Sarah Palin to write a new book. Update!

Publisher HarperCollins announced Wednesday that the former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate is working on a "celebration of American virtues and strengths." The book is currently untitled and no release date has been set.

Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue," released last fall by HarperCollins, has sold more than 2 million copies. Her new work will "include selections from classic and contemporary readings that have inspired her, as well as portraits of some of the extraordinary men and women she admires and who embody her love of country, faith, and family," the publisher's statement reads.

"She will also draw from her personal experience to amplify these timely — and timeless— themes."

In an e-mail Wednesday, HarperCollins publisher Jonathan Burnham said that "a number of ideas and concepts" were explored with Palin. "This is the idea which appealed the most to her," he said, adding that she is currently "gathering ideas and identifying favorite texts and examples."

How could anybody publish a book about "virtues and strengths" with Sarah freaking Palin's name on it? Is it supposed to be ironic?

So this will be a who's who of famous people that Palin will have to google to even identify?

Perhaps she can finally name ALL of those founding fathers she is so impressed with. You know like George Washington, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel L. Clemens, Ronald Reagan, Ronald McDonald, and Christopher Columbus.

Doesn't Harper Collins have any shame?

Update: And if that was not bad enough. Palin shopping around reality show.

Well I think we can finally put the whole running for president thing to bed now. After America gets a close up look at this family even most of the Palin-bots will be thanking their lucky stars that Barack Obama won the election.

Update 2: Of course who needs a reality show or book deals when you can just fill your pockets with tons of free stuff? Who in the hell needs 40 pairs of earphones anyway? Is THAT how her family drowns out that screechy voice of hers? (And before anybody else mentions it, yes I think that is Bristol with her in LA as well. I do believe that Willow is in pretty hot water here at home. And yes that is foreshadowing. Stay tuned!)

(Whoops I stand corrected it looks like Willow is ALSO in LA. My bad.)

Update 3: This site identifies the girl with Sarah as Bristol, but to be honest from the picture I cannot tell. The reason I did not think it was Willow is because of a new rumor swirling around up here. I may know more tomorrow.

    So what's the story behind the story. As best I understand, SP made money off the last book. The publisher maybe, maybe not, depending on how many books they distributed. Then a several organizations "lost" money but I wonder if it was just a scheme that allowed them to funnel money to SP without strings, PACS, trust funds, etc.
    So does someone want to funnel more money to SP? Who? Why?
    Or maybe I'm way off base and there is no story behind the story.

  9. Doesn't Harper Collins have any shame?

    Probably not. It's a measure of how desperate the publishing industry is becoming nowadays. Just as newspapers are having problems in the age of the internet, so are traditional book publishers. And as a corporation, they are slave to their bottom line. However her books sell, whether through people paying the real price or through C4P or SarahPAC buying up a crapload of them & then selling them for dirt cheap (or giving them away... or taking them to the dump)... fact is that they sell.

    So SP is good for Harper Collins, even if she's bad for the forests. Not to mention the nation.

    The theme of the book reminds me of the Texas State Board of Education, populated by a faction of ultraconservatives like Palin who want to bring creationism and global-warming denial into science class, and downplay the contributions of the civil rights movement. American history is being rewritten and Joe McCarthy is being rehabilitated by these morons.

  23. It is not even going to be ghost written. Sounds to me kind of like it is going to be (1) a collection of poems, verses, short stories and refrigerator magnet platitudes written by many, many others and (2) a bunch of wikipedia extracts, written by others, about the lives of famous people.

    She will work to find things not attributable to any one person so she doesn't have to pay any copyright fees. This way, she does not have to share $$$ with anyone. I suspect this is work that Bristol is going to do for her under that new LLC. She grabs up a bunch of stuff and publishes her little book of plagerized works and the bots buy it up like candy.

    Bristol makes a little money, mama makes a lot of money. Such a fine idea.

