I thank God i aint american, ur squablez are so petty. Everyones got tha right to make a living, even stupid sarah!!

This paperback will be an expensive toilet paper. Worth the nine bucks to have each page wiped and filled with what it deserves.

This paperback will be an expensive toilet paper. Worth the nine bucks to have each page wipe and filled with what it deserves.

She'll need that pay for her legal fees.

Already she shows what brains she has in bringing in money instead of scattering it about to where it does nothing for nobody except the welfar people and illegals.

Good for Sarah! I hope she makes 5 million!

I plan to buy several for Christmas gifts for my liberal friends. LOL!

What a sad state of affairs our country has become when mediocrity is celebrated, supported and even encouraged by such a large segment of society. That this woman’s books will sell because this segment likes her because "she just like one of us".

It is no wonder the children of other countries are outperforming ours and excelling in education. Where this segment believes that obtaining an advanced degree is considered elitist. When colleges aren't looked at as centers of and for learning in order to better ones life and community but something to avoid because they "indoctrinate" the children with that horrible thing called educated free thinking.

The dumbing down of America has obviously succeeded with at least one significant segment of the American populace.

You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl.

Palin has risen to the level of her incompetence. Shes a mouthpiece for a small majority.

That amount is not really that much. Will she sell all the books, or will she have to return part of the advance?

the stooge list grows: wall street, banking, big three auto, book publishers...

In Idiot America, it doesn't have to be logical; it doesn't have to be true.
Heck, it doesn't even have to be intelligible. It just needs to sell.

Why are you liberals scared to death of Sarah Palin? It is pretty obvious that you are afraid of a strong conservative woman although you preach diversity and inclusion and deny it yourselves. In most of the sarcastic comments on this subject you could replace the name Palin with the name Obama and be a lot more accurate in you assessment. If McCain had actually been a conservative he and Sarah would be in office today. True conservatives will not vote for a Republican that expouses the global warming myth and is in favor of immigration reform. There was not a dimes worth of difference between McCain and Obama, so Republicans likely stayed home and let the Dems have the office for a short while. That was a big mistake, but at least the problems created in the last few months were created by the Dems. When the Republican party finally runs a true conservative, whether it is Sarah or not, the Liberals will be sent back into the black hole of irrelevance for the next few generations. Is that why she scares the crap out of you "Progressives"?

maybe she can hook up with bush at 1.95 special at burger king

This woman spent 6 YEARS IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE to get a degree in "communications". In other words, she was qualified to run for Miss American and nothing more. Please, if you're gonna pick a candidate pick someone that is not so laughable.

Gotta love books that a group buys tons of on pallets and lets them get dusty in some warehouse. (then they give it out for free) Money money money. GOP = Greed.

Who's laughing now all the way to the bank....HA!

It would be just as appropriate for Sarah Palin to win a Pulitzer Prize for her published book as for Obama to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his dreams.
At least one can hold Palin's book in his hands.

Sarah Palin is a nightmare to liberal elitists (many who have left their rancorous posts on here)

Meanwhile their Democrat party can't even agree on a healthcare bill.

Obozo and his progressive gang are spending us into oblivion, leaving our troops in harms way without reinforcements and making our Country weaker on all fronts. 2010 and 2012 cannot come soon enough. Liberalism will die in the months to come for sure!

I hope not one book is sold. Don't be stupid people and pay good money for this garbage. She didn't even write it.

Palin's Book, ***Going Rogue: An American Life***

***Rogue*** Means = a dishonest, knavish person; scoundrel.

Thank God Palin in not the V.P.

We don't need ROGUES as V.P.

Palin is realy a Rogue.

I think it's interesting that some people accuse President Obama of being part of a culture of celebrity. At least he's the President of the USA. Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is the ultimate celebrity; she's famous for just being famous.

can you imagine her book on tape? hearing all that whiny "blah blah blah Thanks but no thanks'

like running your nails on chalkboard.

How amusing to read the GOPers fear-mongering and lies........ "socialism!" Or "communism!" Don't you people get tired of living in FEAR?

What a waste of money.

She only got paid $1.25 million from her book. HA! HA! HA! HA!

I guess when majority of the right-wing websites are offering the book for FREE, it sure makes sense now. Palin is going to need every penny if she's going against folks like Newt Gingrich and others in the GOP. She's setting herself up for MORE legal battles. Her attorneys will be saying Cha-CHING!!

Thankfully, none of that money is coming out of my pocket.

You don't need brains to lead the Republican Party or what you need is a cute face and being loud mouthed trashing others!! and bingo you become the face of the pathetic GOP!!

A fair amount for a terrific leader.

How much did O'man get for his books? His next: "My Personal Recipes for Military Waffles"

Is her 'spiritual" advisor still around? You know the one who casts out demons hahahahha this woman is soooo funny. A JOKE

Oh yeah, She loved Alaska so much, that she left it all for the money!
Typical republican.

Another one of those mean-spirited Republicans getting rich off the people who like all their hatred spewing verbage. It is amazing what people see in her - other than she is an attractive woman. She quits things - spouts distortions - and gets richer than ever. Amazing.

Did I really just read "Sarah Palin/Liz Cheney 2012"

wow.

and you jerks fear the word "socialism?"

I didn't realize that Palins version of Dr. Suess's "Green Eggs and Ham" would be such a big hit with the 20% halfwit knuckle draggers the GOP has left in this country! That alone should tell you something!

