    That article was hilarious. Politically speaking, she's a dead woman walking. I wonder if she knows it?

    I don't think she cares. I think if the populace accepts her as a politician she'll keep doing it; otherwise she'll shift to entertainment (she's already a celebrity and can command a decent fee for anything she does).

    Here comes the gravy train! According to the Today Show, Palin has been offered a book deal worth between $7 million and $9 millon bucks!

    And Levi said she took the money and ran!

    Show Me the Money!

    EDIT: Whoops! Typo fixed

    Was I the only person surprised that she knew how to write?

    Hey, don't be hatin' -- or stair-e-o-typin'. After all she done got herself a gen-u-wine college edumication.

    She probably can't. But this is why baby Jesus gave us the ghost writer.

    Aww, come on now, she can't be illiterate. The question is, can she write well? We're about to find out.

    I think we all know there will be a co-writer, 17 editions before final print "to clean it up a bit":rolleyes: and a big, enhanced cleavage shot for her on the cover.

    I'm fairly certain that's what Aldeth meant when he said "does she knew how to write." As in, is she capable of undertaking the considerable task of authoring an entire book herself. I just pointed out that these days, it doesn't matter when you can pay someone to write in your "tone" and approve the final draft (this is absurdly common with media personalities). Her inane twitter posts are proof enough that she is literate.

    Of course - I wasn't suggesting that she wasn't literate, or that she would be publishing a coloring book, or a pop-up book, or a how to shoot a moose book, etc.

    Are you kidding? Have you seen some of the stuff that sells in book stores today? It doesn't even matter if she can write well. Just so long as she can string coherant sentances together (whether they're gramatically correct or not), she can sell.

    You've obviously never read Dennis Rodman's book. You don't even have to do that. :)

    Or the guy who wrote the Baldur's Gate novel. I'm sure Tal can confirm he couldn't string sentences together :p And if he got published, there's absolutely no reason Palin can't. She can't do worse, can she?

    You guys are hilarious. Hey, since Obama gave a plum job to another woman who opposed him (I'm referring to HRC), what do you think the odds are that he'll appoint Palin to some cool position. Given that she can see Russia from Alaska, maybe she could become the next ambassador to Russia?! :p

    Maybe I've been reading too much surrealist fiction these days. No more Kafka for LKD!

    Blades, Palin only sees the future of her career through those thick lenses. If she were a video game she would have only one playable mode....career mode. Her family, outdoorsyness, religiosity, conserviosity, and milfyness would be minigames used to further the plot of her career. She is worthless....despite the fact that many will grant her enough virtual worth to continue her assault on the international consciousness.

    Sarah Palin as an ambassador of the United States of America? The person who represents all her country stands for?

    Hmm, I can not decide if would be more comical than tragic or the other way around :) .
