4um: Sarah's Lectures A Tough Sell

SARAH Palin is said to have pocketed a $7 million advance for the 400-page memoir she turned in four months early, but she might not have such an easy time on the lecture circuit.

After quitting as governor of Alaska in July, Palin signed with the top-notch Washington Speakers Bureau, which also reps George W. Bush, Laura Bush, Condoleezza Rice, hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger, LA Dodgers manager Joe Torre and magician David Blaine.

Palin's bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: "The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot."

Many big lecture venues are subscription series, "and they don't want to tick people off," said our source. "Palin is polarizing, and some subscribers might cancel if she's on the lineup." Other lecture buyers are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which dislike controversy.

"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are interested in moose hunting," said our insider. "What does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads."

Palin likely quit as governor just months after losing the election as John McCain's vice-presidential running mate because of money. "She knew that if she waited until her term ended in 2010, these opportunities would be gone," said a source. "She would have lost millions by staying in office."

Palin's "Going Rogue: An American Life" is described by Harper publisher John Burnham as "her words, her life, and it's all there in full and fascinating detail." Harper wouldn't discuss what Palin was paid.

Lynn Vincent, Palin's collaborator, wrote the book so fast, publication has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17.

It's funny to observe the reactions some have toward Palin, a woman with zero political power, to that of the black Kenyan communist who currently occupies the White House. The clowns, trolls and oafs who delight in ridiculing her, while ignoring the deeds of the Marxist and his assembled inner circle, is quite revealing.

Palin is treated as though she's an elected policy-maker - and an atrocious one at that...

Meanwhile the Marxist Pyromaniac-in-Chief is doing everything - and I mean EVERYTHING he can do to shred America into a million pieces and yet Press's noses remain firmly ensconced up 0bammy's piehole.

I agree with a lot of stuff that Palin said during the campaign about social issues and economic philosophy, but she's four-square in support of these globalist military adventures which are behind much (if not all) of what is shredding America into a million pieces.

If I've kicked Palin, it's not because she's spoken against she's spoken against some of the causes of our national degeneration, it's because she's bought by the same type of folks that buy democrats.

I get the feisty-spunky-kick-the-libs-libs-in-the-groin rhetoric. I just don't believe her. She also has a hard time getting together sentences that parse. Her resignation speech in Alaska - I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Could be she's chugging too much Oregon microbrew beer she promotes in her book title. Who's to say?

Fair enuff...trust takes time. Still, I'm not prepared to throw her under the bus quite yet. To me, she has promise, and potential is what the GOP sorely needs these days. She often says exactly what I wanna hear outta a politician, but it remains to be seen if she is worthy of the Presidency.

I perceive Palin support of our "adventures" more about supporting our troops and success of our missions (whatever the heck that is these days.) I think we all feel the same way...though IMO we should have left 2 years ago. But like you, I would sure like to know what she feels out "mission" should be now.

"Bought"?? Naah - no way. Not this gal. She's had her chance to be a millionaire in Alaska politics and overturned the money-changers table instead....OF THE (R)s. No wonder the RINOs hate her - including McStain. I can also understand your reservations about a couple of Palin's positions - although...she's not running for anything. Yet anyway.

I have not found an insincere bone in her body, nor do I believe she's mercenary. IF by chance there was an iota impropriety, it'd have hit the desk of CBS, MSNBC, ABC...you get it.

As to her resignation speech, I gave her points for not so much what she said (I actually like that she's NOT a polished professional orator/preacher), but of the spirit with which she said it. She also handed to ball off to her Lieutenant Governor with class and humility.
