Palins in the Kitchen: Readin' is Fundamental

Sarah: Todd!
Todd: Not so loud hun, I'm right over here in the Barcalounger ... I love not having to go to work anymore!
Sarah: Hey! They sent me a copy of the book! Look!
Todd: Oh hey there! How 'bout that?
Sarah: Looks like they made a change to the cover
Todd: Yea, different hair
Sarah: Different background ... they took out the blue sky and added a mavericky thundersky .... ohhhhhh, that looks like business!
Todd: Let me see it a little closer ... hmmmm ... uhhhh ... hun?
Sarah: Wow, they did it without even asking ... oh, those silly publishers, they just make my life so much easier
Todd: hun?
Sarah: Yep, life sure is good! Givin' talks to rich investors, gettin' to use my passport! I'm lovin' life!
Todd: hun?
Sarah: Oh Todd, can't you just smell it? Change we can believe in, finally!
Todd: HUN!!!
Sarah: I think we need to think about moving somewhere else ...
Todd: Dangit babe! Look!
Sarah: What? I've already seen it!
Todd: Dont' you read? The title isn't the same ...
Sarah: What?
Todd: It's not Going Rogue, it's Going Rouge!
Sarah: Rouge? Like the stuff that got smeared on my cheeks during the campaign with that old guy?
Todd: Well, I guess so
Sarah: Must be a misprint ...
Todd: The title is Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, the American Nightmare ... HUN!!!! Don't you read anything? Seriously, babe! You were the governor of this great state and you can't even tell the difference between the real book that your ghost writer worked so hard on and the real thing? And look, it's by the publishers of The Nation! The Nation Sarah! Even I know what kind of a liberal rag that is!
Sarah: .......
Todd: you've got nothing to say?
Sarah: Does that mean we can't move?
