Oh sure, I could say something snarky about Sarah Palin’s 400 PAGE memoir: Also.Too. that she turned in before it was due, but I learned long ago that you should never underestimate anyone who managed to attend, like, nine colleges in five years:
Sarah Palin (PAY’-lin) has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced.
(By the way, thank you AP for the (PAY’-lin), . We’ve been pronouncing it (PAY’-me.)
And, no. We already knew that she using a not-so-ghostwriter in Lynn Vincent who co-wrote Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party with neo-Confederate Robert Stacy Emmett Till Had It Coming McCain. So we really have nothing to add that could possibly compete with the bestest cover blurb ever from DryBones at Conservatives4Palin:
This is excellent news….and I love the title.
Can’t wait to read it.
Is it just me….or does she always exceed expectations?
Sarah 2012
I’m going to go out on a limb and say: It’s you.

If I “wrote” an autobiography, I’d sure want the title to be something Tina Fey said to make fun of me in an SNL skit with my real-life running mate. So Sarah 2012’s book should be a blockbuster. You betcha.
There’s someone in that thread making fun of the people using the name Jane Austen and none of them are getting it.
Best anagram for “Going Rogue:” OUR GIG GONE

I have yet to find out the most important information about this awesome new book: does it come with crayons, or do I have to buy my own?
Emmett Till had it coming? that fact if we can get it out to African American voters should increase our voter turnout:)
I believe at least a few Alaskans had the expectation that their governor would serve out her term.
Beginning to think I nailed the wrong one.

