Similar book jackets on competing Palin tomes cause cover confusion

Call it the case of the Sarah Palin book-alikes.

The competing covers of a pair of high-profile hardcovers about Sarah Palin are already proving difficult to distinguish.

"Going Rogue: An American Life," the long-awaited memoir from the former Republican vice-presidential nominee, arrived on bookstore shelves today.

So did "Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare," which features similar book-jacket graphics and a nearly identical cover photo of the controversial former Alaska governor.

An online version of a Canadian Press story about Palin's book carried the wrong cover image for about three hours early Tuesday; the cover of "Going Rouge" was also used to illustrate a piece during CBC's "The National" on Monday night.

You got that right! Let’s get 11 journalists to fact check the book and see what they come up with.

Basis for a monster lawsuit - proving confusion in the mind of consumers and potential for findings of damages.

I wouldn't worry about this.
Palin supporters are smart folks and we can recognize which cover is which.

When was the last time somebody made a parody of a politician’s book?

That hag Susan Estrich did it. They must have had to have photoshopped her for eight hours to get the eyes to think for one minute that it was Ann Coulter's book, but they tried...

LOL

Smell the fear.

Hey Liberals!

STFU and start liking Sarah because she is our next President.

How about “Dreams of My Alcoholic Sucidal Muslim Marxist Father” by William Ayers.

[wac3rd]

I did the same thing, it seems as if she has re-emerged as a lot sharper sounding than the “Aw Shucks” Sarah of 2008.

I was hollering with joy after her Rush interview!

I did not know she did that. I Googled the covers and was horrified. What a slimy gutless thing to do. She probably wouldn’t have sold one book if she hadn’t done the cover like that. (Did Estrich sell any books?)

Yeah, now I’m catching parts of her Barbra WA WA interview
outtakes.

Good point.

Let’s publish Dreams from my Fuhrer and see what happens.

The last time I saw Susan Estrich on TV, I hardly recognized her. She’s had a LOT of work done on her face. I only recognized her because of that Harvey Fierstein, gravel gertie voice.
