Going Rouge

[scooterbug44]

When Palin’s memoir, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” hits bookstores on Nov. 17, it will face competition from OR Books’ “Going Rouge: An American Nightmare,” being released the same day.
The anti-Palin book, compiled by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed, senior editors at the left-leaning The Nation magazine, claims to offer up “the real Palin.”

Though the cover of “Going Rouge” is clearly a parody of Palin’s memoir, the book is not, the editors say, pointing to the caliber of writers included in it. Among the book’s contributors are Hanna Rosin, contributing editor at The Atlantic; historian Rick Perlstein; iconic feminist Gloria Steinem and former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich.

?€˜Going Rouge?€™ offers roguish reply to Palin book - TODAY: Book news

“Anyone who looks at the cover for more than half a second can tell that it’s not the same book,” she said. “But maybe we have too high of an opinion of Palin book buyers.” :rofl:

Amazing how popular Palin's book is, Rogue has been at the top of amazon's best seller list for weeks, and it's not even out yet. This other book, meh, sounds like it was written by a bunch of sexist sour pusses. I won't be purchasing either honestly.

I have no interest in either, either. I'd be interested in the demographic of purchasers, however.

Honestly, Sarah Palin lowers national politics to the level of a reality show: "Who Wants To Be Vice President?" Another person, a lot like Paris Hilton, who is famous simply because she's a celebrity.

People can make fun of her all they want, but I feel at this point she has a very good chance of being the Repblican Presidential nominee in 2012. She is not my teabagging cup of tea, but I think there is a lot more to come from this lady...Romney, Huckabee and Polenti--watch out!

Are you not believing she has any chance in 2012?..or are you not believing that I believe that she has a chance?

Both, Alpha crab, both.

I concur - which is why these authors put together the "rouge" - they didn't want her to get a free chance to rewrite history.

Palin isn't speaking out about how her interviews were edited and blaming things on McCain's handlers because she truly has zero interest in a run in 2012. Most politicians claim disinterest until they have the money and stats on their side.

Peggy Noonan said it best the day after she gave her speach at the Rep. convention.
