CNN

LOL – I hope they dedicate a battalion of editors to fix the larger than average amount of grammatical errors, and spelling errors that are bound to be abundant.

Well, this is one book I know I'll be bypassing ...

Good for You, Sarah! You can now tell your story the way the news media should have been telling it all along – the way it is, the way it was, and the way it will be for you in the future. Our very best wishes from Montana are extended to you and especially in 2012. Our hats are off to you for a job well done in your Vice Presidential run. No one can ever take that away from you. We admire you, we are proud to support you, and we know we can count on you in the future. Thanks. Jessie from Butte, Montana.

I think it is wonderful she is writing an autobiography. I believe she is a breath of fresh air for the GOP. Give her the chance she deserves. Everyone else seems to write books about themselves but suddenly she is critized for making a book deal to write a book. I will be buying this book as soon as it comes from the printers.
Go, Sarah....

It will be one of those big coffee table books – big glossy pictures from her view of Russia in Alaska. Some commentary to go with each photo.

It is easy to see why Dems do not like SP. She is the brightest star to come along in politics in a long time–more experience than BO, too.

Isn't this the kind of thing you usually do after you're out of office?! I really don't think taxpayers should be paying her to write a book!

She won't say how much she is being paid. But I know how much I would pay for a copy! That's my two-cents worth.

Well, might as well let her vent in her book. Yes, let your anger all out in there. If people still don't believe you – it's no longer the media's fault ... it's just that people don't believe you. It's you.

I've decided that these republican posters simply don't know any smart people. They really have NO CONCEPT of the difference between a below average public school product like Palin and a constitutional law professor like our beloved president. Thankfully it will not matter as they will benefit from the wise and thoughtful decisions being made on their behalf. Though I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a thank you so I'll just say....

YOUR WELCOME!

First off..I applaud Sarah Palin for her guts and determination. I am disappointed with how many people call her stupid. She has been a great Governor for her home state, a devoted Mom and wife, and an excellent candidate for the conservative Republicans in this country. I believe she presented herself with class and dignity. The media slammed her every step of the way – they were too focused on babying their little darling. It sure is interesting how the media ignored all of Obama's shortcomings – as in he had no actual experience. He is a gifted speaker, but so is Palin. At least Palin was Governor before her name appeared on the ticket. At least she had some executive experience. I'm thinking the liberal elite – the likes of the anti-American Olberman and Rachel Maddow – are so hard on Governor Palin because they fear her. And they should!! Obama will fail, and real Americans will be thristy for a real American to lead them once more. Palin 2012!

"It will be nice to put my journalism degree to work" This airhead couldn't name one magazine she reads. Why should she start putting her degree to work now?

The very fact that so many people in this forum are responding with such passion shows that this was a good deal for Palin and her publisher to make. Like her or hate her, she has become a political, social, and media icon – people are very interested by her. Many people on this forum, especially those who claim to despise her, are equally fascinated with her; if they weren't, they wouldn't be so passionate about her!

I think the book will do well.

She has every right to write it and I have every right to laugh at the very thought of her doing so.

I do not understand what Palin could say that would be new. Her life is constantly on television, people know her just like they know a neighbor and what the news/media leaves out...the tabloids pick up. I do not think it will be a very thick book or even a thought provoking read. Maybe she will write one of those books I read as a child, where you could chose the path the characters take and make the story come out several different ways based on the choices YOU, the reader, made for the character. That might interest me.

Ok she got a book deal. No biggie because notable people get them all the time. However, she should shut down the drive to get people to contribute to pay her legal costs associated with troopergate. It would be good publicity and the costs are small compared to what she will get out of the deal.

As an American I cannot criticize Sarah Palin's choice to write a book (however misguided I may think it is). All I can say is THANK GOD I don't have to buy/read it. At the beginning I really thought the Republicans had made an interesting choice in their candidate but it only took one speech to realize my mistake. Between the nasally whiny voice, the "cutesy" flirticious winking and her inability to form a coherent sentence I realized the Republicans were going down in flames in this election. Please just go back to Alaska and spend time with your family and doing the job you were elected to do!

What a joke that she calls it "unrestrained and unfiltered." At the very least it will be edited by a person with a clear and competent command of the English language, a claim she can't make. The way she strings phrases together reminds of a high school student trying to BS his way through a speech he was unprepared for.

Palin's book will be a bestseller. This will be the best starting point for her. She has a big future.

Everyone's got a book. and she is not going to 'give away the store'. Don't expect to see any words that will interfere with her aggressive ambitious plans. I won't read it, that's for sure.

Her own words, huh? Just how many times can you use the phase 'you betcha' in a book? I'm sure someone will buy it, if for nothing else then to count how many times she complains about all the people that are out to get her.

Well I read through the comments as best I could and I can't help think that every time Ms. Sarah's name is brought up – the main point about her never is. I do not hate her (as a person) but I do dislike and now distrust the party that almost put her in a position to be a "heartbeat" away from the most powerful position in the world. Talk about the ultimate in cynicism. Try to win an election by running a totally unqualified individual. Why? To stimulate a "base" that didn't know the difference. Now to me, that is sick. Then again that is why that party is in deep trouble today.

While it isn't a book I would be interested in reading, and I doubt she will fare any better than did Elizabeth Edwards in writing her book, the sooner Palin gets it written, the better. She has had enough media attention to last me a lifetime as it is.

It's hard to believe that we'll get anything other than a glossy version of her life from this woman. She is not to be trusted, in my opinion.

@Christopher

Let me pass the virtual tissue to you.

I'll buy it and read it. In fact, can we pre-order already?

Wow, with all the problems her family has experienced,
she has time to write a book?

Maybe, if she spent more time with her family, and less on the book,
they would not have the problems they are experiencing.

Either way. Do we really want to know?

And, has she considered how her actions effect the GOP?

Makes you wonder what the motivation is ?
Truth or Money?

"It will be nice to put my journalism degree to work..."? Well, actually, she already has. Her journalism degree is in communications-journalism.

Translation: Television

You go girl!!!!!

It was not any body that said I can see Russia from my house it was her and only her so let her write about that or more lies she told the American people on last 7 months

Why write a book, we have heard all we need to hear from her. Obviously she needs the money. I don't know a single person that would buy a copy.

*sigh* This isn't shocking. Most people knew this would happen at some point. She's a polarizing figure and the publishers can capitalize on that. Those who love her will buy the book and confirm their admiration of her. Those who don't like her at all won't spend their money on the book. She writes (If you want to call it writing) a book; that doesn't meant you have to buy it if you don't want to. You don't have to go anywhere near it. Mrs. Palin is in it for the glory of....Mrs. Palin. This is all about positioning herself for the 2012 elections. Those republican primaries will be incredibly entertaining with her around...I'll be watching with popcorn and candy.

