Even before an ex-aide to former Gov. Sarah Palin had sold his memoir, the book -- "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years" -- has now been leaked to the media, including to a reporter at Alaska Dispatch on Thursday night.
"Blind Allegiance" is the story of Palin aide and confidant Frank Bailey's time spent working for the governor, from when she announced she was running for governor until her abrupt resignation in 2009. Heavily relying on e-mails between Bailey, Sarah and ex-First Dude Todd Palin, his memoir begins near the end of Palin's governorship with the following line:
On April 28, 2009, Sarah wrote a simple, but frequently repeated message: I hate this damn job...
Among other things, the book alleges illegal coordination between Palin and the Republican Governors Association during her 2006 governor's race, something that she denied at the time. Although Bailey knew that such coordination violated campaign laws, he writes:
As far as dealing with a guilty conscience, I'd suffer that collateral damage in silence, not daring to even discuss this with my wife.
The book ends with the following epiphany:
I will never, ever, surrender blind allegiance to anyone again, save God and family.

What a blind idiot!
Who hasn’t hated their job on occasion? One more example of Sarah’s normalcy.
Better ping Pissant;)
Palin 2012..... period.
Just another greedy, little piggy trying to cash in on Sarah Palin. It’s all about the money. Everything else is just bull****.
Nothing to see.....
This book was co-authored by Palin-hater Jeanne Devon (Mudflats) and a Huff Po writer, so no doubt it’s going to be ugly and fake.
The actual co-aide is upset because an unauthorized, unedited copy has been leaked to the press…and apparently he’s afraid that allegations he makes in the book are not 100% true (the book does not yet have a publisher.
Nutty Joe McGinnis was involved in the leak:
“An electronic copy of the book was forwarded to Alaska Dispatch reporter Craig Medred by author Joe McGinniss, who asked nothing be published prior to obtaining comment from Bailey and Devon. Bailey declined to comment Thursday night, referring questions to his agent. Devon could not be reached for comment.”
See post# 5
Here is a money quote to show you it is crap.
One of the co-authors of the book, Ken Morris, told Channel 2 the manuscript leaked was an “unauthorized draft.” Morris said the writing team’s intent was “to be 100 percent true,” but he said the whole book was subject to change.
It’s a fake!
Taking a page from Donnie boy Regan after he left as Reagan’s CoS? Jerk. I can’t wait for the books to come out about Obammie after he’s gone. So I guess good for the goose... right?
There ya go. The real story should be all these authors’ backgrounds.
What a yawn.
One more Leftist dupes a dunce, crafts a few emails, exagerates them and tries to call it a book.
Ho Hum.
Which is why the people over at MSNBC will probably be looking at giving him his own show.
Keeping in mind what was going on in 2009...I’m not the least bit surprised she hated the job at that point. It would have taken pretty much inhuman detachment not to. I’m frankly shocked she didn’t say “screw this nonsense” well before she actually did.
And if you believe that evil shenanigans actually happened between Sarah Palin and the RGA in 2006, and all involved managed to keep their mouths shut about it for four years until this book came out, including two years of intense press and opposition-research scrutiny, I have an island in the Bering Strait I’d like to sell you. 2.8 square miles, Russia view.
Mega-hit piece by political enemy PING!!!
You missed an article.
Please people, stop pinging pissant to Sarah threads. He has nothing new to contribute and he’s becoming boring.
Plus he takes over threads. He says something outrageous and hateful. People respond. He says something worse. People respond.
I’m tried of pissant threads.
At some point, Palin will have enough evidence to prove actual malice . . .
I disagree - it’s like weight training.
Don’t feed the trolls. Don’t send the trolls engraved invitations!
Yep, McGinnis the stalker. Todd is now completely vindicated in putting that big fence up to shield his home and family from this two-bit hustler.
