Yes, the hostility and venom directed at her is unreal. One doesn't have to be pro-Palin to realize that being anti-anti-Palin is completely righteous and just.

"..way out of her depth"? What does that mean? Please explain (if you can).

A political book, or a political speech, by her would contain too much gibberish for anyone to be interested.
Really? Have you listened to Nancy Pelosi recently? Barbara Boxer? That's just for starters.

Well, there are certainly no better books by any liberals. Why is it that conservatives always outsell the liberals?

Because the hate books are all the reactionaries generally read.
Libs are busy with real literature.

I have to wonder how SP will handle a book tour and questions from the media regarding the content of the book. Without a book tour, it won't do as well as expected but I can't see her cozying up to the press nor them praising her book after her comments regarding their treatment of her. Most of which I feel was fairly well deserved, although her minor children should be off limits. It's hard for me to understand the fascination anyone has with her or regard her as a possible future political candidate. How could anyone expect her to hold a future office after she's quit one state appointed position and one elected position both without what appears to be valid reason? She's just Sarah Palin, private citizen, nothing more.

Sarah Palin is the minority, the liberals are the reactionaries. Look at how they react towards her. They fear she will somehow upset the status quo or wake the people up to Roman Polanski-ism which is the current sick state of the West (wasn't like that always). Yeah, real literature, make me laugh....

Yes, no sense in actual reading what the terms mean, rightists are like Queen in Alice in Wonderland, "it means what I say it means".

A lot of sickness the west for sure including Polanski, but rightest reactionaries are the sickest,

Because liberals have more reading options, and that prevents any one book from getting such high numbers. Conservatives have to read things they agree with, and more importantly, understand. The guy buying Palin's or Malkin's book probably isn't buying Proust as well.

So true. I just had a thought. I wonder if the librarian in Wasilla will have Palin's book banned?