    Y'all are just jealous. Every time someone mocks underdogs, blue collar individuals, and "rednecks", a little bit of America dies. the majority is not New York, LA, Boston, Seattle, DC, or any other metropolis. Just because people choose other forms of happiness besides big bucks doesn't devalue their worth in this country. No one can say for certain HOW sincere Sarah is. Is it a bad thing to want to provide for her family (all of them). Wouldn't anyone else do the same if success beckoned them? Don't be jealous. People say hateful things about Rachael Ray, who is one of the most generous people ever to grace our televisions. I think we all know Sarah will never become a world leader, and I'm not sure she wants that. She's proving that anyone can have a voice if one is persisent and obstinate enough. Isn't that a quality we should be demonstrating to our children, not to take shit and no for an answer when we know things aren't right? And things aren't right with our world. We have a lame duck, conceited president (whom I feel sorry for), it's been proven that Islam will prevail over all other methods of thought including population of muslims, Europe is proving to be a failure, Congress needs to follow in that Rhode Island schools foot steps with the firings of EVERYONE.

    Instead of ruining one person's (+family) life, why not aid an entire country from falling apart. One cannot blame a single president without blaming corrupt businessmen. Things indeed have bettered since the lynchings from way back when. We cannot continue to breed hate with hate.

    No, they need another best seller and know anything with Palin's name on it will do the trick.
    Does Sarah Palin have any shame?
    No, this is a woman who will do anything if there is a dollar sign attached to it and the promise of another book tour with her adoring public.
    Do either the publisher or the "author" care that the book will be written by someone else?
    No, not at all. Both parties win.

    The book's topics gagged me. All I can see is another book tour with Piper (not in school) and Trig (not being cared for properly) but Sarah will have her much needed fix of adulation.

    It also will give her a new supply of talking points when she becomes an "inspirational speaker" on the lecture circuit after the tour. Less government etc. is getting rather tired.
    It makes me so angry that a women of no substance and who lacks the ability to construct a coherent sentence receives a second book deal.

    I think she should focus on writing something in the suspense/thriller/sex novel category.

    Plotline:

    Middle-aged cougar supermom married to a gay/disaffected/yet into remaining married for the money and power husband has multiple affairs and multiple babies by those affairs. Second generation drama of her daughters doing the same thing. Lots of babies, lots of photo ops with stunt babies and/or drugged babies, dances with Hollywood career, failure at Hollywood career, retirement to Alzheimer's and seriously mentally ill ward of the old folks home - prematurely, at the age of just 51. The beginning of the "end" is her failed attempts to seduce her daughter's baby daddy and exposure of same to world in tabloids, TV reality shows, and books later turned into a TV miniseries starring Teri Hatcher.

    Happy endings all around.

    Virtues? Buwahahaha. Yeah, the virtues of:

    not parenting your kids

    feeding a lying moral line about your unwed pregnant underage teen

    destroying your now not-to-be teen son-in-law for pleasure

    vindictiveness as an artform

    using your children as emotional/political shields

    how to lie about your entire life effectively

    not pay taxes and lie about it

    take credit for things other people write for you

    Just to name a few. Then we have the strengths:

    allowing your husband to be the Gov when you were actually elected

    mangling the English language so as to porttray herself as "one of us"...meaning the idiots that follow her

    How to land a faux news job and use "hand written" notes"

    How to make god responsible for your entire life except when you fail...then it's someone else's fault.

    Oscar gold got a little red, white and blue Wednesday in Los Angeles: Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin stopped by the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite with daughter Willow and grandson Tripp.

    Benefiting the Red Cross, the swag suite snagged the former vice presidential candidate for photo ops and gifting from beauty and luxury sponsors. At the Interior Illusions store in West Hollywood, Palin received jewels from Pascal Mouawad, watches by Skagen and Unite hair care products.

    I'm told the oft-parodied politico donated all of her gift items back to the Silver Spoon for auction, as well as about $1,700 of her own cash, in support of multiple Red Cross efforts, including those in Haiti and Chile.

    Ok I have two immediate thoughts here. First, it's entirely possible Sarah's original book deal hinged upon her delivering more than one book, and in a specific timeframe.

