Reading her book goes a LONG way to knowing the real Sarah...as well as separating the truth from the fiction about her.
The problem is that some people choose to remain willfully ignorant, thus they won’t read Palin’s book or even bother to find out if the latest rumor about her is true or not.
If you asked 100 random people what they know most about Sarah Palin, I guarantee that at least half would parrot the “I can see Russia from my house.” falsehood.
