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.

There's already a great book out called:

"The Complete Book of the Collected WISDOM of Sarah Palin."
It's completely blank.

Just saw it on YouTube:

Wait, doesn't W have a similar book out? He should sue her for "plagerarianism" (he'd probably call it somehting like that).

[LKV]

Will this woman ever go AWAY!!!??? Is there not a moose that needs to be hunted or a polar bear that needs to be caught anything at all to get rid of her???!!!!!

[Bobleblah1]

Bad Vice President but boy is she good looking.

[hortonhearsawho]

Dude put down the bong and call someone, anyone....

[NoSillyName]

What a waste of money.

[republifornian]

[LKV]

LOL....LOL....LOL....LOL....LOL!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps like OJ "If I'd Won It"

[Roberto2201]

$6.9 million of it will be for editing to make her ideas seem comprehensible.

[eastsidetrader]

God help the editor

[Teeninchee]

Uh uh, she'll have a ghost writer. She doesn't have the ability to write. She writes the way she speaks. If they ever investigate all of her dealings in Alaska, with the house and troo perg ate, she may need the dough.

[jeffp26]

If they pay Palin $7 million to write the book, they'll have to pay a team of editors $25 million to turn it into english.

She proves this is a great country, where mere luck, and absolutely nothing else, can make you rich.

[florestanchi]

Are the crayons to be sold separately?

[oiba]

AHAHA!

[Vyvjala]

The media is saturated with Palin, her lifestyle, childhood, beliefs, family and friends why would anybody need to buy a damn book about her.......................

[gd7277467]

Goodee !

Another sequel to "My Pet Goat" !

[mergina]

I cant wait to get it on amazon, USED, for like $.87 teehee

[Teeninchee]

What could be worth a book? The F ibs I told, the $$ I st ole. Someone else will need to write one in order to put out the truth after she publishes hers.

[movecenter]

I can barely stand a 2-minute news clip of her. Reading a book about her is definitely NOT happening!

[KoolBreez]

Posted elsewhere but perhaps worth repeating:

Reporter: Governer Palin, now that the election is over, what are you going to do?

Palin: I will finally finish my first book.

Reporter: We didn't realize you had already begun writing the book.

Palin: I haven't; I am reading one.

[shengirl]

What on earth in that woman's life is worth $7 million of interest? They'll lose money on this one.

[MJinCanada]

That's what I was thinking: instant remainders bin.