Instant top seller. We cannot get enough of this bright star.

Palin has spent the last 8 months bashing the "mainstream media," and then signs a multi-million dollar book deal with one of the largest publishing corporations on the planet.

It's just another example of Caribou Barbie's self-serving hypocrisy.

"..to publish her story of an unlikely political career.."

Here are some more words/phrases that come to mind in regards to Ms. Flailin's "political career'":incongruous,beyond the realm of human comprehension, when good things happen to bad people...oh wait that could actually be the title of her book. Send me my check Sarah! lol!

Great it will be a number one. She and we should all be proud of her.

Mrs Palin is her own "reality" show! I won't spend any of my precious time reading any of her skewed reality.

Getting to "speak truth" "through an unflitered forum"??
Guess that depends on her definition of "truth."

pecori May 13th, 2009 12:48 pm ET

She'll write a self-serving biased story and make millions off of people. And HarperCollins calls that captivating and inspiring?

It inspires Harper Collins' bottom line...
And if that keeps just one more person employed, I don't see it as a bad thing.

I really can't wait til Sarah book comes out, I guarentee it will be a best seller.

Are there "so many other books" out there written about Palin ? If so could someone lead me to the right direction so I can read some history about the woman who cost the election for the republican party. I must admit that I would be interested in reading something else about her that isn't about politics, guns shooting animals, her unwed daughter.

Wow, a book WRITTEN by Gov. Palin! I can hardly wait. My 2 cents – Unless the publisher gets a good ghost writer to do the heavy lifting, I suggest Crayola get ready to send a trailer load of crayons to Wasilla.

If one were to hypothetically believe she is actually writing this book due for the shelves in 2010, how is this not neglecting her duties as governor? Is it even legal for the governor to take another job? One doesn't write a book of any substance overnight. The distraction to create this item is a real disservice to the Alaskan public.

"The book will focus on the content"???? What the hell does that mean??? Can't this woman come up with one correctly formatted sentence? I work in a library and this will be one book I will not request.!

Judy

Great...This is news? Now people get to hear the "unfiltered truth" of Sarah Palin. As if she is going to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She's a politician. She'll write a self-serving biased story and make millions off of people. And HarperCollins calls that captivating and inspiring? Will it be titled "Alaska's Real Folly"?

Sarah Palin has made a mockery of everything she has touched–her family, her children, her power as govenor, the American political presidential election process, etc. There isn't too much more to write about worth buying.

Oh, please, Stephen Colbert, book her on your show asap after the "book" is published!!!!!

Wow, I'd hate to be her editor. If she writes as poorly as she speaks, editing her book will be a monumental task.

"my story unrestrained and unfiltered" = codespeak for "un-fact-checked."

Palin has the right to write a book. No one can take that right away from her. Equally, the citizens have the right not to buy the book. No one can take that away from the citizens.

The only people that can lose from this deal is the publisher but that's their business.

If Hillary Clinton can write a book, why can't Palin?

I won't be reading it, but that should not prevent her from being able to put out a book.

I would hate to have the job of editing this manuscript!

Interesting that she is speaking, not only for herself and her family, but for all of Alaska as well!

Maybe that level of presumption contributed to the outcome of the general election.

The sound of the other shoe dropping? Surely this was the end game all along. How to cash in for the big bucks. Sigh...same old game still played.

I already know far more than I ever wanted to about this woman.

Oh look, another republican trying to blame the media for their bad image. And, of course, she's going to 'set things right' by giving a ridiculously biased report of her story. This is nothing more than a Fox news report in book form. If she becomes president, I'm outta here.

It will be interesting to know what she will write. The only thing I think she can write with any authority is how she stood up to the Republican ol' boy brigade and told them to go to hell.

I think she needs to get a degree from an ivy league university or something else if she wants to be taken seriously.

Do not get me wrong, over the year, I have cultivated a healthy respect for Sarah Palin, however, I do not think she will have anything in her memoirs other than Moose Kill and her memorized speeches.

Bottomline,Affirmative Action provides opportunities for minorities who would have been shut out from main stream, particpation in politics and executive corporate governance, BUT Affirmative action is not to let everyone through the door. There MUST be basic standards to be met. Being a female is not enough. AS they say... show me your ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS AND IF YOU WANT TO RUN FOR LEADERSHIP IN THE FREE WORLD, they better be from one of our IVY LEAGUE institutions.

What does Palin have to say...hmmmmm "Thanks but no Thanks"–I do not want to know!

No offense Palin, but I doubt there will be anything to be learned in the information you will provide. But you do need the money for your legal defense and all so kudos to you for inking a book deal.

No doubt the book will require a ghost writer. She could not put a coherent paragraph together, let alone a few hundred pages. She will probably get "misquoted" in her own book! And no, I won't be reading it.

"Unrestrained" (by facts) and "unfiltered" (by an editor)... sounds more like a work of fiction than an autobiography. Especially considering some of the things that came out of her mouth when she was "restrained and filtered" on the campaign trail.

Wow, so much hate around here. She is a true inspiration to many Americans. I can't wait to read her book.

Ah yes, The Little Hockey Mom That Couldn't. Glad to know she found that journalism degree that she used to have.

Let's try again;

Palin sure has the power to stir up the emotions on the left. For being described as such a loser, she sure has drawing power on the CNN ticker. Simple, if you don't like Palin, don't buy the book.

Why so much hatred from the left? Palin is successful as a Gov. and believes deeply in her values. Just because they aren't your values should you spew so much hate? I think this board tells us much about the party and people running our country today, and it is scary.

And all from the party of tolerence!

I will not buy or read Palin's book. I don't want to help her become rich when she has used inflammatory rhetoric to bring out the worst of people at campaign stops. She has been found guilty of ethical violations in Alaska. I don't want to support a person with her record!

We already know how she went from being a nobody in Alaska ...

To being a nobody in Alaska ...

John McCain needed a female puppet ...

THE END

Dear Disappointed I voted for The Obama

To quote you:

"It is amazing how many people on this forum bash Ms. Palin for having the opportunity to write a book about herself while gushing about Pres. Obama's books. Isn't that a little hypocritical? Obama's books would be "doorstop material" (to quote a few of you on the potential Palin book) if he hadn't been elected President, "

Ummmmmm no, his books were bestsellers long before he was President. They are thoughtful books with some interesting insights.

Sarah Palin's will be a autobiography ranking up there with Paris Hilton's and Nicole Ritchie's. She really hasn't ACCOMPLISHED much. Traipsed around a few colleges and got a degree (now is that a two year or a four year??), became mayor of a small town that used a town manager for day to day operations, ran said town into debt, somehow managed to convince the people of Alaska she could run their state, as a female governor she came to the attention of John McCain as a running mate of the right gender, was not allowed to talk to the media for weeks, and then when turned loose failed miserably at speaking coherently about relevant topics. Yeah that's a doosie of a life story. Can't wait.

