Courtesy of Today Book News:
An imprint of Simon & Schuster announced Monday that it had signed up "Blind Allegiance," a long-rumored tell-all by former Palin aide Frank Bailey.
The imprint, Howard Books, will release Bailey's book May 24. Excerpts from an early draft were leaked to reporters earlier this year.
Bailey worked with Palin while she was governor of Alaska and when she was John McCain's running mate on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008.
Howard Books is calling "Blind Allegiance" a "chilling expose." Author Ken Morris and Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon helped write the book.
Wouldn't you like to see Palin's face when she sees THIS news?
And for all of you who saw the leaked copy and figure you have read all that Bailey has to offer, believe me you have not! There were tons of e-mails and quite a lot of amazing information left out of that leaked manuscript, and I am confident we will see some of that included in this book once it hits the bookshelves.
Update: Here is a look at the cover.
Oooh, I like it!
Can't believe how quickly this book is being rushed into print. Lightning speed for any book, but when you consider how this book will need to be vetted by lawyers, it's staggering.
ReplyDeleteGreat news Griff, glad to hear that Ms Grifter will get some Xposure.
ReplyDelete"I won't sit down and shut up"
will hopefully change to
dead silence, and a few subpoenas..
She's done as much damage to the culture of ignorance, divisiveness, and class warfare in this country as Rush "Slimeball" and Glen Feckless
CanNOT wait for this book!
ReplyDelete"This" May 24th? As in: Five weeks from now? And the state has to release the emails on May 31st.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome news!
I have been wondering what was going to happen with this book! I've been worrying that the leaked manuscript had damaged any chance of publication.
ReplyDeleteMay through September...(big sigh of happiness) 3 books refudiating Palin's homespun, rill Amurikin facade and exposing her true nature at long last. I am positively squirmishing in anticipation. VHTG
Sarah is running around her house yelling... THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe total and complete downfall of Sarah has begun.
With the book announcement, Frank certainly has spoiled the "birthday day" party for Trig.
ReplyDeleteWhat a party pooper
I tried to find this at Amazon, but it's apparently not listed yet.
ReplyDeleteI'll be ordering five copies to hand out to relatives, as well as friends.
It's imperative that Queen Esther is left on the sidelines in 2012, to nurture her wounds, yell at RAM, and throw cyber cans at Peggy Noonan and Bill Kristol for dissing her.
After all, she IS THE QUEEN, you betcha.
Yesssssssssssssssss! Congratulations, Frank. I was so hoping you would find a publisher.
ReplyDeletePlease be sure to review the evidence re babygate -- now that you see things a little differently than you did at the time.
The three books -- Dunn, McGinniss, and Bailey -- will be a comprehensive triumvirate look at SP. Get that amazon page up so we can pre-order.
No wonder ms. twitty BITCH was such a sour puss on Saturday. Can't wait till this book hits the streets. It's damned time the truth comes out about this joke of a politician.
ReplyDeleteI heard from a trusted friend who read the leaked book that reading it only makes him want to buy it MORE.
ReplyDeleteTo support it and to read what has been added, as G suggests.
This is great news. I hope it makes Sarah go crazy. Wait she already is crazy. This will send her over the edge.Hope she gets all she deserves.
ReplyDeleteOT, but interesting that Greg Mortenson and his book on Afghanistan are being thoroughly debunked...yet no one has EVER attempted to do that with the pack of lies that is Going Rogue.
ReplyDeleteI think that for people who associate their salvation with voting, this won't matter. Logic does not matter to them. They are the anti science crowd. They know what they knewbecause their parents taught them, or their preacher told them. With Palin down, some one worse wi replace her.
ReplyDeletethat is excellent news!!
