The Satanic Verses.The grifter is a busy bee this week: “The as-yet untitled book by Palin, widely considered to be weighing a run for U.S. president, will feature selections of readings that have inspired her and portraits of people she admires.” Okay Willow, crayons are over there under the Taco Bell bags, get to work on those portraits of Reagan and the ESPN Sportscenter anchor guys (but not Olbermann). Bristol? Clip some shit out of those old Reader’s Digests and Sunset magazines Todd stole from the dentist’s office to insulate the garage. No not the ads you idiot, the inspirationals! [Reuters]

If her “as-yet untitled book” is “widely considered to be weighing a run for U.S. president” (as opposed to president of the Epworth League?), count me in.

In other words, she’s not even going to pretend to write this one herself.

I think we can all agree that this classic ( http://www.mcnaughtonart.com/artwork/view_zoom/?artpiece_id=353 ) will be the portrait of people she admires.

She’s gotta have a new book out soon — after all, how else is she gonna stay on the road on a book tour, staying in luxary hotels, waited on hand and foot, car and driver and her disposal, dinners on the publisher’s expense account, and trips to the “Oscar gift suite.”?

And Ken, by the way, Todd, like most Esquimos, has no need to visit the dentist (except to steal magazines) since he keeps his teeth healthy chewing muktuk. When he is too old to chew the muktuk he will participate in Sarah’s reformed social security system and be comfortably seated on an ice flow for his departure.

Lilybart March 4, 2010 at 11:35 am

I don’t think she will run because you have to be CLEAN and LEGAL with campaign funds and it would put off serious money-making for at least 4 years if the unthinkable occurred.

She does expect the nomination to be handed to her by God though.
Mitt and Jebby better watch out for lightening.

I can only imagine that writings Sarah Palin finds inspirational are the same sort of crap that I regularly delete from my inbox — appeals from a little kid dying of cancer who wants to receive a million bottlecaps/Peeps/get-well-cards before he dies; a touching story about a cat who’s brought into an animal hospital with an arrow through his head and miraculously recovers; an epistle from a homeless mother on the verge of suicide who is saved by a vision of Jesus, etc. etc. with a tear-stained intro by Glenn Beck.

Why does our dear snowbilly grifter keep confusing running for public office with competing in a beauty pageant?

WALLACE: why wouldn’t you run for president?

PALIN: I would. I would if I believed that that is the right thing to do for our country and for the Palin family. Certainly, I would do so. . . . I don’t know if it’s going to be ever seeking a title, though.

“Oil and coal? Of course, it’s a fungible commodity and they don’t flag, you know, the molecules, where it’s going and where it’s not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it’s Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It’s got to flow into our domestic markets first.” –Sarah Palin

I suggest the above Palin quote be in her first chapter: “And Jesus said, Let There Be Exxon”.

Olympic athletes (pick some from Winter Games)
Sean (Hannity)
Margarit Thatchar
Gov. Tim Pawlenty (another great guv!)
Trig and ALL special needs children plus the other kids, Bristol, Willow, Piper, etc.
Harry Truman ?
Rick Perry!
Need more strong great conservative women (think more about this)
Our brave troops!
Founding Fathers
Other historical figures (do you have any good ideas?)
Great Alaskans

Also, got your note about maybe too many inspirational quotes in Chapter 2. Don’t agree but will talk later.

Actually I’m relieved. If she gets the TV show (CBS I’m guessing)she will be about as presidential as Fred Thompson is/was/is.The fake books will never stop, however, and will continue to be bought by the truck load and then recycled same as pretty much any political book written from now on. For instance, ever seen anyone reading one say on a bus? Not for a long while right? Really I’m asking. I’m curious.