Thank goodness we'll finally get to hear her side. Not like the totally unquestioned fables we heard about her when she was initially nominated. Or the many, many talk shows she's been on during and since the election. Or the magazine profiles. I don't know why she talks about her story getting told like it hasn't been already. She just wants to tell it without anyone asking her questions.

Be still my heart! I can hardly wait. You betcha!

I'm sure she make a bundle. Only in America is there a huge market for a story about a small-town dim bulb with a cult following who had her 15 minutes of fame as a VP candidate.

$10 says it will have pop-up pictures. Especially ones that show which places are countries, and which are continents.

It'll be a success-for sure.

Good goin'.

Maybe you'll even get to show how you are knocking the socks off of all Governors, with even what Democrats CLAIM to be THEIR issues with renewable energy.

You were the one who had the boldest plan yet, no weak kneed like Richardson or others, coming up with 15-25 percent from renewable sources in 15-35 years.

Governor Palin brings 50 percent of energy from renewable resources. YEP, there's the walk, not empty talk!

I didn't even read the article. What idiot would give her a contract in the first place. Her thinking is so backwards that she belongs in the dark ages. Thank God she's a republican.

Palin's perspective is meaningless, she doesn't have a clue, and her hypocrisy and spin doctoring makes this a joke. Should be a best seller with the Limburger Lemmings, but an albatross everywhere else.

I've never seen someone who can throw a punch then cry foul when it is done back as does Palin.

The title of her book should be,

My Struggle With The Media Elite: How Unfair Everyone Was

How much do you want to bet that book is filled with blame for everyone but herself?

A person doesn't have to be intelligent to have a best seller, they just have to be interesting. And whether you love Palin or despise Palin, she is captivating. I am not interested in reading her book anymore than I am interested in reading Elizabeth Edwards, but at least these women provide a unique perspective to an otherwise monolithic male dominated medium.

Ahhhh . .. politics in America! The true path to incredible wealth (sadly).

Whenever Palin talks about her Journalism degree, she sound like a kid fresh out of school that wonders why no one will hire her.

Yes, I'm sure this will be a hallmark of honest self-assessment. How many pages in before she throws McCain under the bus?

I'll buy the book! Regardless of her opinions and chosen party, the path Palin took on her rise to political stardom is an impressive one. I hope her book inspires other people - on both sides of the political spectrum - to get involved with issues they feel passionate about.

Hope she plans to give John McCain a big share. Hadn't been for him, she'd still be a nobody.

Is there anyone out there who DIDN'T see this one coming???

Um yeah, I'll be passing on that one. I already know enough about her from her own mouth, and that's scary enough. No, I'll stick to books from intellectuals thank you very much.

I've been helping her go over some potential titles:

1. How to win a few friends and irritate millions.
2. When does the talent portion of the electoral pageant start?
3. Russia outside my window.
4. Just say no, but mean yes.
5. Move over Dan Quayle.
6. Flash in the pan.
7. 15 Minutes of fame, how to stretch it into 15 months.
8. American politics for Dummies, an Autobiography.
9. Shallow.
10. The Over-achiever's Guide to suxses.

CNN wont post this, which is a shame, but I don't believe the woman is capable of writing a book, she doesn't speak as though she's ever READ a book. if the book is well thought out, articulate and literate, we will know whe had a ghostwriter.

Those silly republicans, don't they know Sara Palin was the reason
they lost the last election because nobody likes her. Now shes going
to put a book out right before the 2012 presidential primaries begin.
I guess the republicans want to lose the election again. How stupid are they or maybe Palin wants to sabotage their chances. Sara Palin is an incredibly uninteresting person. Shes just an after thought on the last election. and she definetely won't bring in women voters to the GOP.

Now she'll be able to complain about the mainstream press distorting the words in her book, and not just the nonsense that dribbles out of her head.

I am from Alaska and I am not what Palin is all about.

The Republican party needed a photogenic woman on the ticket to try and draw Hillary supporters and not just have two old, white guys running. It didn't matter if she was unqualified, lacked common sense, and kept lying about a bridge even after everyone knew the truth. Now, stretch that out for 350 pages and you have a book explaining the "secret" to her "meteoric rise" to VP candidate.

But that won't be this book. This book will be a bunch of BS that her handlers think will help get her another shot at the oval office. I was worried that at McCain's age, there was a good chance she would be running the country if they won. That was just one of the reasons I voted for Obama instead of sticking with my own party.

Not an edorsement of either party, though. If you want truth from a book, don't read one written by a politician with ambition.

What could she possibly have to reveal in her book that hasn't already been broadcast all over the U.S.A.? She destroyed herself quite thoroughly when she campaigned and kept ranting about Obama and when she appeared on t.v. interviews and made a total fool of herself. Quite revealing. There isn't anything left to know. Her messy family life in Alaska has been all over the news, the problems with the brother-in-law (her sister's ex-husband state trooper), her sister-in-law (Todd's sister getting arrested), her son who is in the military (because he would have been in prison otherwise), (not) son-in-law, Levi, (not) son-in-law's mother getting arrested for selling drugs, etc. etc. Got to admit, though, she does have an interesting family life!!

What's the big deal? Everyone writes a book. Barack Obama wrote a book before he was even elected Senator. Hillary Clinton wrote a book. John Edwards wrote a book. Elizabeth Edwards wrote a book. John McCain wrote a book. Palin will write her book and then go out on the publicity tour and the media will focus on the gossipy stuff about her family.

I love biographies and autobiographies but I can't purchase a book and let her have the financial gain when I know for a fact that who I am would fall outside of the people she would have concern for. Also, I am interested in who will purchase the book. Let's all be honest, the people who support her aren't really the "reading" type.

I will read her book out of morbid curiosity, BUT I will get it from my local library, she's not getting any of my money!...

Ah...a book I certainly have no interest in reading.

Yeah, just what we need now, another great piece of literature. Yeah, Right!!!!! Spare Us Please. No More. Many of us have had enough already.

Hopefully all Americans will read her book. The only hope for America's future is if we all live by or are at least tolerant of Palin's values. The hate being spewed in the posts for this ticker make it obvious that our nation is divided almost beyond hope. Only 54 out of a hundered people voted for Obama. 46 out of a 100 voted for McCain/Palin, many just because Palin was on the ticket. The left can hate all they want, but the right sill represents close to half of America, the election did not change that. If the hate contiunes, America is doomed. Do we really want an America where when you walk into a room full of people we hate about half of them whether you are from the left or the right?

