Sarah Palin's new book leaks to liberal blogs

Sarah Palin's second book is due out next week. It is called "America by Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag," although if the leaked excerpts are any indication a lot of it seems to be "reflections on stuff Sarah Palin saw on TV."

The book is also about how Levi Johnston is still a craven, awful monster. And babies Tripp and Trig are still little accidental angels that everyone is very happy were not aborted. And the Tea Parties are good and Michelle Obama is an awful, embittered reverse-racist.

Besides the requisite airing of personal grudges, the book seems wholly indistinguishable from an effort by any randomly selected right-wing radio host.

The book tour begins Nov. 23. And because the excerpts ended up on liberal, anti-Palin sites, Palin is very upset.

The publishing world is LEAKING out-of-context excerpts of my book w/out my permission? Isn't that illegal?

Would that it were illegal to report on the intellectual output of Sarah Palin, political commentator and social critic! Politico would be a lot thinner every weekday.

1. I tell my kids that reading *any* book is better than watching TV.

There are a few exceptions.

6. This one does sound like one of those rare brain-cell killers.

2. It's not any more illegal, Sarah,

that you using unauthorized video of Joe McGinniss sitting on his porch reading a book in your reality show.

12. They FILMED him?

I thought building the giant fence was a bit extreme, but I had no idea they filmed the guy.

13. Yeah. The evil bastid was sitting on his porch!1!!

But his worst offense? He was READING!1!! Can you imagine? The horror!1!! :rofl:

14. Sarah was heard during the show asking Todd to drill a hole in the fence

so she could see if McGinniss was spying on them. McGinniss threatened to sue if they used his image in the show, but rather than cut out the whole segment, they just pixelated his face. I hope he sues the bejeezus out of them.



Here's the whole story, as reported at The Mudflats:

3. Wow, looks like Tina Fey gained a lot of weight. Oh, wait... n/t

[gratuitous]

4. Not exactly the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree, is our Sarah?

Uh oh, now I'll get tarred as being involved in the War on Christmas.

[tularetom]

5. She can turn ANY situation into her vs. everybody

And no matter what the result is she is always the victim.

In the dictionary next to the words "passive aggressive" you will find a big ugly ass picture of her.

8. Do mama Grislys shave their ass??

Just wondering

[REP]

7. The Dumb is strong in this one

That's hilarious.

9. David Frum's reaction:

via Andrew Sullivan's site:

"That last tweet by @SarahPalinUSA sums up in 140 characters why this person should never be allowed any authority over any police force ever. "

10. She'll fix that when she's elected dictator.

[nolabear]

11. I see Sarah has her usual steel-trap mind understanding of our legal system.

Madame President might want to take a couple night courses.

15. Rove's mantra was to go after your enemies greatest strength and change that

into a liability. Look what he did to Kerry's war record. Palin is going after Michelle Obama who is hugely popular. Is Rove giving Palin advice or is it some other psychopath?