I may not have anything to say but gosh darn it, i'm good enough, i'm smart enough and people like me. So let me continue to blow my mouth off because the media loves it because the idiotic Americans love it!

Wow.... Caribou Barbie could raise $100 million, she's still INCOMPETENT, CLUELESS and has NO comprehension of the English language. She's going to NEED every penny to feed her family and to keep her from speaking to MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA.
Shed can hide but she can't RUN from MAINSTREAM AMERICA, and we're waiting, patiently for another opportunity to spank her behind.

Her book is already being dished out for "FREE" on some right wing websites. So clearly, the only folks buying her coloring book and NOT truly buying her book because they are getting it for FREE! LOL.

Anyone with a BRAIN knows she did NOT write her book, someone else did. A "Ghost Writer". Sarah Palin IS the Ghost Writer because she's NEVER FINISHED anything she's ever started.

Her book should have been titled "HOW TO BE A QUITTING ROGUE".

Now who is she laughing at all the way to the bank?

The Harry Potter books sell well as a fantasy, so will this book sell as a POLITICAL FANTASY.

The publisher does not care about its accuracy, they have the drooling Palin-ophiles ready to lay down their hard earned cash for this drivel. Look for a meteoric rise for one week to the top of the charts...then the reviews will come out.
I wonder if it will be an Oprah 'recommended' book? Maybe Palin still has some of the $250,000 worth of clothes from the election for her book tour...."America First!!" ...sure, Sarah, sure.........

Cannot believe some here have used the words "courage" and "authenticity" in the same sentence as Silly Sarah's name - unbelievable!

WOW, people will pay money for ANYTHING.

The reason she is still relevant is because CNN has some article on her or her family EVERY week. None of the other news networks ever report on her anymore. CNN .,.get over her and lets move on !

Of course that was why she quit the governorship. Once a nobody but McCain gave her a taste of celebrity status and million dollars is her currency after that. Compared with governor earning 100,000 or so is just small change to her! She is no different from other politicians who make millions out of their celebrity. That's why the Ex-President's and other politicians ' allowance for life is such a big burden to the country that those allowances should be cut to fund something more worthwhile like a public otpion so Americans can live a better and more just life. The haves keep on having more while the havenots keep slaving for something as humane as affordable health care is denied for hundred of years.

So the "i'll quit my job, take the money and run" sure is making a buck for herself. Are you sure she's Presidential potential? wouldn't she just use her political career to gain more endorsements and $$?

Way to go Palin, it will undoubtedly be better than that dribble that came out of Obama's two memoirs. That moron doesn't even know how to write. He is nothing but a manchild.

Living proof that if God does not open a door for you, like say being the Vice President, He has populated America with enough morons that will buy a pop-up picture book and you can PAY to have a door opened.

When is this LOSER PALIN going to get a LIFE and not at our expense?

But she did it all for the people of Alaska...

obambi supporters are terrorist supporters

what a waste of money.

The ultimate irony is that so many fools are going to go out of their way to buy a book written by a woman who is, at best, semi-literate. I wonder how much of this cash will go to her ghost writer?

Why is she still in the news? It's people like her ,Republicans and Fox Crap show that has distroyed this country.

hahahahaha the liberals made her so much money!!!!

She can thank MSNBC, Saturday night live and CNN for that fat paycheck.

The funny thing is is that she was just a normal every day American until the liberal Elites got all pissy and started to slam her. Then they made her a huge celebrity with a cult following

Wow.. Socialism sucks... Palin Rules... hahaha... morons..

Oh PS. Fox News routinely recieves 60% of the entire prime time viewership of Cable news networks... HAHAHA Loser LIBS!!! WAAAAAA!!! cry me a freakin river!

Typical brain-dead Repo post. Who cares if she makes money on her tiny novella? By all means, buy the thing. Would pictures help?

Can't wait to read her book! She's no dummy . . . keep making all these libs so angry, Sarah. They just can't get over you. It's fun to watch!!

She is only as significant as one makes of her...that’s why she is a former, an ex..she is the eponymy of insignificance...notice I don’t mention her name.

I am not a liberal. I am a consvative that thinks Sarah Palin is the worst thing to happen to the Republican Party since Richard Nixon. Because of Sarah Palin and people like her, moderate Republicans are leaving the party by the bus load. While this may give those remaining Republicans smug satisfaction that they've purged all the non-believers, it also makes the power and the membership of the party so small that it can no longer win elections. It has just become a bunch of noisy losers with no power and no relevance to current politics. Sarah Palin is not giving liberals "fits" as some of the fools on this site hope. Sarah Palin is the best gift to the left the Republican Party could give.

I'm glad she is able to make some money of her experiences during the last few years. If the current administration had there way they would take the money from her and give it to someone that hasn't put any effort to do anything but stand there with there hands out. As for the people that say they wouldn't pay anything for her book, they need to bury there money in there yard and give it to there kids so they can pay off the deficit that the current government is running up. Don't put it in a bank and you know why you can't.

Going Rogue my grandmother's silver blue hair; the woman is the very soul of the status quo. Back to the good old days when Atilla The Hun was considered too liberal.

Hey, leave Sara alone. She is smart enough to know there are millions of dumb Americans who would love to read her A B C and billy goat book. At least she gets (no earned) 1.5 mil. small change but much more than her ignorant followers. That book is not worth the weight in paper for me to use it as a door stop.