    Second - Seriously, do you think the uneducated masses which we know to be her 'base' of followers,will be as eager to buy this second book if it's more about history and less about the soap opera life of their hero? Do you think the bookstores which are burdened with boxes of unsold copies of 'Going Rogue' will be so quick to stock up on the next one?

    2 million copies sold - that's not even McDonald's on a bad day. Agatha Christie still sells more than this and she's been dead for thirty years.

    This next Sarah Tome, if nothing more than essays of other authors, is doomed from the start. I totally agree with all of the above who've commented on the sad waste of trees.

    "Things indeed have bettered since the lynchings from way back when. We cannot continue to breed hate with hate." Yes - these are your own words, now re-read your post and think about what you've written. He/she refers to trying to destroy one's family (?) I think she's done a pretty good job of that herself. Let's review - Oldest joined the army because of a school bus vandalism charge, next oldest has had at least one illegatimate child while being a spokesperson for abstenance ( I couldn't make this stuff up ), Next oldest is awaiting trial for breaking and entering, vandalism and underage drinking, next to next oldest is in her early teens and yet to practice her mothers form of "love of country, faith and family" but had asked if she could pull the hair of one of her mothers detractors.( good start young lady ) The youngest, well time will tell. If Sarah provides the parenting skills she's used on the other three on the other two - it will not be boring.

    To the "leave sarah alone" anonymous at 2:39, you know the one who thinks we're all just jealous?

    First, by far, the majority of American live in metropolitan areas. And they (we) are just as "real" as any other Americans, despite what Sarah said. Remember she said that? She made distinctions about who is a real American and who isn't? Doesn't that bother you?

    Second, please spare us you old, tire shtick. We've heard it before from you and from Sarah. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't lie, whore out my children (metaphorically speaking, of course), say hateful things about my opponents, laugh at a woman who is a cancer survivor, encourage vile and dangerous rhetoric, etc etc just to make a buck. Or perhaps you think that IS the American way. Personally, I think people like Sarah Palin are exactly what's wrong with this country. We have become a nation of reality tv shows and American idol worshipers.

    Jealous? did I lose my way and find myself on a teenie-bopper gossip blog? Get a grip! We're not talking about Miley Cyrus or Britney Spears, or even Rachel Ray, here. We're talking about a woman who was this close to the white house and a woman who continues to spew gibberish about national politics and policies and somehow people actually listen to her.

    If she writes a book like this, the aim is simple:

    1) Increase her exposure
    2) Encourage voters to make a mental association between her and political giants (thereby putting her on a Presidential level)
    3) Mentally associate her as a policy wonk, without doing any work on her own, just by using other peoples' quotes!
    4) Shape her political identity so people see her more and more as a real political figure.

    In essence, it's an amazing smoke and mirrors game when you stop and remember that she is truly an empty vessel.

    As soon as I saw the concept, I thought === of course, she would like it. She thinks all she needs to do is come up w/ key words, find stories, etc. online and pop them in her book.

    But, Gryphen, of course, you beat me to it. (grin)

    Oh, wait a minute, I forgot her publisher didn't fact check the first book, so, why would they have an issue with this one.

    Maybe there will even hire a team of people to sit and do this for her? She will get to use her own name this time like it all came out of her little old head and everything.

    Of course, the difference with this book is if she does it the way we probably think she will...there should be plagiarism lawsuits out the ying yang.

    The best part will be, when it is ready for publication and $P finds herself or some family member indicted unless it happens before she starts googling.

    At that point, she might have to read her own book to find the strength to deal with it.

    When I think of all of the talented writers and thinkers out there that we will never have the opportunity to know about, it disheartens me.

    She can use Mark Twain's quote and twist it a bit (not that she realizes it), but it is still not her idea.

    "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." Mark Twain, (attributed) US humorist, novelist,...

    "It's like the old saying where a lie can travel halfway around the world before truth even has a chance to get its pants on in the morning." Sarah Palin to Jay Leno (3/2/10)

    Special family outings: As a family, our vacation time is very special and we have visited the following national parks and historic places around the United States, blanks to be filled in later.

