From

(CNN) –A former top adviser and spokeswoman to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign is pushing back against comments reportedly made by Sarah Palin in her new book.

Nicolle Wallace tells CNN that Palin's account of an ill-fated interview with CBS's Katie Couric during the 2008 presidential campaign is not true.

In excerpts of her new book "Going Rogue: An American Life" that were obtained by other organizations, including the conservative Web site Drudge Report, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate discusses her interview with Couric.

"From the beginning, Nicolle [Wallace] pushed for Katie Couric and the CBS Evening News. The campaign's general strategy involved coming out with a network anchor, someone they felt had treated John well on the trail thus far," writes Palin, according to excerpts obtained before Tuesday's release date for the highly-anticipated book. "My suggestion was that we be consistent with that strategy and start talking to outlets like FOX and the Wall Street Journal. I really didn't have a say in which press I was going to talk to, but for some reason Nicolle seemed compelled to get me on the Katie bandwagon."

The Drudge Report says it obtained a portion of the book in which Palin claims McCain campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace pushed for the now-famous Katie Couric interview because the CBS anchor needed a self-esteem "boost."

"'She just has such low self-esteem,' Nicolle said," continues Palin in the excerpt. "She added that Katie was going through a tough time, 'She just feels she can't trust anybody.' Nicolle had left her gig at CBS just a few months earlier to hook up with the McCain campaign."

Contacted by CNN, Wallace denied the gist and specifics of Palin's account of the Couric interview, which aired at the end of September 2008.

Palin and Wallace do agree that the Couric interview didn't go well.

"I knew it wasn't a good interview," Palin tells Oprah Winfrey, in excerpts of an interview that is scheduled to run Monday, one day before Palin's book is officially released.

In excerpts of the book, Palin also writes that she thought there was something peculiar about the way Wallace would talk about her days as White House communications director for President George W. Bush.

"I had to trust her experience, as she had dealt with national politics more than I had. But something always struck me as peculiar about the way she recalled her days in the White House, when she was speaking on behalf of President George W. Bush. She didn't have much to say that was positive about her former boss or the job in general. Whenever I wanted to give a shout-out to the White House's homeland security efforts after 9/11, we were told we couldn't do it. I didn't know if that was Nicolle's call," writes Palin, according to the excerpts.

Wallace said Palin's account is completely false.

"It's not even like it's slightly wrong. It's like I feel totally the opposite. I would never disparage the president. I adored him then and I adore him now."

Wallace seemed mystified by Palin's accounts, conceding that there were enough strategy miscalculations during the campaign that Palin "didn't have to make stuff up."

Ifind it interesting that ppl who claim to be sick of CNN reporting aboutSarah Palin...The Ice Princess...continue to post on every story about her. I for one enjoy reading As Wasilla Turns.It is very refrershing to read about someone that is more screwed up and undereducated than Iam.

I laugh when I read that Sarah Palin scares liberal, or drives liberals crazy, liberals love conservatives like Palin and Bachmann. During the presidential elections I heard from friends and relatives, who were on the fence in choosing McCain or Obama, it was Palin who drove them into Obama's camp. Keep her in the news give her all the headlines, as long as she is the face and brains for the conservatives and republicans, the party will continue to shrink down to a small regional party. More Sarah Palin please, this liberal loves her, and can't get enough of her, it's independent, well informed thinking Americans who are afraid of her.

I LOVE THE SMELL OF LIBERAL FEAR IN THE MORNING   November 14th, 2009 9:46 pm ET

Democrats are the self-proclaimed tolerant and big-tent party PROTECTING THE CITIZENS from the greedy and evil white men. According to libs, republicans care only for honky's. Those of us who are conservatives know the truth, which is everyone is welcomed no matter what your race, gender, religion, ect. Liberals know that in order to keep their control over the ignorant liberal masses, they cant allow a conservative woman to be successful. They know if they do, their party will be exposed as a fraud. Thats why the hatred towards Sarah Palin is so out of control. They are obsessed with every little rumor that comes out about her. They know if they dont destroy this woman, she will be our next president in 2012. It is never about debating issues with her. They have to keep it on a personal level, because they will be made to look a fool in the eyes of this country. This a woman, who has dared to go agaiinst what liberals think a woman should be. She is strong,smart,classy and indepentent thinker. Yes she is pro-life. Yes she is a traditional family woman, but that is unacceptable to libs. If the mainstream media spent a tenth of time on obama as they did Palin, Obama would not be prez. The hypocracy is so evident to us conservatives, but then again we are the independent thinkers. All the liberals are sheep waiting for their marching orders from their party bosses.

When will John McCain just go away. He is one of far to many old men that just need to retire.

Big John   November 14th, 2009 9:18 pm ET

I wonder how many more lies are in her book. It won't be long before the whole thing is debunked. I hope it has soft pages, I need a replacement for the Sears catalogue in the outhouse

Marian in Pensacola   November 14th, 2009 9:15 pm ET

Kathy, it wasn't just the young voters who put Obama in office. The moment many Baby Boomers heard Palin come onstage and call him just a "community organizer", and continue her snide sarcasm, we knew her energy wasn't "Commander-in-Chief " worthy. The cutesy is not cute anymore. Neither is the negativism.

arias   November 14th, 2009 9:15 pm ET

I love stories about Sarah Palin because I love watching the conservative lemmings foam at the mouth and broadcasting the stupidity of one of their own.

Most of you republicans are educated by AM radio and are stupid, you know that right? You betcha!

KJL   November 14th, 2009 9:14 pm ET

It's too late for her to try to weasel her way out of that embarrassing incident. She's a fool, and anyone with any common sense knows it, whether they're a Republican, Democrat, or Independant.

kd   November 14th, 2009 9:12 pm ET

and there go the uber-conservatives, claiming CNN is lefty. That's crazy, too. You people would claim a blank sheet of paper was liberal.

kd   November 14th, 2009 9:10 pm ET

Well, of course she's lying. She can't think, does no research, believes in crazy stuff, and can't even write her own book, relying on a 'ghost' writer. This may as well be an approved biography. It's a lie to even say she's the author.

I could dictate into a machine and let somebody else do all the heavy lifting but to call myself a writer or an author would be ludicrous.

Palin does represent what the Republican Party has become, which is meaningless and dumb. And mean. And angry. And dangerous. And (again) oh, so dumb.

MJ   November 14th, 2009 9:09 pm ET

Sarah Palin has over-extended her "15 minutes of fame" ad nauseum.
Unfortunately, she doesn't have the sense or grace to go away . Her political career is like her "Bridge to nowhere" – a dead end.
Hard-core, truly pathological narcissism in the opinions of many.

Let's forget her and move on to important issues in the world and in our country.

Heather in Seattle   November 14th, 2009 9:07 pm ET

John McCain you need to denounce this woman now!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is taking our Party down single handed and no one will stand up to this silly woman who thinks she is presidential material.

JM you will gain your status back if you admit what all has suspected you picked her because of her looks to gain the women votes. Do the world a favor and denounce this fool now!

Can someone tell Palin and Lynn V. this is not a fairy tale and they are not in HighSchool. Palin is a mean spirited person and she's upset that her looks did not get her a pass beyond AK..

The GOP needs to stop this messy lying woman before she does any additional damage to the party of NO!

Kenton   November 14th, 2009 8:51 pm ET

When did being a "maverick" and a "rogue" become a euphemism for "being a bonehead?"

Schmidt we all know the book is full of lies....I think we just love a train wreck...

You guys need to shut her down now.....the clown show is over and we are sick of it. John McCain needs to make a statement that he made a huge mistake on letting the biggest terror attack happen to his campagine........ She's laughing at all b/c she loves the attention and money....

What CNN never realise. Is in some parts of the World! Even in Britain, they still have to figtht against?????????? "Kingdom's."

You are just fighting for democracy!!! And you still cant get it right. After just 265yrs? We have been fighting for twice that long....

kim   November 14th, 2009 8:48 pm ET

Here we go again CNN. Another palin story, and wow!! the comments are still open, you people live for the nutcase leftist who swoops down on these stories like voltures. Why don't you stop this madness and hate mongering. I have over 600 post from left wing nut cases, who have said some of the most horrible thing about this woman and her family, and there is no right wing blog that I have visited that comes close to saying anythng about a democrat, any democrat including Obama, as bad as the things that they have said about her, and CNN you continue to feed off of it and allow it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

pat   November 14th, 2009 8:43 pm ET

I have no idea what the hullabaloo in this article i about. Ms Crowley is about as clear as mud. What are the specifics on this pushing back by McCain personnel.

This appears to be a typical female spat of much to do about nothing. There is nothing articulated in the article about this spat, either by Crowley, or what Palin, Curic, or Wallace have said. Somewhere there must be a scorned woman or two as hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

It looks like someone claims the interview by Curic of Palin went bad and someone is to blame. I would think Crowley would have something better to report upon.

sandy   November 14th, 2009 8:37 pm ET

kimberly   November 14th, 2009 8:32 pm ET

There is good news and bad news from this. The bad news is there are people that ACTUALLY think palin is more than a side show act. The GOOD news is there are not NEARLY enough of them to matter in 2012. Although I am sure palin will not win the republican primary, I am PRAYING she runs again, I would LOVE to see her fall on her face again, it was a blast the first time around...

Annie, Atlanta   November 14th, 2009 8:32 pm ET

worriedmom, where did all that hate come from? You do realize that we're all Americans, right? And that we all have the same hopes and dreams for ourselves and our families, right? Wow. I don't wish any ill will towards Sarah Palin. She doesn't make me crazy. She's not very bright, but she's a woman and a mom, just like me. I just don't agree with her politics. And do you realize that the "Chosen One" you refer to is our President? I don't think he's "chosen" other than by a majority of the Americans who voted last November. He's just a man, and he's trying to clean up a mess the best way he can. I don't liken him to Jesus Christ. Isn't that heresy?

David, Austin, Texas   November 14th, 2009 8:30 pm ET

Now, we hear about how John McCain's campaign staff sabotaged his campaign by matching Sarah Palin with unfavorable interviewers. Tell us more, Sarah. It couldn't possibly be Sarah's inept performance, which betrayed her not-ready-for-primetime qualifications for national office. Sarah, the only people who could possibly believe this crap are the idiots who flock to see your snarky jabs and folksy, empty rhetoric.

Joanna in PA   November 14th, 2009 8:27 pm ET

I am no conservative, but i wonder why they can not come up with a leader with at least 1/3 of a brain? Surely there MUST be at least one? The Neo cons accuse us of outright hatred for this women. Well, she did cause the hate toward Obama with her made up lies. Obama didn't even play that game back which was extremely commendable. Not sure if i could've. but what we really do not like is that she is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. Its very very dim. And hypocritical. That is truth not hatred.