ReplyDeleteWhat 6:11 said.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, this is good news.
remember the book was first talked about in 09. Not lightning speed
ReplyDeleteMost of the c4ps read the manuscript with the world. interesting
ReplyDeleteObviously, they've been vetting it and putting it through through a legal review. They must have gotten the go ahead to publish and must have knowledge that Sarah will NOT be granted any further delays on releasing the e-mails. I had thought they'd wait until the e-mails were officially released, which would make the question of whether Frank Bailey could legally use them in his book moot for the most part. I can't wait til it comes out, and can only wish the worst for the Palin brand and all things Palin - with the exception of the innocent babies.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Amazon will have this listed shortly, but how to we "poke" them just to make sure?
ReplyDeleteHow come van flea hasn't been put on this?
ReplyDeleteSo many books~so little time. What a summer of readng pleasure awaits us all.
ReplyDeleteScorpie
It's probable that vetting was already underway when the manuscript was leaked, and that Simon and Shuster were awaiting a milestone in the vetting process prior to announcing the deal and release.
ReplyDeleteThat said, even if this is the case (which I have no idea) it's still really fast.

A Sarah Palin trifecta - Dunn, McGinniss, and Bailey - how very cool and couldn't happen to a more deserving person then to be exposed for the lying and hateful person that she is.
ReplyDeleteStunned how fast this book is coming out - is it going to be in print or ebook version. I'm sure a legal team has been working overnight to go over every detail - if the content is backed up by emails then it's fact (not slander) so no way he could be sued.
Looking forward to all 3 books - each I'm sure will have a variety of insights and facts - and even the stuff that may be covered in all three it will still be from different vantage points with different pieces of puzzle.
I'll be smiling big all day in anticipation!
Just a thought....Sarah may try lawyer control, but it will be interesting to compare the release of the e mails with Bailey's book. Also Bailey will be able to tell if the redacted info is personal or security as is usual for Governments. Double Baileys with my coffee! Rearrange the deck chairs Sarah! GAME ON!
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Great way to start the week :-)
ReplyDeleteJust read this on msnbc.com
Be sure to post where it can be preordered/ordered. Looking forward to it.
This must be some pre-pre-pre listing link.

Excellent report on the Wisconsin rally on NPR today
ReplyDeletehttp://m.npr.org/programs/all/3/135503786
$P such an idiot - at one point in the rant she refers to "lack of integrity IN the Beltway" as if she had never read or heard anything about DC politics, which naturally occur INSIDE the circle of I-495. The Beltway is a road, dear. Another small example of the half-remembered, misunderstood mashup of facts and buzzwords in her brain.
Wunderbar!!
ReplyDeleteBest news I've heard all day!
ReplyDeleteI love how Sarah's amateur decision to migrate all her staff to Yahoo to avoid open records is now biting her on the ass.
Yahoo emails aren't government property. They're Bailey's to do with as he pleases. Thank goodness he was pleased to wake up from his Palin trance!
This book may be what I have waited for. I may buy this book and have it never leave my sight. I will cling to the truths in that book. Mr. Bailey deserves to have his story told and Jeanne Devon would not lend support to anything that is not true. This much we know. This publishing company will be doing this country a great favor.
ReplyDeleteMay is going to be one hell of a month for Quittypants. Frank's book and I believe the e-mails are supposed to be released then too.
ReplyDeletehttp://sarahpalinhasaserpentsheart.blogspot.com/
Maybe the leak of the book was part of the vetting process? Yay! So happy this will be published and so quickly. I am leaving the country for a few weeks in May, and will buy it as soon as I return! Woo-hoo!!
ReplyDeleteYeah baby, yeah! Get that book in my belly!
ReplyDeleteOh My God! What great news. No, I did not look at the leaked copy, and will be very glad to purchase a copy at full price.
ReplyDeleteThank you Frank Bailey, I am so glad you were able to look squarely in the mirror and admit you gave your trust and loyalty to someone who did not deserve either.
7:03:
ReplyDeleteYou may be right, but I believe no one will ever be able to sneak on a national ticket again.

Gryphen I don't see your new stalker Felicia today...hmmmm my guess is that it's Man Sour and she has the hots for you after you made her a covergirl here!
Tax day ...
ReplyDeleteYes, this will be a very taxing day for Sarah.
Sarah, can you see the end of your charade from your house?