    The importance of education, or to quote one of Sarah's political heroes, "Is our children learning?"

    OK, I know what those cheeks remind me of..Remember the movie Beaches with Bette Midler? Early in her career, the movie has an off-broadway show where she sings a dark song "Oh Industry" and the characters have these masks with great big round cheeks. That's what Sarah's cheek implants look like.

    Following anon 5:32's remark, I would like to add that the real danger of Sarah Palin is that she is an empty vessel. She has not taken voice lessons. What ever she is doing to her face is a mess. But, despite the fact that she has nothing to say, there are plenty of people who still hang on her every shrill or ghostwritten word.

    Sarah is being used by some very dangerous characters who see her as the megaphone for their voice. Whether it is the Religious Right, Ultra Conservatives, Tea Baggers, the GOP, or the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, we don't have to give them a name. They are being funded by rich people like Rupert Murdoch who may be more interested in amassing power than a political agenda.

    This has to be said very loudly. Sarah is simply their mouthpiece, and she needs to be stopped. Whether it is Fred Malek, Richard Mellon Scaife, Reverend Dobson and Focus on the Family or somebody else behind the curtian, Sarah is the way they want to get their message out there. Her book will be their message.

    Please, oh please, good people in Alaska, if you know something to stop this madness, this is a very good time to send some anonymous tips and statements. Sarah has stopped running for president and instead is the spokesperson for some dangerous new world order movement. Help!

    Well, first of all, it would probably be worth your while to look up the meaning of the word "obstinate." Using the word, "obstinate," with the connotations that it carries with it, isn't helpful to your argument.

    Unwanted weeds that grow in vegetable gardens could be considered obstinate. Diseases that are untouched, no matter what the medical treatment are tried: obstinate. Smart-mouthed twelve and thirteen year olds can be obstinate, not to mention a real pain in the butt.

    And, by the way, "blue collar individuals" are not necessarily rednecks, and vice versa. In fact, there are an awful lot of rednecks strutting around in white shirts and ties. It's what's going on above those blue or white collars and neck ties that makes a difference in this world we live in.

    And, although there is nothing wrong with being persistent or a little stubborn when a person recognizes that something isn't right, for those behaviors to be helpful or meaningful, they need to be accompanied with clear, reasonable and workable solutions.

    It has been my observation that if anyone has an interest in watching, in full living color, someone breeding hate with hate, one only needs to turn on the 700 Club.

    The fact is, that Gryphen has a rather limited audience, here. On the other hand, using the billions that Mr. Robertson bilks out of little old ladies, he often sends his minions out to breed as much hate and distrust as he can muster among people who are otherwise just minding their own business.

    And, one final thing. Please do yourself a favor and look up the meaning of "lame duck." The current President has neither announced that he will not run for a second term, nor is he currently in a second (and therefore his final term)--so that label does not apply to him at this current time.

    P.S. During the last campaign--when Joe not the plumber was prancing around as if there was an ounce of substance in his tall tale, I had the occassion to call licensed plumber for some repair work. As this blue collar worker went about his work, we discussed the campaign. Mr. Authentic and Licensed Plumber laughed out loud at Joe not the plumber--he shook his head in disgust at Sarah, the less than nurturing mother, and went so far as to suggest that McCain's election might put our country on the brink of ruination.

    No, someone wearing a blue collar is not necessarily a red neck. A blue collar worker who has bothered to take the time to become informed about the world we live in, makes intelligent observations and comes to rational conclusions based upon this input is--A real American.

    On the other hand, a person who is wearing a white collar and tie, or Naughty Monkeys, who celebrates and manipulates ignorance simply ain't necessarily--A real American. And, that isn't breeding hate--that is telling like it is.

    Please invest in a combined Dictionary/Thesaurus.

  95. I confess that the story about Mark Burnett and Palin shopping a reality TV show makes me smile. NO ONE can make a train wreck more entertaining than Mark Burnett!

