Ok, so Palin misinterprets Copuric's question about what she reads, gives a belligeran­t/defensiv­e answer. Couric clarifies what she means and Palin takes offense. Wow. Attacking Couric sounds like a great idea. Palin is nothing, if not petty, as her book will show.

And pray tell, why would she say she has not bitterness towards McCain? He selected HER, not the other way around (for which we have not forgiven him, BTW) and she got to campaign and buy clothese and rally the skinheads so what has she got to be bitter about? Oh, yes, there was that little matter of $150K+ of clothing that she bought for her entire family on display and accusations from conservative journalists that she was sinking the GOP ticket. Bitter? Yes, bitter that the ticket lost and she had to return to AK. Remember that old tune, "How are you going to keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paree?"

Palin runs the considerable risk of coming across as shallow, narcissistic and petty because she surely won't come across as smart, focused, strategic and/or ethical. Be careful what you wish for, Sarah. If you had good advisors, you wouldn't be writing this "memoir."

I don't understand how was the Couric interview unfair? The Gibson one? How did it not go any other way than it played out? Is she living in some kind of other universe where 2 things happened and they chose the bad one?

Please world do us all a favor and no one go buy this book! Her approval ratings in Alaska are at an all time low.....sh­e is so yesterday's newspaper.­...why can't she be recycled or thrown away to that huge landfill in Wasilla?

Michael Moore should do a film that will come out next Spring to expose this Palin fraud even more!

[mypicasso]

I don't buy it (forgive the pun). Why has this been cleared by the attorney general's office. This is an obvious conflict of interest.

Using your faith, religion or any religious means is about as low as one could go. She should write about her own merits, but she apparently has none.

What these right wing hypocrites don't understand is that there's a huge difference between following a bad religion and being spiritual.

David Plouffe and Ted Kennedy are brilliant and have so much to say. I find mentioning Palin, Plouffe and Kennedy in the same article is obsurd (Rove is Vile).

The only thing Palin can do is whine, complain, write badly and misspell every word. She is incredibly immature and stupid. This doesn't add up and she is certainly not someone you want to compare with these great men.

Palin is working with a collaborator, which means she's not going to write the book on her own. This is disgusting. Why is she getting 11million to have someone else write the book for her? This is contemptable. Why is woman being rewarded for all the horrible things she's done?

I can only surmise that this is a joke. And the laugh will all be on her!

[freethemarkets212]

That's what Clinton did

[sippewissett]

There's a BIG difference between an "editor" for a writer who can form whole sentences and string together cogent, related thoughts and a "collaborator" who will ghost-write the book for a borderline illiterate who can't get from one end of a sentence to the other in a straight line.

Sarah Palin is more likea 4 yrar old in preschool than the adult governor she's suppose to be. She is always blaming others for her problems. No wonder her daughter became pregrnant. She can't even talk to her own daughter about sex or anything else for that matter.

Sarah Palin, you're a pathetic loser. Just wait for your book to come out. The press is going to have a field day and you're going to look like a shmuk!

Her ridiculous vendetta against Couric is like holding onto a condom during sex without using it, than suing the company for getting pregnant, even though you decided not to use it.

JTP should write the forward...

Persecutory — People with this type of delusional disorder believe that they (or someone close to them) are being mistreated, or that someone is spying on them or planning to harm them. It is not uncommon for people with this type of delusional disorder to make repeated complains to legal authorities.

( Palin made 30 complaints about trooper Wooten, 10 were investigated and 3 brought reprimands­.Palins conduct in her overzealous persecution of Wooten, led to an ethics complaint. Palin was found guilty of "abuse of power by the Alaska state legislature)

Mixed — People with this type of delusional disorder have two or more of the types of delusions .

Interesting, these two delusions describe Palin to a tee, I pulled put the “pertinent to Palin stuff”……….­. Excerpts and link;

Delusional Disorder

(Also Called ‘Paranoid Disorder’, ‘Psychosis’)

Delusional disorder most often occurs in middle to late life and is slightly more common in women than in men.

Unfortunately, many people with this disorder do not seek help. It often is difficult for people with a mental disorder to recognize that they are not well. Without treatment, delusional disorder can be a lifelong illness.

Acting on the delusions also can lead to violence or legal problems..­.(Palin certainly has those, hence her legal defense funds)

The types of delusional disorder include:

Grandiose — A person with this type of delusional disorder has an over-inflated sense of worth, power, knowledge, or identity. The person might believe he or she has a great talent or has made an important discovery.

(after the Katie Couric interview, Grandiose, goes without saying)

It took this woman SIX years to get a journalism degree from Podunk State. The only reason she's the Governor of Alaska is because Alaska has the highest dropout rate in the nation. When you have an ignorant,uneducated electorate,Sarah Palin is what you get. Unless you listen to Limbaugh or Hannity,there's going to be nothing in her memoirs to appeal to you. It's much ado about nothing. if the Republicans think they got whumped in '08,let 'em run her in 2012. I can't wait.

Katie must have really hit a nerve.

Before she writes, she ought to read or listen to Obama's ASU speech.