You and Brisdull will soon see the grifting gravy train run off it's track.
can someone just please verify that this guy is going to release the info about sarah's fake pregnancy? is that gonna happen with this book?
ReplyDeleteI read this on my home page Hughes a minute ago and just had to rush over here to say "Goody".
ReplyDeleteKeep the heat on bloggers, time for a full meltdown Lou Sarah.

Congrats to Jeanne Devon, also!
ReplyDeleteMudflats was the first useful blog I found on August 29th, 2008, after I got a glimpse of you-know-who.
Question--if you read the leaked book: can anyone give us a brief preview about what it says about who Track's dad is? I keep reading mentions of this being part of Bailey's e-mails but would love a few more tidbits. Please? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 8:12. Bailey won't expose Babygate. He and J.Devon believe Sarah gave birth to Trig.
ReplyDeleteFrank Bailey, stand tall, we are proud of you. Best of luck.
ReplyDelete8:12: not this one, but plenty of other terrible things Sarah has done.
ReplyDeleteThe Quitter.

ReplyDeleteGiant flag pin - check.
ReplyDeleteRed suit for the base - check.
Big hair - check.
Glasses for intellect - check.
Thin cruel lips barely restrained from snarling at opponents/critics - check!
Dispirited aide fading in the background wondering why he sold his soul - check!
Cold eyes devoid of compassion and mercy all the better for power grabbing and sucking the life out of the country - CHECK!
Read Malia's letter about Sarah Palin's Alaska, Sarah is going to crap her pants.
ReplyDeletelol @ LadyRose
ReplyDeleteGreat minds...
I also used "TRI-FECTA" at HP.
Great News - am glad it is getting released
Todd, you better stay in your house cause Sarah will be throwing cans again in her house.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Sarah and Todd use walkie-talkies to converse back and forth in their seperate houses?
Victoria, she for got the Isreali flag pin. You know she has Iseali flags everywhere.
ReplyDeleteRick
Appliance salesmen should have good sales numbers for the next few months.
ReplyDeleteSarah... they are counting on you.
I watched our First Lady and Dr. Biden on the View this morning. They are everything Quittypants isn't. Beautiful, articulate, intelligent, educated and classy.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Sarah has to hate on our President and First Lady so often, she's green with envy.
Time for Sarah to exit stage right. No one but the most mentally unstable people in this country believe she's remotely qualified for anything (and I'm a republican female over the age of 45.)
"can someone just please verify that this guy is going to release the info about sarah's fake pregnancy? is that gonna happen with this book?"
ReplyDeleteNo, he's not...at least not deliberately/directly. He has said he believes SP was pregnant but he seriously wondered why she never released T's birth certificate. The many e-mails he's based the book on are bound to reveal things he may not have intended them for.
On that cover Frank looks like a little grammar school boy who is pouting after having been severely berated by the hardened looking school principle(Principle Palin).
ReplyDeleteHow do I order one?!
ReplyDeletegood for Mr. Bailey. I'm sure he'll have some info that is going to PO Alaskans even more as far as abuse of power. Mr Gyphen I would look more into why when SP became gov. Toad said he would take a year off from work? and 7 months later about when someone??? would have taken a prego test ALL OF THE SUDDEN First Toad went back to work up North. Just when your wife would need his support he left town... HMMM upset baby has DS or maybe not his? something made him go back up north.
ReplyDeleteToad said it was financial. yea sure..
I will be buying this book. Maybe SarahPac will be buying up large quantities of this book and burning them.
ReplyDeleteWith all these people writing the truth about Sister Sarah, I predict a poor-me-I'm-a-victim orgy worthy of an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony coming soon to a Sarah Palin friendly media outlet near you.
ReplyDeleteMove over, Tracy Jordan. Sarah Palin might just beat your record time for the elusive EGOT.
I have a hard time reading about the "Track's dad" issue. Todd is Track's father. Legally and emotionally. Whether he is the sperm donor is irrelevant to anyone's life except those involved, and irrelevant to politics. It happened over 20 years ago, and MAY have involved deception - but it was Sarah & Todd's deception. And it happens thousands of times a year. There was no fraud on the public. Todd was and always has been his legal father, and from what I can tell, his psychological father.
