Sarah Palin’s book “Going Rogue” is about to be published. Examination of advance copies has revealed that it is an extended whinge about the John McCain camp, often based on “mis-remembered” incidents. The New York Times sums it up quite well:
…the most sustained and vehement barbs in this book are directed not at Democrats or liberals or the press, but at the McCain campaign. The very campaign that plucked her out of Alaska, anointed her the Republican vice-presidential nominee and made her one of the most talked about women on the planet — someone who could command a reported $5 million for writing this book.”
“All in all, Ms. Palin emerges from Going Rogue as an eager player in the blame game, thoroughly ungrateful toward the McCain campaign for putting her on the national stage.”
I couldn’t agree with you more. If Sarah Palin really hoped to establish herself as a legitimate contender in 2012, I don’t think she wrote the write book at all. Maybe she’ll blame it on her ghostwriter, but I suppose that would require her to read the book she didn’t write in the first place.