I wish she would have gotten more than that. After what she had to endure from bigmout fanatical democrats, I was glad she got out of the fray. Well, the obamacrats got their president and now, even though they won't admit it, they probably wish someone else from their party had been elected. Oblabmamamama has proven to be the most inept person to sit in the WH since the peanut farmer from GA. Go Sarah!

I'm no fan of her politics, but she is more of a businessperson of anyone out here complaining. She just made herself over a million bucks and you didn't. Republican or Democrat...she just did what every single one of you would have done if you could have...made herself financially set for life. Instead of complaining about Sarah Palin...figure out how she became Mayor..then Governor...then VP candidate. It doesn't matter that she failed...at least she tried...and you didn't.

She pals around with communists

Hey, this flim-flam President has a book out there, as does the incredibly ignorant Speaker of the House! So, just goes to show that people will buy anything!

I would not pay this woman ten cents to shine shoes. She's about as dumb as they come. And I was a fan of John McCain until he unleashed this idiot.

I'm very impressed with this women. I was intrigued when she was nominated but her ability to take the amount of insults being flung her way by nimrod liberals and still manage to stay positive goes to show the fundemental difference between conservatives and liberals. Liberals are the most hate-filled, arrogant, ego-driven and racist group in the United States. The most disturbing aspect of liberals is that they actually believe they are compassionate while they will ruthlessly attack this women with personal insults. At least Klan members know that they are part of a hate group.

She isn't very bright. She was a terrible VP Candidate. She can barely speak English. And yet, she gets millions. The best thing that could happen would be that the book sales are so bad, Harper Collins takes a financial beating. Oh, and News Flash. She isn't Rogue. There is nothing Rogue about being a typical ultra conservative.

That's a lot of money for a coloring book!

So we know what the price was of quitting her job as governor.

Chicken feed compared to the Clintons etc.!!

$4,200 for Yankees tickets in June? Mine was 12 bucks. Good thing she never became VP. She's not only simple, she's a sucker.

Now we can sit back and wait for her bony butt to be hauled into court for not paying income taxes on her book proceeds.

BTW, is there any word on who will READ it to her?

Obama is shoving his dictatorship down our throats in what is the biggest criminal act in American history.

The enconomy is bleeding jobs by the millions.

The Obama socialists are creating hit lists of American citizens.

All the while CNN and it's loyal band of sheeple only care about Sara Palin and her wardrobe.

Makes me ill...As my dad always use to say, "The world is not free of injustice."

Unbelievable! I guess it just proves that you don't need any brains at all to make a million dollars, just be at the right place at the right time. It doesn't matter if you're dumber than a bucket full of spit or can't string words together to form a real sentence. God help us!

The book is "ONE LONG RUN ON SENTENCE".

Maybe she will take this $1.25M and reimburse Alaska for all of the taxpayer money she drained for her ethics defenses. I'm willing to bet that she doesn't though. So much for the "fiscally conservative" party.

I'm interested in knowing how many times the word "and " is used in the book?

Good for her, but why is this political news??? Didn't she resign as governor??? Move on CNN

Dumb: Sarah Palin Dumber: Anyone who votes for her or buys her book.

Good for her!! I'm happy for her, she's the greatest. I'll be buying her book first day it is out.

If she was really trying to do something "mavricky" she would have done the book for free but hey she decided to abandon Alaskans and get her's while she can.

Palin must think the Alaskans were a cheap date.

Going after the big bucks is the American way. I wish her luck in her quest for fortune and fame and hope she never ever steps on to the political stage again. Palin personifies the dumbing down of America, and is an embarrassment to all women.

Only in America. LOL

I don't like Palin but I am so much against the left-wing liberals who pushed Obama against Hillary that I may buy her book (as inept as it may be). I will never buy an Obama book to read his lamentable cry on identity.

She gets 1.25 mil but is priceless for the Democratic Party.

First she helps the Dems in 2008 by her utter stupidity.

Now, the Twitter Twit and all the neo-con, "christian" rednecks will split the republican party into tasty small bites that they will then consume.

She will rise to represent the same neo-con, "christian" rednecks and they will carry her to a WH bid, because no one will go against the lush. Of course, everyone but the lunatic right fringe realize that she is nothing more than a VP loser and a Governor quitter, but the base will not care, as they will have achieved "party purity" all 20% of them. An easy win for the Dems in 2012 and beyond.

So, it is all good, and enjoy that 1.25 mil Saint Sarah of the Silly, you earned it along with the 150K "everyday woman's" wardrobe(STILL waiting on those donation receipts,wink, or is that just a twitch every time you lie?).

At least you will look nice at the book signings at Wal-Mart and you won't have to shop there!

1.25 million not very much but too much for her scribble,,,hey she may be like george and finally learned to color inside the lines ha ha

No thanks, but I will read the reviews.

I don't want one cent of my money in Palin's pockets.

Gee, Pete, get a grip. Sarah is just proving what P.T. Barnum said, "a sucker is born every minute."

Rogue is putting America first – you betcha! *wink wink*

I hope HC never makes back the advance they gave this idiot for a book not worth reading.

Will smart people read it?

If conservatives what her to lead them, that is great. However, she is not going to lead them to the White House. Just because conservatives like people who call liberals names doesn't mean she is a leader.

That's 1.24 million more than uhbumba made on his book.

She will have a place at the table again very soon. I guess Dave Letterman still thinks that talking up sex on tv is funny as hell to he got hurt. We are in for an interesting 2010. Bring on the real discussions of America in the near future.

Isn't it nice that a person who has done so little for so long with so littlle intellectual effort and so little real talent can make so much money. Thats a real Republican.

