I think that simply agreeing to have the book pulled from the shelves would tend to feed into the lunatic left conspiracy nuts that this book was kept from the American public. The author and publisher need to be publicly humiliated in a court room, under oath and made an example. This needs to go BIG in order to prove that all of these disgusting smears were false and politically motivated.
LOL. Remember that flap about Palin censoring library books?
"You want to see how I pull a book off a shelf? Watch this, you #$%&#!"
Absolutely right on all counts!
I look at this from the standpoint of trying to put myself in Palin’s shoes... For 3+ years, she and her family/children have been subject to a near constant barrage of attacks on her professional life, her personal life, and their personal lives. New “ground” in “journalism” has certainly been broken...accusing someone of faking a pregnancy! (on top of all the other ludicrous accusations). The media has invested countless millions of $$ attempting to destroy this woman. Yet, as we all have marveled, she keeps plugging on, smiling, optimistic, serving as a source of inspiration for many. But, she’s only human and no one could withstand that sustained, high octane, viciously personal barrage without it having some effect. Perhaps, this “book”, done by someone who forthrightly stalked her and her family in the most intimate forms possible, is the breaking point and she wants to put an end to the “open season” on the Palin family. I would imagine she would go through with this, Prez run or not. She does not seem like someone who you would want to make tremendously angry. I can envision a “Carrie”-like scenario (in legal terms, not literally, of course) where she will make such a definitive statement as to take the personal Palin family “issues” off the table and serve notice to wannabees like Letterman and the other uber-Left snark-meisters that there are consequences to their actions.
Just MHO, of course...