Yes its great that we finally get to hear her unfettered views. Free from those constraints of live television and closely supervised by a team of editors and fact checkers...

Oh Lord help me. She isn't writing the book herself is she? LOL

Yeah, I'm sure everything thing the media said about you was untrue and your book will be filled with the truth and nothing but. *rolls eyes*

It will be interesting to see how she will campaign as a person of average means after receiving 7-10 million for the book deal. If she earns that much money but still argues to be like "average Joe" then it should raise some red flags for everyone. I will also be interested to see how she fares in her next election as Governor.

To Fiction or Non-Fiction, that is the question . .

I am looking forward to it. Go PALIN....

It is about time. Good for her.

Interestingly, for the sake of curiosity, most of you will indeed read her book (whether you admit it or not , and get some laughs. I can already see her announcing the book on the Daily Show, lol. In spite of the comments, this book will be a fast seller!

To: Disappointed I voted for The Obama May 13th, 2009 11:18 am ET

I enjoy reading biographies about people that inspire, or intrigue me.
I choose not to read about people whose outstanding characteristics are how well they can lie while simultaneously smiling, and winking.

I have never bought or even read a book by or about President Obama and I really do not anticipate doing so. Sarah Palin, however, is a different matter. I will buy her book as soon as it is available. It will be refreshing to read something factual instead of the drivel disseminated by most of the media who are nothing more than a propaganda arm of the current administration.. Reminds me of another time when it was like that, the difference is that formerly they were forced into it and the current crop sold out willingly. If you know your history you wil recognize what I mean.

Of all the interesting women who have accomplished things in politics, business, sports, military service, and so forth, why produce a biography of her? I find her positively vapid. I am certain the people I see with "Palin" bumper stickers do not buy books.

What a waste of time... she is not going to write the book herself she will simply dictate to a ghost writer. The GOP will have it edited to meet their message in some way and then say "we told you America she's intellegent, she wrote a book"!

Charles Barkley wrote a book too, when asked about excerpts from it.... he didn't know what he wrote (hmmm).

Just don't go on Katie Couric to promote it.

The question is not whether Palin will write a book. The question is who will read it to her afterward?

Personally, I find her refreshingly unfiltered, in an unrestrained, uneducated,unbelieveable sort of way. Go get your money, honey!

Obama/whoever '12 send/submit!

If she puts her journalism degree to good use and does not use a ghostwriter I'm sure Democrats would love this. A book written by Gov. Palin would go a long way adding to the ranks of the Democratic Party. She, Lumbutt and Cheney are three of the biggest draws Democrats have going for them.

Republicans are doing a masterful job of self destruction within their ranks.

Lynn:

She put herself out there, opened her sweet, moral, ethical mouth and let garbage come out of it. Don't judge her, just elect her? Not a chance on either front. Her insincerity is only matched by her ignorance. Her lack of true care and affection for her family is only matched by her love of self. She if loathful.

Mrs Sarah Palin go head and get paided. Palin could easily fetch $7-11 million, you go girl, it's all about Dollar Dollar Bill. I want the audio book to hear that voice say "you bet ya!"

I certainly wouldn't waste my money on her book. Hope when she makes her millions she will help some of the struggling people in Alaska and throughout the country. Doubt it though.

I am a conservative but I wouldn't pay a plug nickle for her book!

For goodness sake, Stwart and Colbert, do NOT let her on your shows to promote the "book".

I can't wait!! I think it will be a wonderful read!! It is refreshing to see a down to earth politician who makes decisions based on an average person's everyday life unlike the current administration who definitely has an agenda and tunnel vision.

I can't imagine what else she would have to say and what else I would care to know. It's like we've heard enough from her. Have all of the other Vice Presidential candidates written books about themselves after a lost election? What is this fascination about her? I don't see her as anything special, or her family much different than a lot of other American families that supposedly have strong convictions that fail. Sure she became a mouth piece for the McCain run for President and did a fantastic job of trying to deceive the American people. A fantastic job of that, but as far as appearing the fine Christian woman she wants us all to think that she is I never saw it. I heard the talk but I didn't see the walk. This must be another attempt on her part to get the validation she so seems to need for herself. Hey everyone, look at me. See the wonderful mother, Christian, advocate of the mentally handicapped person that I am. I'm the best and you've just got to see that. Well, frankly I don't think that she is the best and I don't think that she could ever convince me of such. I think that we saw enough of the real her during the election. A woman who would have sold her sole to be in the lime light. A woman who wasn't even close to being ready for the part and one who didn't care if she wasn't as all she wanted was the nortoriety. She sold out on her own daughter in the process. Something a Mother should never do. I haven't an ounce of respect for her after seeing her spew lies and fear as well as she did and bring her family into such a negative inviornment. The last thing I would do is support her by buying her book.

"I mean come on…the lady was thrown into the political arena and the media was drinking so much kool-aid that she could have been a Rhodes Scholar and they would have made her seem like a hick not fit to run for dog-catcher." ----- No, she had the benefit of the doubt until she actually opened her mouth and did all that damage on her own.

When does this woman have time to do her job that she has been sworn in to do and gets paid to do....also when does she have time to be the best mom she can be......

By all means, put that journalism degree to work, since you haven't done so to date. Just write it yourself; then we'll see whether you can think at all.

As a liberral Democrat, I would be interested in reading her book.
I think she is an interesting woman. I would be interested in how she managed to raise 5 children , pursue a political career, and get elected without any support from the Republican Party in a hugely Republic state. Plus Alaska is always interesting to read about.

So many of the bloggers seem to be just parrotting what they consider the political correct position in what they think is a cute way, but isn't.

What happened to tolerance of different views and positionsa/

JJ

If Harper Collins ever had respect, they just lost it. Palin will tell only what she wants to. File this one under fiction.

I am sure she can use the cash to pay her lawyers for all her ethics battles.
I won't be buying the book. enough said.

Wow, she's going to tell how she incites hate, travels by air cross-country when in labor, uses her special needs child as a political prop, charged her state for living expenses in her own home....I can't wait.

I dont begrudge her making money, but I do have a problem with her making it based on lies, innuendo, and silliness. I think anybody who has ever crossed her should be very afraid. John McCain especially, for various other reasons. Her horns will come out with this tome.

Now if she can just get Rush to write the foreword.

book deals are a dime a dozen, anything, anybody sells in America

****************************************************************
What could this women have to say of any substance. The nice thing about America is that you can write a book and the American people have the choice to read it or not to read it ! That's what America is all about freedom of choice and freedom of speech. I choose not to listen to this kind of BS that the Republican party puts out or tries to feed to their follower's.
****************************************************************

Oh god.... there'll be a spike in emergency room cases as liberals throw their usual irrational embolisms over THIS news! Go Sarah!