Well, shit, if she can’t talk about how hubby suddenly went all cold on her, or how she got pwned by Tina Fey, how Trigg already outsmarts her, or about how she methodically screwed the tax payers of Alaska by hiring unqualified cronies for key positions, or about her batshit crazy church complete with exorcisms, then what’s really left for her to write about? Wolf stew recipies? Her secret crush on Putin? Her secret desire for a decent education? Or a life?
Those 400 pages must either be set with easy-reader large type, or consist mostly of house ads for other titles in the “shit we couldn’t pay you to read while your plane is stuck on the runway” series from Regnery Publishing.
The AP appears to know their audience well. As we used to say back home, “Those folks may be dumb but they sure are slow”
It’s much easier to write a “400-page book” if, like every other book about $P, the chapters are short, each chapter begins 7/8ths down the page, the margins are wide, and the font is REALLY BIG.
Disappointing, though, that $P’s not calling her oeuvre “What to Expect When I’m Expecting.” You’d see something like this: http://theimmoralminority.blog…..olved.html
Yes, “Jane” punked them good. The commenters seem most impressed with the length: 400 pages!!! They also can’t seem to figure out why the book is coming out just before the christmas shopping season.
Regarding her forthcoming tome, the actual former Republican candidate for Vice President and almost half-term Governor of Alaska added,
Palin for Nobel Prize!
She’s exceeded my expectations–just not in a good way.
I’m trying to figure out if someone is goofing on the comments section at Conservatives4PAY-lin; some of then are pretty outrageous. Example:
Meh. Probably not.
You have to admit that what Palin’s followers lack in intelligence they make up with ignorance.
I was particularly touched by all of those who insisted that Palin hadn’t used a ghost writer.
Guyz, ur sOOO wrong. Mrs (former) Governor Sarah P is TOTALLY like Elizabeth Bennet and Elinor Dashwood!!!
Meanwhile, the NYT and WAPO somehow missed Segolene Royal speaking at the UN last week:
http://www.facebook.com/note.p…..038;ref=mf
Along with the police violence at the G20 in Pittsburgh.
Totally! And we’ll get dressed up like the main characters from the book (dibs on dressing up like Levi!) and then we’ll wait in line outside the book store until midnight, when they’ll have, like, a huge bash with authentic moose burgers and crystal meth and evangelical handouts and whatnot… it’ll be teh awesome!
“After Palin left office on July 26, she went with her husband, Todd, and her kids to San Diego, the home of her collaborator, Lynn Vincent, and worked on the book for several weeks.”
Got that, cynics? SEVERAL WEEKS. That means at least three. With seven days in a week, that equals 21 days. SHE WROTE (okay, “worked on”) TWENTY PAGES A DAY.
ALTERNATE JOKE: Yeah, but she quit working on it just after the manuscript reached her 28th birthday…
Oh never mind. It’s not even worth the snark.
I’m there Thing. And then when we get halfway through, WE’LL ALL QUIT!
I got dibs on baby Trig.
“Going Rogue”
Heh.
Is that anything like “going commando?” NYT bestseller list, watch out , baby!!!!
T: Drybones’ answer smacked of so much brain drool I had to check–and it’s NOT just him; there’s a whole closet full of “pod people” over there.
That’s because most of the people in Wingnuttia are unfamiliar with the concept. How do you think they’d deal with the fact that even GOD had a ghost writer?
“I was born in an igloo my father built,”
With sincerest apologies to the late Marilyn Monroe:
Going rogue, lost control.
Going rogue, mighty bold.
Feeling reckless, mavricky too,
Empty mind all the time, never blue.
Always going, don’t know where,
Always quitting. I don’t care!
Don’t love nobody, lovin’s bogue.
All alone, going rogue!
Ooooh, Cindy McCain. I can do icy disdain to perfection–though, I am not a blond. Or a zillionaire. Or willing to have sex with Grumpy McCain.
Ew. I need a shower now.
Oooh, I wanna be Cessna, the littlest daughter with the Louis Vuitton lunch bucket. And my mom’s high heels. But will I have to carry kama (@21) around all the time? Because that would be a drag and I’d just as soon get pregnant myself.
Charles Dickens hates you.
during the election, finding parallels between
tinasarah and bush was almosta drinking game …
won office using wedge issues, fired everyone who
knew what they were doing, and proceeded to act like god
above the law: bush or palin?
failed relentlessly upward while leaving a trail of
fiscal wreckage behind: W or the Thrilla in Wasilla?
she’s bush in heels, i tells ya. another clueless
sociopath. but she does a mean tina fey impression.
In the spirit of wingnut literary detectivetude (e.g, William Ayers wrote Obama’s books), let me try my hand at deciphering the true meaning behind the title of Palin’s book.
1. “Going Rogue” can be read with a minimal amount of dyslexia as “Going Rouge.”
2. Rouge is the French word for red.
3. “Red” is a common term (circa 1950) for a communist.
4. Obviously, Palin is a French communist (neologism: Commutard?)
Ah, I get it:
Going Rouge is word play on that pitbull/lipstick thing!
Going Galt was taken, huh?
$P once started some corporation called “Rouge Cou,” which she thought sounded classier than “redneck.” Grammatically incorrect, as in French the adjective follows the noun, but–aha! We’ve caught her pallin’ around with Commie imagery!
Great Expectations? You bet. Combine that with acts of public speaking (orations), and voila: Great Expectorations. Ask for it by name!
I’m pretty sure that the book title was arrived at after several weeks were spent explaining to Caribou Barbie that “Whatevah, I Do What I Want” was not a terribly good idea.
The word “memoir” doesn’t apply to young shallow dimwits who feel compelled to write their ‘life story’.
This applies doubly to people who attend Witch Doctor Churches.
“I’m going to go out on a limb and say: It’s you.”
You should be ashamed at this baseless parting shot. Many people, for instance, expected her go back to Alaska and serve out the rest of her term before she would be able to truly shine as a private citizen. She trumped those expectations by months and months!
Palin must be a great hunter though: an Alaskan friend told me that she can smell a buck a mile away.
But she’s a dark-haired bimbo who wants everything now and tramples everyone and everything in her path. Who needs McCain for that? (McKristol, et. al.?)
Ew. Need a shower now.
Isn’t “ghost” an important part of the idea of a “ghost writer”? Or does Pay-Lin need to attend another college to sort that out?
hard to top this:
Au contraire! “Charles Dickens would have LOVED the Intertubes!” And all of the characters thereon….
Sometimes when it’s late at night, and I’m tired of writing motions on arcane points of law that would gag a maggot, I try to imagine how Dickens would treat our American system of justice; a system that despite its relentless inefficiency in most other respects, managed to dispense with those black barrister’s robes with the discreet pockets sewn on the back to receive fees, for the utter and gauche simplicity of an attorney extending his palm prior to the representation. Thank god the truly vulnerable can’t afford us! Scabies can be quite contagious, and are particularly irritating when they take up residence in the skin beneath the band of one’s Rolex.
I’d like to see a Dickens penny-dreadful tentatively entitled: “What’s the Matter with Kansas.” Also.
This reminds me, and not in a good way, of how terribly impressed Certain People were by the number of footnotes in one of Ann Coulter’s books. Of course, some American heroes checked them out and found that the notes didn’t actually relate to the text. But still! Look at all those FOOTNOTES!
Sort of like the DFW-wannabe of wingnut whinging.
