Support Conservatism!

“Human Events”, the redoubtable weekly conservative newspaper, is offering Sarah Palin’s book, as well as others, as part of a nice subscription deal.

I hope she makes a lot more. And I hope the people who were trying to bankrupt her choke on it.

Last sentence in the AP article is...

Palin will appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" the day before the book's release of her book.

Palin has two books. One is releasing the other.Or maybe Oprah is a book. Or something.

The media will go nuts about this. Nevermind the millions in retainers for the Clintons, or the millions in bogus book buys by the unions for RATS.

I ordered two from Amazon, I don’t like Amazon but they are selling them at 9.00 a copy, some kind of book war with some other store. Can’t beat that price.

I'm gonna stock up on extra copies as Christmas gifts for the family. They'll love their own copies not only to read but also to display that beautiful, bright and determined face on their coffee tables!

Unfortunately, she had to take out a home loan to help pay for the $600,000 legal fees fighting the false allegations. (http://community.adn.com/adn/node/144603)

The Clinton's got millions from the Chinese as "book purchases"... and Zero probably did, as well, from Soros.

This is one people will actually want to read...

The following content was provided by the publisher.

From her humble beginnings to her time in the spotlight as the first female Republican Vice President candidate, Sarah Palin has led an extraordinary life. Going Rogue will recount her political experiences, her time as Mayor of Wasilla and as the first female governor of Alaska, as well as her rapid rise on the national stage during the 2008 campaign. Additionally, she'll share insights into the personal challenges she's faced including balancing her time as a working mother, recognizing the war's impact with hher son serving combat in Iraq, having a child with a disability and supporting her teenage daughter with an unplanned pregnancy.

Who knows? Suffice it to say that Palin doesn't have to sweat those legal bills any more. She'll make well into seven figures.

Probably, and we will know when she gets her first royalties.

She is down to #6 on the best sellers, but STILL #6 with 3 more weeks before release.