And why did she quit her job as governor?

MONEY!

hahahahaha the liberals made her so much money!!!!

She can thank MSNBC, Saturday night live and CNN for that fat paycheck.

The funny thing is is that she was just a normal every day American until the liberal Elites got all pissy and started to slam her. Then they made her a huge celebrity with a cult following

Wow.. Socialism sucks... Palin Rules... hahaha... morons..

Oh PS. Fox News routinely recieves 60% of the entire prime time viewership of Cable news networks... HAHAHA Loser LIBS!!! WAAAAAA!!! cry me a freakin river!

Only in America can someone get rich from tell all book about running for vice president. I don't blame Sarah Palin but all the dumb people that would buy the book.
I would rather donate the money to charity than buy her book.
If all of you people that support her want to do something good donate to homeless shelter instead of buying her book since it was Republican president that got so many people living on the streets.
She will be laughing all the way to the bank.

If thats how much it takes for her to go away, I'll gladly pay it!

Palin will not get the chance to run against Obama in 2012.........first she has to run against the canidates of her own party to get nominated to run as President in her Party........and they will be the ones that will burn this woman to a crisp........they will be the ones that will turn her upside down and fry her like toast....Romney, Hackabee, and the rest aren't going to sit on the side lines and let this woman get away with anything......they will be saying the same things about this woman that everyone on this blog has been saying about her........if she thinks the Media has been tough on her, she ain't seen nothing yet till her own Party of Repbulicans run against her..........

There is a sucker born every minute, and they are standing in line to read her book.

Cannot WAIT for the the comedy of a book tour coming up. This will be feeding all the late night satires for months.

You people who are pretending this is a worthy 'literary' piece of work are truly making yourselves look ridiculous.

I will not pay a dime for a book that was written on her behalf.

Yes, everyone, you're looking at the sole reason the Republicans lost the last election while simultaneously viewing the person to be responsible for their downfall in the 2012 election. Thanks for the split vote to come, Sarah! You betcha!

I acctually can't top that. The genuine article and in the world of selfishness and living in a made up world always wanting more, the liberals just can't tolerate authenticity.

Now that is so Mavericky. Get a VP nomination just for your looks (I don't get it myself), travel around the 48 states making mean-spirited comments, wink on national TV a few times, help destroy your party, quit my job, & then dictate a book. This is how you make 1.25 million...sometimes life is just not fair!!!

How do you people feel about Failing Palin now? She was going to champion causes for the Joe 6 pack, hockey Moms, and everday Pro-Americans. At the first aroma of some cash in her face she dumped her beloved Alaska. How does that make you feel die heart supporters? You meant absolutely nothing to her. You were given a 6 for a 9. LOL!!!!

One and done? Palin was 1/2 and done, and that was the "executive experience" she was so proud of.

Hillary got 8 million for a book. So what. Liberals thought she savvy. Why does CNN drive itself into the ground hating Palin is beyond me. Why don't they get serious about being a news organization and stop being a talking points for the Democratic Party. Talk about Fox news – at least THE PEOPLE make them #1 with news whereas CNN (dwarfed in the ratings) waste its time on tabloid material. Are you going to wait until you go belly up before you return to being a news organization.

I cannot figure out what Democrats wanted her to do...they yelled when she was in politics, they yell when she leaves politics. Perhaps you guys are just angry hateful people.

It's a pop-up book, right? One that even George W can read?

Well she can "lol" all the way to the bank, it just makes it more obvious that we made the right choice last November.

So what, non-news. Leave her alone, she is a private citizen now. How about an article about how CNN has dropped to last place in the prime time cable news ratings war? That would be real news.
P.S. What did the Prez get paid for the book full of lies that he had ghost written?

What a huge waste of money.

What undeserved hatred you people have for Sarah Palin.
You liberals are always preaching tolerance. Tolerance, that is, unless it's a successful conservative woman. Then, it's nothing but straight up hatred. Find a mirror if you want to also find the hypocrite.

2012--Sarah Palin/Liz Cheney

Obama is ONE and DONE......

Down with socialism........

So, her son in law to be was right! when he said she quit for money! I didn't believe the lad but now I do. Hey folks any story from Cnn-Peter Hamby, and Alexander mooney are GOP and so called conservatives sympathizers. What ever you comment is twisted and ends up at Becks and Hannitys desks. The two guys are playing gotcha games with our minds!!!

Well at least Todd got to quit working. The citizens of Alaska have lost big time.

Well some companies have so much money they scamed from the public they don't know what to do with it.

The problem is NOT the book, it is that she quit her post, basically went AWOL, with a month's notice, and broke her promise to serve her country and her state.

We were told she was asking 11million for her book. Guess some in the media that reported that were " making things up"

What, exactly, has she accomplished that merits a memoir?

Umm, Palin writes a book but can't name a magazine or newspaper she reads. The two just don't add up, writer but not a reader.

It's a win-win for the right wingers. The wacko neocons had to figure out a way to give their golden girl some dough (to help her run for office again). So they provided some stooge writer to help her write this book and then bought thousands of copies. So It's all legal and legit. In the old days they would sell their favorite fascist (Reagan) some valuable property for cheap and then have him sell it soon after to another wacko for a nice big profit. Reminds me of W. Bush getting his failing oil companies bought out by his rich friends who eventally benefited from his policies once he becamse President. What a country!

Hooray for Sarah.............We can't wait for her book to come out.

