What does the left have to say about things like those people having #1 best sellers and Fox News being #1 in ratings? I think it tells a big part of the story. There are more conservatives than liberals in America.

A little about Palin's co-author:

Quote:
For all the attention paid to Palin's faith during the campaign, we don't remember her volunteering much on the subject. But as a co-author, she has chosen an editor with World Magazine, a Christian publication that offers a conservative take on issues and events.

Lynn Vincent has written about prayer in schools, gay marriage and, mostly, abortion for World. She is also co-author of the book “Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime and Corruption in the Democratic Party,” which the ad copy on Amazon.com promises will reveal:

That's how she makes a living and why we have to know about her, but politics on what level? Im sure there'll be plenty of whining and complaining, in a politics-y setting, but nothing more insightful or visionary than a book by your town's county commissioner.

Just in case Palin's book sells 5 million as Rush and I hope I bet that Shaer wishes that the author could have been a different ghost writer.

I don't think that Oba mao wrote either of his books. We are pretty sure that had he had a writer for one of them and the man is supposed to be one that Oba mao claims he didn't know well.

A better title would have been; "Going Rouge."

Oh, for God's sake. Of course he wrote his own books. (This happened in the real world, though, roysold.)

(Have you read either of them? )

I remember all that stuff about "Bill Ayers REALLY wrote Obama's books!" etc. The guy who went page by page through books by both, pretending to find similarities in writing style...etc.

Whoops! The FACTS just don't jive with the author, a clear Palin-hater.

Why We Doubt ‘Page Six’’s Sarah Palin Story -- Daily Intel

The Post hears from an anonymous source that Sarah Palin is having more trouble than expected securing gigs on the lecture circuit.

Quote:
1. The source is openly hostile to Palin, belittling her in almost every quote, so his/her intentions seem fairly suspect. Calling Palin a "blithering idiot" and saying the only people who'd want to hear her speak are "interested in moose hunting" doesn't really add credibility to your claims.
Quote:
2. Politico reported about a month ago that Palin had received over 1,070 speaking invitations, which is a lot.
Sarah Palin gets 1,070+ invitations - Mike Allen - POLITICO.com

Quote:
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin this week will begin accepting and rejecting the more than 1,070 invitations she has received for paid speeches and political appearances since she resigned from office, aides said.

More than 950 requests for speeches have poured in for Palin, and over 120 candidates for office have asked her to appear, including folks running for Senate, House and state Legislature, aides said.
This FACT just doesn't seem to jive with the Palin-hater in the article. An "insider", an "anonymous source" - what a bunch of hogwash.

Oh dear, the Left IS unhinged and it will only get worse.

Another "manufactured" story by the Left that is blowing up in their faces.

I guess you didn't know that they moved the date of presentation up about 6 weeks from where they planned it to be.

How many libs or progs, whichever you prefer, do you think will buy the book hoping it does have lots of black and white pictures for them to color? Surely there will be a number of them buying for just that reason.