ReplyDeleteSP's alleged deception isn't just that she isn't the bio mom. It's that she tried to pretend she was the bio mom, has seemingly lied about the date of birth, has injected her daughter into the issue, and has identified at least two, and perhaps three, babies as Trig - an impossibility. All leading to the question "why?" If indeed Todd is not the sperm donor, there is little dispute about the answer to the question "why."
I think it's at best insensitive, and at worst, mean to drag Track into this national spotlight. He may be troubled and not real likeable (I don't know) but that's all the more reason not to drag him into a national discussion about his parentage when on this issue, he is totally innocent. Nor has SP dragged him in to the issue. NOr has he spouted Family Values stuff, or publicly defended his mom. He has stayed out of the spotlight and I htink we should respect that. Give Track a chance to mature outside the spotlight. A lot of troubled kids grow up to be fine people - but hte national spotlight doesn't help the process.
The pre-order info from Amazon states the author as being 'Sally Smith' -- ( Untitled [Hardcover] - Sally Smith [Author] ) What is with that? And, who is 'Sally Smith'? ? ?
ReplyDeleteI am probably not familiar with why, or if this is a mistake, or what?
Anyone here know?
There's nothing in this filthy book that hasn't alredy been exposed on the inturnet. There's no reason to buy it and there's nothing to learn in it. It's an invshun of Sarah's privacy.
ReplyDeleteThank you God for giving us Sarah. Thank you God for leading her to be our next president.
Letter to the Alaska Department of Revenue Re Sarah Palin’s Alaska
ReplyDeleteRe: Sarah Palin’s Alaska
To the Investigations Officer:
On February 19, 2011 the Anchorage Daily News reported that the TLC “reality show” Sarah Palin’s Alaska had been approved to receive $1.2 million in tax credits. The application was reportedly submitted by a California-based production company Jean Worldwide Inc. Your office reportedly approved the paperwork on Feb. 11, 2011.
Pursuant to the express provisions of AS 44.33.236, the tax credit is NOT available as follows:
“(b) The following productions are not eligible, regardless of the production costs:
(1) news, weather, or current events programming; …
(7) a political advertisement; or
(8) a production that is determined by the department to be …detrimental to the people of the state.
Enclosed is a copy of Sarah Palin’s Alaska DVD which contains each of the episodes filmed and used for the television show and which is now for sale in stores. As you will clearly see the show was NOT eligible for the tax credit as it was reflective of “current events”, it was a “political advertisement”, and it was detrimental to the people of Alaska.
http://malialitman.wordpress.com/2011/04/18/letter-to-the-alaska-department-of-revenue-re-sarah-palins-alaska/
Oh, Sarah isn't going to like that cover photo!
ReplyDeleteI knew I wouldn't find it listed at Amazon yet, but there is a spot toward the bottom where you can send them comments. I told them I wanted to pre-order it as soon as they get it. More comments like that should get their attention.
I definitely agree with Anon 9:37 about leaving Track out of this. He has stayed away from the family circus, and I think that should be respected. More power to him for moving on with his life.
ReplyDeleteThere are casualties to innocents in all battles... Track's parentage may be one of them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Sarah should have "blinked" and thought before she accepted McCain's offer.
She may feel the money and fame justify the cost to her family.
8:33 AM, very funny post about different ways to refer to $arah Palin. How about TTWF (Turd-That-Won't-Flush)?
ReplyDeleteAnd there's always the classics: Quitter, WGE, Wicked Witch of the North, Caribou Barbie, Grifter, Bible Spice, Socialist, Lousy Mother, Clown, Whack Job, Half-Been, Narcissist, F...ing Retard, Twit, Screech, Refudiator... OMG, the list is endless.
Gosh.. is anyone at C4P pre-ordering Frank's book?