This publisher was HAD, How long will it take a stupid public to find out that their money was wasted and instead of buying the book for themselves. {if they are brain dead enough to want to read it} they will just pass one copy around. It will be in the 99cent store in less than a few months.Seriously, this woman has made herself well know enough in the last year that there can't be that much to learn. Not only that, but everyone knows she didn't write it anyway.Please folks, the libraries are full of exciting, informational books that are free. Give them a chance and you might learn something.Do yourself a favor.

Wow, I wish I could quit my job after working 2.5 years, and get over a millions for it. I'd take 250k to write about all the evil doings in environmental testing labs. That would be news.

Sarah Palin's book on the other hand, newsworthy?
What will the title be?

"How I sunk the GOP"
"Me and Geraldine"
"Take this elected position and shove it"

Sarah, you write it, and plenty of wing-nut dimwits will buy and read your drivel. Citizens of Alaska, you must be proud to be free of this embarrassing woman. Please run, Sarah on a third party Rogue/ Wing-Nut ticket and split the vote with the Repugs.

Im a definatley buying her book. I think she is an amazing woman, and a person that all politicians should follow. She is a very sincere person, she has no law degree, and she understands the normal average day Americans. This is something Palin understands and what Obama does not. Palin loves the constitution that defines our country unlike our American bashing president who wants to destroy this same document.

I thought that Sara Palin had a account legal set up for her to pay for her legal bills; may I ask what happened to those funds. She had to borrow money with a legal fund receiving donations for that purpose;. Sara Palin followers as usual can not see but thru rose colored glasses, have short memories and can never research.

One more thing........ it is amazing that she did not finish her first term as governor, because the "call of money" was more important than the people of the state of Alaska who voted for her. Any one up in Alaska wised up yet? The woman was 'playing you'!

I think i will read the other book

$1.25 Million to put her name on a book that someone else wrote. Not a bad day's pay. And the only reason the public knows the amount of the retainer is that she was in office at the time. Just guessing here but she probably left office with the next book deal in mind. With the retainer for that book nobody's business. Does she deserve that much? Who knows. Does a baseball player deserve $100 Million to throw a ball, catch a ball and hit a ball?? My concern is with some people painting her as some political maverick. What has she done? During and after the election a point was made regarding President Obama's lack of legislative experience. What groundbreaking ideas or policies did she introduce? Regularly there are meetings of the governors of these United States. Before being asked to be the Vice Presidential candidate who, outside of Alaska, knew of Governor Palin? If she was truly a political maverick she would have made some kind of splash via that national exposure. She is what those on the right say the President is. A face with no ideas to call her own.

Why is she still relevant?

The more you guys cry about her the more she will lol to the bank

Now we know why she quit her governor's post and left the state in a lurch... to earn millions as a scribbler. Oh yeah, it wouldn't be fair to her constituency if she stuck it out.

she deserves all that money for all the mean nasty media scrutiny....which is ready to do all over again if it will make her even more money.

what a pig!

Sarah dear is an embarrassment to the great state of Alaska, and to the entire country. Thank goodness she was an import into Alaska so we don't have to completely claim her Too bad she didn't show her true colors before she was voted in as Governor. What a DITZ!

Former Governor Palin's salary, $150,00. Former Governor Palin's first book deal, $1,250,000. Sounds like as good a reason as any to quit your job and commitment to the people of Alaska to me.

All of you get over it. In the same shoes...Most of you would also write a book. If you want to criticize this lady, do it on the merit. Based on the letter of the law, what did she do wron? NOTHING. So get over it and stop your whining.

She is just plain annoying and out for herself, not for her state or her country. It is very obvious, $1.25 mil over being Governor of her so called beloved state. What a hypocrite!

Given that she has the intelligence of a Squirrel nice payday for a coloring book……..anyone that gives her a dime deserves to be taken

WAAAH!!!

Who cares about the important issues facing the country. I want to spend more time hatemongering against someone that doesn't even hold public office. WAAAH

Glad my liberal news outlet wastes their time preaching to the choir.

WAAAH

What a joke, what does she have, or done to write about. I bet ya she will not write about teen pregnancies and teenagers practicing safe sex, no, no ,that is such a liberal idea

Great, for her. She deserves it.

So, was it a smart move to quit as Governor? I guess if you're greedy enough that you can't wait to cash in... then yes.

There has never been a publlic figure that has made me as nauseated as Sarah Palin. She is an absolute insult to real working women.She is dim beyond words!

Is this really a story??!!

Wonder if she will tithe to her church and give some to charities...sure hope so ...otherwise she will comfirm she is a hypocrite. But with the GOP , the rich get richer and the poor get poorer!

Another comment on the disgraceful values of this country.
A complete brainless nincompoop and the legion of idiots who would pay money for this junk

Talk about government waste. So is the truth out? (just not in so many words) Palin was in this for herself the entire time. No to help the country or her constituants – herself. Good for her and if she stays a writer and stops wasting our time with this silly politics thing...then good for us too.

So… just to be clear. As governor, Ms Palin received $1.25 million as a “retainer”. Then shortly thereafter, resigns, citing that she was quitting for the good of her family, and she could do more good for the USA while out of office. Pocketing $1.25 million with the expectation of more money to come was not a factor in her decision? Or perhaps she felt that the citizens of Alaska were not entitled to know that their governor’s outside income made their governors paycheck look like peanuts. Where does a politician’s loyalty lie? In the almighty dollar. Sara Palin should have had the class to at least finish her term. I’m sure she’ll look pretty on the cover. Who actually wrote the book?