    Meanwhile, there is a bit of cognitive dissonance going on over a C4P. First, they had to convince themselves that Mrs. Palin was "presidential" on Jay Leno. Then, they had to convince themselves that her forthcoming Moose Soup for the Soul is every bit the equal of JFK's Profiles in Courage. Now, they are in contortions trying to reconcile the news of their leader shopping a reality TV show with her future as President.

    POTUS can be "lame duck" in either the 1st or 2nd term of office. There's several ways to become "lame duck":

    -having lost a re-election bid

    -choosing not to seek another term at the expiration of the current term

    -a term limit which keeps the official from running for that particular office again

    -the abolishment of the office, which must nonetheless be served out until the end of the official's term

    "Palin presented a check donation to the Red Cross for $1,700 and then grabbed some serious goodies. She helped herself to United Hair Care products, jewels from Pascal Mouawad and Skagen watches. But the big stop was for AIAIAI earphones. "She really liked those, she took like 40," says Russo.

  120. Anonymous9:12 PM

    Anonymous writers at 2:07, 3:42, 5:00, and 6:33 are all correct in terms of questioning the behind-the-scenes scenario. With Palin, what we are not seeing is always much more important than what we are seeing: the visible portion is the illusion, the reality is what is underground.

    In addition to being a giant deflection ploy against the next onslaught of anticipated bad news for Sarah, the announcement for her second book is also step two of the Big Repackaging Effort – readying the national audience and setting the terms of discussion for the prolonged, nationwide lecture that is ahead. You know, the lecture about how things OUGHTTA BE, Sarah-style. This is probably why Meg had to be unceremoniously dumped at this juncture: far bigger and more experienced spin-meisters must now take the controls for the queen's next step. The powers behind her are convinced that she is their best bet for achieving their goals: a willing, nay eager, empty vessel. They are betting on her just as they bet on market stocks, and the dice have now been rolled.

    As to how the writing process might actually happen, MXM has some interesting thoughts. This time, they will make every effort to make it look as though Sarah were seasoned enough to do her own thinking and writing, to orchestrate and project her own version of national policy. The fact that it will be based on snippets and adages from famous people, taken out of context, and divisively delivered (its very purpose) will merely add to the controversy and audience size and, hence, the bottom line and marketability. By means of the book, the puppet-meisters will actually outline and dictate the terms of debate for 2012 – which is half the victory. The book is a very calculated part of step two. See? Sarah's much smarter now. She has completed the first two of Newt's recommended steps! Everyone will have to speak to Sarah's arguments and positions; any other debates and issues will be ignored. Step back and watch the media eat up these breadcrumbs.

    Meanwhile, the queen will become massively wealthier, will be schooled on how to comfortably socialize with those who formerly would have shunned her (and they will FALL FOR IT: witness the degree of awe and PR value that came from her dropping chump change into the Red Cross receptacle), and she will become as ubiquitous as the word 'and' in the English language. The next book tour will be a far more sophisticated effort as well, with stops at college and university campuses, coffee shops, and other locales where 'safe' 'intellectuals may gather. See the shiny object? Everybody talk about it first, and then get re-educated according to Sarah's and the puppet-meisters version of reality.

    But when it comes to the inner truth in terms of the real plot line at Casa de Palin, Anonymous 3:24 may be close – I have also raised my eyebrows at Todd since Day One. IF Anonymous 3:24 is correct, Sarah would be his perfect foil for living a secret life in the small-town setting of Wasilla, and no one would be the wiser. Wives are marvelous beards for conservatives, but children? LOTS of children? The best beard of all. IF Anonymous 3:24 is correct, Todd is an hombre who would not be outed by either conservatives OR liberals.

    She GAVE the charity a check for $1700.

    She GOT “… thousands of dollars worth of free goods. Some of the products Palin picked up included Bloom facial products, which she told the vendor she needed for her under-eye area…But don’t think Sarah stopped there. Palin grabbed some oversize sweatshirts and tie-dyed “jeggings” for Bristol, got a blowout by colorist Erick Orellana from the Chris McMillan Salon, along with snatching up jewelry from Pascal Mouawad, Skagen Watches, Lash Food and 40 pairs of Aiaiai headphones.
    A spokesperson for Aiaiai tells us Sarah said “they would be great for working out.”"

