In this radio piece, done for Sarah Palin’s birthday, the hosts in Alaska bring up the book “Rendezvous with Destiny”, which is about Ronald Reagan’s 1980 run for the presidency.
Has anyone read it?
The hosts talk about all the similarities between now and then, and between Palin and Reagan at this point.
They also talk about how stupid the MSM is…and how easily Palin gets under their skin. She jokes about writing things on her hand that she wants the press to talk about, and how they just fall for whatever she sets them up for. The woman plays those Leftists like a harp. It’s wonderful.
Palin also talks about going to Daytona for NASCAR, mentions Piper’s in the play “Annie”, and that Todd is getting ready for the Iron Dog race (February 19th).
We’re really curious to read “Rendezvous with Destiny” now…and realized that the whole time we were listening to this radio clip, we were smiling wide and hanging on every word the Governor said.
2012 can’t get here soon enough folks. 32 years after Reagan beat Carter, history looks set to repeat itself.
I just started it and as a political junkie and admirer/voter of Reagan, I can tell I’m gonna love it. The book has gotten rave reviews in conservative circles. It will apparently be THE definitive book on Reagan’s “wilderness years”.
BTW, the book is 600+ pages of fairly small print with an additional 100 pages of source notes. The author, Craig Shirley, spent a lot of time researching this.
FYI, the HillBuzz guys have an excellent column ( and excellent comments by readers, including Yers Trooly... ) up on the type of government we should have:
“Question: What do you think America should be, and what sort of government should we have?”
Sarah has them eating out of her hands.
This is hilarious to know that she did it on purpose! I was almost sure of that but she confirms it. This is sooo bright and sharp for a supposed “dummy”. I really love this woman. And this stupid MSM and Gibbs fall right in the trap. TOO GOOD! If she runs, she WILL win! She is that good.
I got the book for Christmas and am reading thru it now. Its a big book so it will be a project. The writer wrote a book a few years ago about Reagan’s 1976 campaign and that was a pretty good book and this book about the 1980 campaign has received nice reviews.
