Gee, ya think???

Since Sarah Palin resigned as Alaska’s governor, she has signed on with the Washington Speakers Bureau, hoping to cash in on her fame. While Palin did do one speech — to mixed reviews — in Asia recently, she is reportedly having trouble getting booked for more:
Palin’s bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: “The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot.”

Many big lecture venues are subscription series, “and they don’t want to tick people off,” said our source. “Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she’s on the lineup.” Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which dislike controversy.
“Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups — unless they are interested in moose hunting,” said our insider. “What does she have to say? She can’t even describe what she reads.“
On a side note: Palin's upcoming book is ranked #2 on Amazon. And Beck's book is ranked #3. This tells you the mentality of people who buy these books. I say to Palin: Thanks but thanks. I stick to reading books from authors like Robert Kiyosaki, Napoleon Hill, and other self development books.

OK Bil come clean, did you preorder her book?
NO! NO! NO!!!! I am currently reading a self-motivation book. I am on a book club for the month. The last book that I pre-ordered was the book that Jeane Palfrey's former attorney, Montgomery Sibley, wrote: Why Just Her. I have no interest nor wasting my own money on a twit. The question is did YOU pre-order her book? Now you come clean.
Now, now...we all know they buy their own books and give them away at these events. LOL
Oh man! LOL, I knew that would get ya!
Nope no ownership of anything Palin, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter! Nor do I see even checking any of these out of the library.
Too many good books out there, and an author I recommend is Steve Neal, try McNary of Oregon, or try Dark Horse a biography of Wendell Wilkie (warning this one is hard to put down) not to mention Plain Speaking an oral autobiography of Harry Truman.......nope way too many GOOD books out there worth reading! Way too many.
And I would keep any of the O'Reilly's books written for children away from children, when a pervert writes for children it is never good.
I just read that Palin's book just went #1 on Amazon and I believe that she is #2 on Barnes and Noble. Wingnuts are pushing for her book to be #1 before the release of the book. Now, it will be very interesting on what the qualified book critics say about her book.
Palin is using her wingnut crew to push her name and book for profit. This woman needs the money especially with the amount of lawsuits that she had.
