it and Sarah will be the one dictating it...not Bristol.
ReplyDeleteAt this rate, one of Todd Palin's old snowmachines will soon have a book deal.
ReplyDeleteLou Sarah speaks!
ReplyDeleteAccuses the president of having flip-flopped also too.
She knows all about marriage.
Palin Tells Anti-Gay Group Obama 'Flip-Flopped' On DOMA
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/03/palin_tells_anti-gay_group_obama_flip-flopped_on_doma.php#more
Big red blinking light: "Publishing Industry in America--Desperate, Drowning, and Out of Ideas". Not to mention out of editors with any shred of self-respect. These people are unconscionable. Seriously--we're going to use scarce natural resources on which to print this tome for the ages? For shame.
ReplyDeleteLittle BigHair gets more hideous every day, and she's only 20. I can hardly wait to see her in 10 years.
ReplyDeleteShe'll get uglier, that's for sure. But she won't get any smarter.
'Not Afraid of Life', but she appears to be afraid of her own face!
ReplyDelete@ 2:35 - I know just how you feel. I've been doing the leg work for years - getting small pieces published in periodicals just so I have a ghost of a chance to get somebody to look at my book. And then you hear about creatures such as this who just because they have some kind of notoriety, they get published - even though what they are writing -in substance and truth - is trash.
ReplyDeleteFrustrating and exasperating for sure.
Great writeup Gryphen. What a bunch of crap she will put out. Seems like Margaret Cho was right about what she said. Momma P is all over this. Milking every last penny from their bots that they can.
ReplyDeleteAs to the comments about how can people do this? My ex was a grand champion liar, and eventually he was so tickled about getting people to believe his lies, including me, that he would laugh in your face about how gullible you are to believe him. He was superb at being believable. Fooled therapists, etc.
The pathological liar is an expert at his game. The only way to call it off is to leave and slam the door in their face. If you don't they will leave you and it will be your fault.
"My Middle Finger"
ReplyDeleteSo, and where is LEVI's book in all this?
ReplyDeleteAlso, too, I agree with the posters who lament the fact that their kids went to Universities (mine did, too...) and can't get a job, let alone write and publish a book. Our country has become an upside-down society. Honesty and hard work is frowned upon, greed and grifting is put up as role model.
Our country is on a very fast fast-track to become the next Banana Republic - it will not even take five years, IMHO.
Somebody better tell that girl that an advance has to be paid back if the book doesn't sell.
ReplyDeleteWho'd buy this?
Not afraid of lice is a hair raising tale of the hardest working 17 year old in Wasilla who was forced to be a mother duck to that baby.
ReplyDeletePiper’s life memoir will be coming out when she reaches 4th grade.
ReplyDeleteI'm stunned by the continued attempt to force this talentless and uninspiring family down the American throat.
ReplyDeleteNo matter that the polls reflect a lack of interest, someone thinks we need just one more push. Shove is more like it.
I suppose yet another failed book or television show won't be enough proof that America just isn't buying the Palin product. Face it, Americans know fake when they see it and the Palins are obviously nothing but poseurs.
Maybe this is just a huge money-laundering scheme, I don't know.
I'd sooner believe that than believe a business with a profit motive would consider a book on the life of Bristol Palin a worthy investment. Sheesh, this girl has yet to have an interesting or original thought. All we know about her can be summed up by her big middle finger.
I guess Bristol will have to put her DWTS gorilla costume in the attic. With that new chin of hers, the mask won't fit anymore.
ReplyDeleteBristol should quit using her daddy's viagra. Wow look at the girth and length of her um, chin.
ReplyDeleteNo offense but she is not really a pretty girl,no Sadie is a beautiful young lady IMO.. Got to say I know someone who actually could write a book about the hardships of single motherhood and she is from Talkeetna and has not had the help the palin girl has had.She for the most part had to do it on her own and part of that was leaving Alaska which had been her home for I think 18 or 19 years.Now that might be a story as drugs were involved before the pregnancy.Which may have been why they moved out of state to get away from that.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the conclusion about her DWTS belly?
ReplyDeleteTo 1:37 if you're going to try to write in Yiddish at least spell it correctly. It's Mazel Tov. And "duh". That's not the only picture of the new Jay Leno chin.
ReplyDeleteHer book will be utter shite like mommy dearest's. Dismal sales.
ReplyDeleteReally,though, that chin is so freaking ugly. You'd think she'd have enough money to go to a real plastic surgeon. Not that a 20 yo should be doing that stuff to her face. But god is that chin ugly.
If she's very lucky she will live many many more years. Here's what she has in store: skanky guys w/her for the money/fame/etc, another baby or two or more - no father in sight, a hideous phony face due to gobs of ill-advised plastic surgery, a son that grows up hating her, and a big fat arse.
Her life-trajectory is as easy to predict as the content of the upcoming book.
Newsflash Bristol: Your fans don't have $20 to blow on your crappy book. If mommy's fans couldn't bolster mommy's book sales you can be damn sure that your supporters/fans (5 girlfriends in Wasilla?) aren't going to be able to bolster yours.
I'd like to know who the publisher is so that I never every buy a book from them again in my entire life. Do we know who they are?
Is this a scam by Scarah to launder more of the PAC money, having the PAC buy the book as a donor giveaway?
ReplyDeleteThe day Piper finally showed up for school her teacher asked Piper how many feet equals one yard. Well Piper being new to school and measurements stood up and told the class that 3 chins equals one yard. The teacher corrected Piper and told her 3 feet equals one yard. Piper attempted to correct the teacher and said well you haven't seen my sister lately.

