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

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.

  1. “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’.

  2. Terry says at 9:36 pm, May 12th, 2009

    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.

  3. Captain McAwesome says at 9:37 pm, May 12th, 2009

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

  4. Custerwolf says at 9:39 pm, May 12th, 2009

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

  5. Texan Bulldoggette says at 9:39 pm, May 12th, 2009

    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.

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

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

  7. x111e7thst says at 9:40 pm, May 12th, 2009

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

  8. JMP: That should be Single Teenage Mother Daughters of Governors, obviously.

    Terry: The publisher will probably also spend several months flogging the book on Wonkette, not getting irony.

  9. NewSpence says at 9:41 pm, May 12th, 2009

    I heard that Skinamax optioned it.

  10. Terry says at 9:41 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Captain McAwesome:

    …and yet, the guys here were calling her the GILF.

  11. Custerwolf says at 9:43 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Palin is to great literature what Liberace was to pumping iron.

  12. hockeymom says at 9:44 pm, May 12th, 2009

  16. chascates says at 9:49 pm, May 12th, 2009

    “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.

  17. AliBabaInBA says at 9:50 pm, May 12th, 2009

    So, where do you propose the book will be filed?
    Humor? Science Fiction? Occult? (Hey, you can’t call the same-old-shit ‘New Age.’)

  18. ZiPPerHEaD says at 9:53 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Hmmm. Not so sure I want my nutz resting on her chin now.

    Ken, got any close-ups of Jessica Alba’s lips to make us all feel a bit better?

  19. OzoneTom says at 9:54 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Terry: That was when they had only seen B&W “Sarah Barracuda” basketball picture.

    If they had seen the one at the top of this page GILF would have stood for Gross Images Lacking Feces.

  20. Hunger Tallest Palin says at 9:54 pm, May 12th, 2009

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

    Correction: She’s getting millions of dollars to drive several ghost writers to a hot bath and a few messy minutes with a razor.

  21. Hominidx says at 9:57 pm, May 12th, 2009

    God, looks like she could create diamonds between those lips.

    Those are the upper lips, right?

  22. hpwilliams says at 9:58 pm, May 12th, 2009

    I look forward to reading about her college years, and how tough it was finding a GOOD school to get into.
    How do you author a book when you don’t do teh reedin.

  23. PsycGirl says at 9:59 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette: And probably Steven Colbert because, you know, he really is conservative.

  24. Custerwolf says at 10:00 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Finally - a jeebus-luvin jizz twizzlin beauty queen flunky is here to tell me what Alaska is all about. Can’t fucking wait.

  25. Custerwolf says at 10:01 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Terry: Yeah, but who said anything about kissing her?

  26. Custerwolf says at 10:04 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Terry: It’s strictly Kindle. As in fire-starter.

  27. What happened to the reality show? Did I miss it?

  28. Custerwolf says at 10:06 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Hominidx: “God, looks like she could create diamonds between those lips.”

    Greta was overheard bragging how the tip of Todd’s cock was the hardest element she’d ever come across (or on).

  29. Custerwolf says at 10:07 pm, May 12th, 2009

    lmj: They’re waiting to see how the book does.

  34. Cathangover says at 10:17 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Money is power, right? So if she gets to roll around in literally millions of dollar bills does she really need to run for another office? I mean, millionaires don’t have to read shit and no one gives a good goddamn.

  35. Hominidx says at 10:17 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Custerwolf: Thanks for the sleepless night tonight.

    Country Club Jihadi: for the win.

  38. Bearbloke says at 10:23 pm, May 12th, 2009

    All the copies purchased by sold via NewsMAX are gonna have have plastic-laminated pictures, ’cause, you know… all her male readers are gonna be, ahem, ‘voting’ for the “hot chick”…

  51. AliBabaInBA says at 10:57 pm, May 12th, 2009

    How anyone figured her a GILF is beyond me (I won’t think of hate fucks, anyway).
    That pic looks a bit like Mrs. Doubtfire BUT, for some odd reason, I’m seeing Tom Cruise
    in Dusty Rose lipstick.

    I’d still hit that.

  53. Edywin says at 11:01 pm, May 12th, 2009

    I bet that she would check the grammar from my last post and comment that she uses those little squiggles in place of the dots all the time.

    weird. she’s a very attractive woman (yes, she is) and that close-up captures it all:

    small minded,
    mean
    repressed
    artificial
    tense

    weird.

  61. Hallux Valgus says at 11:29 pm, May 12th, 2009

    sigh, I feel the need to point out a Very Important Fact: Harper Collins is owned by News Corp, which is also Fox News. Expect a glowing forward by Greta, and afterward by Hannity, and maybe the book jacket will be written by Satan.

