America’s Biggest Idiot Gets Millions For Someone To Write Her ‘Memoirs’

by Ken Layne  

Remember Sarah Palin, the briefly famous wingnut lady who can’t speak, can’t read and can’t even remember the name of a single newspaper she pretends to read every day? Yeah, she’s getting millions of dollars from HarperCollins to write her “memoirs.” Jesus. She hired a lawyer last year (after she lost the election for McCain) to go after an $11 million advance.

The Anchorage Daily News reports:

She called that figure “laughable” in January but has never provided another. Palin said she’d give a portion of the book money to charities, although she hasn’t decided how much or which ones.

This snowbilly grifter is the biggest con artist in American History.

“Palin said she’d give a portion of the book money to charities, although she hasn’t decided how much or which ones.”

The American Society for the Advancement of Single Teenage Daughters of Governors, and the Society for Moose-Killin’.

Terry May 12, 2009 at 9:36 pm

I predict that a few GOP and fundie groups will buy copies to give as gifts. The rest will sit around bookstores and warehouses, being discounted more and more, until they are sent to be turned into pulp.

Captain McAwesome May 12, 2009 at 9:37 pm

that picture made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Custerwolf May 12, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Agghh- Jesus christ!! Todd actually puts his cock in that thing?

Texan Bulldoggette May 12, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Ha, no charity in the world is gonna see a dime of that money, unless it’s the “Fuck You, All Mine Palin Fund”. You know what this means, though: BOOK TOUR! I await her interviews on Jon Stewart, Oprah & the View.

Crow T. Robot May 12, 2009 at 9:40 pm

I was going to compliment the picture–really speaks to her essential character.

Harper Collins “won” the bidding. Regnery must really be running short of cash.

[re=315120]JMP[/re]: That should be Single Teenage Mother Daughters of Governors, obviously.

[re=315124]Terry[/re]: The publisher will probably also spend several months flogging the book on Wonkette, not getting irony.

“There have been so many things written and said through mainstream media that have not been accurate, and it will be nice through an unfiltered forum to get to speak truthfully about who we are and what we stand for and what Alaska is all about,” Palin said.

And I cannot goddamn wait until Rumsfeld writes his memoirs either.

Yeah, she’s getting millions of dollars from HarperCollins to write her “memoirs.”

Can’t imagine many Americans are going to contribute to her legal fund after this news. She has become the Britney Spears of politics. I hope she gets enough money from this deal to retire and stay in Alaska. I’m hoping her 15 seconds of fame are drawing to a close soon.

Chapter 12: The Importance of Religion at Home

People ask me how was I able to deal with Bristol telling me she was pregnant. I won’t deny that it was a hard blow, but I knew that our religion would get us through it. Call me crazy, but Bristol’s and Levi’s deep religious beliefs let me know everything would be all right. I remember how, before the pregnancy, Bristol and Levi would pray together in her room. “Oh God!, Oh God! Oh God!” she would scream as the spirit overwhelmed her, followed by her talking in tongues. They would also discuss politics together, as the first time I ever heard “Drill, Baby, Drill!” was when Bristol shouted it from her room.

Perhaps the clearest evidence that the Christians are right, and the World is fallen.

I really don’t get the publishing industry throwing tons of $$$ at people like her. Number one, the demographic that likes Palin doesn’t like reading anyway. Who will buy this except for a handful of people? There are many great writers out there who are so much more talented than her, and they just get shafted by deals like this.

I am now officially organizing a local party where we will get smashed and take turns reading aloud from this book while other partygoers act it out for the edification of all. With props. I hope to make it a yearly event, if the fire department and paramedics say I can.

How come they didn’t ax me to ghost write it? I’m a ghost and I’ve been writing for–well, since before Governor Moosejaw got toilet trained. (What? Oh, really? Gross.)

It hurts my heart that a single other sentence of Snowbilly Methqueen’s (ghost writer’s) words will be immortalized on paper, much less a book. I weep in shame before posterity, on behalf of our dark times.

Though I do hope to yet see to Brian Murray (or whoever it is at HarperCollins calling the shots)stepping down in a shitstorm of recrimination when the book fails to recoup.

[re=315153]hpwilliams[/re]: How do you author a book when you don’t do teh reedin.

It’s so easy even Dohbya is doin’ it. The most honest faux-author was one of the sTrumpettes, who signed a multi-million contract for a mystery and then advertised for someone to write it.

“None Dare Call It Treason” sold 7 million copies. If radio talk shows give away “None Dare Call Me Brite,” Harper Collins might move a few books before they get remaindered.

Can someone now spend $1m in grease money to get the real inside story on her? I’m sure $50k to the Johnstons will unlock a lot of forgotten family secrets.

[re=315215]ladymacbeth[/re]: …weird. she’s a very attractive woman (yes, she is) …

I literally cannot see it. It’s that synthesis symptom. Like, when you’re riding through beautiful vistas along the coast and you have to go to the bathroom real bad? You think you’re appreciating the scenery? There is no way that witch looks good to me. She represents a missed toilet stop.

Also, her base doesn’t read any more than she does. It’s organizing an alpine skiing trip in Kansas.

If there’s one thing HDTV has taught me, it’s that maybe you really wouldn’t do that lady TV anchor, after all.

[re=315127]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: That would be so awesome. But if Couric’s interview was considered “gotcha journalism”, I can only imagine what she thinks of Stewart. If she has heard of him.

I thought she already wrote her memoirs? Didn’t Bush read it to kids while the Twin Towers were falling?

I love encountering wingnut libraries – that one shelf of books in the family room with the Left Behind series, The Purpose Driven Life, various Chicken Soup Soul remedies, the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (always there) and the Living Bible. I’ll probably see Palin’s book on shelves like that in the future. That is, if this book ever gets written. This is Palin after all. $5 says that the next time we hear about this, she’ll be firing yet another ghost writer and taking her legal disputes with HarperCollins over her advance public with a diatribe about the socialist media.

That’ll keep it at a George W. Bush reading level.

I had to come back here and say that picture is haunting me. Why would someone do that? Why not tattoo the whole lip?

Bruno May 13, 2009 at 9:25 pm

Memoirs to me have always implied that someone has something to say about something sometime. Or had a thought about something sometime.