To 3:31...who (I think) was partly joking about how many books SarahPac will have to buy..you have hit the nail on the head !
ReplyDeleteIt's just another money-laundering vehicle, by which someone ghost-writes Bristle's book, which is all bought up by SarahPac...so funds are moved from the political campaign stuff right into royalties to support little Grandbaby (ies) when they get back to Arizona.
'Zactly. This family makes me sick.
Bristol invoking the great big middle finger at all the haters on national TV was the climaz of her ignorant little existence. It's just downhill from there.
ReplyDelete"Not Afraid of Life" might mean she's not afraid of the stuff that happens in life. What she doesn't realize is that "stuff" happens to billions around the world, that life can be daunting, and there are so many who don't have the life support options Bristol has.
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why do these publishing companies reward rich girls and never give a young unattractive, rejected, unfavored 20 year-old a chance? I could name off a list of young girls who've lived through tragedy, sacrificing their lives for others and overcome so many obstacles, yet will never be given the light of day.
I get so tired of hearing about Bristol and her "struggles" - coping with a relationship with her baby's father, blah, and "aching" hours of practice for a $200,000/plus job (tears in my beer), or, "biting" criticisms. Who has not had at some time in their lives "biting" criticisms?
Many would welcome those criticisms if they had the opportunities that come Bristol's way every day; excessive paying job offers and deals. It's unfair of her at this time to lay out such triviality and complaint in book form while she amasses hundreds of thousands of dollars for herself while young women see their 20-some year-old military husbands shipped off overseas, not knowing if they'll return alive.
dang

I put in an order for 3 copies of the book...
ReplyDeleteBy the time it is selling, I figure it will be cheaper than toilet paper.
My ass will thank you Bristol

Aunt Snow, unfortunately that isn't true. Advances are not paid back, even if the book doesn't sell out.
ReplyDeleteI am sick and tired of the fact that she is making money for having a child out of wedlock, like her mother, and being SP's child! I went to school for 7 years and will never make money like her. I've lived life the "correct" way, college, marriage, but can't seem to have children. I'm a Christian and while we aren't perfect, I can honestly say that stating it doesn't make you a Christian. Walk the walk, talk the talk, don't fake it! She would be the last person I'd want any Christian kids to look up to!