ReplyDeleteLMFAO
@9:37 - thanks for your opinion, but I guess you're not aware that the e-mails already made the rounds about Track's dad via the leak of the book. Your opinion will not stop others from reading about it; the info is about to go viral. Maybe you should skip over any comments about Track for the next 3 months, so you are not offended? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSo, anyone else who read the leak? Any possible preview of what the leaked e-mails said about Track's dad? Please? Thanks in advance.
Of course Bailey is not going to say anything about a faked pregnancy because he knows that Sarah was pregnant. What better proof is there that Sarah is Trig's mother. Give it up you hating hater libruls.
ReplyDeleteGlad the book is on fast track. Hate the cover.
ReplyDeleteI love how Sarah's amateur decision to migrate all her staff to Yahoo to avoid open records is now biting her on the ass.
ReplyDeleteLMFAO
Hard to have the State pay the legal bills to help Palin keep secret what is not theirs.
Will Sarah use lawyers and attempt to delay the release of this book?
You betcha.

ReplyDeleteThat Sally Smith is apparently some book scheduled for June. Presently no title for it and no info ---yet.

My hope is that books like this one and the one by McGinnis will send a signal to those who fear Palin that it is now safe to come out and tell us what they know.

ReplyDeleteDo you have your spell check turned off today???
Will the book cover that what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be? That family is very strange.
ReplyDeleteYou got a 14 to 16 year old pregnant child that disappears to the country side to live with relatives deep in the woods, and they described it as mono, MONO? I’ve never known any family who sends their daughter away to live with relatives for mono. This was something that that was done many years ago when a daughter brought shame upon the family by being pregnant without a husband. Again, what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be.
Levi.. when you snooze you lose.
ReplyDeleteOnce all books expose Sarah and her lies.. your chance to sell your story disappears.
Levi.. you had your chance.
The rush is interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe publishers want to introduce a book when the interest is most active .
Guess they also realize that interest
in Palin is waning.
Next year will be too late.
Bailey's leaked manuscript told of how Todd calmly reacted when Bailey told him
about doctored photos of a nude Palin were circulating on the net.
Todd seemed unsurprised as if he was expecting real ones to appear.
" Todd's response was " Is it real? "
Bailey writes that Todd laughed quietly
and told him that his wife walks around their home with her robe open,
despite the house having many windows."
I kinda thought the title of Bailey's new book
might be
"Going Robe."
Thank you God for exposing Sarah Palin for the fraud that she is.
ReplyDeleteBailey is just another loser who can capitalize on Sarah's popularity with a book. It contains nothing new and is only another con game that libruls gladly play along with in their mad mad search for some new lies about Sarah. you people are puthetick.
ReplyDeleteWill the book cover that what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be?
ReplyDeleteSo the Palins hid their daughter away for several months under the pretense of mono and then the 50 year old looking mom just happens to announce that she is pregnant and ready to deliver and everybody is surprised. Nobody noticed her morning sickness or being tired or questioned her square flat stomach. Nobody came forward and said they felt unborn Trig kicking away in Sarah's stomach or seeing a lump moving across Sarah's belly like most mothers proudly shows off. This pregnancy was strange because Sarah always shielded her belly of love with jackets and scarves. Nobody came forward claiming to share her joy or to explain the seat cushion looking belly.
Again, what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be?

ReplyDeleteIs that you Willow? Boy, that lack of education in your white trash family shines right on through.
Hey, parody artist on this thread: I get your jokes although others do not seem to. Ha. Ha.
ReplyDeleteWill the book cover that what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be?
ReplyDeleteThere is Track, Sarah claims to be the proud mother of a combat vet. Sarah just can't be the proud mother of a military son in Iraq, not good enough for her. Sarah stood in Washington DC and shared with the world that the Pitbull with Lipstick from Wasilla raised a soldier, not just any old soldier, but a combat vet! Sad to say for Sarah, there is no combat vet prop to carry around or purple heart for Sarah to display.
Track's discharge papers let Sarah down, no combat medal to be seen. Like Bristol, Track disappeared in shame in his mother's eyes.
Again what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be.

