this is predictable and meaningless. I wonder if she can write any better than she speaks.

And why the heck did she pick that for a title? The only time I ever heard "going rogue" used in relation to her was by Tina Fey on SNL.

Not only have I read only parts that have been sent me by progs but I won't be buying either of them. One of our people here came at me with that read the books time after time. If I had heard anything about his college days being in one of them I would have read it. I really do want to know what name he enrolled at all three of them under. Do you know?

She received $7 Million up front for her memoir - I think the book is guaranteed to sell well. Already #1 at B&N and #2 at Amazon - 6 freaking weeks out.

That is incredible.

I think you are falsely making a connection between people's political leanings and people's entertainment preferences.

Fox News isn't #1 in terms of newscasts, they are #1 in terms of news commentators. Commentary that is part of the entertainment segment of its broadcasts. Since those commentators embrace hyperbole and shock-jock tactics, it's reasonable that they would find an audience that embraces them for their entertainment value. There's a difference between boxing and WWF wrestling. It would be wrong to say that the WWF wrestlers are better athletes than boxers simply based on television ratings. And it's wrong to say that Fox News better reflects American political views than other news outlets simply based on better ratings.

Fey used Palin to make a small comeback so why is it unfair for Palin to use her? Just wondering.

Exactly! You know, usually the NYT reviews books on their bestsellers list, but I don't think they have reviewed any of the above.

I will make them absolutely sick to have it at number 1.

Another example of liberal open-mindedness. Just perfect.

I didn't say it wasn't fair. I just wonder why she would use that term when it was used to make fun of her.

Keep telling them about that but until the book sells its 5 millionth copy they won't be listening. They really think she is as stupid as the MSM tried to make her look. You know after they "vetted" her so seriously and didn't vet Oba mao at all. That made progressives very happy to see done that way.

Why dont you think he wrote them? He wrote this for his students:

Sounds just like him, as do his books.