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!!!! Another grand opportunity for Ms. Palin to open her (unfiltered) mouth and solidify–in case anyone has any doubt–that she will most assuredly never be the President of the United States.

Thank you, Governor, thank you, thank you, thank you.,

Her story is Alaska's story? Poor Alaska...

I feel soooo sorry for the poor ghost writer that has to make her incoherent babble into sentences. He/she will have such a headache. I wonder if she will reveal that Alaska is the most socialist state in the union? The state with the largest per captia tax and largest per captia welfare spending? When the oil is gone that state will need more aid than Darfur.

Sarah Palin you are from Alaska, you are not Alaska.

Please keep that straight so we will continue to visit there.

Let's see. See has four children and a grandchild at home, one with special needs and a teen with a baby. She travels to make appearances to raise money for political campaigns. Her husband travels with their teen to make TV appearances in support of sex abstinance for teens and he also makes appearances in Sarah's absence at functions. She has the state of Alaska to run. Just who is taking care of her family? Is this going to be covered in her book?

Will we be seeing one of her children writing a book in ten years telling about the disfunctional family they were raised in? Just wondering!

I have no interest in anything she has to say. It will be filled with ME, MYSELF and I! Think I've heard enough already. They should put the book with all the other literary gems, on the shelf at the checkout counter in the supermarket.

The palin college tour

From North Idaho College, Palin transferred 70 miles south to the University of Idaho, the state's flagship institution. She majored in journalism with an emphasis in broadcast news. She attended Idaho, whose mascot is the Vandals, from fall 1984 to spring 1985.

She then returned to Alaska to attend Matanuska-Susitna College in Palmer in fall 1985.

Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987, when she graduated. Despite her journalism degree, she does not appear to have worked for the college newspaper or campus television station, school officials said. She worked briefly as a sportscaster for KTUU in Anchorage after she graduated college.

Oh great. Just when we thought we were rid of her she comes back to haunt us some more. If this book sells I know that P.T. Barnum was right. Only I will believe that the pace has picked up to "one every second", not minute.

It is amazing how many people on this forum bash Ms. Palin for having the opportunity to write a book about herself while gushing about Pres. Obama's books. Isn't that a little hypocritical? Obama's books would be "doorstop material" (to quote a few of you on the potential Palin book) if he hadn't been elected President, yet most everyone is willing to degrade a Palin book before it has even been written. Shame on all of you.

I have read both of Obama's books and look forward to reading Palin's. I will then pass judgement on the quality. Maybe all of you should do the same.

She should try reading a few books before she tries to write one. I can't imagine it would have any more depth than the funny pages in the paper. What a crock.

Normally does not politicians wait until they leave office to write their 'tell all' book? But, I am sure all those rich people in Alaska do not mind paying this grand lady while she is writing her book and ingoring the State's business.

Does none not call that double dipping?

Definitely not one that I will be buying. I find her more annoying than charismatic......Sarah being Sarah it will no doubt win a Pulitzer Prize for fiction!

Is this a joke? You betcha!

"You bloggers are unbelievable. Can't you even be happy for anyone except Obama?"

Sure can..Do it daily.

But you see....I'm one of the people she labeled as "Anti-American, Terrorst -lover, and not part of the "True America".

Reap what you sow darling....reap what you sow.

I'll read it, along with all my neighbors in the trailer park. Remember J.B. Says' Law: Supply creates its own demand.

I have a strong feeling this won't make Oprah's book club!

Walk a mile in someone's shoes before you judge them.

Had she been elected, she wouldn't need to write memoirs. Dante's Inferno was published a long time ago.

I guess she's not planning on ever again running for any office in the executive branch.

Speaking without a filter sounds like a career-killer for Palin; even when she supposedly DID have such a filter while running for VP, few could understand anything she said.

"Meteoric rise".

Is it just me, or do meteors actually fall downwards, not rise?

Of course, a meteor is actually a pretty good metaphor for Palin. Crashing in flames down towards a messy explosion.

This woman never misses an opportunity to embarrass herself and the great State of Alaska.

Who's going to write it for her?

I love how everyone that defends her calls her "intelligent."

She's simply not, and that's what the whole facination with her is. How a complete average nobody got flung into the spotlight.

I don't hate her, just her politics.

From a factual standpoint she's just not that smart. I don't think Biden is all that smart either, however he trounces her.

I assume this book will come with a box of color crayons and a decoder ring???

Unfiltered? Just a cash in opp. Whoever buy her book would already believe whatever she says any way, even it's not true any way. As for general public, why should we trust her more than media?

Will someone please tell me the last time a politician, ANY politician, put the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in his or her memoir? That's why buying such books is a waste of money, unless you're a blind fan of the politician who (ghost) writes it.

If you want the truth, wait for a scholarly biography written by a journalist or historian, and not just some political hack.

What significant thing could she have to talk about? I know, she's going to tell us how to make moose chili, while looking at Russia on a clear day! Or maybe How to get your family a new wardrobe, for FREE!!, you betcha! Why not tell us how you intend to put us out of our misery with your need to be in the spot light.

Who is writing it?
Certainly not her – she can't put 2-sentences together without making "word salad".

They'll need to engage several full time editors who can translate the gibberish that is Ms. Palin's version of the English language.

"Then don't read it!!!! Millions of us will !!!!!!!!! Good for you, Sarah!!!!!!"

The 27 million Limbaugh Americans are a great number for a bookseller or entertainer, but it's still only about 8-10% of the electorate. Great for a fanatically insular community, terrible for winning elections. I couldn't be more okay with that.

OK...all she has to do is cut and paste all of the news stories about her life into a book and have it bound. There will be no new information. She's probably thinking that Barack wrote a book and became president, so she can write a book a become president. The key word is thinking. No one knew everything there was to know about Barack before he ran for president, so his books were helpful. Everyone knows everything there is to know about Palin. The content of the book can be summed up in three lines:

I'm great!
The media hates!
Vote for me in 2012!

I heard this and I was like, I thought she was given this book deal long ago......

Who knew she could write.

What would a day be without a good round of Palin jokes?

To be honest, I might actually buy this mess. if she is unfiltered and they let her shoot from the hip, it would have to be the funniest read in quite some time. But I'll wait till it's at the local grocery store for $1 with any purchase.

