what is in sarah palin’s new book?

Must remember to tell Al that when Sarah says to apply rouge to the apples of the cheeks, she meant the other ones.

Al Gore is so full of it he should avoid open flames.

now THERE is a good rumour. please excuse me while i go and flog it to a tabloid.

Yes, she really said that and no, it doesn't make sense...she said it, remember...lol? Annie

a quick bullet to the head is a reasonably humane way to kill potatoes. btw did palin really say that? it doesn't make much sense.

I hate to correct you but "Going Rogue" was written by a ghost writer. Annie

@laglen i haven't read her first one so have no idea whether it contains make-up tips or not. nobody knows for sure what is in 'me and my potatoes' yet. al gore?. oh yes that unemployed american politician pretending to know about science. i am sure his work would be full of waffle. climate change BY dummies has already been done all over the internet already btw (from idiots on both sides) @annie - why did palin get a ghost writer anyway? wasn't she looking for a new job at the time so had plenty of spare time, and doesn't she have a degree or standard grade or something in journalism so presumably CAN write a basic autobiography? tut tut, bit lazy really...

laglen, congratulations on reading Sarah's book. I did, too and found it fascinating. I have discovered that most people trampling on its contents haven't bothered to actually read it and have not a clue what it's about. Naturally, knowing so little about it, they believe themselves capable of discussing it rationally. In reading it, I discovered a lady with a terrific sense of family, warm humor and who tended to compliment even those people who were out to destroy her. What a change from 'politics as usual'. And, having not read the book, but listened only to talking points, people have no idea how much it was costing her family to battle lame ethics claims since Alaska DOES NOT pay the bills for such things, but insists that the governor pays her or his own way. Since these false claims, all of which she was absolved, were coming in at dozens a day and each one had to be answered with thousands and thousands of sheets of paper EACH, she discovered she could no longer do the job for which she was hired. Of course, most people who listened to Saturday Night Live also think she said I can see Russia from my back door. That isn't what she said. She said you can see Russia from Alaska's shores - and she is right - you can. But heaven forbid, truth get in the way of destroying a person! It's so much more fun to rip and shred not only a candidate, but her family, too! It's especially fun to make fun of a Downs syndrome child, who will never know his own 'crime' was being born with a more loving and more forgiving heart than all the 'normal' nasty people. Gee, wonder why Obama's girls weren't brought in as fresh meat for the ripping crowd? Because when the jackals come out, it's usually from the left. Their children are sacred,but children on the right are ripe for the killin'. If the politicians don't do it, they make darned sure to leak just enough false info to carve the opponents family to ribbons. What they didn't count on was a woman and her family, who love each other so much, they depend on each other, not outsiders to make them feel confident and to keep them going. VERY SMART FAMILY. In her book, as well as in her campaign, I found a woman who had to decide whether, like most politicians, she would turn her back on her principles when put to the test. She admitted she saw why some women might destroy a child like her youngest, but she couldn't bring herself to destroy life. Because, like it or not, that baby is LIFE, not just an inconvenience. She had to decide whether when her teenage daughter was pregnant, she could stand by her principles once more. It was amazing that, as a politician, she chose family above all else. I also discovered the huge difference between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats stand by their party members no matter how wrong they are, but Republicans lack the backbone to stand up for anyone. I'm a conservatist, but have a real problem saying I'm a Republican or Democrat. Both are pathetic at this point. Why, oh, why would Sarah possibly have a ghost writer? Could it be because she does more in an hour than most do in a full day? Good old Hillary used ghost writers and, since the double standard I see is considered false, it must be because she's lazy. After all, if one person using a ghost writer is lazy, then anyone else doing the same must be equally lazy, right? That goes for Bill Clinton, and surprise! Mr. Obama, too, in spite of the inability of his adoring crowd to accept it. Once again, laglen, it's nice hearing from someone who actually took time to read the book before talking about it. Well done.

That won't do. Obama does bail outs, so he might be interested in your book. The more he spends, the happier he is. I'm certain he would like to tell everyone how to bankrupt a country in record time! A good name for his book could be, "Mister, Can You Spare a Potato? ('cause we had to pay all of ours to China.)

thankyou, i'm am going to add this to rollo's scandal involving gore, palin and oddly used make up and get even bigger bucks [phones editor of the sun]

you don't know what you are missing. I don't know what you are missing either since it comes just below jonathan ross's efforts on my reading list.

you mash swedes? right sandra give fjaril back to thea RIGHT NOW !

I never mashed that particular swede, honest!

maybe she learned how to spell first?

what did you learn?

the potato never falls far from the tree

She allegedly didn't understand why there's a North and a South Korea... Oh, and she asked if she could call him Joe because she kept calling him "O'Biden" when she was being prepped for the debate. Annie

hi hatley, glad i caught your response before running off. very funny. is it true palin thought africa was a country or is this a myth? you won't need to wait for a half off sale if you are talking about famous people's autobiographies though - they tend to end up remaindered in hours at about 1/20th of the optimistic asking price. with parsnips i am not sure.

i agree, drivel by politicians might have a handy reuse but i am not going to pay for it.

I have such a long list of ones I hope to get to that one less I have to think about is like a breath of fresh air.

yes that will go on my long list of 'books i have absolutely no intention of reading.

Carter has always been a peanut farmer, amongst other obvious things. I added the pumpkin patch in keeping with the potatoes, carrots, turnips and parsnips. Hahaha...you've had your lesson for today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carter

ok don't get this. is carter a peanut farmer now? or a pumpkin lover?

thanks. this fills a gap in my (rather limited) knowledge of former us presidents. and a great title - should fly off the shelves (possibly into the remainders bin but never mind)

from what i can tell she appears to be a fairly pretty woman (i put that first deliberately) with ok social skills, not great education or general knowledge, and slightly pushy. i think her new job as a tv presenter is ideal.
