Whoa, whoa whoa...so she acknowledges employing the use of a collaborator, someone who knows how to tighten up copy, edit, and write (something not uncommon among non-pros in the industry) and that means she didn't author the book?
Say what?

NEW YORK — Sarah Palin has finished her memoir just four months after the book deal was announced. Her publisher says the release date has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17.
Harper publisher Jonathan Burnham says the former Alaska governor invested herself deeply and passionately in the project. He says the book contains fascinating detail.
The 400-page book is the first for Palin, who has been an object of fascination since Republican Sen. John McCain chose her as his running mate during his 2008 presidential bid. The book will be called "Going Rogue: An American Life."
A huge first printing of 1.5 million copies has been commissioned by Harper,...

Perhaps She Will Be ‘Sharpening’ Her ‘Skills’ like a Momma Grizzley !
AP has just updated that the ebook will not be released until Dec. 26, to maximize hardcover sales.
“new/used/eaten by a dog”
Y’know, chewed by a dog, I’d go for. Eaten by a dog - I dunno...
Colonel, USAFR
FReepers are so dang picky !!! sheesh !!! :oP
Wonder if PravdABDNC is going to like it??
Pray for America and Gov Palin
Nope. This one, I am preordering on Amazon. Or maybe I'll go the barnes and nobles the first day it is out. I love to try to get a reaction from the cashiers.
November 17th is a Tuesday and Tuesday is my day off, so I’ll rush out and buy it the first day its out.
Wouldn’t be funny if there people lined up at the bookstores to buy Palin’s book? The MSM and other assorted Palin haters would have a fit.
The book will be sold out before its even released. Bank on it! Pre-release is gonna be insane
There are some issues I agree strongly with Sarah Palin on, abortion, the need for a strong defense, and drilling our own oil, etc"
What an absolute idiot....and no surprise the poster is from MA. No doubt, PDS will grow even more acute among the communists.
OH YEAH I buy that book
oh, buy it in person.......tell everyone you see in the store you cannot wait to start reading it!
The title is so IN YOUR FACE to the RINOS and media. I love it!

Look at definitions of “rogue” used as an adjective, not a noun:
“Vicious and solitary. Used of an animal, especially an elephant.”
“Large, destructive, and anomalous or unpredictable: a rogue wave; a rogue tornado.”
“Operating outside normal or desirable controls.”
Oddly enough, the B&N people are perfectly nice. here Maybe I’ll drive to a more Democratic town and buy it there :)
I was really expecting a reaction when I bought “Liberal Fascism” and didn’t even get a look of disgust.
The problem with used books is that none of the royalties get passed on to the author or publisher. That’s not a sin but it’s a problem if you want Sarah Palin to get a slice of your purchase price and it’s not that hard to find best sellers at 40% off at book stores and Amazon.
Yes, but if anything it has a more negative connotation than maverick (which I never want to hear uttered again). And again I think her challenge is to come across as solid and reliable operating within our established institutions—while still cleaning them up. Her unconventional outsider bona fides I think are already well established.
But again, I’m nobody’s political consultant and I’m glad she’s going to be out on the circuit again soon.
I actually enjoyed most of the LATimes’s writeup on it:

Try the Miriam Webster dictionary:

She’s a rebel. The Emperor’s agents in Episode 5 called them “Rebel scum.”
I’m sure Emperor Obamatine I is of the same opinion.
