This week, one time 2008 Republican vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin has been taking the media and a few small towns by storm to promote the release of her new book titled, 'Going Rogue: An American Life'.My Comment: Tina (as in Fey), I mean Sarah - are we almost finished with this incessant assault on the media? Spare us from your shrieking non-answers in these softball pontificating interviews. We surrender already...
First the title, 'Going Rogue' - perhaps an implied overtone as one friend and I laughed aloud, "Almost a bit gangsta' for Sarah Palin" - would you not agree? Palin does not lend well to the image of being a youthful and rebellious confident, cultural trend setter, nor overtly concerned with the mainstream in general. Or, is she?
To be clear, I am not a Sarah Palin fan for the simple reasons of not being interested in guns, hunting, Alaska in general, sugar-coating the ugly truth, nor am I '40 something year old soccer mom'. However, I do respect the idea of her strength and independence as a charismatic leader (A.k.a. Political Spin Doctor). Palin is certainly beginning to exhibit signs of a media savvy and is even using the media for her agenda. Clinton/Palin in 2012. Perhaps - one could speculate.
Speaking of unbelievable events, it is rather comical the price of Palin's book was originally priced at $28.95 and was immediately adjusted to a mere pre-order price of $4.95 (Now somewhere around $14.50). According to reports, this trickery was to catapult Palin's book on the NY Times Best Seller list.
Having said, have you noticed that EVERYONE writes a New York Times Best Seller - for this is rather suspect and quite frankly, you know how I feel about the NY Times...Let's just say, I prefer, 'Rogue Status'.
Now, about that 'Palin Family Reality Show' - Yeah, not so much...
