Sarah Palin

Christian Science Monitor:

By now, you've probably heard the news. Sarah Palin -- prolific Facebook user, Twitter poet, and former Alaskan governor -- is writing a book. The title is "Going Rogue: An American Life," and if early buzz is any indication, sales of the 400-page tome, which hits shelves in November, will be through the roof.

I suggest William Ayers as SP's ghostwriter. The trolls here assure me that he has prior ghostwriting experience.

Are you really going rogue when your political positions are written for you by Randy Scheunemann and your book by that title is written by Lynn Vincent?
Sarah Palin is little more than a paid spokesmodel for a discredited brand of Neo-conservative thought, the same philosophy which led to our present economic recession, an unnecessary war in Iraq and the abandonment of the city of New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.

A poster on another blog wrote to Amazon to find out how the tabulate their best sellers. here's the emai they got back:

"Thank you for contacting us at Amazon.com.

I have gone through your email and noted the contents. Please note that the bestsellers on Amazon.com are calculated based on the sales volume for any particular title. In regard to bulk orders, I would wish to clarify that bulk orders do get considered for calculating sales rank of any item. As the sales rank depends on the sales of item and not depend on number of orders, all the sales of the item including the sales in bulk orders will be used for calculation purposes. In order to address your last question "Do you specify at all that bulk orders were part of the total sales in the book details", I would like to clarify that we do not specify anywhere that bulk orders are part of total sales. The sales information for any title is not made available to the customers or other selling parties as we consider this information confidential for suppliers."

____________

Soooo, yeah...the Palincutlistas (all 12 of them) ordered this title en masse...in bulk....etc.

Remember how little money her SarahPac raised compared to Newt and Mitt, and how how only 12 people showed up to her Fire Dave Rally? LOL. What a loser.

In America, since when does media attention equate to matters of substance and depth?

Will it be in the fiction or children's section?

Since the last 200 pages are a coloring book and crayons are provided, I'm guessing it'll be in the children's section.

But, Sarah's picture is on the cover. That's what matters.

What the story seems to brush over very quickly was Lynn Vincent's

former collaborative effort ( at least NONE of the details ) with Robert Stacy McCain who she spent a lot of time with on another book. Sort of like Pen Pals. Can we assume that Vincent and McCain felt comfortable together. Same kinds of views and Opinions. And Palin picked Vincent.. who thinks like McCain.

WHO does Palin ' pal around with'..? { good audio clip on this webpage as well }McCain
