While some may consider them competitors, Joe McGinniss has nothing but kind words of support for Geoffrey Dunn's book.

From The Rogue Blog:

I’ve gotten to know Jeff over the past couple of years. It has been a privilege and it continues to be a joy. People might tend to think that two authors working on books about the same subject would view one another, at best, as rivals. More often than not, that’s probably true. But Jeff and I have never felt that way. We have been open and honest with each other from the start and we’ve never felt ourselves to be in competition. We have, in fact, helped each other as much and as often as we could along the way. Just checking my emails, I see that Jeff and I have corresponded more than 150 times since I left Alaska last September. And that’s in addition to the time we’ve spent talking on the phone.

So there’s no rivalry here: Bravo, il mio grande amico! Tanti auguri!

I have also recently finished reading Geoffrey's book "The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power" and I can tell you that it is magnificent.

There was much I did not know, and much more that I had forgotten.  Jeff has done an amazing job of laying bare the truth of just who Sarah Palin is, and though there are certainly more truths yet to be told, his book leaves no doubt as to just what kind of person the Grizzled Mama is, and always has been.

It is also noteworthy that those who have come together to reveal these truths about one of the most divisive political figures of our time, have become fast friends who have shared information and provided each other support, all while working to reveal to America the truth that lurks behind the Palin mythologies.

I have also enjoyed that same sense of camaraderie with these two great men, as well as among my fellow bloggers, who have also selflessly shared information, provided much needed emotional and moral support, and promoted each others accomplishments like members of a close knit family.

With only one notable exception, I have to say that I have found working with these dedicated professionals to be an amazing and uplifting experience. 

Sarah Palin had millions of dollars at her disposal and a plethora of media support that made her a force to be reckoned with.  All we had was our dedication, our now virtually worn out  keyboards, and our desire to tell a truth that she desperately did not want told.

Jeff Dunn's magnificent book is the first of three truly devastating broadside hits that will pierce the seemingly impervious hull of the Sarah Palin battleship and forever sink it into the murky depths of obscurity.

And to that all I have to say is, good riddance!

    Gryphen, you and Joe might want to change "Jeff" to "Geoff." That's the correct spelling when the "long form" is Geoffry.

    Kudos to you, Gryphen.

    On the surface it may seem strange that so many people are dedicated to destroying one person—Sarah Palin—but we do this because she is dangerous and bad for this country, and even for the world. She is the embodiment of what our elected officials and power-holders must not be. If the country is to support someone such as her, the country will fall into ruin. We must turn away from her brand of politics in order to thrive and be strong.

    It's much like the case with the death of Bin Laden. While it feels strange to celebrate someone's death, we know that his removal from this world is for the better. And so it is with Palin—remove her from any position of influence and the world will be a better place.

    I am struck by the core truth that so many who have gone after Sarah Palin have done so for genuinely altruistic, deeply patriotic reasons.

    We know our American democracy is far from perfect, that it is a fragile thing prone to abuses, and yet we understand its real potential as a framework of self-determination - that it is truly of the people, by the people and for the people, in the end. The road is long, but the effort is worth it.

    This is not about fame and glory, or money. This is about doing our duty, as citizens - whether as professionals or folks just wanting to participate and have their voices be heard.

    The truth will out, and will set us free. Always has been so, and always will be.

    This is a great book for those who want to read about Sarah Palin and know more about her personality, her likes, her dislikes, how she spends her leisure time, and a whole lot of other things about her. And it says nothing new about what we who are our detractors want to know. What a lovely read on a lovely subject for a summer day at the beach!

    After reading the post @ Joe's site, I went over to C4P so I could throw up my breakfast. To me, it is beyond all credulity that those posters actually believe what they do about her. They make it sound as if her presidency is a foregone conclusion.
    It occurs to me that if she does decide to run, what will the other candidates do as far as investigating her behavior; both current and past. Does anyone think that they will challange her in the same that we do? Will anyone of them ask her to produce medical records or explain her complete lack of judgement in the self-described "wild ride"? Will they ask her to explain away the newly released books and soon to come emails? And if so, how will the c4p'ers react?