ReplyDeleteWaiting patiently for the public nervous breakdown! How will the Bots-RAM-Fundie backers spin this one?
ReplyDeleteIcebergs ahead! Congrats to all!!
Will the book cover that what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be?
ReplyDeleteThen there is the marriage between Sarah and Todd. They keep telling people they are married, they are in love, but after hearing Sarah sought comfort in the arms of Todd's good buddy and snow machine business partner, their business quickly fell apart like their friendship did. Then later on Todd finds companionship and love in the arms of another woman that he was not getting at home. Strange, there is no divorce or separation for the Palins, is this a marriage of monetary convenience? People in love shows they are heart broken or in counseling when one or both partners strays from the other, but not the Palins. They ignore that Love emails are being sold on the internet and they are very quiet about it. What a strange marriage and relationship these two have.
Again, what you see of the Palins is really not what it appears to be.
I'm so glad it's coming out within this next month or so. Was worried that somehow, somewhere, it would be sabotaged or not picked up by a publisher. Thank goodness - the timing couldn't be any better! Nice father day gifts for the old white guys who thought they loved Sarah.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's the Barracuda Triangle. Dunn, McGinniss, and now Bailey.
ReplyDeleteYea! I'll purchase this for sure and the new books coming out about Palin by McGinnis and Geoffrey Dunn.
ReplyDeleteLike the idea of the emails being released in his book (as proof sources, I'm sure) as well as Parnell's Administration having to release the Palin emails (her Administration) on 5/31. I'm sure there will be coordination done between the two sets....by numerous folks.
ReplyDeleteThis summer is going to be a kick w/all that is coming out about Mrs. Palin. FINALLY!
It's shaping up to be a great summer! Beach reads, anyone?
ReplyDeleteWillow at 9:55, Bristol at 10:54. Homeschooling in the Palin household finally pays off.
ReplyDeleteTo the anon that keeps posting using the word "libruls":
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that people intentionally misspell "liberals" as "lubruls" to make fun of the way some uneducated people say it. Right?
Swift vetting must mean that there is no legal problem with his using his own emails for this.
ReplyDeleteyay
I bet he doesn't even know the full implications of what he has.
Dunn + Bailey + McGinniss = The Palin Trifucta

ReplyDeleteCNN has picked up the story!
ReplyDeletehttp://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/18/chilling-expose-on-palin-to-be-released/
It's pretty cool that those who have copies of the rough draft haven't compromised it by posting the entire thing online. It was great reading but I'll be buying the book as well...
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled for AKM et al., there were, I am sure long tedious hours of shoveling crap in going through the Semigov's emails and trying to make a coherent manuscript out of bus loads of word salad with BS dressing.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I just got giddy!!! Hate to admit it, but it's true. This grifter deserves to be behind bars for all she's done to the State of Alaska, Alaska taxpayers, Wasilla taxpayers, and on and on and on.
ReplyDeletePlus me for all the time I've spent. But it's more about the horror of John McNasty and the media not vetting her and unleashing her on the public. May May John McCain rot in hell for that and may Sarah Palin rot in jail for all she's taken.
Thanks Gryphen for all that you do. I got sick of her a long time ago, but got hooked on your blog. You are the best!!
R in NC
Can't wait to buy a copy.
ReplyDeleteThe book title is a play in McGinniss' "Blind Faith."
ReplyDeleteAlt title: "Fall of the House of Palin." It surely has been a horror story. Will Johnny Depp play Vincent Price?
Anonymous 9:37AM & 10:03AM:
ReplyDeleteNo, Track ought not get shielded from anything! Recall he cost the school district a ton of $ for disabling the school buses. Then those escapades cost Monegan his job because he refused to fire Wooten. Wooten's territory covered the school bus area where the incidents occurred, so $P needed Wooten gone.
Doubtful getting rid of Wooten had anything to do with domestic quarrels - $P just needed to keep her political path clean - so Tawd breaks the laws of confidentiality and goes after Wooten.
Did that all fail so they shipped Track out of state 'til he was old enough to go to the Army? His "buddies" got caught red-handed but covered for him. $P paid how much to make that happen?
