Sarah Palin. "Can She Save America?" Get your barf bag out.

[Cleita]

I just saw this in the supermarket.


This propaganda campaign to enshrine this cheap woman as someone important to the American people really has to be stopped.

Sarah Palin magazine hits newsstands and convenience stores

By Garance Franke-Ruta

One of the things Sarah Palin has sought to do since stepping down from the governor's office in Alaska is seize control of her image. So it is perhaps a sign of how difficult a task that remains for the GOP's former vice presidential nominee that a new single-issue magazine has hit newsstands and convenience stores around the country. It claims to present "Sarah Palin: The Untold Story...in her own words!" -- and it was produced, according to its publisher, without her knowledge or participation.

Retailing for $8.99, the 100-page glossy magazine, titled "Sarah Palin: Faith, Family, Freedom," hit newsstands in mid-January and was jointly published by a fashion-publishing subsidiary of international marketing firm IMG and Imagine That Publishing. It will remain on sale through April 30.

"The genesis of it was really simple," said Steve LeGrice, the publisher and editor of Imagine That. "We're up here in New York, and there was clearly this huge enthusiasm for Sarah Palin, and at the same time all the people in the media world were sitting around scratching their heads" about how people could support her.

"What we decided to do is put out a magazine all in her own words," he said -- a magazine "without any opinion or anything added in."

1. OMFG: "without any opinion or anything added in."

Including intelligence.

41. Palin fans don't read much. Here are pics of some pages from the Palin Magazine:

She's a cute kid, but then almost all kids are cute...











I can see how this reads as a fluff piece for her wacky supporters.

What's "added in" is the portrayal of Palin as some sort of child of the prairie, someone who can take us back to the good old 19th century!

Cuz, yanno, that 20th century was filled with lots of socialist stuff and big government also too.

:patriot:

44. Clearly ...for those who can't read or understand what they read...

much less spell.

[Catshrink]

2. 100 pages, eh?

I wonder how many paragraphs that breaks down into? 2? 3?

[Arkana]

3. I'm going to vomit.

[DebbieCDC]

4. What's the grifter's cut of the profits?

[Cleita]

5. They claim she knows nothing about it, but I doubt if Sarah would allow

them to make any money on her without a piece of the action. I mean, this woman is for sale to the highest bidder. It would be out of character for her to be so magnanimous when it comes to other people making money on her image.

[immoderate]

33. As a public figure, I don't think she has any say.

Her images and speeches are fair use, or owned by the photographer. Sarah would have no say in this type of production.

They cut and pasted together a "publication." First Amendment and all that. They'll display it in the checkout line with the other fan magazines like "Beyonce," and the "Michael Jackson Memorial Issue."

Sarah can be the exploitee too. :)

6. The small print...

"Sarah Palin: The Untold Story...in her own (non-effete one syllable) words!"

[L0oniX]

45. It's small print because they know most of the buyers won't or can't read anything.

Clearly ...this mag is for those who only want to see pictures.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

7. >>>FROM PEOPLE LIKE ME ??????

[Cleita]

10. It does beg the question. What exactly does American need saving from?

It would seem it would be people like her.

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

17. apparently people like us

:evilgrin: :toast:

[Birthmark]

8. Save America from WHAT?

The ravages of a competent government?
The moral decay of a healthy populace?
The utter evil of responsibility?
The arrogance of correct spelling?

Save? I do not think that word means what they think it means.

[Onceuponalife]

9. "100 pages of must-see photos"

If she ain't topless in them, they're not must-see.

[Cleita]

11. I doubt if the are must see if she is topless in them.

I mean she's hardly a nubile-twenty-year-old.

[keroro gunsou]

23. like chris rock says....

40 year old titty, your man's titty. 20 year old titty, community titty.

[L0oniX]

46. THE MILK HAS GONE BAD!

[pinboy3niner]

12. I prefer the book: The collected Wisdom of Sarah Palin

It's filled with nothing but blank pages . . .