    Since I was not alive when Joe McCarthy used his brand of demonization to try to tear this country apart; I have been appalled at what has passed for the present day national discourse. Palin has driven that discourse into the mud and backed a truck over what it truly means to be patriotic. She has not one patriotic bone in her body.

    Sarah Palin embodies all things shameful that I was taught AMERICANS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE. She is Ignorant, intolerant, dishonest, racist, close-minded, uneducated, xenophobic and vicious. She is also what happens when mediocrity, reality television and our national obsession with celebrity encounters media mogul svengalis, corporate greed and teeming fascism.

    I knew two minutes after Sarah Palin oozed out that nasty speech at the RNC that something had changed. There were no better angels in that convention center. The GOP has gone down further than I ever thought they could. I believe they
    are getting their karma from the fact that they enabled this madwoman and others like her because of their unhinged hate of a black president.

    Palin has made sure in every one of her disgusting actions and word salad comments that her and her ilk, will indeed, have to watch all their chickens come home to roost.

    You can order the book just as easily from Amazon.com instead of Amazon.ca. The U.S. price ($14 something i think) plus a bit higher shipping cost, still equal a much lower final cost than if you order from Amazon.ca. And it should arrive almost as quickly. I'm in British Columbia, and it works for me. My book is on it's way.

    Joe McGinniss needs to get his book out sooner if he wants his book to still be relevant, and before anymore people start becoming more bored with her. I'm sure Sarah's populaity with her fan base must be sliding fast now that it looks pretty certain she will not be running for President. I would also like to hear how she defends herself after the books come out. She will probably not say a word so she doesn't acknowledge the book even exists. Conservative4Palin will be having a fit over it, that's for sure. They'll be making all their usual excuses and try to make a rediculous argument on how it's a hit piece and not truthfull.

  37. Off the book topic for a moment, I believe that using Obama's race works to rev up the ignorant bigots and push things in the direction the guys behind the curtain want, but the real purpose behind it is to get rid of any man (or woman, color/sex interchangeable) who is threatening their money. They'll use the slash and burn method on anyone who threatens their bank accounts.

    After the convention it did not pass the smell test that the alleged awesome governor of AK was sheltered from interviews so the masses could be dazzled by her amazing self. Why was she not nationally known if she was freaking amazing? It appeared to be a diversion or smoke screen when the no. One talking point was she's being attacked!
    My suspicion later confirmed was Palin was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

    I believe it was courageous of Colin Powell and other credible people to come forward speaking up that Palin was not qualified or fit for the job. I believe the repubs gambled calculating the advantage of a female pro life to swing Hillary Clinton supporters and "fire up the base". I don't want to believe they knew ahead that Palin was so lacking or had gotten far utilizing her wiles, charms, snark or lying with ease disregarding facts and truth.

    If push comes to shove I hope CBS would release tapes or the McCain team come clean for the future of our country and the world.

    NEW YORK — The Bio Channel is giving Bristol Palin a reality series.

    The network said Monday that Palin will star in a 10-episode series. She is the daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and a former contestant on "Dancing With the Stars."

    The new series will follow her move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity.

    The single mom will live with actor brothers Kyle and Christopher Massey. The network says Kyle Massey is a fellow "Dancing" contestant and good friend.

    Besides reality TV, the 20-year-old Palin has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars as a spokeswoman working to prevent teen pregnancy.

    Her as-yet-untitled series is slated to air in late 2011.

    What happened to the Arizona gig? Has sne moved back to Alaska already?

    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree: Bristol Palin, like her mom, will star in her own reality show. The as yet untitled series has been picked up by BIO (the channel formerly known as The Biography Channel), which has ordered 10 half-hour episodes, and is set to follow "Bristol Palin's move from Alaska to Los Angeles with her son, Tripp, to work at a small charity." She will be moving in with fellow Dancing with the Stars contestant Kyle Massey—with whom she's become "best friends"—and his brother Christopher.