Stacey   November 14th, 2009 8:24 pm ET

If Sarah Palin looked like Janet Reno, would anyone care what she said or did? Didn't think so.

Tom   November 14th, 2009 8:23 pm ET

Why is Palin so proud of being a "rogue"? Doesn't she know that a rogue is a loner with no following and no friends? Typically, a rogue is antisocial and destructive–unable to get along with others. Why does she think that this a desirable quality?

A leader needs to be able to influence others and pursuade them to that she is able to achieve goals that her followers believe in. A rogue cannot lead because she cannot unite her followers> she is simply creating a personality cult–THIS IS NOT LEADERSHIP.

Joanna in PA   November 14th, 2009 8:22 pm ET

Every time the womens lips moves she is lying. Since Sarah is a unemployed blogger now, it bet she has time to read this. So Sarah, Nobody was against your teenager being pregnant. its the irony of what you spew that was so outrageous. "family values" lol. You and your hubby were to busy seeking fame and glory to pay attention to what she was doing. never the less, things happen. Us libs as you like to call us were calling you out on the hypocrisy. She lies and lies which can all easily be fact checked. But people like her don't bother with the facts do they? Obama moved in God we trust is a fine example. MORAN!! do your homework!! The GOP AND BUSH DID> LOL LOL LOL

Karl   November 14th, 2009 8:20 pm ET

McCain and Palin would BOTH have been bad ( and I say this as a Republican).

He -because he makes a terrible choice, she – because she has no brains.

Joe   November 14th, 2009 8:17 pm ET

Let's play the part where she says she has foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from Alaska again. Who was it that made her say that?

angelia   November 14th, 2009 8:12 pm ET

Enough already!!!!! Who is Sara Palin? never heard of her before she was tapped for vice pres. she could not even finish what she had commited to to the people of the great state of alaska! And some people out here think she coudl be president? Get real...she just needs to go back to alaska...get a job and take care of here family!

Jenna   November 14th, 2009 8:09 pm ET

Actually, I'm happy that Sarah Palin is back in the public eye.
I had the best time watching Saturday Night Live skits.
Everyone I knew – friends, family, coworkers were laughing nonstop for weeks based on the skits by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and all the other Palin provided fodder.
Remember the time she went to save the Thanksgiving turkey, and in the background was a man sticking a live turkey into a machine that cut it's head off.
She's God's gift gift to Democrats.

Russell Miller   November 14th, 2009 8:09 pm ET

Nicolle Walle and her husband Mark Wallace are Romney people, who worked for Romney before his pullout....Mark was the Texas Finance chair for Romney.

They started a sabotage of Palin when it was clear Obama would win.
This is the huge story out there that their friends in the media won't report, even at Fox.

Nicolle invented 1)Palin didn't know Africa was a continent 2)Palin was a diva 3)Palin wanted expensive clothing...then she invented a lie about another campaign operative...Scheuneman, that he was fired.

He was not fired....why the hit by Wallace...because he leaked it to Bill Crystol, that both Mark and Nicolle Wallace were behind the Palin smears.

Tom in Santa Cruz   November 14th, 2009 8:07 pm ET

So all the blame for that disastrous interview goes to the person who arranged it and not the person who actually participated in it? Hysterical. Couric really engaged in some low-down "gotcha" journalism with tough questions like "What newspapers and magazines do you read?" The fact that there are people in this country who still don't realize that Sarah Palin is nothing more than a punchline is mortifying. They will help line her pockets with their dollars and eventually come to realize (but never admit) that they were idolizing a simple-minded fool.

Ellamvaram November 14th, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Can someone tell me, clearly, as to when we as a Nation would stop bringing up Sarah Palin as anything but a stupid woman, an unintelligent, creepy woman. When will the intelligentia of our Nation see through this woman who is nothing but a "blabber" of worst kind. PLEASE, PLEASE, will the media stop bringing her up. She just wants publicity, and we are feeding to her "hunger"!!!

You libs can't stand an intelligent/attractive woman who is a conservative.
Granted, I'm no big fan of hers, but if McCain is against her, that would be a reason to support her. He's a status quo elitist and needs to go with all the others.

AnnoyedinIndiana   November 14th, 2009 8:03 pm ET

I hate conspiracy theories, but I have to admit, I'm beginning to think Palin is one. I don't know why she is constantly forced on us by the media. I watch all the networks, although briefly, because it all becomes so repetitive after a while, and it just baffles me why this person is considered "newsworthy". I sort of understand Fox, the majority of their viewers actually seem to like her, so fair enough, but who cares about this story of who is lying or not? Evidently the mainstream media honestly believes that everyone in America is SO stupid, that we, the ignorant people of the United States, need to be reminded constantly that politicians lie. I mean, really? Politicians lie? Are we sure about this? Can we get some kind of facts to back this up (and yes for clarification purposes, that was sarcasm)? I give up, no wonder people don't watch the news anymore, you try to stay informed of things going on and you just get this crap, and this woman, who is not even a politician anymore, crammed down our throats.

This is the same woman, that can not put together a complete sentence. This is the same woman, that preached family values, and teen just say know insteadof teaching them how to be responsible. This is the same woman that would not answer questions in the debate the way we and the "liberal Media" would like but wanted to talk directly to the American People. This is the same woman that quit her job as Governor after only 2 years after running on a record of accomplishments as Governor. She has no credibility and anyone that listens to her has and deserves no credibility.

What's with some of these comments from obvious idiots, ostensibly "glad" that Sara Palin gets "liberals" upset. So, your glad a failed politician is making money from "you" buying her drivel and her book. She may make "liberals" mad, but it's stupid wingnuts buying her book. So it looks like the last laugh is on you, wingnut.

Palin told the truth in Alaska...cleaned up Alaska and took care of her citizens....SO WE KNOW AND BELIEVER HER. It mattered not what party they were from they went to jail if they were a crook.

Boston Guy   November 14th, 2009 7:43 pm ET

Sarah is a bimbo and her husband is a loser. Just like the beauty queen who made everyone think she was such a great "Christian" who lied, got fake boobs, made a sex tape, got the "Church" behind her as if she was a martyr for Christ, the same is Sarah. If you Christians think that Sarah is a martyr for you then you are more stupid than her. Sarah is a liar!

Linda   November 14th, 2009 7:42 pm ET

Palin is a liar and a cheat and cares nothing for anything or anybody but herself. It is a joke to me that anyone think she could manage our great nation when she can't even manage her family. She is anti woman rights and a reactionary about every issue that deals with the environment. She would kill all the bears if it meant more money in her pockets. Who is raising her Downs Syndrome son? Not her although she uses him every chance she gets.

I am sick of hearing seeing and reading about her. Just llike Rush Lumbaugh, she is a detriment to the United States of America

Jack J   November 14th, 2009 7:41 pm ET

Palin is not lying, however the issue now is we have a Pres who is lying like a trooper......from the STimulus being nothing but waste to our lost 3 Million jobs to his attempt to take over the Private Business'. He is scary, but AMerican knows what he is up to.

Joan B   November 14th, 2009 7:37 pm ET

I believe NIcolet Wallace is lying. We heard during the campaign she was pushy and had bot the expensive clothes, etc.
We have seen Wallace on shows and think she appears intellectually too young to be in the position she was w/McCain Campaign. How many States had she run? How many business' had she owned? I'm sure NONE. These staffers go from campaign to campaign and they they are the experts to the American Public....I think not !

former Texas republican   November 14th, 2009 7:36 pm ET

I'm relieved that Sarah Palin is a media diversion and consequently saves the State of Texas from becoming the focus of embarrasing attention considering the number clowns we have as elected officials in this once proud State.

common_sense   November 14th, 2009 7:35 pm ET

so who do we believe, Nicolle, a former CBS employee or Palin, elected governor of Alaska and somone with more managerial experience than 0bama ?

hint, CBS is the network that used forged documents to try and discredit Bush during the 2004 election

annie   November 14th, 2009 7:33 pm ET

Can someone please tell me why Palin gets so much press coverage? I would much rather read about something pertinent!

brenda11   November 14th, 2009 7:33 pm ET

I'm a republican and I don't get why it seems all republicans jumped on the Palin bandwagon. Why is it that we seem to want the dummest people to run the country. I don't think anyone of us would actually hire Plain to work in our place of business but we support her for the highest offices of the land. If I was sick I would want the smartest and best educated doctors but for leaders our test is if we could have tea or a beer with them. That to me says the most about our party and where we are today and even more why Obama was elected instead of a fellow republican.

Old Farmboy   November 14th, 2009 7:31 pm ET

Have you noticed that CNN allows people to talk about Republican issues, and always welcome the Palin bashers? Have you noticed that when a democratic issue comes to play it's always either permalink, closed with 2 – 20 democratic statements, or only ones selected is a democratic bash saying let me blame it on Bush response... My only questions is why? News is supposed to be non-biased, but that's not the case on CNN. It seems that CNN has given up on the basics of reporting and given themselves to the messiah... uh, I mean President.

I'm sure the candybutts at CNN won't let this fly, but that's the norm.

KO   November 14th, 2009 7:29 pm ET

Palin lies as easily as most of us breathe or eat. Hard to feel sorry for the McCain folks, though, since they picked her!

mary   November 14th, 2009 7:28 pm ET

To paraphrase Shakespeare/Faulkner: Palin is " but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets her hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

Nick   November 14th, 2009 7:27 pm ET

Did she just say "shout out" in her book. Wow the level of her writing is amazing. Its no wonder that she is an unemployed Facebook hack now.

Listen to some of you people...Now McCain was a poor choice...McCain's female advisers were jealous...DEM sabotage...How were those "tough" questions or a set up? This is a woman that was running to be the second most powerful person in this country and one of the most influential in the world. She is blaming Katie Couric...Are you kidding me?? This is why you republican dinosaurs are where you are...NO progress, Same old game, Blame the other party, Cry babies, Your party is leaderless! Oh, I forgot, Rush is your daddy. What a joke!

Bob Dog   November 14th, 2009 7:21 pm ET

This is wonderful. Its great to see Sarah continue to lie and cheat. Can there be any better entertainment than to see Sarah Palin destroy her credibility, day after day, after day.

It looks like everyone is going to benefit from Sarah's book, particularly democrats!

Why would a CNN Senior Political Correspondent be assigned to this non-story?

Bill from CA   November 14th, 2009 7:16 pm ET

Sadly, Sarah Palin has had the longest 15 minutes in history, and is trying to keep us in agony by extending it by whatever means possible. This time, she is throwing one of the more honorable politicians we have, John McCain, under the bus. Even though I did not vote for him, I always admired McCain for his service and sacrifice to our country. During the elections, the GOP constantly reminded us what a great man McCain was, so I'm curious...why aren't more Republicans standing up for McCain against this trashy woman?