BTW what was that line "Palin grabbed some oversize sweatshirts and tie-dyed "jeggings" for Bristol" -- sounds like maternity gear! Three's the charm...

    And there is no way a hip LA stylist would get within 10 feet of that rat's nest. For one thing it is a completely different technique: the basic Jennifer Aniston look is a blow-out, straight, natural with a little product for fullness. Ms. Beehive Bumpit is a tacky, ratted, teased, streaked hot mess full of plastic hair accessories and extensions that you can't really blow out.

    As I said, that no one would just do a casual blow-out on Sarah's complex hair issues.

    But I really do believe that that is one of the other interchangeable teenagers -- doesn't matter in this case, but Willow/Lauden/Bristol/other cousins are often mislabeled in pictures. The press sees a young girl with $P and assumes it is one of her daughters. Exactly the same phenomenon as everyone looking at baby pictures and thinking they were all Trig. Pictures are tricky, people see what they want to see, and $P has used that to her advantage with Ruffles & Chunky.

    Do you really think Sarah donated $1700 or do you think it came from SarahPac? Then Sarah and the rest of her theiving family walks away with thousands of dollars worth of free stuff.

    Hillbilly garbage. Reminds me of the time when they had their free for all at Saks 5th at the cost of the GOP.

We're talking $10,000/day then on the road, even if she's paying them in swag -- the State of Alaska may have comped her but the Chateau Marmont won't! She is BURNING thru the speaker fees at this rate.

    She has to get this book out soon or at least before the 'bots realize she has no plans to run for President. Once that dream of theirs is crushed, reality will set in for some of them and they will realize she played them all for the fools they have been.

    Sarah is probably going to use Bristol for research and funnel money to her from the PAC, however, would that be a legal use of the PAC money? I'd really love to see her run for 2012 just to get a look at her personal financials. Wonder how much of all that personal money ended up in charities that are near and dear to her heart, like the DS Foundation? After all, she gave them almost half as much as she gave Michelle Bachman! Sort of shows just what is really important to her, doesn't it?

    She might have to actually read a few books in order to write this one. Also, too, will Vincent be her ghostwriter again? She had so much fun makin' stuff up for $arah in G.R. that I'm sure she's happy to do so again.

    This post convinces me even more that she wants to be the Oprah for religious extremists. Not only was there the experimental issue of Sarah magazine a few weeks ago, but now a book with inspirational essays intended to change American culture. The swag grab and insistence that everyone in her entourage get something reminds me of the staff shopping sprees Oprah is famous for. The big difference, of course, is that Oprah *actually pays* for whatever her staff picks up from the designated department store.

    Anonymous 9:12 has some interesting remarks. Her new team may try hard to use her for conservative campaigning, but my reaction to all the info in this post is that her political career is officially dead. Two Teabaggers have publicly denounced her as well as any number of GOP establishment types. Notice that none of the ones who openly question her abilities are current officeholders or work for Fox.

    I was listening to Howard Stern this morning and Barbara Walters was on. He asked her if she thought Palin was "intelligent." She said yes. Then Robin asked if she thought she was "informed" (better question) and Barbara said she didn't think so. She also mentioned that reality show and that she was clearly into making as much money as possible.

    The reality show, if it happens, will be scripted and won't reveal much.

    BUT.

    Going public even to that extent will put the Palins in Gosselin territory. They will become tabloid fodder and fair game for much closer mainstream examination than they have endured up until now.

    News outlets have avoided babygate because nobody wants to be first. Even the tabloids have been afraid to touch it. Now by going Hollywood, Sarah Palin is handing it to them on a silver platter. We know she will, as is her wont, hypocritically decry getting the Gosselin treatment, but the fact that she herself put her and her family's lives out there for public consumption will totally undermine her protests and unleash the gossip rags and sites and blogs even more.

