    If a woman ghostwrites a book about a woman that women who don't read idolize, does it even need words?
    They could save $1.75/copy by not bothering to ink the presses.

    Are we positive its not called Going Rouge? That blush she wore certainly needs some sort of explanation, preferably in book form.

    Also awesome about that photo, her feet are (motion) blurry. So the pageant queen couldn't even hold that pose.

    Beyond the US flag, the most important thing in that picture is the banner in the window labeled "US Army" with the single star for her son, just returned from Iraq.

    I think the manner in which the flag is sort of thrown over the chair like a used towel with her leaning on it is pretty disrespectful. I would expect it would be hanging gracefully in the background on a pole. I'm being a bit petty only because Palin and her ilk are usually wave the stars n stripes to make their agenda appear patriotic.

    @pieyespy: Besides, it's a (semi)professional photo. The shades of her legs on the wall indicate very bad artificial lighting.
    So she hires a photographer to show a flag like that, while wearing a shirt that looks like the Russian soccer jersey? She's clueless.

    @Btwbfdimho: Wasn't this the shot for her Runners World profile or something? I thought I saw that here (as I can't even properly run around the block). So even though it's revolting, it's not entirely her doing, I don't think. Still, she ought to know you display the flag correctly or not at all.

    The ghostwiter "Lynn Vincent" (not her real name - she's like The Virgin Connie Swaile) is a longtime old whore for the religious right who is employed by World Nut Daily, a Religious Reich organization.

    She also wrote "Donkey Cons", a catalogue of scandals attached to Democratic elected officials. She did not write "Elephant Cons", apparently because she did not want carpal tunnel syndrome.

    Don't give this old cracker skank any money by buying this book, even as a joke. By her own account, she sits around in a San Diego Starbucks, farting into the stained polyester upholstery through her Chico's pantsuits, hoping that her big hair will attract the attention of a stumbly sailor long enough to give her sad life a little meaning.

    Kinda like Sarah, circa 2015.

    A 1.5 million first printing? Are they nuts? The only way it will have a chance of selling that many is with this title: Blowing Rogue: An American Wife.