Oh, and BTW...regardless of if Wallace was biased in wanting the Couric interview or not, the fact that Palin wanted Fox or some other right-wing news source for her big interview shows how much she lacks basic political sense. An interview with Fox is only going to reinforce support amongst the conservatives, which was never an issue with her. If McCain wanted to win the election, he needed to win over the independs and moderates, and those people are more likely to give an interview with Katie Couric credibility over one with Sean Hannity and those clowns at Fox.

jerseylou   November 14th, 2009 7:14 pm ET

Ok i have this great idea why don't we round up all the palinites foxnites,kkknites,nazinites and their followers .Take them to alaska,take their tools and weapons from them .Build a 100 foot high and deep steel fense 6 feet thick. gather up all the thousands grizzly bears and wolves we can find put them inside this huge fense with these nuts.leave them.. be for 666 days to them selves. We go back on that last day drill a peep hole in the fense and see who is still standing at the top of the food chain. Winner goes back to civilization are the wilderness. Maybe what'sleft of these fools and idiots they would be a little human again!

lizzy09   November 14th, 2009 7:13 pm ET

Sarah Palin is as much of a loser as Levi Johnson- they deserve each other! I'd love to not hear anything more about or from, either one of them.

Cognizant33   November 14th, 2009 7:13 pm ET

Palin lying?!?!?!?!? Who would have thunk it. *Wink WInk* Hey Sarah Can I come over for Thanksgiving dinner I would love to see Russia from your house, I would love to have a gotcha moment with you, and say it aint so Sarah, I would love to just have a Joe plumber meal with you and I promise I wont show my privates like your former future son in law. Give me a break. LOL I read these articles only as a source of amusement. You just have to laugh at the Palinisms!! Thank you Sarah for reminding me why I am so thankful I went to college and can speak clear articulate sentences!! Your the best. *Wink Wink*

Phil from Canada   November 14th, 2009 7:12 pm ET

This vapid, vacuous, uneducated, Alaska hillbilly is an international laughingstock. That she commands adoration from the right wing whackjobs in your country, speaks volumes about the basic intelligence level of the Limbaugh acolytes and the right wing pro-gun God fearin
church goin, health care hatin sector of your population.....In any case,
we just shake our collective heads up here, and laugh...Oooops, maybe I better stop, or y'all gonna wanna bomb us....but you gotta know where we are first....

Silver hog   November 14th, 2009 7:08 pm ET

The interview between Curic and Palin was politicaly bias! Curics condesending body language was a 180 degree from the body language to Obama. A total agenda!

Palin is a person I would vote for.

ng   November 14th, 2009 7:07 pm ET

Liberal media or not, you can not deny that Sarah Palin was a very poor choice for Vice President. Now that she lost the election, she is attemping to stay in the spotlight for as long as possible – even if that means betraying the campaign that built up her name. Her next step will most likely be a spot on the reality show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" in an attempt to stay as relevant as possible.

I am the flacid and powerless wizard of Rush   November 14th, 2009 7:06 pm ET

Palin facebooks today to state that she doesn't believe in the American system of justice. She thinks we can't handle prosecuting, convicting and putting to death the scum that killed 3000 Americans in a NY court.
Why Sarah? What are you afraid of? Holder wouldn't risk it, if he wasn't 100 per cent sure of guilty pleas or convictions.

America has successfully prosecuted 145 terrorists in civilian courts.

kevin   November 14th, 2009 7:05 pm ET

Sarah will get through this that i know. look at all the lying by everyone else, now come on, lets know that sarah palin will survive I believe this 'president' wants to undermine our country and its safety further by his attempt to cover up what is obviously a terror related incident. Impeachment proceedings should begin at once!

g   November 14th, 2009 7:05 pm ET

i,ll buy her book incase i run out of toilet paper

Dan   November 14th, 2009 7:05 pm ET

Why is this book and analyzing a failed campaign so important? The president meanwhile does noting right and revise history? The news on Asia tour and statements there is no political news?

Anonymous   November 14th, 2009 7:02 pm ET

Sarah will get through this, that i know. there may have been mistakes, but all will work to her favor, this i know I believe this 'president' wants to undermine our country and its safety further by his attempt to cover up what is obviously a terror related incident.

I used to respect Candy Crowley but she is now a low level jornalist due to her apparent slanting reporting, it appears this is a pattern for her now; sad, sad, CNN used to be my favorite news station, but as of late I am very disenchanted with this news channel. It is so obvious, it is sad–no wonder CNN ratings keep going down hill–Candy is using her platform of once a respectable journalist to attempt to hinder Sarah's reputation, but fooling America will no longer work as the so call media did during the election.

vic nashville , Tn   November 14th, 2009 6:57 pm ET

I won’t buy the book

For the record because of Pailn we voted for Obama

If she doesn’t like the question she always say that is great question

She is total fake

Bob Ramos   November 14th, 2009 6:52 pm ET

Palin is either very smart or very stupid. Smart if she knows that she can never be the GOP nominee much less President so she is making money while she can. Stupid if she sincerely believes she can become President. Palin cannot be nominated for two basic reasons: (1) She has, or will, allienate just about every important GOP person who can help her and (2) She could never survive the GOP primaries. If anybody really believes that Romney, Pawlenty, and the rest of the GOP candidates will ease up on her, then think again.

JBj   November 14th, 2009 6:43 pm ET

How do you clowns go to sleep at night knowning that this president can not make a decision on the troop that are risking their lives to protect your right to be stupid. The economy is detroyed. Thank you for allowing me to be part of the presidents dependents. I have worked in concrete constuction for several years and the life blood of construction has been destroyed by goverment. That has changed due to this administration. I admire anyone with comon sense values. I look forward to voting all of the existing career leaches out of office and voting Sahara Palin and any responsibe laeders into goverment for the people.

David   November 14th, 2009 6:42 pm ET

@ Mary in Colorado- McCain aides are libs? Is factcheck a "lib" source.
Do some research on this lying heap of trash before making a further fool of yourself. Her book is a total pack of lies that contains nothing remotely resembling the truth other than the fact that the McCain camp made a HUGE mistake selecting her to be VP.

Oh but that must be the "libs" fault again.

#1 Why is this 'woman' still commanding write ups at CNN?
#2 Why would anyone want to read her book?
#3 Why would anyone believe anything she spouts off from her mouth?
#4 Why would anyone believe anything written in her book?
#5 Who cares about Sarah Palin? Besides Sarah Palin?
#6 Does anyone care how much money she is making for someone else to write this book of fiction?
#7 Does anyone care that she has yet to complete anything satisfactory enough to warrant even being in the news except as a joke?
#8 Can we get over the 'Sarah Palin' fetish?
#9 Who cares what she says about a failed VP Campaign?
#10 Who cares to even want to think about this tragic failure in so many areas of politics, life, etc.
#11 Who cares that she has a disabled child?
#12 Who cares that she has an unwed teenage daughter?
#13 Who cares that she kicked out her grandsons father?
#14 Who cares what she has to say on her speaking tour?
#15 Who cares what she can earn from this book?

This woman is old news. Anyone that pays money to buy and read her book really needs to get a life. I am surprised as a woman myself how anyone that cannot even answer simple questions gets so many headlines a month especially this failure as a Gov of Alaska and Failed VP candidate.

CNN, people, get over the Sarah Palin thing already. She's not news, she's an example of who can't complete anything and is so money obsessed that she will put forth a book of fiction and go out on a speaking tour.

Someone needs to put this woman back in her home in Alaska taking care of her children and feeding her husband. Attending church and whatever else she does in Alaska. Stop promoting her. Stop giving her headlines. Stop asking her questions. Stop hiring her for speaking tours. And stop letting her tape robo calls for candidates in the political arena. Let her go back home and be what she needs to be and stop all this 'hype' about someone that wasn't newsworthy before and certainly isn't newsworthy now.

john henry   November 14th, 2009 6:26 pm ET

Just one thing to put things in a perspective, Towards the end of the 2008 presidential campaign Todd Palin was quoted as saying to a group of Republicans/Conservatives to "...hold their powder until 2012." We are now seeing the Palin plans seeded then.

Don't simply accept this comment.........seek it out!

It is not so much Palin sares me.......but there is some scale of mass that accepts her as a "leader" scares the the bejesus out of me.

A.B.   November 14th, 2009 6:26 pm ET

John McCain is either in denial about the disasterous performance of Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate or he is mellowing into senility. I don't think Senator McCain is a stupid man, but I do think that he suffers from poor judgement–his continued stance on the Iraq war in light of public discovery of no weapons of mass destruction being found and his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. McCain's campaign advisors know better and convey the fact that his selection of Palin was a gross mistake and that she is obviously unsuited for the U.S. Presidency or any form of political leadership.

O No Miss Wallace, doing the campaign, she was the greatest thing happening but now she is lying about the campaign, come on now which one is it. I'll tell you which one it is, Palin was not and will never be qualified to be Pres.. She's just as dumb as a cucumber and some out here really thinks she is qualified, what a joke. I guess this country loves to have someone not qualified to run this country. Just look at the last 8 yrs and that tells you all you need to know.

Nadeem   November 14th, 2009 6:20 pm ET

Looks like the blame game, not very presidential, you need friends to make a run for th WH, not make more enimies.

Michael Buck   November 14th, 2009 6:20 pm ET

Palin is becoming the face of a new political party that features the rest of her ilk; Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and Sean Hannity. Right wing, fake religious hypocrites without education who prey on the ignorant by repeating lies until they believe it is fact. I just watched the Palin exorcism...what a whack job!

Big Blue Patriot   November 14th, 2009 6:17 pm ET

To (posters) Vince, bob and Chris Desouza:

Vince, what does performing "REAL WELL" mean? More importantly, how does a person's performance on a TV program prove she is telling the truth? Perhaps you should wait until Monday to see the show.

Bob, as for President Bush lying, here are two excerpts from his 2003 State of the Union Address. Both were proven to be lies, Both are written down in the speech's transcript: "Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." "Our intelligence sources tell us that he has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production."

Chris, as for President Obama lying, the actions he promised are indeed, as you sagely suggest, still in progress and therefore don't qualify as lies. Ms. Palin's refer to the past and are already hotly contested. She also has already been caught in contradicting herself (see the bridge to nowhere).

Wow. These CNN postings are really Fantasy Land.

Sherrie   November 14th, 2009 6:17 pm ET

Sarah Palin lies? Gee, what a shocker... NOT! This woman is the ditziest of blondes so who really cares what comes out of Sarah's World's Most Annoying Mouth?!

She is so embarrassing and puts women back by generations! I guess that's what some sexist men would like about this dip! Only an idiot could like this idiot but thankfully most can see right through this thing that thinks she is being ever so clever! Unbelievably ignorant to say the least!

