“Going Rogue,” the title of Sarah Palin’s erratic new memoir, comes from a phrase used by a disgruntled McCain aide to describe her going off-message during the campaign: among other things, for breaking with the campaign over its media strategy, its decision to pull out of Michigan and for speaking out about reports that the Republican Party had spent more than $150,000 on fancy designer duds for her and her family. In fact, the most sustained and vehement barbs in this book are directed not at Democrats or liberals or the press, but at the McCain campaign. The very campaign that plucked her out of Alaska, anointed her the G.O.P.’s vice presidential nominee and made her one of the most talked about women on the planet — someone who could command a reported $5 million for writing this book.

Besides, how is it that every media outlet so far has pretty much used the same examples in their reports.
Have any of you in the media actually read the book or are you just reporting on what you read in other media articles?
Notice how the practice the usual Leftist gutter slime PR tactics. They don't bother to address the substance of the issue, they merely resort to personal attacks on the messenger.
>>The very campaign that plucked her out of Alaska, anointed her the G.O.P.’s vice presidential nominee and made her one of the most talked about women on the planet
Yeah. Right...
The very campaign that plucked her out of Alaska, made her the VP nominee with the intent of blaming McLame’s inevitable loss on her, and then hiding her and stabbing her in the back when she became one of the most talked about women on the planet.
I can’t wait for the 24th when she’ll be at my local Books-A-Million signing her book.
The next to go
Palin's payoff
Will see your layoff
Go Sarah!
She should be grateful for what to the moles within the McCain “campaign”? Steve Schmidt and Nicolle Wallace? The two RINOs who spread disgusting lies about Palin not knowing what Africa is? That she “received staffers, wearing only a towel”? That she bought clothes worth “$500,000”? That she was pushed into liberal hack attack “interviews”?
Grateful?
Sarah is part of your Death Panel. Enjoy.
This is funny coming from the NYSlimes who did everything they could do to destroy not only Sarah but McLame also...now all of a sudden they’re his defenders? Yeah, right! It’s all about their absolute fear of Sarah and their new found love of “The Maverick”!
Sarah is part of your Death Panel. Enjoy.
Better get up early.
My favorite sentence in the review: “In “Going Rogue,” Ms. Palin talks perfunctorily about fiscal responsibility and a muscular foreign policy, and more passionately about the importance of energy independence, but she is quite up front about the fact that much of her appeal lies in her just-folks, “hockey Mom” ordinariness.”
“Perfunctorily about fiscal policy...” and just what would the Times know about that?
Pre ordered, should be here after the 17th, can’t wait.
Reading “America Alone”, Mark Steyn, while I wait, scary book.
Hey NY Slimes, kiss my ass..that is all
They don’t bother to address the substance of the issue, they merely resort to personal attacks on the messenger.
:::::::::
It is all they can do. They cannot argue substance or facts — they would lose every time. Personal attacks, lies and distortions are all these filthy wretches can come up with.
It’s just the NYT bloviating...nothing to see here...move on along.
Mark Steyn is a brilliant writer and that is a brilliant book.
Sure is sweet of the Times to look out for McQueeg like that.
“The very campaign that plucked her out of Alaska, anointed her the G.O.P.’s vice presidential nominee....”
.
Let’s stop right there. Neither Palin nor McCain ever questioned their opponent’s legal prerequisite for the presidency. Isn’t that the first thing any politician does when evaluating his opponent?
They’re either dumb or they were participants in a conspiracy to defraud the American electorate. (Think about McCain’s statement that Obama would make a good president.) Even today, the two are silent regarding this matter.
