UPDATE BELOW.
And she's whining about the leaked excerpts, asking "is that legal?'
Ms. Palin, we know you don't write your own books, so we're not surprised you know nothing about Fair Use, so, no, it's not illegal.
Perhaps you could hire a ghost-googler?
But the passage from her newest ghost-written fluff that was especially revealing, so excruciatingly non-self-aware, was the one about American Idol where Palin describes the talentless competitors as deluded victims of the cult of self-esteem (does this remind us of anything?). Palin goes on to say these self-esteem enhanced, but talent-deprived people eventually learn the truth after they've embarrassed themselves (and their families, eh, Sarah?); and in the wider world, these instances of hard truths are increasingly rare. (Oh, yes, we know.)
Sarah, perhaps you need to remove your myopic glasses and look in your own Mama Grizzly backyard for elucidation on this theme?
Later in the book, Mama Grizzly goes after Michelle Obama, who has never said an unkind word about Palin.
"...when the First Lady was asked about Palin, she did not take the bait, but instead, had only nice things to say about the former Governor of Alaska. It seems that Palin did not feel like returning the gesture of civility."The Pitbull with Lipstick apparently believes Mrs. Obama is a threat to her plan for being the next president of the United States, so she dredges up a half-quote that the FLOTUS said during the 2008 campaign, takes it out of context, and inexplicably attacks Mrs. Obama over it. If I weren't such a nice person, I'd call that low-class, bitchiness in the extreme and unbecoming of a decent human being, but I won't.
This is the actual quote spoken by Michelle Obama:
"What we have learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback. It is making a comeback. And let me tell you something–for the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction, and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I’ve seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues, and it’s made me proud."
And this is how Palin distorts and takes the quote out of contents, suggesting that Mrs. Obama, who has more class in her gorgeously toned arms than Palin has in her entire body, including her hair extensions, does not love her country:
"Certainly his wife expressed this view when she said during the 2008 campaign that she had never felt proud of her country until her husband started winning elections. In retrospect, I guess this shouldn’t surprise us, since both of them spent almost two decades in the pews of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church listening to his rants against America and white people."
Palin's the first to cry foul and stamp her foot when anyone criticizes her or her family, but is not shy about attacking and calling into question the patriotism of a woman she's never met, never spoken to, and who has never attacked her.
Palin's idiotic and childish label "lamestream media" applies to the media only when they speak critically of her or members of her family, whom she encourages and supports in their pursuit of meaningless trophies for their talentless performances in teevee dance contests. In that instance, she has no problem with media coverage of her family so long as it brings her publicity and money.
Her complaints about media intrusion in her life are absurd when she willingly invites that intrusion by way of starring in a reality teevee program about Alaska and her family.
Spare us your indignation, lady. We're on to you and your misguided ambitions.
UPDATE: The long knives are out for you, Palin. In addition to the former First Lady, Barbara Bush, and prominent conservative pundits (Peggy Noonan, David Brooks, David Frum, etc.), Mona Charen has stated her opinion that you're too stupid to be president. Oh, my!
"A conservative columnist whose bonafides include a stint at the National Review and a speechwriting gig for former first lady Nancy Reagan has slammed Sarah Palin, calling the former half-term governor "consumed and obsessed by the media."
Writing on the self-described "conservative" Townhall.com, columnist Mona Charen blasted Palin for her lack of experience:
Palin was advised by those who admire her natural gifts to bone up on policy and devote herself to governing Alaska successfully. Instead, she quit her job as governor after two and a half years, published a book (another is due next week), and seemed to chase money and empty celebrity.
Charen questioned the would-be candidate's eagerness to engage in even the smallest of spats:
She should be presiding over meetings on oil and gas leases in the North Slope, or devising alternatives to Obamacare. Every public spat with Dave Letterman or Politico, or the "lamestream media," or God help us, Levi Johnston, diminishes her.
Charen's doubts about Palin include her judgment and possibly her parenting:
Perhaps the former governor should not be blamed for the decisions of her adult daughter. Yet there in the audience we see Sarah and Todd Palin, mugging for the camera and cheering on their unwed-mother daughter as she bumps and grinds to the tune of "Mamma Told Me (Not to Come)." Her parents had advised her, the 20-year-old Bristol told an interviewer, that she had to stay "in character" if she expected to win. Being "in character" apparently meant descending to the vulgarity that "DWTS" peddles on a weekly basis. The momma grizzly was apparently unfazed by -- or, equally disturbing, unaware of -- the indignity. And this is supposed to be a conservative culture warrior?"
Hello, Mona? You're just waking up to this blatantly evident truth about Sarah? Oh, we get it. Now that Sarah has come within an inch of declaring her run for the presidency, you pundits on the Right are going all wobbly over the cataclysmic embarrassment this absurdity will bring to the GOP. And you've figured this out about Palin just now?