Mike   November 14th, 2009 6:14 pm ET

You have to wonder: If McCain had it to do all over again, would he still pick Palin as his running mate? My guess is "no" seeing as he won't even come out to back her for a 2012 run.

Poor little Sarah. She dwells in her own little reality. Too bad she just won't stay there.

carol   November 14th, 2009 6:14 pm ET

worried mom: so you believe Sarah Palin above experiencedcampaign staffers? Palin thinks that putting all this in a book will make it true. The sad thing is there are actually people like you who believe this idiot! Palin opened her mouth in front of the media, the media did not make up what came out of her mouth.

Clearly the best candidate Republicans can offer in 2012. Will the Eastern Money Republicans still try to silence her then too? Real America knows her and her heart, and are willing to support her.

I think all the right-wing losers posting their inarticulate and ignorant sputterings here, are both hilarious and pathetic at the same time.

Your Moose-Babe Sarah is a pathological liar, like, I suspect, most of you right-wing losers are.

Thank God Obama won. I don't agree with everything he's done, but he's infinitely better than Palin/McCain.

Steve in Kentucky   November 14th, 2009 6:07 pm ET

I think this book will show even Palin's supporters how completely unqualified and clueless she was during the campaign and still is.

To refer to a network television anchor as a "press" is a real head shaker. "I really didn't have a say in which press I was going to talk to ... "

Like she was going to talk to a printing press.

And why not just Faux and the Wall Street Journal? I mean, hey. I'm not a Rethuglican strategist, but one can fairly assume the McCain folks wanted to expand their reach into media that's not part of the right-wing fringe. Not rocket science. But apparently it's still a mystery to Palin.

And her wish to do a "shout out" to praise Bush. Again, no mystery. He had bottom-of-the-barrel approval ratings. The Rethugs didn't want to bring him up. If she is so clueless that she still doesn't get it, how stupid can she possibly be?

Aubrey   November 14th, 2009 6:06 pm ET

Why do we still care about a woman who couldn't even finish her *appointment* to the governorship of Alaska? She has no serious future in politics, and her book thus far seems to be an extension of everything else she has already displayed to the American people- stupidity and lies.

MarkRSM   November 14th, 2009 6:04 pm ET

Sarah Palin is the one person when given a choice between looking the other way and making a lot of money and doing the right thing, choose the right thing. She did not turn in the other party for being courpt, she turned in her's. Anybody that is courpt will always be afraid of her,and attack her. We do not need a Harvard or Yale president we need an honest one.

"I love stories about Sarah Palin because I love watching the liberal lemmings foam at the mouth just to get a pot shot in. Most of you are educated by the media and are stupid, you know that right? You betcha!"

"Liberal Lemmings," nice alliteration, but without any other literary or factual merit.
Lemmings follow the one in front of them blindl, in many cases to their demise. "Liberals" actually think things through and consider the FACTS of a thing. Let's review:
Sarah palin has PROVED HERSELF to be vindictive (going after her sister's ex husband and his boss – for starters, this book is another example), self serving (both in trying to take money from Alaska that she was not entitled to and in QUITTING her executive position, in the end, because it was better for her, no matter what LIES she tells). A (lousy) liar of magnificent proportions, about almost everything. Intellectually inept and/or lazy (look at her interviews, among other things). Disingenuous (the "death panel" stuff comes to mind).

For "Liberals," any ONE OF THESE THINGS would be enough to make her a liability and unworthy of our support.

For the "Right" wing(nut), like with Ollie North, all of these thingst become a badge of honor, somehow.

Stop eating the paint chips from your window sills.

Sarah Palin has been viciously attacked since the first day she accepted the nomination for vice-President. BEFORE the book or Couric interview or anything. The liberals saw her as threat to the Obama, and the assault began. Keep attacking her, it will only make her more popular.

Kathy   November 14th, 2009 6:01 pm ET

Sarah Fan, I can see why you're her fan. You sound just like her–unintelligible. Sarah Palin is a ditz and she exposed her lack of intelligence when Katie Couric had her on her show. It was a simple as that. Before she was on that show, we didn't know whether she was qualified to be V.P. because the McCain campaign kept her under wraps. Maybe she would've pulled McCain through to win if they'd kept her quiet–who knows?

Aaron   November 14th, 2009 5:57 pm ET

I hope everyone who has complained about Sarah Palin doesn't buy her book. It's reminiscent of Madonna's controversial book "Sex" in the 90s where all of the bible thumpers were outraged but were the first in line to purchase it. One more thought: white trash is white trash, no matter how much money or with whom you are associated.

usualone   November 14th, 2009 5:55 pm ET

If the people in the McCain camp continue to deny what Palin writes, combined with the other facts of her history, perhaps she will go away from our public eye (we should be so lucky). It will be interesting how those who continue to believe in her will make excuses this time. It is amazing - and appauling too.

There is absolutely no excuse whatsoever for someone, especially the VP candidate of a major party, to be unable to answer a simple question like "what do you read." She can blame and try to humiliate Couric all she wants, but the questions were not difficult. Palin simply lacks communication skills and intellect. She's an empty vessel, a void filled only with ideological zealotry.

Democrat Discust   November 14th, 2009 5:43 pm ET

It's always the same scumbag liberals who attack Palin on every article CNN runs about her. The same few ACORN paid bloggers until they are finally shut down, or the "real" teabaggers from SF, or the welfare slugs waiting for their free checks, or the homely women who's husband's have left them for younger and prettier models, or the GLBT community who wants to convert our children. Gee, I could keep going on and on classifying the entire Democratic Party. You call your selves Progressives because Liberal is a tainted term now. Only 20% of the country consider themselves liberal; that isn't something to be proud of. You, Code Pink, ACORN, and George Soros make good bed partners. The rest of the country hates your guts, and there are 3 times more of us then you. Keep it up, please!!

cathyinAZ   November 14th, 2009 5:42 pm ET

Anyone who did not think this book would be a total "lie" was kidding themselves. I am waiting for everyone to figure this out so MS. Palin can then say, "I didn't lie, I didn't write the book".
I am more angry @ McCain for hoisting her on the public and now we are stuck with her.
If everyone would ignore her, maybe she would just GO AWAY!

kj   November 14th, 2009 5:41 pm ET

This whole idea that Sarah Palin is relevant cracks me up. It's really funny what people respond to. Well, we are in the land of the free...so, anything goes!!!!. Good luck to all her supporters because it shows the level of what they perceive as been legit and substantive. What a joke!

Katie   November 14th, 2009 5:36 pm ET

I called it!!! Just because a book's a best seller doesn't mean it isn't fiction! Sarah's laughing all the way to the bank. Get a grip on reality, you Palin-lovers – the woman just wants to make a buck and be adored!! She wouldn't know a fact if it smacked her, but she sure knows how to spin a story to get a lot of sympathy from you accolytes, you betcha!

Molly Sage   November 14th, 2009 5:32 pm ET

My personal feeling is that Sarah Palin is just plain not herself and she just wants to get back at people for she was a sore looser in the 2008.

And I also feel that she is making a down right fool of herself. I ask myself what the heck is she trying to do anyway. It sounds to me if she doesn't get her way she just throws it to the side and try's something else. Please take her back to Alaska where she belongs.

Thank you if you do

this is what gets me when conservatives and the Limbaugh bunch always say it's the "evil left wing media" that is always slamming Sarah Palin and that the left is scared to death of her. Well lately it seems to me that it's her OWN PEOPLE that are slamming her and the libs and Dems can just sit back and watch. I assume these folks are Republicans since they once all worked on the same front and I guess Levi was once a right leaning GOPer himself. As of right now these are the folks going after her, not the liberal left. To the rescue Rush, Glenn and Sean since Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes of fame seem to have finally expired.

KLS   November 14th, 2009 5:26 pm ET

It appears Sarah Palin is painting herself as a victim who was mistreated and abused by everyone in the McCain camp.

She needs to own up to her responsibility instead of blaming everyone else. How hard was it to tell Katie, during the interview, want newspapers she read or about any Supreme Court case?

I'm a Republican who had supported McCain till he added Palin to his ticket. Because of her being so unqualified for the first time in my voting life I voted for a Democrat. At still to this day I'm not sorry.

Joe Schmoe USA   November 14th, 2009 5:25 pm ET

If Palin's comments were really "fiction" as they say, they would be the first to sue for slander. Since that hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it ever will, we can only assume everything she is saying is true. It's not rocket science. But here's the rub- we have a bunch of politicians calling another politician a liar...who do we believe? Oh, the irony in that one...

Katie`   November 14th, 2009 5:25 pm ET

LOL, Nicole "adores" GWB? Man she and Palin are two pieces o'work!! Shocked, shocked I tell you that Palin's book seems to consist completely of self-agrandiizing lies. If that woman ever took repsonsibility or admitted to her own mistakes (like the fact that she SUCKED on the CBS interview!) I'd just about fall off my chair. She's always the victim. This is who the GOP wanted a heartbeat away (MCCAIN'S OLD HEARTBEAT!) from the Oval Office? Could their standards get any lower?

Comment   November 14th, 2009 5:23 pm ET

Sarah has the right to consider the Couric interview brutal because I'm sure that's how she felt and that's how she feels. So, yes it was brutal for her! It would be easier to get the right response from Ardipithecus ramidus than from dear Sarah.

Someone who cares   November 14th, 2009 5:23 pm ET

If I didn't know better, I would have thought Sarah was secretly working to get Obama elected. Can anyone be THIS dumb? I guess Sara could be.

brenda   November 14th, 2009 5:21 pm ET

What a mess!

I am sure if Obama has all ill stuff sarah Palin has from no family values to corruption in wasilla and his crazy husband who wanted Alaska to succede then Obama won't have been heard again on the media......
I think it is good to be Sarah Palin...

Buschbacher   November 14th, 2009 5:21 pm ET

Sarah is a liar ,,,,,,hummmmm?????

Just Me   November 14th, 2009 5:19 pm ET

With all the accusations flying between the Palin and McCain camps, could you guys imagine what the White House would have been if they had won? With the country fighting two wars, and the economy nearing historic depresion levels, the last think America needed was waring parties between the White House and the Vice Presidential Office.

I think America wisely voted for Obama-Biden. McCain was simply too old, and Palin just was not ready and still is not. She may think she is, but delusional people cannot see their delusions, so that's understandable.

