Take The High Road
It’ll drive the low road crazy.
There’s Palin tome due out. Here’s hoping she doesn’t turn it into a big whinefest about how she was attacked by the press and purported supporters of women’s rights. We all know that already. How about something a little more stirring and insightful about how a beauty queen and mom became mayor, governor and a presidential running mate? via Yahoo:
“There’s been so much written about and spoken about in the mainstream media and in the anonymous blogosphere world, that this will be a wonderful, refreshing chance for me to get to tell my story, that a lot of people have asked about, unfiltered,” the Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate said …
Here’s my suggestion. Don’t even mention the lickspittles, hacks and hypocrites who jumped onboard the smear campaign. Ignore it. They’ll go out of their minds, and devote entire talk shows and articles to wondering why you didn’t talk about them. It’ll be great for sales.
Oddly, at last check Andrew Sullivan, one-man anti-Palin crusading holdout, had not yet stroked his Palin obsession on this. He’s slacking. Or more likely unavailable as he exercises his craft, works up a rant.
More literary criticism of lefty critiquism from Hot Air:
The inevitable lefty take will be snarky feigned surprise that she’s capable of even reading a book, let alone writing one, the first bare whiff of which you can smell at the tail end of the AP’s report:
Burnham said Palin did not submit any writing samples when she met with HarperCollins executives in Washington, earlier this year. She will work with a collaborator, to be determined.
Meanwhile, the blog that evokes the smell of wet, scorched dog weighs in with clever Palin yuks. Let’s see, there’s redneck bashing, sexism and a tard joke. Hey, what happened to lefty sensitivity?
“Y’know it was the best of times and the awesome-ist of times on a dark and stormy night and you can call me Ishmael.”
…
You know the book will be a “special” book written for “special people” receiving a “special education”.
“Being a voracious reader, I read a lot today and have read a lot growing up. And having that journalism degree, all of that, will be a great assistance for me in writing this book, talking about the challenges and the joys, balancing the work and parenting, and, in my case, work means running the state. I’ve read a variety of books, and that helps shape my opinions and my views.”
Will she be wearing Coulter’s black cocktail dress on the book-jacket?
Surber weighs in with some great title suggestions:
“Dreams From My Father: Ammo From Mom.”
“The Audacity Of Lipstick.”
“You Can See The Future From My Back Yard.”
“2012.”
“Real Women Don’t Eat Quiche.”
“Men Are From Mars; I’m From Alaska.”

“the blog with evokes the smell of wet, scorched dog”
Glad to see that worked for you. Word “with” should be “which”. Feel free to edit & delete this comment.

The first screech out of the lefty voicebox will be that Sarah Palin used a ghost writer, as if no one else (ahem, Obama/Ayers?) ever did.