Her words are not worth a single penny let alone a $1.25 million book retainer. This country has lost any rational sense of its priorities.

anyrthing sells in America, John Gotti' family, Jon/Kate+8, Octomom all got air time, no parameters nowadays

She's going to cash in big, probably take sone of Rush's business. A great opportunist! A true capitalist, classic fascist and one heck of a quitter!

She should share some of her profits with Johnny McCain!!

$1.25 MILLION? Well, the publisher will probably make that back with all the rightwing nuts who will buy her book. I'm just hoping that the ghost writer got well paid for THEIR gig!

I'd be happy if she would just take the money and go home and shut up, but we know that will never happen! She's got a taste for the limelight now, and will profit from it as long as she is able. Gee, whiz, Sarah, just think, you'll be making money from your failure as governor and for your failed bid for VP, just like former President Bush is making money as a motivational speaker!

I guess she showed the press that when you belittle someone and give her all the attention. you make her a star. She got even with press and now is laughing all the way to the bank. I don't think the press was counting on this. Go get her CNN make her even more popular.
You guys never learn.

Best way to keepf rom getting bitten by a snake is stay away and hope she will slither away, she just grows on people like the plauge.

Oprah to Palin: "Can I call you Sarah?"

Wow........ that's a nice amount. Am I the only one to notice that "Going Rogue..." was a Saturday Night Live comedy routine??? She couldn't come up with her own unique title?

publishers are desparate

Two questions:
Who actually wrote the book? If it was indeed Palin then I'm assuming it's a coloring book or a pop-up book because she doesn't know enough words to to allow for more than that.
Secondly, who cares enough to read it? She has the brain of a squirrel. What could she possibly have to say that an adult cares to hear?

You GO SARAH!!!

Sorry, Sarah, most of the allegations were actually true. At least you are finally capitolizing on all the hard fought publicity you went after. I mean this is what your final goal was, right? You really never thought you would be in the white house did you? Your public spotlight tours have always been about making easy money. Hopefully now we can put you to rest and not see you around or in the news again until you're ready to write your next book titled, An American Scam, How I Pulled One Over On The American People and Almost Believed It Myself.

That's all!?!?! I thought she was getting 7 mil or something. Oh, the brutal irony of hype. When will her disillusioned followers wake from their dementia?

There are further revelations about gifts Palin received in an article in the Anchorage Daily News. What a grifter!

What a waste of money. The world is a very strange place when a woman who has been unable to finish anything she started, except the book, that someone else wrote is paid that amount of money. Stranger still, is the people who will purchase it. Very, very sad.

Will a Sarah Palin book sell? Probably! Will the book be a literary masterpiece? HAH! Only if she can find an excellent ghost writer. She will have to limit the "You betcha" exclamtions to no more than one per paragraph. From a person whose only claim to fame was to be picked to bolster the anti-abortion neo-cons towards the conclusion of a lackluster presidential campaign and whose entire political future has been based on allegorircal inanity, Sarah Palin couldn't tell the difference between an allegory and a comparison if they were both orthodontially to her buttocks. She, like the prior President caannot speak english except in colloquilisms, While that level of command of the english language might be sufficient to qualify her as being not quite as smart as a fifth grader, and might appeal to many of those who have a mentality of an equal level, anyone of intellect can readily see that Sarah, like Dubya, "ain't hardly good nuf fer prime time, ya betcha."

She is on her way to being as RICH as Kerry, Kennedy, Obama, Biden, Reid, Pelosi, Schumer, and Frank. Thankfully this will help with her legal fees she incurred while defending frivolus charges.

Just goes to show, there are some people who like to throw their money away.
There a plenty of fiction books out there that are worth buying, and they make good read.
I am surprised this moron could put more than two words together in a sentence.

She deserves ever penny of it for all the flack. She actually has a better chin than Obama who can't take any constructive criticism without constantly whining and complaining.

This should come as a surprise to NO ONE. It should also come as no surprise, now, why she quit the governor's post, so she could make $1.25 million. It was always about the money and to say it was anything else would be disingenuous. Of course her base is so stupid, they'd probably believe it.

That's a lot of cheese for a coloring book.

I won't be buying the book.

Now we know why she resigned so quickly as a governor. She didn't want her millions gained from the book to be under scrutiny. My hope is that the publisher is left with a lot of copies and that it flops. What could she offer the public. Views of Russia from her deck?

Should help her buying a new wardrobe. Not from my $$$ though.

Will it be a picture book?

Christ, the woman even whines in financial documents...?

And she complained about Obama and his being an "elitists?"

Good for her. Cashing in is an American tradition.
It's just too bad she had to leave office because she was hounded by partisan enemies. Having to take a home loan to defend yourself is awful but fortunately, to the chagrin of Palin haters, she will come out of this just fine.
Me thinks the haters will shout that her book will not sell but, again, the haters will be disappointed.

What a complete waste of money.

Light reading. Hope she got a good deal on her home loan. Those false allegations'll get ya every time.

Who cares what she got for the Book, I for one will not buy it or read it even if it was given to me.....I would save it and use it to burn in my fireplace this winter on a cold winter day........

What in the world would Palin have to say that she hasn't already said in the past. . . I can see Russia from my back door, I can see Russia from my back doorI, can see Russia from my back door, can see Russia from my back door. Nothing new. I only hope the Publishing Company loses money on their deal!!!!!!

Not a bad payday for someone that was portrayed as a "dummy".

stepping down from the job the great people of Alaska elected her to do so she could cash in big time.