Bassman   November 14th, 2009 5:18 pm ET

The day John McCain picked Sarah to be his running mate the media was telling us she banned books from the Wasilla library, and Trig was not her baby. Once again they are telling us she is a liar. The media will never allow Americans to see a positive side of Sarah. If Sarah had been a Democratic candidate, they would herald her for telling us the truth for history's sake. Rather then call her "vindictive", she would be standing up for " setting the record straight"

Eric   November 14th, 2009 5:18 pm ET

To all of you who right wingers who think Sarah Palin makes ANYone nervous – I will just tell you this as a democrat – I want more and more of her – I would like nothing more than for Obama to have a cake-walk in 2012 and Palin will give him that. Hell, I'll even work for her in her primary campaign. Go Sarah Go!! Sarah in 2012!!!

Sam of CA   November 14th, 2009 5:16 pm ET

Considering Sarah got punished for ethics violations... and stealing from the government... I dont particularly trust what she says.

John Boy   November 14th, 2009 5:16 pm ET

MCCain: Hear this! Quit trying to answer her or rebutt her. It is only going to hurt Republican chances! It helps neither side and does not matter one way or the other. I usually find the truth is somewhere in the middle of two feuding parties anyway. Oregon

B   November 14th, 2009 5:16 pm ET

Why is McCain concerned, he created the monster......

Nancy G   November 14th, 2009 5:16 pm ET

Thank goodness I don't have anything to do with CNN, an unabashedly left leaning network. It doesn't matter who said what here. What is impofrtant is that Sarah Palin drives you Libs crazy. Keep up the good work, CUDA!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Then why are posting on the CNN site. Why is it when comments don't agree with you're point of view they're left leaning liberal. Don't flatter yourself, SP does not drive libs crazy. It's more of an amusement than craziness.

dina osullivan   November 14th, 2009 5:14 pm ET

Lying, Sarah Palin lying... Oh no...this can't be!!!!!!!!!!!

Did she lie when she was pregnant...Did she lie about why she quit being Governor ofAlaska Does she lie about how she Levi is loved in her family..Does she lie about calling her baby retarded....Does she lie about her marriage...Does she lie about her Couric interview...

Sarah Palin is one big, big lie and God forbid if we even consider electing or runing her for President. This woman has so much ego to even imagine that she is qualified to be PresidentShe must be pretty stupid to think that and those around her must also be pretty stupid to think she can be President. I am so sick of her andhow the media follows her around. She is a TMZ knock down drag out celebrity with no reason to be a celebrity. Get rid of her ...Coulter,and all these other dim witted women who think they are Presidentialmaterial.

Thank the media for keeping Sister Sarah in the spotlight: then rational people can remember (in case they forgot) what an albatross this woman is .... and why she should never hold elected office .... after all – she didn't even finish her last term ... never, ever Sarah ... repeated playing of the Couric interview could be used to torture prisoners ... except it would be filed under Cruel and Unusual punishment....

Donald in CA   November 14th, 2009 5:06 pm ET

With the money sarah makes on her book she can park her trailor on a ocean front lot. Maybe sarah can buy health care for the poor yahoos who made her famous.

Kevin   November 14th, 2009 5:05 pm ET

when are people gonna stop caring about Sarah Palin ( a complete nutbag) and start getting back to real issues?

Comment   November 14th, 2009 5:05 pm ET

I don't think most Democrats are educated by the media...they are just educated, period, most of the Republlcans, though, are in need of some education...try educating yourselves, go to school, go to college, use your brains a bit, you will realize that it won't kill you.

Independent   November 14th, 2009 5:05 pm ET

I really, really, really want Sara Palin to go away. However I can't help but state that something is definitely wrong in US Politics when someone like Palin could come that close to being VP....It is quite scary

priscilla   November 14th, 2009 5:03 pm ET

This woman is increible...she has very little education, is not a good mother since she is never home, never sees her husband, was a huge mistake in the McCain campaign, rambles on saying absolutely nothing, had a ghost writer write her book as quickly as possible just in time for Christmas shopping, (though the only reason to buy the book would be for a joke), and contributes nothting to this world but bringing up blah blah blah about how terribly she was treated by the media and the McCain staff during her two little months of minimum fame. Why doesn't she just go back home, learn to take care of her family, get a decent job that she will stick to and let the rest of us go on with our lives. Rahashing some of the "good ole days" is getting very old.

Bassman   November 14th, 2009 5:03 pm ET

The day John McCain picked Sarah to be his running mate, the media was telling us She banned books from the Wasilla library, and Trig was not her baby. Both lies. Now, once again they are doing everything in their power to destroy a joyful day for those of us that suppore Gov. Palin. The media will never ALLOW

Travis   November 14th, 2009 5:02 pm ET

LOL, these scum bag McLame aides have been trashing Governor Palin so long, they believed it with impunity, now they are in a panic that millions will read what Palin has to say about their worthless arses.

Steve Schmidt, the chit, and Wallace know that Palin is about to end their so called political careers and they are freaking out.

Not to worry though, they ain't seen nothing yet. Palin the williwaw is about to be unleashed out of the northland like a force of nature upon the political world and, few in the lower 48 know anything about the overwhelming power of a williwaw. On a calm sunny day, out of nowhere, it can wreak destruction upon the unwary, demasting their ships in a thought to be safe harbor and heeling them over to sink into a watery grave.

Chris Desouza   November 14th, 2009 4:56 pm ET

Palin may or may not be lying. But our President is NOT. All the promises he made will come true. It is just a matter of time. or is it?

"Yes we can!" – Sure!

bob   November 14th, 2009 4:55 pm ET

G.W.Bush may have been a bit slow, but he knew enough to keep his mouth shut and not put blatant lies in print in a book.

Vince   November 14th, 2009 4:53 pm ET

I guess Palin's interview with Oprah went well because she's not being criticized for that. A matter of fact, it must have went REAL WELL because no one is knocking it at all. MMmmmm, maybe there is something about how the pathetic McCain camp prepared her and controlled her,mmmmm just maybe.

Ellamvaram   November 14th, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Can someone tell me, clearly, as to when we as a Nation would stop bringing up Sarah Palin as anything but a stupid woman, an unintelligent, creepy woman. When will the intelligentia of our Nation see through this woman who is nothing but a "blabber" of worst kind. PLEASE, PLEASE, will the media stop bringing her up. She just wants publicity, and we are feeding to her "hunger"!!!

Mary in Colorado   November 14th, 2009 4:51 pm ET

In looking at the number and length of responses, I see that Sarah has "gotch'ed" a bunch of you Libs again. Thank goodness I don't have anything to do with CNN, an unabashedly left leaning network. It doesn't matter who said what here. What is impofrtant is that Sarah Palin drives you Libs crazy. Keep up the good work, CUDA!

Scot   November 14th, 2009 4:47 pm ET

Yep, that Couric interview was brutal. Real tough questions to handle like "What newspapers do you read?" Obviously a set-up.

Paul   November 14th, 2009 4:47 pm ET

I always enjoy a good joke where the punchline is "Sarah Palin."

Runofthemill   November 14th, 2009 4:47 pm ET

palin is too delusional to actually be "lying." she can't distinguish reality from fiction. she obviously is out of her mind if she thinks she can actually do any job.

Denise   November 14th, 2009 4:47 pm ET

I didn't vote for McCain but I thought that the McCain camp did the best they could with what they had, a dumb an ignorant vice presidential candidate with a ton of personal baggage. As far as the she said, they said, I wouldn't believe any of them. It doesn't matter in the end because they lost, thank goodness!

worriedmom   November 14th, 2009 4:46 pm ET

ha,ha, think the staffers didn't think they would be told on. If people remember in the campaign some of these staffers that are coming out were the same who were complaining about her. I think Sara turned the tables on them and the joke is on them.
Liberals are having such a hard time with the mention of Sara Palin. Well now you Liberals know how we conseratives feel when we have to hear the Chosen One and his thugs. Back at ya, you betcha!!!

Bob   November 14th, 2009 4:45 pm ET

It's funny, Republicans have a habit of arming and supporting ideological wingnuts and it tends to come back and haunt them. Al Quida and Palin are just two examples.

Eric   November 14th, 2009 4:44 pm ET

I love stories about Sarah Palin because I love watching the liberal lemmings foam at the mouth just to get a pot shot in. Most of you are educated by the media and are stupid, you know that right? You betcha!

Evelyn in AL   November 14th, 2009 4:42 pm ET

McCain's choice of Palin is a perfect example of his very poor judgment. It is terrifying to think that we could have had someone so ignorant as she a heartbeat away from the Presidency. She makes Dubya look well-read!!

Johanna from Arizona   November 14th, 2009 4:42 pm ET

I am a tried-and-true feminist, but feminism has nothing to do with the Palin fiasco during the campaign. She was ill-equipped, intellectually, to handle to campaign, much less the office of the Vice-President. Her "cutesy" manner and country-bumpkin expressions are a reflection of her thought process and her inability to communicate as an educated adult. As a dedicated Democrat, I am delighted that her book is a "success." One more nail in the coffin.

Evelyn in AL   November 14th, 2009 4:38 pm ET

McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate is a classic example of very poor judgment. We should all be thankful that ignorant woman is not a heartbeat away from the Presidency. What a scary thought!!

Chris in Memphis   November 14th, 2009 4:38 pm ET

Just think.she would have been a heart beat away from the Presidency... That is scarier than Paranomal Activity....

carol   November 14th, 2009 4:38 pm ET

Yes, she lies. But what is distressing is that there are people out there who believe her. If they would just research things, they would find out the truth.

dp in jersey   November 14th, 2009 4:31 pm ET

Uh, jtsilver2th, McCain picked Pallin, not the other way around. From where did you get your info, Sarah's book?

Comment   November 14th, 2009 4:30 pm ET

I hope Sarah Palin is running for president...I really need the comedic relief...I had fun watching her during the last presidential campaign: She was the best clown ever in existence, I have a feeling she has her careers "a bit confused". Of course, the Republican party wants to use her as much as possible...she generates a lot of money for the party!!!

LMC   November 14th, 2009 4:29 pm ET

Palin was chosen by the McCain campaign because she is a woman and because they thought she would bring in the votes from the far right. The campaign hoped to pick up votes from women who were upset that Hilary Clinton had not gotten the nomination. As a woman, I was totally insulted that the McCain campaign thought they could dangle any woman in front of me and I would voted for McCain! Although I seldom agreed with McCain, I had a lot of respect for him prior to this last campaign. He was willing to do anything to get elected.

I have no respect for Palin who has proven herself to be a divisive, untruthful person. I would rather have McCain for president than Palin! I will never feel that I can trust a word Palin says without fact checking it! I don't hate her, I just have no respect for her whatsoever!