If her chin gets any bigger... she will need to put out a "I am not a witch" video.
ReplyDeleteI think she had a baby between the early December Haiti trip and her College Station, TX speech at the end of January.
ReplyDeleteI think she was further along than she looked on DWTS, when she was stuffed into special undergarments.
The pictures from Haiti, particularly the ones of Bristol in a peasant style top, showed someone who was expecting.
Oh, how stupid! She hasn't lived long enough to write about her life! What is wrong with the publisher? They must be dumber than a box of rocks--that is what I have thought about Bristol and her mother anyway. What has happened in our country? Too many people have been dumbied down--is it too much TV and X-Box?
ReplyDeleteIs there a 'Bring Back Bristol's Old Chin' group I can join, because damn...
ReplyDeleteOh, and hmmm....so we shall have more coming from another Palin who does not want to be seen nor spoken of authorizing an image promotion book. WTH?
ReplyDeleteWho of sane mind would be shocked to be critiqued in a tv reality dance competition? Was the public to only reflect a glorified self or gush platitudes Bristol was the best or that she lost weight ( while she ballooned suspiciously looking preggers) just because she claimed or did the opposite?
The Palin's are sick and need people to repeat their grandiose delusions or they surely must hate them.
I pity such people.
OMG! It is just the reverse look that my family gets surgery for. We try to get the nose trimmed and the chin toned down. Does she realise that she just paid to look like a jap???u
ReplyDeleteWhen does Tripp get his book deal?
ReplyDelete"Who's That Man Humping My Momma Cuz It Sure Aint My Daddy"
By
Tripp Palin Shailey Heath Johnston
Meaghan McCain's book and subsequent interviews were far superior to what Bristol will be able to do (book not written by her and she gives horrible interviews).
ReplyDeleteMcCain's daughter has far more experience in life than does Bristol - Bristol is Wasilla, a teenager that went off the deep end - became pregnant out of wedlock - probably had another baby (at least, she looked pregnant during DWTS) and has absolutely no personality (for interviews).
A big zero - much like her idiotic mother!
"At 20, Bristol appears to still be an immature girl who isn't all that attractive, does not speak well in public, couldn't dance and has one claim to fame, having a child out of wedlock. This doesn't sound like a book worth writing. There's no there there."
ReplyDeleteI get a queasy feeling from this. This stuff does not come from Bristol. The book won't sell much. A lot of people say fascism is on the march in this country. Well, if that is so, then we need to analyze it, how it comes about. It does not just appear overnight.
Imagine people who are the lowest of the low, and no matter how much they fall, how many scandals of every sort - lying, mean-ness, sexual, abuse of power, dishonesty, cheating, relatives who break and enter, it just doesn't matter. No matter what they do, and they do a lot, it just doesn't matter. The money and the offers keep rolling in and the media keeps treating them like respectable celebrities.
There is something big behind all this.
I have difficulty understanding the drastic plastic surgery. Were the Palin's so out touch to be on denial of Bristol's weight gain? It is drastic IMO when a person has money for a nutritionist , medical tests, trainers and a nanny to chose to buy a new face instead at the age of 20. Worse her own mother pushes unhealthy food.
ReplyDeleteLet's face it. Bristol is living a life in which her mother, 'Mommie Dearest', has had control over since her conception.
ReplyDeleteBristol is also a product of her phsycial environment, Alaska.
To those who are not familiar with young girls growing up in Alaska, particularly 'the valley', you may not understand that the drugs, rampant unprotected sex, abortions, veneral disease, out-of-wedlock births, alcohol, good ol' boys, horrible education system - is VERY COMMON there. There's a helluva people there that are dumber than rocks. Seriously.
It's just the way people live there. I would know - and that's why I left - so that my children would have a chance at a stable life even with very little money. But who cares about my life? We are drawn like moths to the flame when it comes to celebrities, especially the Palins.
As far as Bristol is concerned - she is not desperate enough to get away from mommy - nor is she broke. I do not feel sorry for her. Financially she is set for the rest of her life (book or no book) and to most of us, that is an everyday battle which sometimes means life or death.
No sense in getting upset about this book. It is just a way to get the $$$ OUT of sarapac and INTO the waiting arms of sarah and brisdull.
ReplyDeleteA (very) few bots will buy it, but the bulk will be purchased by the pac and right-wing websites like newsmax.
Eventually, many of the most hardcore bots will even see this.
Actually, at least a half dozen of the regulars at c 4 p have bailed.
oh and too, also, bristol gets a book deal to scam the bots (twice, actually, because they pay for the Pac's purchases and will buy a copy or two, too, instead of eatin' that week. plus they probably used welfare checks to pay sarahpac, so...ouch we are all going to pay bristle. What a great plan for sharing the wealth.
ReplyDeleteLike Charlie Sheen says, "duh. winning."
Make them lose.

ReplyDeleteThat's the Mad Zoo Burro baby!
Heavens those side by side photos... How could anyone do that? Not only does her chin look very exaggerated and long, but it is likely to look even worse as she ages. Oohh, that profile--not good.
ReplyDeleteThis unearned celebrity, the plastic surgeries to try to make her conform to whatever ideal pressed on her by her mother and her sense of entitlement-- these do not bode well for the future. Perhaps she will find other influences that will pull her from this destructive pattern. For her sake, I hope so.
Chapter Twelve: See mom, I got a Sugar Daddy too.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, a lot of worthless books are published. Many young people get plastic surgery. What I do not understand is why Bristol would subject herself to all this ridicule. What is the appeal of this constant humiliation? A normal person in her position would just quietly get a job and maybe some education.

Anony @2:35P.M Have you heard of the young women from Minnesota, who tried to get het book published, didn't and decided to publish it hert self?he is now a young millionaire and a full time writer. She, is from Austin Mn.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't make too much of this book either. Sarah knows she's ever closer to being a footnote in our sorry history. Her family knows it, too, and are hoping to get all their profiteering in under the wire before her celebrity burns itself out.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the prior poster who said this book is going to have very limited appeal. The less said about it, the better. Sometimes I think you give this brainless breeder too much attention.
I guess that after this book, DWTS, the magazine spreads, etc., that the Palin's will once again complain that the "children" should be off limits. That is, if anybody dares to be critical of Brisket.

ReplyDeleteYou might be right. Mommy's latest book was a massive fail. It almost went straight from the publisher into the discount bins. I can imagine that anybody would think little piggy's book would do better.
you know, it is kind of funny that sarah bitches about michelle obama promoting healthy eating, says she's going to bring cookies to a school that's considering removing cookies from their menu... and her own daughter has to pay a doctor to have the fat sucked out of her chin. hahahhaa man these people are so unconscious.

ReplyDeleteRemember when a screaming, exasperated Ann Coulter said of Hillary: "Why does she have to write a book???" Maybe she should look at Palincountry. These people pop out books faster than babies. And these are not books about real life, it's all fiction.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to several posters who made comments about Bristol's chin, including the hilarious one with the Christine O'Donnell reference.....I completely agree. Not only is this an unattractive mistake, but as Bristol ages she'll naturally lose some fat and her face will become more pronounced. She should have just waited. I think she definitely would have slimmed down in the face with time. But not anymore, now time is against her.