    Palin ain't even gonna know what her.

    So far she's been able to hide behind the "daintiness" of the MSM, which is afraid not to cover for her lest she scold them for being mean and attacking her children. So far it's worked, and with her huge ego and power trip mentality, SP thinks she can continue to control the message, so she doesn't have a care in the world about doing a reality show. Why should she? Her ego is such that she truly believes this is a good way for her to be in charge of what gets out about her. This is her way of having her publicity cake and eating it too. You just know that in her mind, a reality show will elevate her to absolute sainthood in the public's mind.

    Ha! Is she ever going to have a rude, rude awakening. Once she opens that door, her and her family's personal business is going to be entirely up for grabs. She is truly too stupid and too arrogant to realize what she's setting herself up for.

    Even if she doesn't do the reality show, those images of her in the grifting suite, and the locust behavior, is already out there. SP just couldn't control herself when she saw all those goodies, and it has been duly noted. Her phony credibility has already taken a HUGE hit.

    Enjoy it, Ceepers. This is your queen in action. Greedy, coarse, oblivious, and in a free fall from her self-constructed throne.

    Get over it, Sarah is not scared of you or anything you or anyone else has to say. Especially anything about her children. She proves it every day with very new project, book, interview and with every $100,000 grand you wish you could pull in.

  172. The folks that have handled little Miss Wasilla from the get go are fully aware that the surest way to snag and keep this particular empty-headed little puppet in line is to play on her weaknesses. Of course, one of Sarah Palin's most glaring vulnerabilities is greed.

    It can't be repeated too often that:

    You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

    Sarah never has and never will have class--no matter how much money is poured into any number of PACs and LLCs and, as a result, at her immediate disposal.

    The most telling thing I see in this Sarah Palin episode (besides the $1700 middle finger she gave Levi and his supporters) is the fact that:

    While she can find time during her busy schedule to grab up 40 pairs of headphones for the benefit of cameras, she can't seem to find the time to make sure that Trig has his hearing aid(s) in. Of course, the thing that is probably uppermost on her mind, where babies are concerned, is that babies may not be as photogenic, and therefore useful, when they are wearing hearing aids.

    And, while it is being sorted out whether or not it is Willow in the most recent videos--remember this picture?

    The one of Willow taken at the book signing on a Sunday afternoon in Alaska? Arms crossed, wearing a look of pure disgust.

    ...mass media...mass control... whose plan of action might that be?

    The night before last, Palin was on Leno--Romney was simultaneously on Letterman. Yesterday, Romney was on Morning Joe. He stated that Palin is qualified for president--then Romney headed for the View. An orchestrated media campaign has been kicked off this week. Romney will probably tow the line...but, on the other hand Palin will pocket and shop lift anything she can along the way--but that is how the puppeteers keep her hooked... shut off the free ride and she won't play...and as a result the sow's ear will simply ride off into the proverbial Hollywood sunset and back to Wasilla to wallow in the mud at the Palin compound for the rest of her days...

    It's funny how Palin and her entourage is being compared to the Jersey Shores cast, who did the same kind of thing at the Golden Globes.
    At the time, the consensus for that type of behavior was "trailer trash".
    Now a reality show staring the Palin family. That worked out so well for the Gosslin's didn't it. Now they are divorced. He's completely broke and she's trying anything and everything to make a buck and still stay in the media.

    Whatever it is she is trying to sell in Hollywood, she is working hard at it. She and Mark Burnett met with ABC. She and Mike Darnell (reality) met with Fox. She stopped by CBS and plans to meet with NBC Universal TV Chairman Jeff Gaspin. One executive is quoted as saying "she's pitching a dquel to Commander in Chief".
    Not to leave out some fun while doing all this selling, but after the grab fest at the Charity Oscar Room, they stopped by American Idol, where Palin stayed in the Green Room.
    There is no presidential run in her future. Her plans have her using politics as the platform to move into the entertainment industry in a more expanded roll for her and her family.
    This is fairly clear from the list of who's who in entertainment that she is meeting with.