Well some one will have a busy time rewriting this cause what she will say wont make any sense and they will have a lot correcting to do as she cannot even speak in a complete sentence. She will have three buyers Rush, Colter and Ingram. Rush will be first in line we all know. Wonder if she thinks this wiklkl help her presidential run in 2012

Oooh! I have a good title for it:

"Reinventing the Truth"

Who will do the writing? We know she is incapable of such a literary effort. Her super compound, complex sentences lacking in punctuation (lacking in a valid point) are not easily deciphered.
I doubt it will be a blockbuster. Maybe she and Bush can get together to critique each others efforts. Ha

Wow – considering this woman can't put a basic sentence together when she speaks, I SERIOUSLY hope she's got a very good editor. This "book" promises to be funnier than her candidacy!

"Put my journalism degree to work." Haha. What on earth that has to do with someone else penning a book for her is beyond me. Too bad every time she mentions her J. degree it only makes people remember that she went to a series of second-string community colleges to get that B.S.

Fascinating and captivating? My life is way more fascinating and captivating than her's. And I don't kill wolves.
Please this woman is a complete and total idiot. She can't write or speak a sentence without it being a total mess. And who really cares about her life? This woman is a joke.

The book will be a dud. I bet it won't make Oprah's book list. And if it does, Oprah will probably say this is a book I do not recommend.

All she has done is complain about the press. Now she'll write a book giving even more ammo for the press. Very smart Sarah. I hope the book include photos of turkeys being slaughtered. She could call the book "How to Kill a Campaign".

I really don't understand why anyone would want to waste even one penny on her.

What a worthless waste of paper this will be. Palin has no story to tell and is just going to make stuff up about how persecuted she's been.

Its like watching the train wreck that Britney Spears became. Someone needs to take control of this idiot before she implodes.

Enough already.

OMG! She can write.... Who doesn't have a book deal.... Liz Cheney will be next to get one.

To Laura, Keene NH:

We hold our elected officials to a higher standard. Many of the people posting here don't have the exposure she does, have much more limited funds, and are also dealing with unique and difficult situations on the homefront. Sarah Palin is not special in this way.

I've started writing a book, and although it is not an autobiography, it is difficult all the same.

However, the criticism of Sarah Palin is directed at her ignorance and intolerance. This is a woman who during he campaign allowed people to shout "Kill Him" regarding our current President, to stroke fears and rumors that he's "palling around with terrorists", and who fails to admit any of her own shortcomings.

In point of fact, this is a woman hellbent on one thing: personal glory. She does not have the best interest of her family (and especially not her children) in mind, but only on what she can achieve.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Palin to put her journalism degree to work. So far she hasn't shown that she can put even her basic college education to work.

Her punative ACES tax and her failed AGIA policy that interfered in the free market and may eventually knot-up any gas pipeline have been policy disasters.

I hope she makes enough money that she will leave the governor's office, and then I hope I never have to her her name again.

Ho-hum. Who cares.

She could not have written the book, anyway. How does someone who needs to go to seven colleges before she can graduate write a single coherent sentence?

I for one will buy the book. She is a freash of breath air. At least Alaska
is not on the red as supposed the democrat controll California & New York.

It will sell more than Nancy Pelosi book did, speaking of Pelsoi is the witch still hiding out of of the country or did she sneak back to DC?

I very much look forward to reading it!

Palin – 2012

By then we'll be more than ready to get rid of O'Bummer.

Can't wait to read the book and get the truth that the liberal media very seldom seems to report.

I refuse to buy anything this publishing co. puts out if they really do pay this brain dead nit wit any money for her story.

You're kidding, right?

The nine most dangerous words in the English language ...

according to Ronald Reagan, "I'm from the Federal Government. Let me help you."

according to Bill Maher, "I'm Sarah Palin. Now, show me the launch codes."

Some here have suggested a coloring book....I suggest that it be a comic book...filed under the "fable" section of the store. Not sure what the lesson would be, however! But it should end with "you betcha!"

Maybe she can get Bush to edit it? What a waste of trees.

Ahhhh Palin, the Omarosa of politics.......

Oh No! May 13th, 2009 10:49 am ET
Please don't tell all — I don't want to hear it….
----------–

Then don't read it!!!! Millions of us will !!!!!!!!! Good for you, Sarah!!!!!!

Who will supply her with the crayons?

Her side ought to take all of half a page. Oh, pardon me, she is a journalist after all, should be about 2 pages full of whiny content.....POOR ME, you BETCHA

Wonder who the ghost-writer will be who puts it together.

Also wonder who the ghost-reader will be who tells her what it's about.

In PR, it's called "perception is reality." We'll get her perception/reality. Oh boy. As a J-school grad and former reporter, I find it hilarious that she'll use her journalism degree to write such a book. By definition, a self-penned book about yourself is not "objective." Tomes such as this usually come from creative writing/English majors. Guess it comes down to whose filter you want to use.

Wow, I can't wait to read Palin's version of the truth. This lady is so carefree about using facts or fiction interchangeably that it will quite hard to classify this book as either.

Thanks but no thanks

Walmart sells cheaper and better door-stops!

"betcha" she will write that "evolution is just a theory" in the book just like any other "myth" or story without understanding that scientific theories are based on observable facts

awww Good for her.. i would rather read about her life then hear her speak about it on TV ..lol

@ Laura, Keene NH

She came to my state of Virginia and the audacity to say that one part of America is more American than other parts. Then she tried to cover her butt by saying the media misintepreted her. That's bologna. The Sarah Palin I heard last year was inciting hate rhetoric at her rallies. I will never give her any respect.

It will tell the truth? Like..you know...selling the jet on eBay? Able to see Russia from where she's at? Her experience with foreign policy? Sure.... I can hardly wait. I have to wonder how she's going to be capable of finding time to write a book when she's governing Alaska. Not to mention her "linguistic" abilities. I wouldn't be surprised if her "Journalism Degree" turns out to be an online course in "Advanced Spellcheck".

When did an autobiography provide unfiltered objectivity?

The far right flock will be sure to buy it. I know I won't be.

No doubt it will make the NY Times best seller list. I'm no Palin fan and will not read it but more power to her......You gotta love the oppurtunity America affords her to make the big money!

I find very little that the media had to say about her to be untrue. She seems to forget that with the Internet, people can actually go to many sources to ferret out the truth. She never met a lie she couldn't twist. I really doubt that she has much to say, or that people will actually pay money to read her strange logic. And gee, isn't she terribly busy running a state and her growing family? Plus galivanting to events? When will she find the time to write a whole book? Oh, I forgot. Alaska only has a part time legislature. She's most likely on vacation.

I've got a great title

"Word Salad"

Maybe she’ll include a couple shots of herself during her bikini pageant days in the chapter describing how she was victimized for being a woman.

Just great. I can't wait to walk past that display in Borders.

OMG – imagine how many times you would have to reread EVERY single sentence in Sarah Palin's book to understand ANYTHING she has to say. I have never seen an elected official with such a poor grasp of the English language. Poor Univ. of Idaho....they have to claim her as an alumni??? They must be so embarrassed!!

