    Sarah Palin writing a book was asking for trouble.

    I'm not sure if she'll care. She's already made her money, no? She still has legions of devoted fans who will support her without being troubled by facts. And Levi doesn't seem to want to disclose any legally actionable details (assuming he really has them).

    Ultimately? Sarah Palin should know better than anyone else, that to fuck with republicans will bring the house down on you with their bitter, scorched earth policy on anyone who questions their own house of mirrors status quo. I almost feel a little sorry for her for what's ahead of her...almost. #sarahpalin

    Two things:

    A) She's toast. Not only is the GOP gonna come after her, but I predict a celebrity death spiral of Lohan proportions within the year.

    B) Her supporters are gonna scare the hell outta the GOP establishment.

    @burbere002: Well, then you have this quote that was recently made.. "I think Sarah Palin is great for the Republican Party," former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said in an interview that aired on CNN’s State of the Union. #sarahpalin

    I love that Sarah uses those trusty sarcastic quote marks ("celebrity") that every conservo-troll on the internet employs.

    @Richard Lawson: Sarcasm misused by the deeply stupid and meanspirited is a tragic thing.

    Like a heady spice or plutonium, it's meant to be used sparingly by people who know what they're doing.

    Every word Palin says in her pity party/grievance-fest drips with unclever, unearned sarcasm, delivered with that fake smile. She is unbelievably grating, that "just folks" persona scarcely covering that monstrous ego. #sarahpalin

    I'm not even going to think about reading that book for fear my brain might explode. It seems so factually narrow that I'll probably get through about half of it by keeping tabs on disinformation posts like these. Keep 'em coming folks! #sarahpalin

    Given the many, many stupid and ridiculous things I've already seen quoted in the book, that NYT review was actually almost kind. #sarahpalin

    This post needs to use more accurate and efficient language to describe her book, and almost anything she says. To do otherwise is to give her room to continue to create mischief. Here's my suggestion:

    "Her book: more lies." #sarahpalin

    Is it possible for Sarah Palin to say or write something that doesn't ooze with smug condescension?

    She's definitely borrowing from Anne Coulter's style of a.) say asshole things that appeal to just enough people to sell some books, then b.) capitalize on your notoriety as an asshole by saying the same stupid shit in a book. #sarahpalin

    She actually went through a vetting process? That's rich. And where is all of this going? Is she just going to continue to take jabs at everyone and have them continue to take jabs at her until 2012? #sarahpalin

    I liked how her FB update uses BIG, smart-sounding words... "subsequent", "erroneously".

    You should see the responses she got to that, they were hilarious. One guy saying that he didn't even know that people at AP could read?!?? Another guy still referring to her as "Governor" . #sarahpalin

    @se7a7n7: You read them too? Reading the inane and often unintelligible comments from her "fans" is a passion of mine. Gosh, if I had a dime for every time one of them referred to her as "Governor Palin" after she quit, I'd be a very rich lady. I also love that the liberal socialists are all apparently frightened to death of a Palin 2012 run for President when in reality that is what we are all quietly hoping for (both for the entertainment value, and because it would guarantee an Obama victory). #sarahpalin

    @se7a7n7: I'm not surprised. The fans shout "troll!" every time someone corrects them that she's not in fact "Governor" anymore, then they thank you for getting them one person closer to the million mark. What exactly do they think will happen when they get a million fans? She will ascend to the heavens and smite down our illegitimate Kenyan President? It's rather ridiculous. #sarahpalin

    The only money they shelled out on vetting her was the 25 cent charge to print out her Wikipedia entry at the Wasilla library computer. #sarahpalin

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: McCain and his camp have surely never heard of Wikipedia because it's on that infamous series of tubes known as the Internetz.

    It's more likely he had her write a 200 word essay entitled "Why I Deserve to be Vice President". Of course, 100 of those words were no doubt "also", "you betcha" and "y'all", so we can see where the process failed.