    The show could be a smart move for BIO—Palin was a ratings hit on DWTS and reality shows featuring teen mothers are all the rage, with tons of potential for free press. On BIO exec said, "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for several years but this will be the first time she's opening up her real life, with her son and her friends the Massey Brothers." The show is set to premiere in late 2011.

    BREAKING NEWS:

    OMG - We are being subjected to another major lame reality show.

    BristleButt is moving to LA to move in with 19 yr Kyle Massey (of DWTS and Disney) and his 21 yr old brother. Tripp will be there too.

    The show will follow BristleButt as she works at a small charity, which was not named. Ten half-hour episodes of the show will air on the BIO Channel later this year.

    Firstly - I liked (past tense) Kyle but he can kiss his career goodbye. Must be desperate for a job!!

    Secondly - can we think of anything more boring than what they describe it as.

    Guess she 'tanked' on the radio gig in AZ.

    Just saw on Yahoo that apparently Bristol is going to have her own reality show where she'll live with two guys. Well, I never knew that is how someone practiced abstinence!

    I suspect you (Gryphen) attended the court today. It will be interesting to hear what happened knowing that Chuckles and Cole are still trying to obtain an order too even though I believe they lost last time.

    Looking forward to receiving my book tomorrow. Gryph, I had to laugh at the "worn out keyboard" comment, as mine has all the letters worn thin and the "L" is completely invisible. My spouse wants me to replace it, but I'm a touch typist, so I don't care. It's like an old friend. Anyway, let the deluge begin!

    G, what's your take on Bristol moving to LA and moving in with the Massey Brothers to make a reality show also with Tripp along? She will work with a small charity (Graham's???) there; the christian right is going to choke when she moves in with the african american brothers.

    Can you say "menage a trois"?
    Now Bristle can practice TWICE the abstinence she usually engages in. Or is it PAUSING before she PLAYS?
    Whatever, you guys best be real careful and wrap that rascal if y'all be messin' with that skank!

    I've read Dunn's book - just more of the same rehashed rumors and "I heard this" from anonymous sources.

    None of these anti-Palin books will have the slightest effect.

    Good that you can read. Unfortunate that you can not think.

    It seems political pretense is a means to the Palins ends. This next reality show and face change removes any doubts Palin pulled one over.

    I have already purchased it.

    The damage this woman has done to our country, let alone the good Name of my Lord and Savior must be exposed.She means no good for our country, our planet and represents the worst of the spirit of evil to come in days ahead.

    "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron." 1 Tim 4:1-2

    Sound familiar?

    May God have mercy on our country in this time of deception. I believe we are better than Sarah Palin. Thank you Lord for showing who she really belongs to.

    Was planning to pick it up at Borders (I have a membership) when it hit the bestseller list, but decided I couldn't wait. Have it arriving on my Kindle at midnight...little less than two hours here in Colorado!

    It really makes me mad that the Palinbots are already writing reviews about the book before it's released.
    These people have NO morals just like Sarah. I wrote B & N asking them how there could be a negative review when the book hadn't been released yet. If it's happening at amazon I hope others do this as well and post counter arguments.
    I swear these idiots already have their talking points ready. Sarah and RAM and Toad-- they do not learn that they only make themselves look bad. They should learn to shut up when it's appropriate too. But they don't. So they sound childish, petty and defensive.

    I speed read most of Geoffrey Dunn's book at Border's this afternoon. There's a big mistake where he writes of Steve Schmidt's gathering SP's children together to tell them of their mother's running for VP. They think they're there to celebrate their parents' "twenty-fifth anniversary" and again on another page, their "silver anniversary"--but they married in 1988, so it must have been their 20th.
    Also, coincidentally, it was John McCain's birthday.
    Also, darn it, there are no pictures in the book....
    Didn't buy it, I'll wait for Joe McGinniss' epic.
