Sarah Palin looking for book deal worth $11 Million...

[cynatnite]

If you thought being governor of Alaska and a new grandmother would be enough to fill the cold, dark nights in the Arctic state, you underestimate Sarah Palin, the failed vice presidential candidate.

Palin has reportedly enlisted the services of Robert Barnett, the Washington lawyer who represented President Obama, would-be President Hillary Rodham Clinton and former President Bill Clinton in their multimillion-dollar book deals.

snip:
The economy could also be a factor in how much Palin, whose family is not wealthy, could earn from any book. In recent months, reports of her wanting as much as $11 million for her memoirs have surfaced, though she could get far less. Former First Lady Laura Bush just sold her memoirs for less than $2 million.

But there is more than money at stake. Palin has been trying to stay in the spotlight, presumably with an eye on 2012, and a book could help as well as giving her some sort of a base beyond Alaska.

1. Yeah, well so am I

I, at least, can write.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

2. Never..........

I predict that she won't get anything close to that figure.

[4 t 4]

3. Sarah who ?

[rvablue]

4. Just more evidence of her narcisstic arrogance. n/t

[alsame]

5. Can you imagine if she writes like

she talks? :rofl: :rofl:

I pity the editor.

[Jazzgirl]

18. I think the correct phrase is if she can

"also too" write like she talks. :-)

[az chela]

6. Ignore the bitch and she will have to go away

Who wants a comic book about her???

[dipsydoodle]

7. What will it's title be

"You betcha" :rofl:

[Blue_In_AK]

8. Maybe she plans to give the proceeds to the western Alaska

Native villages that are currently forced to choose between whether to stay warm or feed their kids. :sarcasm:

[TheKentuckian]

9. 11 million for a coloring book???

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Fire1]

11. LMAO!!!

[devilgrrl]

16. damn - you beat me to it.

:blush:

[GoesTo11]

10. Sounds like a lot for a self-written vanity project

You know she won't be forthcoming and she hasn't done much interesting and doesn't have interesting views on anything at all.

[AlCzervik]

12. it's time for her parents to sit her down like they should have years ago and tell

her the truth, you aren't that cute or special.

[Caliman73]

13. Someone is going to have to Ghostwrite that shit.

Cause if she writes anything like she speaks, that book is going to be a piece of shit. The gall of her shopping around for a book deal. Did President Obama or SOS Clinton have to go looking? I assume that they received offers. Hell, I think even Laura Bush probably had some interest from publishers about how she put up with the dickhead in chief. Who the hell cares about what Palin thinks, we've already seen the depth or lack thereof at which she thinks. I can't see anything in that book of any interest unless you want to hear about the meth capitol of Alaska, teenage pregnancy, killing animals, and how intellectually bankrupt she is.

17. A lot of people shop book deals...

That's normal, but what will be surprising is who is stupid enough to pay more than a buck for her tell-all book. She's gonna drag down however many repukes she can.

Might actually be fun to watch. :evilgrin:

[Caliman73]

23. I know that is true

Usually though, those people have interesting stories to tell. Maybe she and Joe the idiot wannabe plumber can co author a book about how Republicans love stupid people to be their leaders and spokespeople.

[Naturyl]

14. I bet the ghostwriter gets peanuts.

These people are the type to try to get the work done for a nickel and make a mint.

Keep an eye on those freelance writing sites where people offer to work for $2 an hour. You might see the job posted there.

[devilgrrl]

15. That's a awfully large advance for a coloring book

:crazy:

[Catshrink]

19. It'll sell..

The religious whack jobs who loved her (bless her heart) will eat it up. The uneducated narrow love the uneducated narrow.

[Clear Blue Sky]

20. That'll buy a lot of snowmobiles...

[tanyev]

21. Is that in American dollars or Wasilla dollars?

[KamaAina]

22. I think I can probably cover that

:P
