Palin Book Deal Said To Be Worth $7 Million

She failed to save John McCain from presidential election doom, but Sarah Palin, the Republican senator's controversial running mate, may yet emerge as the saviour of the American publishing industry. Literary agents are queueing up to sign her to a book deal that could earn her up to $7m.

With Barack Obama's election victory certain to generate dozens of volumes from politicians, strategists and journalists - and with another shelfload of memoirs expected from members of President George W Bush's administration - Palin's personal account of her tumultuous introduction to national politics is widely regarded as the book most likely to repay a multi-million-dollar advance.

"She's poised to make a ton of money," said Howard Rubenstein, New York's best-known public relations adviser.

That's a lot of money for pulp fiction.

She'll need a ghostwriter, because she's grammatically challenged (just being PC). A JOURNALISM degree? Why haven't we seen anything she's written?

Why should Sarah stop with books, there are many facets of media that she could conquer:

'why? Why? Why? I would never read a book about her...she is nothing special. She has proven herself to be a half-wit, who should have never been running for VP. I think the Republicans now she what a disaster she is. She has not future political career. In a few more weeks...we will be going "Sarah Who?"

Coming soon to a Dollar Store near you!

I wonder if they will have a layaway policy.

It will be the most expensive coloring book, on the shelves.

She is so inarticulate and ignorant and a true narcissist... this is predictable but geez, what an awful person....

I feel bad for that editor. I can only imagine her grammar. She'll mostly dictate the book.
It will start off talking about religion, hunting, religion, hunting, religion, hunting, Tod/Todd, religion, college, another college, another college, another college, how God helped her in college, kids, kids, kids, kids, kids, hockey, religion, hunting, mayor, governor, VP, Bill Ayers, gotcha journalism, and about how God, not our knowledge, open doors for us.

Palin's story, in large print, would occupy about 7 pages. If some publishing outfit has $7 million
to throw around for that dead ender, can we be assured that they will also have a minimum of $7 million to contribute towards school lunch and after school programs for the areas struggling hardest to give their
children a hand up?

That's a lot to pay for a picture book! Now maybe she can buy her own designer clothes and maybe since she will be so rich, she make make the ethical choice to stop charging Alaskans per diem for her choice to live in her own home instead of the Governor's mansion.

Don't you have to read a book before you can write one?

[oiba]

it will be titled, "Dictated, not read."