Aspen Professor   November 14th, 2009 4:28 pm ET

Palin, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Rove, Cheney, et al ... Do any of them know truth from fiction? Apparently not. Who gave the Repubs and Conservs those blantany lying, hypicrisy pills? Come on, fess up.

i agree with you edstack sr. during the election time young people vote and they havent seen the life in deep and havent experienced it. and they went for vote. public should watch TV but, also read newspaper and listen radio. only watching news on TV ,not going to give all the information. most of people does not know the facts when their is a conversation. john mccain was a wrong candidate of the campaign during the election time. and the chances for winning for obama was very high due to young people and because of race. well i hope it wont ever happen in history again.

The Teester   November 14th, 2009 4:25 pm ET

The only talent sarah Palin has is to Buffalo the Dopes. It is a shame that her fans are so ill-witted and short-sighted and it is a blessing that the rest of the country is aware that she is simply selling Snake Oil.

JonDie   November 14th, 2009 4:24 pm ET

We know, Ms. Wallace, that everything that comes out of Sarah Palin's mouth is a lie, a mispresentation, fiction or ignorant tripe. Not all of us are as clueless as you and John McCain.

Joe from Virginia   November 14th, 2009 4:20 pm ET

You can be a Sarah Palin fan/supporter and still conclude that she did a lousy job in the Katie Couric interview. Just watch the interview–it's painful. You can argue that the "mainstream media" is biased and that still doesn't change the results of what's on camera. Those weren't biased or slanted questions, Gov. Palin's answers were mediocre at best. It diminishes her (Palin's) credibility to try and foist the blame/responsibility off on anyone else.

Look at how Dan Quayle performed when initially put in front of the cameras–lots of mistakes, bad statements, dumb comments (like in the initial interview where he was introduced as a VP nominee, when asking about his Vietnam decision he said "well, if I'd know then that I'd been up on this stage now I'd probably have done things differently.") Regardless of what you think of Quayle or Palin's intelligence, one really big lesson from both cases is this: if you take someone who really hasn't been under lots of media pressure by having served in a high-spotlight job where 1 or 2 word mis-speak can create a real disaster (and no, Gov. of Alaska or Senator from Indiana don't qualify) than you're going to say really dumb things when you get in front of the camera. People really don't get how hard it is to really listen to yourself, to be mentally and verbally sharp, and avoid the kind of missteps and foot in mouth comments that often happen when you go from a forgiving stage to one with bright lights, focus on your every word and fact-checkers who go back to match what you said against what actually happened.

Midwest   November 14th, 2009 4:19 pm ET

A one dimensional, vacuous, campaign killing mistake cashes in on her undeserved fame by bolting from her responsibilities as governor to make a seven figure payday on a book that lies about the campaign that pulled her from total obscurity into the national spotlight???

GO Sarah!!! You're a class act.

You're just one more good reason why I left the Republican Party after being a Reagan Republican since 1979.

Liz   November 14th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

It amazes me that Palin could be so narcissistic as to write something that can be easily disputed by Ms. Wallace.

kevin   November 14th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

Palin is a quitter and a ball face liar. I wonder what the Duke John Wayne would say of her childish behavior as well as being a money grubber to sell out anyone to get what she wants.

RO   November 14th, 2009 4:14 pm ET

Wonder how Sarah Palin would do on a lie detector test... she doesn't know reality from fiction....really think she truly believes what comes out of her mouth.

Why would anyone think that an interview with her would boost anyone's self esteem? If anything it may make you suicidal trying to figure out what the hell her problem is.

Debbie   November 14th, 2009 4:05 pm ET

I can imagine these kinds of strategy discussions being held behind the scenes that would humiliate people if they ever got out. Leave it to Palin to be the rat to try to save herself. She's very short-sighted.

John   November 14th, 2009 4:04 pm ET

Palin lives in the land of Make-Believe. Maybe she thinks she is Lady Elaine Fairchilde, "The antagonist when a storyline calls for one, but her neighbors are quick to forgive her because they understand her so well. One of her prized possessions is her Boomerang-Toomerang-Zoomerang, with which she sometimes makes mischief; but usually, when she is caught, she uses the same, to put things back to normal. It is discerned during the series that she has low self-esteem and is extremely self-conscious, and because of this, her neighbors are extremely patient with her until she finally learns her lesson." (Wikipedia).

It certainly does describe the weather girl.

AJ   November 14th, 2009 4:01 pm ET

Palin's interview with Couric went badly because the Palin is dumb as a post. She and the Tea Party idiots are gifts to the democratic party that keep on giving.

Alicia   November 14th, 2009 4:01 pm ET

Anyone who paid any kind of attention to the campaign can see for their own eyes that Sarah Palin was screwed over by the campaign. They wouldn't let her talk and did not treat her with any respect. Now, we have Obama. The campaign advisors can look in the mirror to see why. If her own party treated her like a 2nd class citizen, the country would certainly do so as well. Equality for women! I wish to goodness that people would not condescend to women.

Madeleine Peckham   November 14th, 2009 4:01 pm ET

"In excerpts of her new book "Going Rouge: An American Life" that were obtained by other organizations, including the conservative website Drudge report..."

Palin does indeed seem to favor the color red, but I believe her book title may rather have been chosen to reflect her self-identified "maverick qualities" with the word Rogue.

robmarie   November 14th, 2009 4:00 pm ET

Palin cannot admit that she is illiterate in the area of world events and news. That is the reason it did not go well. Stop blaming everyone else. A real leader admits faults no matter how how damaging it appears.

Karen-phoenix   November 14th, 2009 3:54 pm ET

The women has NO concept of reality!!! She has lived in Alaska which is a complete socialistic state and got paid $1500 per person in her family (7 times $1500 equals $10500 per year just for living in Alaska) and she has 100% health care through the Eskimo program!!! How can she relate to the "working poor" in the lower 48!!!

They call me "tater salad"   November 14th, 2009 3:54 pm ET

This nitwit needs to go back to clubbing baby, Harp seals in Alaska! It's funny how she cut's down the so-called liberal media, but never misses an opportunity to put herself out there in front of all the cameras and microphones whenever possible! See folks.......She's so retarded that she doesn't even realize that these "liberal media" outlets , like CNN, Fox, ect.... are saving her a fortune in book promos, and future campaign exposure, by doing all of the public relations legwork for her for free! And doing it willingly as well!!!!!!!!

larry567   November 14th, 2009 3:53 pm ET

Palin , now Prejean, what has become of the Right that allows people like this to represent them. The fact that Palin even has support, and Prejean can lie on national TV (I was 17) just speaks volumes of the condition of the education system in the USA!

SensibleJoe   November 14th, 2009 3:52 pm ET

iquitarod   November 14th, 2009 3:52 pm ET

Hee hee hee. 'Going Rouge' is right. This woman needs to go away.

Ken in NC   November 14th, 2009 3:48 pm ET

Wallace needs to understand that Sarah Palin cannot be satisfied with spewing bad news. She is most comfortable when she does it on the fly. She makes it up as she goes along. This woman is less Presidential than Russ Limpbrain........ooops Limbaugh. I think if you put her brain in a bird it would fly backwards.

Rob   November 14th, 2009 3:41 pm ET

John McCain's introduction of Sarah Palin into national politics is akin to the release of an evil Genie from it's bottle. Think about it.

Just the facts   November 14th, 2009 3:40 pm ET

Mrs. Palin still has the " deer in the headlights" approach to reality. Most Democrats are probably hoping, and for good reason, she'll be the 2012 Presidential nominee.

Her new library will now include, in addition to "Fun with Dick and Jane" and her coloring books, her five chapter fantasy novel, " Going Rogue."

Vietnam vet   November 14th, 2009 3:40 pm ET

don   November 14th, 2009 3:37 pm ET

None this explains her total lack of brain power during the course of the interview with Couric. That is the relevant substance regardless of the book statements. The interview speaks for itself.

judecowell   November 14th, 2009 3:36 pm ET

what a hilarious bunch of people!

betty   November 14th, 2009 3:35 pm ET

S Palin is a person who FINDS IT NECESSARy to change the truth, In other words she is a story teller of untruths. I think one would call that a liar, She is not a model mother, she did not prepare meals the kids ran wild, and the oldest daughter was the mother figure in the family. If one checks things in Wasilla, there was a 20 million dollar deficit when she left the position of mayor, and there is a trail of a pretty woman who cuts down others, fabricates stories and uses others to boost her own self esteem. for God's sake America DO NOT ELECT THIS FANATIC into the political arena!!!

judecowell   November 14th, 2009 3:34 pm ET

Tommygunn   November 14th, 2009 3:31 pm ET

Poor Sarah as she clears the records on her behalf, there is still an unbalanced difference of stories among her allies.

Give her a break, she can only throw stones and can't take it with direct dialogue to none partician media (CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS). We all know the cable networks outside of CNN have slants one way or the other....

Sarah Palin is a ditz. I can't believe anyone pays any attention to her much less would spend the money to read her book. Please please Sarah, go back to Alaska and live in the outback where you can live with the bears and other wild animals and shoot them when you want. We have had more than enough of you!!!

Thomas   November 14th, 2009 3:25 pm ET

If I really cared about this stuff, I would buy her book... But since I don't, I won't.

Please don't start publishing more articles about her book.

We know about the book, let us decide whether to buy it or not.

only the party of blockheads and dummies believe palin and foxnews and walls street journal. anyway thanks to palin for exposing the whitehouse fact that foxnews is a propaganda arm of the republican party.
when will foxnews analyse the fact that republican party have had abortion in their health insurance since 1991, ?
yet they ran against abortion in all elections ever since. the blockheads and dummies will still find a way to explain it or sweep it under the doormat at foxnews.
by the way, does palin show any signs of being a journalism graduate in her artful dodging of interviews from fellow journists? lol

Mike   November 14th, 2009 3:21 pm ET

Sarah has to make things up because she lives in a fantasy world where its more important that she look good, rather than the truth be told. She's an American Evangelical Christian. She can't do anything else. She's been forgiven, over & over & over. The "...sin no more" part is optional.

Notuorc   November 14th, 2009 3:21 pm ET

I'd like to give a "shout-out" to the publishers who finally got on Palin vocab "bandwagon."

joe   November 14th, 2009 3:19 pm ET

Of course she had to make stuff up. She needed filler to justify the large advance. Leaving as Governor was the smartest thing to do, she no longer needs money which is why Todd quit his job too. The funny thing about these bozos is that they lie so often they actually believe their own lies to be truth.

But hey, what do they care? She's had her fame, she is making more money than she ever thought would be possible for a person like herself and that's all they really care about.

PAUL W.   November 14th, 2009 3:19 pm ET

Again, It is only news when you find a Republican who isn't lying!

new mexico john   November 14th, 2009 3:18 pm ET

I imagine McCain sure has some buyers remorse about Palin. she has thrown everyone under the bus.

mk   November 14th, 2009 3:18 pm ET

Palin Lying? Really? Shocking.

pod   November 14th, 2009 3:18 pm ET

I would believe Palin ANY DAY over those advisers. She was found NOT guilty on ALL the ethiics charges that her enemies kept trying to smear her with. She has demonstrated that she possesses great character over the course of her life and political career.