Sarah Palin: the Ultimate Sell Out.

It shows that one can be dumb as a box of rocks and still be able to bring in the big bucks.

I ain't mad at her. If she can find this many suckers, lick them.

God how i love this country! Even a moron can be a millionaire. Every redneck racist republican will line up to buy this piece of crap. I wonder who really wrote it. Going rogue indeed. How about just going away!

No surprise. That's all she about: publicity and money. She's a total waste of airtime.

Good for her!

I cant wait to read her memoir! She deserves that and more.

Thats right! most americans love and want to read what she has to say. she is what america is all about, she is self made through hard work and ambition. she is a lesson to all liberals, that you dont need washington for handouts. thats why liberals hate her. you keep doin what your doin Sarah. Dont listen to the hate from these people. they are mad because you are living proof that the liberal ideas and principles are bogus.

Maybe Palin will use the money on a shopping spree? 4,250 dollars on tickets? I can think of quite a few better ways to spend 4,000 dollars for my state then Yankees tickets...

Good for her!!!!!

Next year this time she'll be broke......If she runs through her money the way she did the RNC's she'll be in the streets with a tin cup.....

She will be our next and greatest president. After Palin finishes her 2 terms, all future presidents and vice-presidents will all be conservative white women. Obama will be the last man to become America's president and is destined to be a 1 term failure.

Why anyone would pay her ANY amount of money to "write" a book, is beyond me. I'm sure she just had someone else write it and stamped her name on it. We all know that she doesn't read.

It is a shame that the publishing industry is wasting their money. No one's personal life story could be LESS important to the country these days.

Give it a rest Sarah. Stop promoting yourself as a victim.

Being deeply uninformed and not the least bit curious seems to pay big these days. Just hollar anti-goverment pro-Christian rhetoric and you are an instant winner to the Conservative cause.

I hope Sarah Palin uses this money to defeat Obama in 2012! That guy is a dithering coward!! Sarah has true courage!!

don't care don't care. Stop reporting on this person.

Please just stop giving her any time unless it is to say she is dead.

Going Rouge? Sarah Palin is the best reality show I've ever seen. I've been watching since her debut episode with John McCain.

I wonder how much she hates Katie Couric?

Well she got what she was after ChaCHING$$$$$$
Now do all of us a favor and Go Away!

now she's a rich dummy.

Go Sarah!! Go Sarah!!

The woman can't string two coherent words together, but Rupert Murdoch is paying her $1.25 million to write a book? More proof that HarperCollins book advances are often little more than a political slush fund for wingnuts.

$1.25 million for dribble. What happened to our culture?

pretty good for a quitter.

All that money for a 2 year governor that quit and mayor of a tiny village? I hope she is nominated again to lead the neo-Confederates.

I will buy one as soon as they are in my area. Good work Sarah

$1.25m be for real. Palin can't even read. Do I need to remind the people of the Katie Couric interview?

She is a joke...and the folks that purchase her book is too

How can she possibly know enough words to justify 1.25K? Who is going to buy this book? What on earth do they plan on charging for it? Sorry, my mind's spinning at the thought of her writing.

Good for her! Palin has more followers in Rhode Island than CNN has viewers in the US!

They'll make that money back because there are people out there that are looking for a good coloring book... I mean there are people who are hoping for an intelligent look at things and won't find it here. She hasn't inspired any hope that there will be intelligence here.

Well, it looks like Sara's book is already a BARGAIN on Amazon!! The price has now been lowered to $9.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA That tells me the "pot of gold" has already arrived at the "END OF THE RAINBOW"!!!

She deserves more than millions...she deserves billions..no, wait, we should all take out second and thrid mortgages on our home soshe can be history's first TRILLIONARE!

That's right Palin, take the money and run. Did you take Joe the Non Plumber with you. You really fooled all of your supporters. We thought you cared about us and all you care about is money. McCain should have left you in Alaska where you belong. You got a taste of the lower 48 and it went to your head. You just used everyone didn't you.

I believe the ethics violations were found to be true...lol

A loan to fight legal fees?????? She is building a chateau on her property. Poor bankrupt Sarah. What about an investigation into the Alaska Trust Fund? Her legal defense fund? Contributors to the Trust Fund were supposed to be listed in August! Will her book be factual?
And there are actually people out there who will buy it!

I know all you loving, tollerant, Liberals are going to have nothing but nice things to say about Governor Palin and her book, but she'll have the last laugh becaus her book will be a runaway best-seller and on the NYT Best-Seller list for many, many weeks.

Nov. 2010 can't come fast enough.

I'd quit my job for 1.2 million also...lol

THIS IS PURE SICKENING! the woman could not have written her own book and i can not imagine why anyone would spend a dime reading trash from her so called book.

Where else in the world but the US can a previously anonymous political nobody get paid a lot of money for flimsy opinions and mean-spirited views? At least she can now support the entire palin clan. "Strike while the iron's hot," they say. Hopefully, the real intellectuals rule and take a pass on this book and not contribute to her coffers. You betcha she's giggling all the way to the bank.

Well that's good news if she ever wins the presidency we no what it
yakes to get her ought of office.

I hope that's worth her soul!

You go, girl! Can't wait to read your book.

Sarah Palin – 2012

You have a lot of these combo Barnes and Noble and Starbucks all over the nation.

The day the Palin book comes out, thanks to the evil Democrats in America, there will be more foam coming from the book section than the Starbucks.

