So we've got that...
QuoteFormer Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has finished writing her memoir, which she has titled "Going Rogue: An American Life."
The release date for the 400 page book has been moved up to November 17th, the Associated Press reports, after initially having been scheduled for a spring release

So there you go. Think it'll be required reading anywhere?
Probably required reading in Wasilla and Sally Kern's office. I guess I'm not too compelled to buy and read a memoir when a person's life has been pretty well played out in the media.
Say, wasn't her 15 minutes up hours and hours ago?

It should've been.
We may be done with Sarah Palin, but Sarah Palin's not done with us.
I don't like how you guys are talking about the best thing about the GOP.

Agreed. Like the GOP will back a Morman...yeah, right after they back Heeberman.
Maybe William Shatner will do more dramatic readings from her book. We can hope.

My geekiness would compel me to listen to some of her gibberish if spoken in Shatnerese.
Sarah Palin's ghost writer pals around with White Supermacists and Neo-Nazi's..
Sarah Palin's soon-to-be-released book was ghostwritten by Lynn Vincent.
Who's Lynn Vincent? She's the co-author of a book with white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain.
Vincent is also a credited author on "Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party," a take-down of the Democrats co-written by conservative author Robert Stacy McCain.
Robert Stacy McCain's has connections to neo-Nazis and white supremacist organizations
Robert Stacy McCain's feelings on the subject of interracial marriage.
"the media now force interracial images into the public mind and a number of perfectly rational people react to these images with an altogether natural revulsion. The white person who does not mind transacting business with a black bank clerk may yet be averse to accepting the clerk as his sister-in-law, and THIS IS NOT RACISM, no matter what Madison Avenue, Hollywood and Washington tell us."
This just tells us we're lucky that moron McCain lost...McCain will go down in history of making this witch a major player for nothing.

There is no relationship between Robert Stacy McCain and John McCain.
Ya know, I keep reading this book title as "Going Rouge." Maybe I'm dylsexic or something.

Obviously.

Guess not Conan, her book is a best seller and the cover had not even been determined:

Furthermore:
A publishing industry source told POLITICO that they "cannot remember a non-fiction book taking off like this in the pre-order market. It became number one only a couple of hours after nothing more than a date announcement. It is truly unprecedented."

Knocking off the dead swimmer is great news.

To be fair Guido, we don't really know yet if it is non-fiction. ;) Some of there memoirs that are ghost written take some serious liberties.

I understand that she finally admits both her grandchildren are David Letterman's.
One of my friends says his memoir will be called "When God Says: 'Hold My Beer'"
I think I'll call my memoir "Going Commando"
I thought maybe the title of Palin's book would be "Too Legit to Quit."
Oh, wait ...
Kinda funny, actually. I'm conjuring up notions of her sitting in her office writing her first draft either using a Big Chief tablet with those huge pencils, or a box of crayons. I can't decide which.
;D
I'm guessing half the pre-orders were jokes and the other half are conservative groups ordering en masse to force on others like their pamphlets.
I heard she was upset because they misspelled "rouge"; It was supposed to be titled Rouge on a Pig.
Bill Maher had a good take on her book, wondering what it would have been titled if a different ghost writer had done it.
