Reading Sarah Palin’s best-selling memoir-cum-manifesto, "Going Rogue," is a lot like staring at an accident victim; you’re not sure you should do it, but you can’t help wondering what happened ...

The book, which was co-written by the features editor of a bimonthly evangelical Christian magazine, uses plain language to the point that it reads like a biography in a middle-school library. The authors managed to capture the "oh-gosh-you-betcha" Palin vernacular that ... deadly in a 400-page dose ...

Remarkably, she would have her readers believe that she was conned into doing the most famous interview of the 2008 campaign by her own aide Nicolle Wallace, who told her that Katie Couric "really likes you." Her worst campaign moments, she says, were the product of the gotcha instincts of "most media types." Hard to believe from a woman who has a journalism degree ...

Seeing as how that worked so well for her and her little old buddy in the 08 campaign.

Rogue is about all she had going for her.

3. This truly does belong here in the Fiction forum

Most of the book is fantasy, right?

4. Palin speaks just like Bush senior, in snippets and soundbites. They may have taken his program out

and put it in Palin.

5. One thing about her is that

no matter how much polish you try to put on it, she can never get away from who she really is. That will always be her downfall, just like Katherine Harris. Folks like this can't outmaneuver themselves or run fast enough to evade their own shadows.