Michele   November 14th, 2009 3:17 pm ET

Go Nicolle. Do not let this woman rewrite history, even if she will never even be a footnote in a history book. Palin is all about pushing Palin, and throwing everyone else under the big bus with her gigantic photo on it (you'd think someone might have said that was a bit much, heh, Meg Stapleton?) As usual, she refuses to admit that anything was her fault. "It was a bad interview" but only because Couric was the wrong person to talk to, not because Palin said anything stupid. It was a bad interview because Wallace had some ulterior, peculiar motive, not because Palin refused to prepare for it. Sarah, we are onto you. You will be gone before the bus needs any more gas. And, by the way, what kind of MPGs does that campaign ad get? 5?

Perusing-through   November 14th, 2009 3:17 pm ET

REALITY CHECK:

Katie Couric's interview of Sarah Palin is considered softball when compared to interviews done by most major media outlets. For a person to be a heartbeat from Presidency and Commander-in-Chief of a Superpower nation, Palin election to V.P. would have been an abomination.

Sarah Palin failed the interviews because she was not ready, and still not ready, and it is as simple as that.

Peace   November 14th, 2009 3:17 pm ET

Palin is the dramma queen. We all watched the interview carried by Kate Couric. She fumbled even to say what kind of magazines she reads. Who is to blame, the person who pushed her to take the interview (Nicolle Wallace) OR the ignorant one (Palin) who was not able to answer such a simple question!

grace   November 14th, 2009 3:17 pm ET

Sarah prefers to believe what she prefers to be TRUE. She just can't get it straight. She thinks it would be LOVELY to sit down and have dinner with LEVI. WHY? He is just out trying to make a buck during his 15 minutes of fame, too.

Simmy   November 14th, 2009 3:16 pm ET

I believe Wallace.....The nerve of someone with no career giving Katie Couric a helping hand.....What a laugh......Katie showed strength just by giving her the time of day.....Too funny....

Jim   November 14th, 2009 3:16 pm ET

The Palin lies continue. Thank God she is not the VP. It's about time John McCain is honest with the American public with what he truly believes today about this self serving woman. Her greatest lie is that she is a Christian.

Despite the Christian label she tries to so actively sell to the public, she shows no true Christian traits at all. She does not love her neighbor as herself, instead she worships the "Golden Calf" i.e. money, above all else. She guards her personal freedoms but en ies others theirs. The proof is how she how she resists giving any help to aid individuals being hurt by the recession which the Republicans, in the most part, created. She says that she opposes abortion but she doesn’t want to help families or single women after these babies are born.

What she really opposes is an individual’s right to chose. If you oppose abortion don’t have one. But give people the freedom to make their own choices between themselves and their God.

She claims to be pro life, yet she supports unjust wars, the death penalty and opposes universal heath care. But of course, she loves her guns so she can defend herself against those heathen liberals. She seeks revenge at every opportunity, rather than turning the other cheek. She knowingly lies, aka, “bearing false witness” and spreads fear, panic and venomous hate. Claiming to be Christian certainly doesn't make it so.

fbythesea   November 14th, 2009 3:15 pm ET

Sarah Palin clearly is rushing to cash in on her 15 minutes of fame. Soon enough, she'll just be a funny story and still good material for comedians. She should stop blaming others for her embarrassing appearance with Katie Couric. She was clueless about the most basic facts and should pick up a book or two before having someone else write one on her behalf.

Party Purity will never bring Political Power!   November 14th, 2009 3:12 pm ET

Looks like the Palin tome has a new title, "Going Rogue, an American LIE".

Captain John   November 14th, 2009 3:09 pm ET

Palin's record for truthfulness is pathetic, even for a politician.

Eyes Wide Open   November 14th, 2009 3:09 pm ET

Wow, another journalistic low.

So this is supposed to be a "news" article?

Wallace denies the "gist" and "specifics" of the article and then of course gets allot of questions asked of her and of which there is plenty of detail, right? Wrong.

This is like High School, well she said, then she said.

Again, when a liberal lies, the media doesn't go immediately out of their way to find someone to dispute the story. Usually it will take a day or two for the media to get around to the criticism and then there's an attempt to verify what someone says.

CNN appears to want to make sure any detractors of Palin will get IMMEDIATE and UNQUESTIONED attention. So have at it, LIberals CNN will give you free airtime and publicity if you are willing to call Palin a liar, no proof necessary!!

Bacchus999   November 14th, 2009 3:03 pm ET

Surprise Palin is a liar. Someday the neocons will get how unworthy this woman is of all the hoopla

dave   November 14th, 2009 3:01 pm ET

I love the proof readers of this story. The title of this book of lies SHOULD be 'Going Rouge' as it is stated in the story above (at least until someone wises up), but i believe the title is reallyu 'Going Rogue' (which is also a joke)

jtsilver2th   November 14th, 2009 3:00 pm ET

Tell me this all of you liberals- Miss Sarah is perfectly capable of making up her own facts and she writ out her story real nice.

Now these Washington DC people need to accept the truth- If Sarah Palin hadn't of picked that liberal John McCain to be on her ticket she would have been sittin real purty in the Whites House today. Cuz McCain lost the election for her supportin things like the Wall Street bailout and refusin to go to Michigan etc.

dwight huth   November 14th, 2009 3:00 pm ET

The real question remains did Sarah Palin prematurely opt to abort her last term in office just to spend her contributor's money on herself instead of campaigning on the issues? It seems like more and more these days that the conservatives are nothing more then a reality t.v. program being ran by the Fox News agency.

Abby   November 14th, 2009 3:00 pm ET

Why are we still talking about this dumb woman? Every word out of her dumb mouth is an innuendo, a cliche, or an out and out lie. The saddest thing about Sarah Palin is that she doesn't realize that the American public knows that she is a moron. And like most morons, she just can't stop talking long enough to realize it.

I think it is interesting that she went out of her way to disparage Katie Couric and to embarrass Nicolle Wallace. When you read between the lines of the statements attributed to both of these women, it isn't hard to see that Mrs. Palin most definitely has a problem with strong, intelligent women. Why? Because she knows that she cannot compete with them on any level. Everything that comes out of her under-educated mouth does nothing but out her for the idiot she is.

As the story goes, John McCain did not spend much time with Mrs. Palin before picking her as his running mate.

I have no doubt that that is true - and that McCain, who is nothing but an elderly bore, needed something to ignite his failing campaign.

All Palin did was sink it, him and herself.

I cannot wait for the day when her name is no longer mentioned. I really can't.

dick delson   November 14th, 2009 3:00 pm ET

Sarah Palin joins the ranks of George W. Bush. Like Bush, she too is a moron. And John McCain must have been drunk on something when he picked her to be his VP running mate. It took here 6 years to get through four colleges, one of which I've never heard of. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the GOP puts her up for President in 2012. Can't you just wait for her to debate President Obama with her maverick nonsense.

pikerover   November 14th, 2009 2:59 pm ET

Sure Palin wanted Fox....... Fox is the mouthpiece of the Right Wing. Fox would have tossed softball questions at her. Questions she could have understood.

Dylan from MN   November 14th, 2009 2:59 pm ET

Wow, Palin a liar? I'm so stunned. *rolls eyes*

CTSadler   November 14th, 2009 2:57 pm ET

Ok, I get why this piece would be in the ticker, McCain is still a relevant politician (albeit only slightly.) But the other four articles a day in here on Palin are more than unnecessary. Did you guys follow Tom Delay through every move he made on that stupid dance show? Palin is no longer a politician. She's an entertainer, if anything, and now should be treated as such. Here relevance is about the same as a Jon Gosselin or a Fergie. Perhaps you should do an entertainment "Ticker," or perhaps a new category for all of these ex-politicians who move on to more lucrative pastures, "Politainment."

maf   November 14th, 2009 2:56 pm ET

This will be great! Palin's book comes out and one by one, those she has written about will come forward and denounce what is said. I won't have to buy the book, chapter by chapter will be shredded right here on CNN.

Do you still get to call a Governor who quit her post before the end of her first term a Governor, or is it ex-Governor, or is it just QUITTER!

Let the trouncing begin.

katiec   November 14th, 2009 2:55 pm ET

With her quitting her term of governor when Alaska was in a mess proves Palin does not, will not accept responsibility and blames
others for any mistake, all lack of credibility she shows.
Like a typical republican she points her finger at others while thumping her Bible while commiting unChristian activities.

seg   November 14th, 2009 2:55 pm ET

When Nicolle Wallace writes her book, I'll buy it.

Shane   November 14th, 2009 2:54 pm ET

She's lying? No! Not Sarah! She has never lied!!!!

Clark   November 14th, 2009 2:53 pm ET

Anybody that has ever dealt with the staffers of high level politicians knows how arrogant and "protective" of their "charges" they can be and usually are.

To the point that if those people around their special politician aren't doing exactly as they are told and stand exactly where they are told ... they will keep them from getting any special favors or any help on even the simplest matters.

For example .... have a picture taken with one of these high level politicians with the politician's permission and willing participation ... but without the approval of the staffers ... you probably won't ever be able to get a copy of that picture.

Duffey   November 14th, 2009 2:52 pm ET

There is something very wrong with this woman. It's not her poltics, which she is certainly entilted to have. It's the over all behaviors, such as her vengful "tooper gate" , The manpiulation over her daugters pregnancy. The bizzare behavior on the campaign trail (McCains fault-he should have vetted her more completly). Wanting to one up McCain on a concession speach, her abrupt reignation as govenor. Finially her apparent ethics laspes that are currently being investiged.

Her delusional book is even more proof there is a "mental illness" that is involved in her over all well being. I really hope that she gets treatment for it, since it may destroy her life and leave her family motherless.

Tony L   November 14th, 2009 2:49 pm ET

This clearly shows the GOP is in disarray.
With leaders like Palin Republicans will keep divided. They will not be a viable national party with the circus they have going on. Palin is loving the celebrity status just like most of the Repubs nowadays without realizing that this looks negative on the party that claims ethical standards. The GOP party leaders are clowns in a circus preaching the country right and wrong with skeletons in their own closets. They need to solve their own internal problems before trying to solve the country's problems.

Joseph   November 14th, 2009 2:48 pm ET

Wow she bashes the campaign that made her. McCain would of been president if he didnt choose her as a running mate. Truly an embarrasment that she is an American..

Independent   November 14th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

Just one lie after another....what do you expect when the co-author is Lynn Vincent....not exacting known for telling the truth....

C. Farrell, Houston, Tx   November 14th, 2009 2:46 pm ET

I can see the law suits coming and Palin won't see a dime of her book sell.

