She is seriously beautiful....inside and out.

Just imagine how the MSM would be worshipping at her feet if she were a liberal....it would make their slobbering over the fakester Obama look like a 1 day teenage crush.

I think the establishment on both sides of the aisle are scared to death of her.

‘Palin might be wise to withhold further advance copies of future books while there are sleazy publishers out there doing this.’

Advance copies are also known as review copies. Book publishers send them out to Magazines, newspapers,TV and radio stations, so that these folks will have a review ready to publish at the Book’s official publishing date or soon after. These copies come with an embargo date, basically forbidding release of the contents until the official publishing date.

Looks like she just came out of church with one of those Giant Bibles. Is it?

IIRC, that was taken when she was backstage before a conference. It’s her notes.

The photo was taken by Glenn Beck’s libtard photographer, before the start of Restoring Honor Rally on August 28, 2010, while she was standing all alone, off to the side, praying... She stood there silently praying for 10 minutes. The photographer told Glenn, that he was so moved, that he changed his mind about her.

Gawker did not immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment Friday evening, but an item published the day before and titled "Sarah Palin Is Mad at Us for Leaking Pages From Her Book" defended the blog's actions and linked to websites defining the fair use doctrine of copyright law.

There's no "fair use" about it---Sarah is now a private citizen and Gawker illegally re-published to the web protected portions of her copyrighted work. This illustrates the sheer genius behind her decision to resign as governor and take the fight to the MSM as a private citizen---outfits like the Gawker can't treat her like a public official and defenseless punching bag anymore.

Sue their pants off!

She needs to pick a target and make an example of them. Gawker is as good as any.

There's no one hungrier to sue than a defendant who has been continually victimized by crooked, rapacious trial lawyers. Only the ideal defendant is a rapacious trial lawyer.

Might be almost as much fun as shooting wolves from a helicopter.

They are a scum organization.

Their technology reporting division (Gizmodo) bought a stolen prototype iPhone4, and is now under threat of lawsuit from Apple.

They weren’t simply excerpts. They were actual photographs of a number of pages from a copy of the book.

Gawker is a real piece of work. I get the impression that its staffed by people who never matured much beyond high school adolescence. Pull-my-finger-lol-lol-lol types.

When they were willing to pay for stolen goods (the iPhone 4), it was clear what kind of people are behind Gawker.

It's amusing to me that they hide behind a claim of journalism in their legal troubles over that incident and yet have a history of doing things even tabloids would not do.

I block their site now so I don't accidentally follow a link there and give them page hits and ad revenue.

Gawker is also the site that paid for and published that slime ‘one night stand’ story on Christine O'Donnell. Lovely folks.

The idiots at Gawker should have known what was coming after Palin tweeted the question, "Isn't that illegal?"

Tweet from Rebecca Mansour: Dear Gawker,when she asks a rhetorical question,it's cuz we're about to deliver the answer.Have fun w HarprCollns' lawyrs http://is.gd/hstI6

Why sue Gawker? Because they've got big-bucks financial backing. Looks like HarperCollins is serious.

Rebecca is Sarah’s great unsheathed weapon-—just wait until she is finally turned loose on the MSM.

Thank you, onyx, for the background of that pix. It’s truly is a moving story. Amazing how she changes hearts just by being herself. Those who despise/ridicule her, do so because of what’s in them and has nothing to do about Sarah.