  62. Remember that West Virginia preacher who won $100 million or so in lottery, only to end up with multiple DUIs and car crashes, ripped off by pole dancers, hookers, lost his wife,had a daughter and nephew overdose and die, and other generally hillbilly mayhem?

    Sit back and watch when the check arrives. This could be fun!

  63. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:30 pm, May 12th, 2009

    Custerwolf: “Agghh- Jesus christ!! Todd actually puts his cock in that thing?”

    Okay, that was funny. I’m big enough to admit it.

    No moooing around.

  66. I think Palin is hot. And Malkin too.
    But I do not like the idea of ‘hate f**ks’ I do not understand them.
    I think it might be a sign that I like to be degraded.

    I hope it is “OK” to express deep secrets like that at a family sex gossip blog like this.

  67. Except, if it is true that she tatooed her lips for permanent lipstick, then forget it.
    I wouldn’t like to be THAT degraded, even if it is true that I do like to be degraded.
    That would be too much degradation
    Even for a family sex-news blog like this one here.

  68. Sarah Palin. Book.

    I can’t even put them in the same sentence.

    I would betcha a dime bag o’ Wasilla Meth that her general follower doesn’t read much beyond the back of the SoftScrub while taking a shit. Oh, while they may claim the the jebus bible is the only book worth reading, they have yet to actually turn a page of it, except for the back part where they write in relative’s name when the kettle explodes.

    “Memoirs of a Valley Girl” could be the title or the “Witch of Wasilla” After this big book deal, then maybe she can buy those clothes from the RNC and pay her own legal fees. 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.

    This isn’t original, only true. My sex drive screamed “Red alert! Mental fellatio image approaching!” My penis, however, somehow sucked itself up into my stomach in response. And then the image hit me and I understood why. Can we not do this thing with the picture again? K, thx.

  87. Joshua Norton says at 1:22 am, May 13th, 2009

    So is this some kind of back door way of making illegal campaign contributions or something. It can’t be because they think they’ll make a profit. You can’t tell me any of these multi-million dollar wingnut tirades they’ve published over the last 8 years has ever cleared enough to cover the cost of the ink to print it. They should save themselves counter space and just unpack the books directly into the .25 mark down bin.

    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.

    Terry: Anyone remember Newt Gingrich’s novel, 1942? It earned him a multi-million dollar advance from one of Rupert Murdoch’s tame publishers. In fact, it was a lightly disguised bribe, for allowing M. to own more than one TV station in a city. Perhaps Palin’s book is hiding a bribe as well. On the other hand, maybe it’s a big joke, like the memoirs of Morris the Cat.

    I’m waiting for something like Procopius’ _Secret History_, full of stories of how Bush was really a demon, who carried his head under his arm, late at night, and what a harlot Condi was, wishing for a 4th “portal for emissaries of cupid,” so that she could entertain 4 admirers at once, instead of only 3. Who knows, it might even be true.

    Bearbloke: I have a redneck neighbor who has a “I love Palin” sticker in the back window of his car. Not I love McCain/Palin, mind you, just Palin. I’m sure his wife must be so pleased.

    I hope some of that stimulus money went to upgrading and extending America’s remainder shelves.

    BTW, ginormous bonuses aren’t necessarily a gift from Bacchus. If the book doesn’t actually sell, she might even have to give some of it back.

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Now that is a book that would sell!

  116. gmdoll says at 10:09 am, May 13th, 2009

    …definitely on the NYT best seller list with the * notation…

    (*) lots of copies “sold” but in bulk, so doesn’t really count

    Please make her go away!!!!!!!

    zhubajie: It’s true. The churches will sell copies from a table in the back of the parish hall (coffee room). You know — where they sell the DVDs of pastor’s best sermons and the copies of the LaHaye books. In the pastor’s post-sermon wrap-up remarks, everyone will be very strongly urged to get a few copies.

    And still the Lord tarries, failing to show up with his whip, to teach the Neopharisees the same lesson he taught their philosophical forebears.

    Those lips are the spitting image of Nurse Ratched. No shit.

    Stop freaking me out.

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

  121. BlueStateLibtard says at 10:49 am, May 13th, 2009

    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.

  122. frumious_bandersnatch says at 11:01 am, May 13th, 2009

    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.)

  127. Mapmonger says at 11:11 am, May 13th, 2009

    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.

  128. Bowdoin says at 11:12 am, May 13th, 2009

    hpwilliams: 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.

    BobLoblawLawBlog: “Winked the Beloved Cuntly”?

    Ok, that was funny right there.

  133. 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.

    ladymacbeth: …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.

    Texan Bulldoggette: 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 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.
