The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power

[RamboLiberal]

This title will be released on May 10, 2011.

In The Lies of Sarah Palin, Geoffrey Dunn provides the first full-scale and in-depth political biography of the controversial Republican vice-presidential candidate and former governor of Alaska.

Based on more than two-hundred interviews---many of them with Republican colleagues and one-time political allies of Palin’s---and more than forty-thousand pages of uncovered documents, Dunn chronicles Palin’s troubling penchant for duplicity in grim detail, from her dysfunctional childhood in Wasilla through her contentious run for mayor and her failed governorship of Alaska. He also provides the shocking inside story of her betrayal of running mate John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign and her self-serving resignation as governor in July of the following year. Dunn deftly places Palin in the American tradition of right-wing demagogues---from Huey Long to Joe McCarthy---and details her troubling obsession with Barack Obama as it fuels her own political ambitions and a potential run for the presidency in 2012.

The Lies of Sarah Palin is a journalistic tour de force that vividly reveals the Queen of the Tea Party movement as a vengeful and manipulative empress without clothes. This is the definitive book on Sarah Palin.

1. "betrayal of running mate John McCain"?

Any idea what that's about? :shrug:

2. I would think it has to do with her failure to follow the campaign line.

Her 'going rogue' and all.

3. I am curious as to how many copies of this book will be sold...though kindle kinda

takes out that need to buy in advance.

I think a LOT of people are going to want to buy this...just for the fun of knowing she must be going nuts trying to figure out how to control the story.

AND...if this book sells well, Palin's crazy fake baby story will have every investigative reporter in the world up there sniffing around for the facts so that will be part two. Palin will end up famous...but not for being VP but for being a whack job.

After hearing her terrible words these past couple of years, "lock and load!" I can't think of anyone more deserving of having their "family values" exposed.

4. I might buy an electronic copy...

As much as I like "real" books, I tire of buying those that I know I won't want to keep for long.

5. "The definitive book on Sarah Palin"? Do we really need one? Is ANYONE on the "fence"?

Is there anyone on the "fence" with her who needs convincing?

I'm thinking the writer / publisher were banking on her being more in the limelight at this time. Trump stole her "thunder".

And what of the REAL victims, those who still "like" her? In the end, you can't argue your way around "idiot" and those are the only people who are her fans.

6. But she's a straight talkin', straight shooter mom who loves 'murika, isn't she?

:eyes:

7. "empress without clothes" -- (fill in the whatever here) n/t

8. It will be refreshing to read a biography of Palin that's not something

starbursty. Heads will explode over her portrayal...but I doubt the facts can or will be refuted.
