Going Rogue

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

While I'm on the subject of full page ads in the Arizona Daily Star there is one today from NewsMax.com (a right-wing biased "news" mag that makes Faux News look like a legitimate news organization) promoting Sarah Palin's soon to be released book, "Going Rogue: an American Life," for the low, low price of $4.97 — but wait, there's more! For this low, low price you also get the NewsMax report "Sarah Palin and the New Feminism" — but wait, there's more! You also get a four month trial subscription to NewsMax magazine.

(Amazon.com lists the book at $20.99 – whoops! – it's already been marked down to the discount clearance bin price of $9.00 before the book is even officially released on November 17.)

If you actually read all of the above you may be officially pronounced brain dead.

This is how right-wing organizations drive pulp fiction from their conservative stars (the book is ghostwritten by Lynn Vincent Meet Sarah Palin's Ghostwriter – The Daily Beast and published by Rupert Murdoch-owned Harper Collins) to the top of the best seller list – a dubious honor that is not that hard to achieve when you count institutional buyers rather than individual purchasers. Newsmax Confirms It is Rigging Palin’s Book Sales It's a little secret the publishing industry doesn't want you to know.

Sarah Palin promises to "name names" on the McCain-Palin campaign of who done her wrong and why she is so much smarter than all of them. This could prove troublesome to John McCain. People should be upset and question his judgment and character in selecting this most unqualified individual to be "a heartbeat away from the presidency" had this old geezer been elected, simply because MacDaddy was willing to gamble on a roll of the dice to jumpstart his flagging campaign.

Palin will no doubt demonize the very media that is the life-giving sustenance of her very existence and the only reason why this loon's 15 minutes of fame are not mercifully over. The media villagers and Beltway bloviators are responsible for continuing to breath life into this Frankenstein media monster.

The Neocon Washington Post published a "teaser" review from a "leaked" copy of the book today With early leak, Sarah Palin's 'Going Rogue' is off and running ("leak" stories are always part of the promotional roll out – we know where the Washington Post resides within the firmament of the right-wing echo chamber):

In the book, "Going Rogue: An American Life," Palin contends that the McCain campaign stuck her with a $50,000 bill for the cost of her own vetting, botched the announcement of her teenage daughter's pregnancy, outfitted Palin with all those infamous costly ensembles, and shielded her from reporters. Even so, Palin goes on to belittle two famous interlocutors, Katie Couric and Charles Gibson, according to the Associated Press, which found and purchased a copy of the book before its sale date.

Yaddy-yaddy-yadda, buy the book. No thanks.

Sarah Palin will have competition from two books that parody the title of her memoir. Sarah Palin: Going 'Rogue' or 'Rouge'?

Editors of The Nation are publishing a book on the same day titled Going Rouge: An American Nightmare, featuring a collection of Palin-bashing essays by contributors to the progressive magazine.

Julie Sigwart and political satirist Micheal Stinson are self-publishing Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book, which includes coloring pages with lipsticks and pigs, dress-up games featuring the Neiman Marcus RNC wardrobe, and other satirical fun.

I hear that Tina Fey has been booked to reprise her Sarah Palin role on SNL (from which the title of Sarah Palin's book is derived). Whom is parodying whom?