Drugs, ETOH & other events are well documented as part of Track's activities.
$P said he was in combat but those seem to be contradicted rumors.
The despicable military gun man whose photos of horrendous murders of innocent Afghan civilians has been viral on the internet is referred to in the media coverage as an inappropriately physically aggressive player when he was in school, and now named as the leader in the grotesque killings, and as a friend of Track Palin.
Excuse Track Palin from anything? Why?
Love that book cover, Sarah looks like a "madam". Ha ha
ReplyDeleteLove the cover!
ReplyDeleteJust pre-ordered with free 2 day delivery from Amazon. Amazon suggested I purchase an empathy belly or a fake pregnancy test to go with the book. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteOne thing about this book getting released is that it will show the emails that Sarah's crnies from the Alaskan government were planning on hiding.
ReplyDeleteNow that the book will reveal Palin's emails uncensored, the Alaskan government will probably wait to compare emails.
So much for trying to be sneaky and using Yahoo mail to hide your corruption and stupidity.
It’s all coming back to bite Sarah in her crooked ass and Alaska waits.
What a great leader that Sarah is. She has all that money to put her kids in college and what is Track doing? Taking flying lessons!
ReplyDeleteWhat is Bristol doing? Still hoeing around with the different boys just like she used to do.
What about Willow? I don't know, I heard she does not live at home.
What about Piper? Sarah must me forcing her to go to school or hired a tutor. I'm sure Sarah does not want another retard Palin child doing the same stupid shit her older brother and sisters did.
PRIOR: Excuse Track Palin from anything? Why?
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: Because Track had nothing to do with who his bio/psychological/legal parent is/are, and Track has not sought the spotlight, and who the sperm donor is irrelevant to the political discussion in ways that Trig's history isn't.
Don't excuse him for his bad
behavior. THat's fine with me. I don't see it as a license to hurt him for things he had no control over, and I think the argument is mean-spirited, rather than searching for the truth.
PRIOR: There are casualties to innocents in all battles... Track's parentage may be one of them.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: I agree. And they are all tragic. And should never be considered cavalierly and unworthy of considering how to proceed.
I consider the Trig story legitimate enough to pursue. It's not just about his parentage. It's about a political hoax - about passing two or three babies off as one, etc.
Track doesn't seem to me to be a necessary casualty. Perhaps I am mistaken, but the only thing I have picked up on is a mean-spiritedness. What is the politically relevant story that makes it relevant.
I just pre-ordered my 2 copies from Amazon.

ReplyDeleteRESPONSE - Wrong. It IS another political lie. Track is another political lie - her "combat vet." If his parentage is also a lie, it's relevant and it's Sarah Palin's fault. It's not "mean-spirited" to want to know what the truth is, especially when Track's been mentioned fifty times in public speeches as a great example to our nation of her terrific family - words from his own mother in the speeches she's been paid to make.
PRIOR: Wrong. It IS another political lie. Track is another political lie - her "combat vet." If his parentage is also a lie, it's relevant and it's Sarah Palin's fault
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: The assertion of his being a "combat vet" is pertinent. I feel badly for him that his mom uses him, but it seems legitimate issue.
I'm missing how Track's parentage is a political issue. She hasn't lied to the nation. Todd is Track's legal father. I don't get where the lie is - and she wouldn't be the first fundamental Christian with a similar issue. Lots of people make lots of mistakes (if this was a mistake) when they are young. It was over 20 years ago.
Are you really advocating that she should come out and tell the nation about a sperm donor - and disrupt her son's life, her other children's lives and the lives of the other family! That seems just mean to Track and all the other children involved.