I guess the upside will be that the Moore double chin lib libs will have their heart rate ramped up greatly, these takers of our society could use a little more huffin and puffin than the usual they do when confronted with a staircase.

Good for you Sarah. Enjoy the fruits of your non labor and luck. Sometimes it pays to loose!

So Levi was right. Big Deal. If people want to waste their money on her book, more power to her. I'd rather see her write than run.

Gee, wish I could get that much! I think that would take care of my mortgage, my electric bill and worrying about buying groceries for my kids for the next couple of months! it probably also would cover any health care bills for the Average American as well! Goes to show, as long as you are a GOPer, you live high on the hog!

I probably read three or four books a month, but I guarantee Sarah's will not be one of them. She sounds so dumb when she speaks...can't imagine what (or how) she would write a book worth reading.

puke, not a penny from my paycheck!!!

Hmmm! I wonder what Alan Grayson would say about this? LOL!

"There is a sucker born every minute" and...
"A fool and their money are easily parted".

Anybody that spends a dime for Failin' Palin's book falls into either one of those two catagories. That is you're either a "sucker" or a "fool". However I prefer to think of them as "evangelical chumps"...

People will pay anything to see a freak show.

That's pretty good for a freak. Of course, having CNN and others giving it her free plugs, we expect no less in sales.

Sarah Rocks...........

The last I checked this still was America and people could still make money. Besides I'm sure obama made a lot money off of Audacity of Dopes and Dreaming of who really is my father.

Who cares??? Does that idiot even know what rogue means?

$1,249,999.95 too much! But then nothing's too good, or in this case, bad for Rupert...
Just sayin'!

Again, she quit her job as Governor because she was used to all the money she had when she was the vp candidate...

Anyone but Palin Forever!

Only in America.

Only in America can someone be on their way to being a millionaire by being the agitator...... Greed is an awful thing despite it's outward benifits...it always comes back to haunt you one way or another.

$4 THOUSAND dollars for Yankees tickets? Are you kidding me? So much for the great American pastime, now only available to the very rich or wannabees.
And only 1.25 million for her book deal? Hmmm, it was rumored at 7 million.

She can't buy IQ points. What a shame.

$1.25M for contributing what, one sentence, maybe two? Pretty spiffy deal, that.

Good for her! I hope she sells alot of books. I also hope that continues to give the liberals fits.

I still believe the book title is a typo!
"Going Rogue: An American Lie" is a far more accurate name for anything Palin would "write"

Why anyone would want to read anything from this illiterate politician is beyond me don't-cha-know...?

Now that Palin has published a book, no one can doubt her smarts. I would not be suprised if Palin wins a Pulitzer Prize for her book. An accomplished author such as Gov. Palin deserves nothing less. Now that she has shown everyone her high intelligence and policy acumen, in her book tour she can remind us of the charisma and folksy charm that made America fall in love with her. She is no longer limited to Alaska as the world is now her stage and the sky's the limit.

The $1.25 MM won' wash away the stench of failure and corruption from Sarah Palin; she will be forever known as the Quitter from Wasilla

What about the Millions of Dollars she embezzled from the Elections Fund.

She received most Bribes in Cash. She never reported the Gifts she received in Cash.

She has Millions of Dollars in Cash, which is unreported to IRS.

That's great for her! Now, maybe she can return some money to the National GOP Committee for all those "borrowed and loaned" clothes and jewelry she obtained on the campaign trail in the Summer and Fall of '08. I mean, after all, she does shop at consignment shops and really has no need for luxury designer outfits, according to Ms. Palin. Could she also please use some of her book money to secure complete anonymoity and limited public appearances by moving to another non-Continental US state, like Hawaii?

I wonder if the publisher will get his money back for her books of lies. She must of spent the money already that she has to go on the Oprah show to rake in some more cash.

May your gods bless your America cause its going to the dogs. Its amazing what people get paid for doing nothing spectacular or enlightening. This person has brought nothing to humanity, created no art, no music, no literature, saved any one's life (lives), done nothing of service (that was finished). Its a shame and a farce.

Well hey! That should keep her in crayons and pay off the ghost writer!

I wonder who paid for the three Palins to attend the game in New York, Palin or the taxpayers of Alaska?

There's no way she could have written the book herself, since English is her second language. Her first language is gibberish.

Who cares; I for one am sick of SP stories and hope and pray she never gets to the WH. I am sick of people that believe she has a poor than good chance. Remember, she has to receive more vote than her base and CNN why should we care what she is being paid; I know that she is not the biggest news that there is.

Wow, thought Pawlenty had replaced Palin as poster man/woman as CNN headlined him twice yesterday, but since he seemed to be quiet today they bring their Palin back.
We don't have a chance, bloggers.

The financial disclosure also shows that the former Republican vice presidential candidate took out a Wells Fargo home loan to pay for "legal fees to fight false allegations while governor."

Really? I thought the State of Alaska paid this bimbo for those "false" allegations.
Please put her under entertainment where she belongs.
SHE IS NOT A POLITICAL FIGURE ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only in America can a complete disaster like this woman is end up a millionaire.

I think a more appropriate title would be " Going Rogue: An American Laughing Stock . "

Who really wants to know what she has to say? She couldn't even name any newsmagazine, doesn't know what the Bush doctrine is, thinks you can see Russia from land in Alaska and so on... And HC pays her 1.25 million bucks? That indicates huge sales and also gives you an idea of the average IQ in the USA. What a blessing not to be a part of that backward country.