Stevenson Democrat   November 14th, 2009 2:45 pm ET

She is more to be pitied than censured. Let her reign in peace over the nut-wing of the GOP. The fall out will help insure an Obama victory the next time around and perhaps put the GOP back on the road to sanity

Deuce   November 14th, 2009 2:44 pm ET

teflon warrior   November 14th, 2009 2:35 pm ET

Palin's the only one I see that's being honest, she gave them the best chance to win. The only smart move McCain made in the campaign.

Jonathan   November 14th, 2009 2:33 pm ET

Sarah Palin. . . Lying!????

I'm stunned.

C. Farrell, Houston, Tx   November 14th, 2009 2:33 pm ET

I bet she didn't put the following in her book: Palin didn't know the duties of a VP, didn't know Africa is a Continent, didn't have a passport, didn't know you can't see Russia from Alaska and these are questions not asked in Courics interview. Palin still blaming everyone else for her lack of qualifications to answer simple questions upon her interview with Couric. Palin can't move on because she proved to be a failure as well as being just plain stupid.

JAMEY   November 14th, 2009 2:33 pm ET

Couric is known as a fluff interviewer. Even with Couric's fluff questions Palin bombed big-time. This "interview", for lack of a better word, gave the world a window into Palin's absolute lack of knowledge about anything outside of fishing. Palin blames everyone but herself, but the truth is she was then, and is now, totally unprepared for life on a national or international stage.

LouAz   November 14th, 2009 2:30 pm ET

She said, " She said . . . "
Sounds like a Soap Opera. No wonder Rush loves it. I guess this passes as substantive policy in the New Flat Eart Party.
What a gal !

SamSixpack   November 14th, 2009 2:28 pm ET

Whereas Palin doesn't have a job, she can't really do much. Why not print something about the liars who claim they can gut Medicare without pulling the plug on somebody's grandma?

not alone   November 14th, 2009 2:26 pm ET

Sarah Fan   November 14th, 2009 2:18 pm ET

Candy, your negativity and disparaging remarks added to the facts on the report keep you from ever being considered a journalist of integrity. However, this flavoring of the news, continues to drag CNN down from it's former number 1 news source for the nation and the world into a political rag sans journalistic value to democracy or our country.

Buckeye4u   November 14th, 2009 2:14 pm ET

And the truth wins out....Palin is ,was,has been and always will be Pathetic!

Joe Smoe   November 14th, 2009 2:12 pm ET

Why would you expect anything less from the lipsticked pig.
She lives in another world far different from ours.
She has told so many lies and it has been proven that she lies.
People like her believe they are telling the turth because they don't
know the difference, it is truly pitiful

30 Year Veteran   November 14th, 2009 2:11 pm ET

Who the devil do they think they are anyway? Nobody cares for or wishes to hear about any McCain people or him anymore. PLEASE.

K in FLorida   November 14th, 2009 2:11 pm ET

Oh wow, wait a minute, I thought all of Sarah Palins supporters CLAIM that she's being attacked by the Democrats and the Media, I thought that they're all just making stuff up about Sarah Palin....?

Turns out even Republicans working for the McCain campagne see's her as being a "LYER" and NOT HONEST...

They even go on to say the Sarah Palins claims about the campagne make her appear NOT PRESIDENTIAL....

So let me get this straight, all of Palins supporters refuse to look at anything Sarah Palin does or says and connect it with how she's viewed not ONLY by Democrats, but Republicans as well....

I mean Rush Limbaugh has OPENLY stated Sarah Palins book is the most SUBSTANTIVE book he's EVER read, what a bunch a bolgne...!

Jeff, Huntington Beach, CA   November 14th, 2009 2:10 pm ET

Sarah Palin is just another who will practice dishonesty for her "greater good" being selling more books. The sad testament to all this is there are those who will lap up anything this women has to say.

Good job Sarah... you are better at telling us about your "Christianity" and "values" than showing us faith in action. People like you make Jesus look like a joke although He talked about your kind... wolf in sheep's clothing. This country is full of hypocrites.

Truly sickening...

KarolAnn   November 14th, 2009 2:07 pm ET

Sarah Palin lying to make a buck or further her personal ambitions? No, say it ain't so.

RTB   November 14th, 2009 2:03 pm ET

The Alaskan Air Head just cannot take any responsibility for being the dim wit, muttering fool she presents. It is always' the other person' who is the wrong doer. Every Moose Dropping that comes out of her mouth is simultaneously redacted and rehashed by her same sad self. The outcome of her babble is either incoherent or a blatant lie.

Mickey   November 14th, 2009 2:01 pm ET

Palin lying?!? Say it ain't so, Joe!

Of course she's lying..it's what she does best.

Sarah Palin lying............Imagine that
Everything she says is either dumb, a lie or both

Jim in Idaho   November 14th, 2009 1:59 pm ET

I hope John McCain is proud of the Frankenstein he has unleashed, a Frankenstein now throwing him, his campaign, and the Republican party....all under the Straight Talk bus. Thanks, John, for turning a limited-intellect nobody into a dangerous, divisive force in America. I'm sure the party will thank you too as she drives a wedge right down the middle in 2012.

Ben   November 14th, 2009 1:53 pm ET

Palin has just gone rogue.

Richard L   November 14th, 2009 1:53 pm ET

It is absolutely amazing how many of McCain's people apparently were actually part of the liberal media. What a sinister plot against poor Sarah Palin and the other beauty queen too! Guess liberals are a lot smarter than conservatives.

normajean   November 14th, 2009 1:53 pm ET

Anything Sarah Palin has said or done has always been infused with lies and innuendos. She is nothing more than a personality not unlike a product of Hollywood. She has neither the education,experience nor innate intellectual curiosity to ever become a viable candidate for any political office and should the powers that be push her in that direction,they will live to regret it{Which I think John McCain already does}

Ed Stack Sr   November 14th, 2009 1:49 pm ET

To begin........I am Republican and have been all my life......McCain was a very poor choice to run for our country.......he is the reason Obama won the election.......McCain could not bring his case to the young people and the young voters went to an apparent "REFRESHING" change....young people think that way......they like to shock older people because they are spoiled and uninformed......Katie Couric I have watched for years....very attractive lady but she EXPANDS the truth and wants to be known as "number one" in her industry....she is overpaid and not talented.....as for McCains advisers.....most of the dissenters are women and it is a woman thing to put down another woman....Palin....the advisers are jealous it is obvious......females are historically jealous of EVERYBODY......take it with a grain of salt........women are beautiful beings but should be born with zippers on their mouths......especially women of the media..........CNN has some REAL winners in that category........lots of physical beauty but........that is window dressing to hide the TRUTH regarding their lack of ability.........thank you

charlie in Maine   November 14th, 2009 1:48 pm ET

Hey tea partiers.

If it is about the money where were you when George W thought it would be a great idea to spend 12 million dollars an hour occupying a country that never attacked us?

I get why the health insurance companies are against Obamacare. After all wouldn't Federal Express or UPS do better if they could get rid of the Post Office and they could charge whatever the hell they wanted to send a package.

I get why the GOP leadership is against it considering how long they were out of power after they failed to stop Social Security or Medicare. But what I can't believe that any regular person would be against this.

So who is payin you guys. The GOP leadership the insurance companies or both?

Patriots??? Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave at the likes of you.

ThinkAgain   November 14th, 2009 1:47 pm ET

John McCain is either too polite or still wanting to save his political hide to give an honest assessment of what he thinks of Palin.

Her lies are just insult to injury, after what she did to his campaign.

How he can stay in the Party that so royally messed him over – from the 2000 primary through picking Palin as his running mate – is beyond me.

Ed, Santa Fe, NM   November 14th, 2009 1:46 pm ET

Find the FACT CHECKER that ran on Yahoo.... the books is nothing but lies.

ThinkAgain   November 14th, 2009 1:45 pm ET

Palin is nothing but a quitter, a liar and a mooch.

She connects with all the people out there who are not real bright, blame everyone for their problems, and justify all their bad behavior with their "faith."

They love to scapegoat and avoid personal responsibility. They proclaim moral superiority while inciting hatred, fear and division. Their ends justify their means, including using violence against those they don't like or who dare to reveal their lies and prove their incompetence.

Like Palin, they are self-centered, egotistical, terribly shallow, insecure and mean-spirited.

It's so pathetic the way people follow this woman.

Eyes Wide Open   November 14th, 2009 1:44 pm ET

This certainly beats the ticker headline on the front page from yesterday which said

"Palin claim 100% false".

I still find it curious that the media seems to really work hard to dig into Palin's claims and "fact check' them regularly yet doesn't seem to have the time to fact check books or movies by Al Gore – whose movie was held in a UK court to have something like 9 inaccuracies.

I only mind the inccessant "Fact-Checking" because they don't do it across the board. Hillary Clinton's Kosovo story went unchecked on the campaign trail for months and she was in the process of running for President.

Hard to believe McCain's advisors are disputing facts because it paints them in a bad light.

kate   November 14th, 2009 1:44 pm ET

I would not buy her book even if I only had to pay 20-cents when joining a book club and getting 5 books for a $1. And who would want to spend the time reading lies.

American Expat   November 14th, 2009 1:41 pm ET

Why does CNN even report this? It is not news that Palin is AGAIN spewing out lies; it has become her sort of trade mark and just another way to get some headlines. CNN should not rise to the bait!

Roberta   November 14th, 2009 1:40 pm ET

Oh gee, someone involved in politics lying about someone else involved in politics. How strange. And to McCain and his advisors, in the immortal words of Bob Dylan "how does it feel?"

doneb4u   November 14th, 2009 1:38 pm ET

Palin is s-o, s-o far right , she does not have the other half of her brain,
which does the thinking.

Terry from West Texas   November 14th, 2009 1:37 pm ET

So the Republican Presidential team and the Republican vice-presidential nominee are saying that each other is a bald-faced liar.

Now, how is that possible, Conservatives? Which one is lying? The one you voted for last November or the other one you voted for last November? Whichever one is lying about the other must be considered a traitor to the Conservative cause. The liar is probably a secret Liberal Communist who is a socialist sleeper, trying to get in office just so he or she can provide better health care for all Americans. Get the traitor out!

Bob of Lompoc   November 14th, 2009 1:30 pm ET

There you go again! We have another video of Palin with her mouth open. First you reported that she was thinking about writing a book. Then you reported she had decided to write a book. Then you reported she had finished the book. Then you reported about what was alleged to be in the book. Then you reported the book was on sale. Now you report that McCain got his signed copy. Why don't you show us a picture of her signature? We are all dying to see it. Yeah, the Republicans are right – "The Liberal Media". What a monster joke they are. You are not fara behind.