Forgive me, @7:36, but I've tired of the quaint dialectic.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am suggesting that the truth about the Palin "family values," including lies about any members of their "perfect American family" have become political issues and fair game. He was not even a true "Combat Vet," in terms of how he served and he served less time than most are required to do. If Sarah Palin had not, from August 2008, introduced & continued to feature Track and her other children in all her speeches, appearances and TV show episodes, then it would not be pertinent. But she did, over and over again. She made Track Palin a public figure, bragged about him, and held him up, rhetorically speaking, in much the same way she did Trig. She emblematized Track Palin. If you think Trig is a political issue, you cannot say Track is not. She did it to both of her sons, and her daughters as well. So yes, the truth about her perfect American Palin family is relevant, because she made them all part of her "campaign" and continues to mention them as part of her trademarked "educational/entertainment" brand.
The book is up on Amazon now. Have a look at the tags.
ReplyDelete"Quitter" is in first place followed by "fake pregnancy" and "sociopath."
I wonder how long that will stay up?
Do you think Sarah will read Bailey's book? Sarah did say she reads everything.

ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: I think Track's service (or lack thereof) and even the reason for his service is legitimate. The information is fairly recent, and relates to the claims she makes about him. The behavior was egregious, and even if she wasn't on the national stage, she was already on the political stage in Alaska's media. He knew that when he did whatever he did. I feel badly and mixed about it, but I can see validity to the issue.
But Todd is Track's father. Whoever the sperm donor is, it happened over 20 years ago. It happens to lots of people. Some of them are very decent people 20 years later. Some were decent people when it happened. Legally, it is totally irrelevant. Todd is legally the father, and he stepped up and became the psychological father. To put Track, who doesn't need, and hasn't asked, to be put on the national stage makes things much more difficult for him. And this appears to be a kid who doesn't need things to be made more difficult, he has enough troubles already.
If Sarah had told everyone she adopted a child (Trig), I would say the history behind all of the Trig story was irrelevant too. SP would be the legal parent and that's all we're entitled to know (unless she ceases to be the psychological parent, and then that's fair game).
SP has made her kids part of her campaign. I'm guessing they have had no say in the matter which makes me more cautious about treading on his privacy (Bristol is a different story although I have some mixed feelings about it. But not so mixed that I think it's all off limits). There is so much to knock about SP's "family values" that I don't see Track's parentage as all that valuable a story. I think it just makes this side look vindictive. To take a child, and his siblings (bio & psychological) and splash this on the national/international news when it might amount to some very small degree in showing her to be a fraud (because there is soooooooo much other stuff) about something that happened 20 years ago seems cruel to me. Cruel to Track. Cruel to B, W, P & T, cruel to the sperm donors children. It requires them to deal wtih things, on a national stage, and I don't like doing that to kids.

ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: I don't have an insurmountable problem with look at Track's service record, given his mother's statements.
I don't have an isurmountable problem with looking at Track's behavior that lead him to the service.
PLease explain to me how revealing a sperm donor to the nation will help reveal SP's true nature. It will show Todd to be a stand up guy.
Track had some control over whether to go into the service. And his conduct in the service. And his conduct in the years before that lead him into the service. He had no control over his DNA. Nor do his siblings.
And there is no fraud. Todd is Track's father.
I think if the story of Track's parentage made national news it would
1. warm the Bots because it proves once again she didn't abort
2. Make Todd a stand up guy - which from what I know he is in this instance (not in a lot of other instances, but in this instance)
3. Alienate the swing voters who will look at it as politics of personal destruction.
4. The liberals probably won't care so much about personal, consensual behavior.
Sometimes when a person uses weak, gratuitous or mean-spirited arguments, it weakens the stronger arguments because it looks like the person is willing to throw the kitchen sink in, whether it's relevant or not. I think there's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much out there, I don't understand not caring about hurting an innocent (and Track's behavior as an adult is not innocent, but if considering the circumstances of his birth, he is an innocent.)
@5:46 & 5:57 - On Team Track's PR team, eh? Your willingness to deny the ramifications of Palin's behavior in regards to making her children public figures--and setting them up as emblematic of her Christianized entertainment brand--is irrelevant and illogical. The truth about the Palin family is the exact opposite of her branded, trademarked image; Track is a part of that deception. The truth about his paternity is just aspect of that deception. It's coming out whether you object to it or not. It's already in Bailey's e-mails.