Wouldn't she better serve her ambitions by writing a book about foreign policy or economics?

I find it so sad that ALL of these flawed people eventually write a book – and actually make good money from them. Maybe that is what political office is really all about. Forget about doing something for the people.

I bet Rush will give her some airtime to promote it! He can sputter and spew while she voices streams of disjointed words and incoherent sentences. Should make for a riveting show. If this keeps up, the Republican party will be more endangered than anything currently on the endangered list. And the only thing that actually deserves to become extinct.

Hope no one buys it she is not worth whateve this book will cost let her go home and please stay out of the lime light embarrassing.

"it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are"

That change in strategy could end her career.

I notice there's nothing in the proposed content about her view of different policies, issues, etc. It's going to be all about "my story." I guess that really says it all. I don't have to buy the book.

Her 'meteoric rise to vice presidential candidate'??? What rise?? She was picked out of a bucket and was dumped right back in when the fiasco was all over.
If McCain hadnt been such a stodgy old white man he never would have picked a pretty young white woman.
It was a miserable ploy and she needs to just shut-up and disappear already.
Im tired of this no-name Palin woman.

Oh, I can't wait to see what The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Letterman, Leno, Kimmel, (and the list goes on) does with this. This is the kind of material they dream of. It's the gift that keeps on giving for comedians. Hmmm, let's see if she dares to cover any or all of the illegal doings that she (and the "First Dude") have been involved in.
Meteoric rise from being a inept sportscaster to a mayor of the meth capital of the world to being the first Republican VP candidate because the RNC and the Republican Presidential candidate thought it would be a "slam dunk" way to win an election given they didn't have any real strategy to get the prize and believed the American people were too dumb to figure it out. (didn't learn their lesson either because they thought putting Steele in as RNC head would make them look "progressive" and "cool".)

Someone finish this: "Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, and Dan Quayle walk into a Barnes & Nobles..."

Can't wait to read this one!!

Coming soon to a Dollar Store near you...

whatever. so she's writing a book to make money. i say let her do it. yes, it's funny, but it'll make money for that publisher as well. what really bothers me is that she purports she will tell the truth about what alaska is really all about. my thought: alaska and 'what it stands for' – as she says – is probably nothing like how she'll portray it. she's making money off of false pretenses when she claims things like that.

This book gives Palin her final opportunity to repair her image for future national endeavors. According to the article, Palin will be writing the book herself. She has been documenting her experiences in a journal and that's where her content will come from I guess.

The books probabaly gonna have pop up pictures in it.

So I assume this will be in the Childrens Book department at Wal Mart. Big cardboard pages with few words on each page. Stick drawings of polar bears, Putin's head, etc.

My guess is that it will be like most books targeted at that crowd (ie, the Left Behind series): mammoth font and w i d e margins

Another Book Of Lies. She believes what she wants. It's just another manipulative way of her feeding her BS to the public. I wouldn't believe a word of it, if she is the one who is writing it.

"...it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully..."
How is a book by an individual a forum? She should have payed more attention in that Journalism course.

She was the first peron in my lifetime to be so cruelly treated and slandered by the mainstream press. It will be refreshing to hear her tell of her interesting life, strong marriage, and love of people and public service. She's a decent and intelligent woman. (Biden proves regularly weekly that verbal stumbling is possible for talkative and personable people.)

Looks like they found a second book for the George W Bush Presidential Library Of Coloring Books.

Oh goody, a couple of weeks worth of good material for Stewart/Colbert.

I wonder how she will get around the elite main stream media (and it's evil plot to destroy her and her family) while promoting this literary gem?

Peace.

Yay! I love a good fiction based on politics.

She won't need that monetary help now, will she? All the donated money should be sent back. Hope the ghost writer makes a fortune on this.

A great title would be " GOTCHA ".

I could use a book like that on my bookshelf for when Ann Coulter comes over . . . . . .

Great!!!!!!!! Another Waste Of Trees!!!!!!

Is it a coloring book?
If it is her life story, it should only be about 10 pages long.
Please go away

Good for her!!!!

So this woman who does not read newspapers or magazines is going to write a book? She could not possibly write about anything of benefit or interest.

Please don't tell all - I don't want to hear it....

This is a direct violation of Alaska state code of ethics for elected officials. She is barred from accepting payment for other work while Governor. Just another crime from crooked Sarah.

Is it going to be a coloring book?

Very doubtful that sales will come anywhere close to Hillary's record-breaking bio.

But, of course, Hillary has a brain, class, poise, grace and dignity.

And Palin has none of those traits.

I'm going to put my copy on the bookshelf right next to 'My Pet Goat'.

Thanks goodness this is all coming out before the new SNL season!

I'm not a Palin Fan,but if you can make millions of dollars just by telling your life story, who wouldn't do it?!? People stop being disrespectful just to be disrespectful.

The publisher will NOT make any money. No one is interested in Mrs. Palin except Mrs. Palin.

Which will it be? A comic book or a pop-up book?

Journalism degree?
Where the philosophy classes full?
I bet her electives were Ballroom Dancing and Bowling.

She can't string two sentences together, how she gonna write a book? Her ghost writer will earn every buck he makes. You betcha!

If the American electorate was just a few percentage points more intelligent, this woman would be our vice president today instead of Joe the Plagarist.

GO SARAH, 2012!!.......this time hopefully WITHOUT McCain.

Wide margins, double spaced and with large print I assume.

It's going to be a 300 page book containing one long run-on sentence.

WOW ~ Who is ACTUALLY writing this so called book? Sarah Palin can't even compose a full, coherent sentence. Maybe the neo-cons who SO love her, will loan her a Kindergartener to ghost-write this book for her.

I say any profits from the "book" be put towards her debt to the US taxpayers for her and her families EXCESSIVE campaign wardrobe.

I can't believe she ever READ a book, much less was capable of writing one!

That this creature could get a book deal at all underscores the fact that most Americans are too stupid for democracy.

So because Palin is writing a book to (obviously) try and make herself seem like less of a failure, we should buy the book and believe right into it? C'mon. She said all she needed to say in her interviews running for VP, there are no redos to hide fundamental logic flaws and thought processes you consistently present to the media. I'm sick of Palin... she's a complete joke.

didn't she say that she did not ink a deal previously? This is not news CNN, we all knew this was coming, Yawn

What could the clueless pathological liar honestly have to say? Seriously. You couldn't pay me to read it.

She showed us that she can't interview how can she possibly put words into the form of a book? Just another book that will end up for sale at the dollar store.

You bloggers are unbelievable. Can't you even be happy for anyone except Obama?

