Palin's book is one big blame and complaint track -- but in the intro, she writes, "I don't like complainers." She credits herself for several projects that failed horribly. She calls herself a 'uniter' for proposing a energy policy that would satisfy ecological and business concerns -- neglecting to mention her energy policy went no where because both environment and economic lobbies called it ludicrous. The 'most helpful' ranked review for her book on Amazon.com was complete sarcasm written by satirical blogger, Jesus General. The book was claimed a masterpiece before it was written, and a 'best seller' before it was available for sale. Meanwhile, the publishers are mostly giving the books away.
Seriously though -- if we gave the Palin political disaster a serious sociological study, we might be able to find some sort of cure for what is destroying democracy in America.
Well, as a writer (or I think I am), I recognize that she has a great advantage once she gets away from that live TV camera and into the pages of her own book. In that venue she gets to change what she and her enemies said into what she WISHES they had all said. It's hard to lose an argument in those conditions.
...yes -- and the rumor is that she didn't quit her office in Alaska, but was forced out.
And yet -- she is still popular against all evidence that she is an idiot. So why is that? Do idiots love each other or something? There's value into studying this.
It is hilarious, in a black humor sort of way. What I find most interesting is that there's a strong correlation between her supporters and, well, functional illiteracy, hehe. I seriously wonder how many of the people who have ordered the book will ever read it.