[jimshoes]

13. Let me just finish this sentence properly....

"What we decided to do is put out a magazine all in her own words," he said -- a magazine "without any opinion, {thoughts, insights, clues or meaning, a veritable 100 page word salad of totally mindless drivel, packed nicely between yet more nebulous utterances and a cornucopia of gibberish to round out an otherwise total waste of paper and ink} or anything added in."

[gratuitous]

14. Jesus died to save us from our sins

What is Mrs. Palin going to do to save America? And are we talking all of North and South America, or just the United States? Or just the folks deemed to be "real" Americans in the United States?

[Bluebear]

15. >a magazine "without any opinion or anything added in."< I'll say.

[Ganja Ninja]

43. A device for separating suckers from their cash. n/t

[graywarrior]

16. Yeah, she can save America from her by going away

[Initech]

18. Short answer: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:puke:

[Orsino]

19. She'll save America the day she completes a coherent, declarative sentence in English.

Or completes much of anything else, for that matter.

[pinboy3niner]

20. Yes, she WILL save America . . .

when she's RAPTURED!:evilgrin:

[DebbieCDC]

21. Why for some strange reason does this remind me of the "Tiger Beat" magazine of my pre-teen years

"The Beatles -- the Untold Story"

"100's of must-see new photos!"

"They are coming to save America"

[Politicalboi]

26. Well if you think about it

Just months after JFK assassination the country did need saving. The Beatles at least brought a lot of happiness to a lot of people all over the world. They served a purpose, she does not. I thought it looked like Tiger or Teen Beat too. I just wonder how much money she is getting from this. Or does she have to buy them to make it look like they sold out.

22. Ronald Reagan, Danny Quayle, GeeDubya

Joe the Plumber, Sarah Palin... the pinheads they foist on us are getting progressively more stupid. One day they'll land an incontinent baboon in the White House and it'll be heralded as the first true-blue salt-of-the-earth citizen president.

Palin will disappear as her babehood fades with age. It's what's happening to Ann Coulter right now. Family Values America won't follow a woman they can't fantasize in a negligee.

[Canuckistanian]

24. Without opinion, there's nothing TO Sarah Palin

She's 100% opinion, no filler, like "accomplishments" or "original thoughts" or "oratorical skills".

[Connie_Corleone]

25. Makes me wanna puke!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[donco6]

27. McCain's Folly.

If anything, she'll be the doom of America.

[Cleita]

29. If it weren't for McCain we never would have heard of her.

I put the blame for this entirely on him.

[donco6]

36. Me too. It's entirely his fault. n/t

[marmar]

28. "What we decided to do is put out a magazine all in her own words,"

So in other words, this isn't exactly MENSA's monthly magazine.....

31. She can't even save time.

[EFerrari]

32. I hope the list of her failed backers and creditors gets to be a mile long.

LOL

"In her own words"

:rofl:

[tango-tee]

34. I've reached the point that anything even remotely related to the Tundra Tart

makes me ill.

I will never, ever be able to understand what it is about Her Vapidness that attracts a cult-like following. Could it be the nastiness in her, veiled by a particular brand of "patriotism" and ignorance that they all share?

[teknomanzer]

35. She is Queen of the Teabaggers!

This is just another way for her to continue teabagging. She knows a group of suckers when she sees one and this is just another way to put more cash in her pockets -- she is fleecing the flock -- or more aptly put -- she is teabagging all these poor misguided rubes.

[Cleita]

39. I've been looking at DVD's of "Battlestar Gallactica" (new one) and she reminds me

of a female version of Gaius Baltar, when he becomes a religious leader heading a cult that worships the Cylon God. She has all the narcissistic traits of Baltar, who does everything for his own benefit, except in the series Baltar is supposed to be a genuis with a doctorate and that definitely is not Sarah.

[saltpoint]

37. So far I haven't seen this mag on the stands and I don't want a copy in

any case.

$8.99 is a decent down payment on a deluxe pizza.

40. I could agree with Faith and Family. But Freedom? What new freedom will she bring? nt

[Enrique]

42. can she spell America? n/t
