[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 639968, member: 17969"] BABA, Yours and tieguys love affair with this lady is a crack up. Both of you tout Sarah Palins book like its a piece of literary genius. The even funnier part is that the both of you believe she wrote it. [B][SIZE=4]WRONG.[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=4][/SIZE][/B] The ghost writer for her book "Going Rogue" is none other than Lynn Vincent, who works as the senior writer for the "conservative Christian publication World Magazine." Chris Mathews of msnbc said back in MAY 09 that Palin would not write this book and he was right. He said that Palin did not have the skills to write such a book, and thats exactly the case. Vincent, who has "ghostwritten" for others and the author of a book of her own with her political leanings in tow "Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party” , goes to show how far the publisher HarperCollins ( a fox news company- newscorp) will go to promote PALIN. While the numbers are not adding up for retail sales, the pre-orders by right wing groups pushed this book to best seller status. An undustry expert said this about the PALIN book: [B][COLOR=red]"Within the industry, figures for both print runs and pre-orders are notoriously inaccurate. Publishers inflate print-run figures -- a good rule of thumb is that the actual print run is half of what's reported -- so the 1.5 million-copy press run of [I]Going Rogue[/I] is likely closer to 750,000. The Amazon-Target-Walmart price war has made cheap copies plentiful, but their sites' "bestseller" rankings indicate high velocity, not necessarily high sales; if several hundred copies of [I]Going Rogue [/I]were rapidly pre-ordered, the book would shoot up in the rankings. For [I]Going Rogue[/I] to go big, she must attract her contingent through bulk sales to the Christian right -- an audience long ignored by [I]The New York Times[/I] Bestseller List, and by publishing in general, until Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins's [I]Left Behind[/I] series about the Rapture proved too big a cash cow to ignore. But a year after her failed candidacy as Vice President, Palin is no longer the great hope of her party. Her image is tarnished by gossip media's fascination with her and her family -- especially Levi Johnston, the teenage father of her infant grandson, who has proved indiscreet with reporters eager for sordid details."[/COLOR][/B] Unlike President OBAMAs books, which were written exclusively by OBAMA and without help of a ghostwriter, his books were best sellers on their own merits and had no help from pre-orders from left wing interests groups. His books continue to sell today. As for PALIN and getting help writing the book, or in other words, having the book written for her, especially from a wacko right wing interest group in the WORLD MAGAZINE, it only demonstrates the desperation of the right wing to create an "image" for a candidate and not substance. As for PALIN, her handlers know that having typical book signings will only work in RURAL america and that doesnt grab news headlines ([I]cause those typically will swallow anything handed to them by the right wing[/I]) so they have opted to "USE" our military bases as a ground zero for her. This is a shame. I hope the goverment steps in and prevents any further use of our military as a showcase to promote her political ideology. TIEGUY stated earlier that she will be "coached" and "trained" to answer questions better in the future. Really? is that the best the right wing has to offer America? Someone who has to be told what to say and do?? What happens when she is in the White House? Who will pull the strings then?? Karl Rove? Dick Cheney? Bill Kristol? James Baker? Roger Ailes? These people already have screwed up this country, why would americans give them another chance? If PALIN is too dumb to answer simple questions now, 4 years from now will make no difference. For example, shes already on RECORD stating the Israelis should expand into Palestinian land, if she changes her position sometime later, she will have transformed herself into a flipflopper. Something the right wing hates. Everything stupid she says now will come back to haunt her later, just as TIEGUY experiences on this board. At the end of the day, the PALIN book will flop at the retail end, and the publisher will hope to at least break even on the costs. It was an expensive adventure to pay both PALIN and her ghostwriter to make this book. HarperCollins, an arm of NEWSCORP aka FAUX NEWS has a large vested interest in trying to promote the book, thus the reason they booked PALIN on every show on the channel for the next few weeks. I say goodluck PALIN and FAUX, americans are not that stupid. :peaceful: [COLOR=black][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