I mean come on...the lady was thrown into the political arena and the media was drinking so much kool-aid that she could have been a Rhodes Scholar and they would have made her seem like a hick not fit to run for dog-catcher. I wonder how many of you have taken the rafter out of your own eye before you see the twig in someone elses. Judging by the comments thusfar....NONE! How many of you hold down a super demanding job and go home and take care of a special needs child? Probably again NONE! So until you can walk a mile in her shoes...don't judge huh?

I am independant just so you don't come back at me with a oh she's a Repuglican (notice the mispelling).

Laura, Keene NH

A copy might come in handy on a camping trip or on a farm with an out house..The old Sears catalogs are no longer available..

cash in dear Sarah, get all the money you can, your a flash in the pan

but

please run next election and make sure... Jerry Springer style... that you keep us up on your family's doings

very entertaining

This will give her yet another moment in the spotlight to try and convince people how innocent she is. I cannot believe that she was called "inspiring" by Murphy. That is an insult to anyone's intelligence.
Hopefully she realizes that she will not be reelected and that she has NO chance to advance her political "career."

Please, CNN and the rest of the news media, let's stop giving Sarah Palin any more time. She's yesterday's bad news. She's yesterday's embarrassment. Can't we get past her and Dick Cheney?

Is it going to be released as Fiction.
You can look into her political career in Alaska and see that there hasn't been a single sentence to come out of her mouth, that wasn't a lie.

Wow...for the supposed "party of compassion" all of you sound downright mean.
Good luck with the bokk Sarah. You will prove these posters wrong when it's a Best Seller.

Who in their right mind cares!?!?!?

Can you even imagine that Republicans still worship her as a peson with great morality?

Remember when they rolled her out – "Down to earth mother with great morals" to fight against the tainted and corrupt liberals.

Man....They got some solid judgement eh?

Judging from the answers she gives in interviews the book will need some serious editing to make it readable.

Oh, this will be good. For the Democratic party, that is.

While I'm not a fan of Mrs. Palin, I do look forward to reading this. I can not stand our zero-experience President, but I did find Audacity of Hope a simple yet fascinating read. When I'm done it will go on the book-shelf right next to Barry's books...where all three can collect dust.

This is going to be amazing! It will be this book that catapults Sarah into the presidency in 2012!

She's going to "put her journalism degree to work? LOL. This woman has no concept of grammar or sentence structure, so the work is all going to be done obviously by someone else, while Sarah makes off with the loot.

And there's really something we don't already know about this nitwit and her dysfunctional family?

Can this moron say anything without bashing the mainstream media? She's like a parrot.

You Mean the Degree it took her 6 Years and 3 Colleges to get? I agree this Is a Coloring Book will it come with Crayons?

I will refrain from commenting on this because it's just too easy. It's essentially a joke that writes itself. Oh well. Have a nice day!

Does anyone really care to hear what she has to say...? How is she even still in the news since the election?!? Her only claim to fame was that she was easily impersonated on SNL by a much brighter, much more interesting person in Tina Fey.

I wonder if she will come clean about her infidelity and her "affair of the heart"? That chapter might be worth reading.

She did now have anything interesting to say while she was on the campaign trail and she does not have anything of interest to say in her upcoming book. Tell her to do not waste her time and our time.

Palin writing a book? That's an oxymoron. She can't speak in sentences and books contain sentences. Incidentally, WHAT is a degree in journalism? It's nothing more than a low-grade diploma not worthy of the name of an academic discipline AND she took five years to achieve even that.

I'm sure Sarah's motive is strictly to "set the record straight". So, I assume she'll donate all profits from the book to a worthy charity in Alaska (if there are enough sales to generate a profit; I certainly wouldn't waste my money on a copy). This is just another reminder to me of why I voted for Barack Obama after 40+ years voting for Republicans. I always referred to myself as an Independent. Now, I'm a Democrat...and proud of our new President & First Lady!

Nice comment about "Also" being the title. Actually to be more accurate it should be "Also, Too"

One of my best friends worked for Harper...he'd be appalled that this is being published.

Not something I would buy...but of course, many will.

What can this woman have to say?

Will the book be in extra large print and have the title"My Pet Seal"?Will it have a photos centerfold,chopper shots,leghold traps and bear rasslin contest?

Is Sarah Palin capable of telling the truth, ever?

She sure has the Harper Collins guy snowed. He thinks she is charismatic. I think she's one of the most obnoxious and self serving beings in existence. Can't even call her human.

She doesn't have to worry about getting my money. I despise this woman and she needs to keep her diviseive politics in Alaska.

Sarah Palin is the Paris Hilton of politics. She has a small number of fans, and a huge number who put her in the "love to hate" category. Maybe that will sell some books, but it won't win votes.

It's over Sarah. Just... go home. Please.

Still blaming the mainstream media?!? She loves the camera more than McCain.

'the likely blockbuster memoir....surely will be a captivating book..'
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only in America......God Bless Her!

This will be a must have paperweight for the coffee tables of those uneducated red sweatshirt slack jaws who hate all Muslims while professing to be Christians, and who fear any American who is 'not one of us'.

I wouldn't buy it even if it had the cure for the next world-ending virus.

How can she write when she does not read (at least newspapers)?

It's a shame that she will be getting that amount of money for a life story that is truly unremarkable and of no importance. She used her family to further her agenda. It was always "all about Sarah".
There are so many other Americans that have wonderful and ethical stories to tell. She has neither.

First thought...This is insurance for her future ($) as she is likely to lose her job come next election. Too bad the average citizen can't benifit the same way...their stories may even be more interesting.

Sure to be the basis for her 2012 presidential campaign run.

What in God's name else does she have to say?

Mrs Palin,

Please please please, don't use a ghostwriter. Put that journalism degree to good use, and write it yourself. We want to see your words. Don't bother dressing it up with some elitist editor, he/she will just dilute your message. Don't let the Republican party get their paws in it, also.

I wonder what color crayon she'll use.

It's probably going to be a picture book...

Is it a coloring book?

I can't wait to it read.... I am going to save up money now so I can purchase it in the future. I am hearing that palin will write it herself......

Ugh. To think that people will pay perfectly good money to read what this dim bulb has to say.

The book should be titled "Also". You have to admit that sounds clever! Good for her to write a book, but I won't be buying it.

She is comimg out with a new coloring book just as Bush was planning to bring his new book out.."THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GEORGE BUSH" complete with crayons...They both should sell about 10 copies each.

Seeing the words "Palin inks book deal" makes me laugh very loudly...She by far is one of the biggest jokes to come out of the Republican Party. The Republican party is becoming irrelivant and a laughing stock.

I'm sure it will be a terrific comic book.....she's so funny !!!!

"It will be nice to put my journalism degree.
