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.

You do know that she's no longer a candidate running for VP right? Or should we expect this demonization to continue forever? She's not a big deal in any context. While I don't particularly like her, I don't particularly hate her. You statist types though, wow, I've never seen such rage, hate and anger aimed at one person who did absolutely nothing to you at any point. Must be that "damned uppity woman" thing liberals harbor deep down in their souls.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
It is quite remarkable, suggesting that there may be fire behind all that smoke.
Or should we expect this demonization to continue forever? Okay..... her name is continually being out out there for a candidate president. So YOU tell us her stance on the major issues. She is still behaving as a public figure and as such is fair game for discussion. Wasn't that HER at the UN making a speech the other day? Seems like she is still trying to influence policy which is her right and it is my right (so far) to discuss.
By others. Has she declared for the nomination yet? She is still behaving as a public figure and as such is fair game for discussion. Sure. No question. Demonization and the utterly base and vile attacks? Come on, that's beyond crude. There are other people out there that hold exactly the same ideas as she does or professes to, and I see no sneering disgust and ad hominem leveled on them. It's just telling to me that the real motivation behind most of the statists attacks on her has very little to do with her politics and a lot to do with the statists rather stark and scary psyches. It's like they lose all control when it comes to her, but nobody else. Hell, Dubya probably didn't take this much fire, personal family dirt digging and utter flames.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
No one has declared, silly. This is the positioning stage. It doesn't matter though, she is out making speeches to the UN and elsewhere, and trying to influence gov and UN policy which keeps her in the limelight and public spotlight, probably..... by intent.
Oh my .....your need for gross rationalization is unbecoming, but it is your right. You want your politicians on a pedestal don't you? Think of them all as dirty skunks.
So the point is moot. This is the positioning stage. It doesn't matter though, she is out making speeches to the UN and elsewhere, and trying to influence gov and UN policy which keeps her in the limelight and public spotlight, probably..... by intent. Who is questioning that? Criticize her platform(s), ideas, positions what have you to the hills. Go for it. All I'm noting is that the left/statist go far beyond that with her, where they generally don't with others. I just find it revolting, and telling.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
They think she is? LOL I know she is.
She's not my politician, first. Second, where are the exact same, constant attacks against other conservatives of note? Nowhere. Limbaugh doesn't even take flack like this (not that he's a politician of course). I think, based on our conversation thus far and your responses, that you're fundamentally not "getting" what I'm stating.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
So please let us in on the big secret ....Sarah's platform. So far she has remained fairly mute. Which I criticize her for. She's even been called a work- in- progress by an admirer here today. I hope she's not planning on imitating Kerry.
If you cannot elucidate her political positions how do you know she is an "other conservative". Because she runs for the GOP? After Obama was elected surely you now see the foolishness of blind trust. lololol
She's not my politician, so I don't follow her or her platform. And, I will note, that has nothing to do with my criticisms on this thread. Again, you simply do not understand what my criticism is. You're approaching this from a "you love her or you ad hominem her like we do" paradigm. I reject both sides of that coin. It would just be nice if statists could approach the topic of "Sarah" without revealing themselves to be such small, bigoted, sexist asshats. Criticize her ideas or lack thereof. One doesn't need to drag her family into it, one doesn't need to denigrate her looks, or call her vile names, where with any other politician that may hold her views, those kinds of attacks are withheld. I suspect that I'm speaking to myself at this point.
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
It's because "her views" have nothing to do with what I'm stating. She could hold an agenda that states that she believes we should all be mandated to buy coffee cups. That would have *zero* to do with my observations. Christ, how hard is this to understand?
MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
Certainly you can quite beating around the bush and tell all us inquiring minds a few of her political views. You were the one who compared her to "other conservatives".
As I said, I'm talking to myself at this point. And as I said, again, you clearly, painfully clearly, have no idea what I'm critiquing. Have fun with your "lololololol". Good day.

And as I said, again, you clearly, painfully clearly, have no idea what I'm critiquing. Have fun with your "lololololol". Good day. You are beating either around the bush for some reason or admitting you have no basis for your "other conservative" statement. You think that "blind trust" and "Obama" are NOT terms worth laughing at?
Have fun with your "lololololol". Bwaaahaa!
Really all this posted when all I wanted is some information on Sarah Palin's stances on the issues of the day. Such trollish behavior..... must be another one of your Christian values at work.
No, just an objective observation. Sadly, the walking insane dwell among us.
P.S. - LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOL
You lecture others on Christian values then can't even post one line about Palin's stances on the political issues without an insult. I guess your blind faith extends to politics too.
When you're as phony and FOS as you've been, your cartoon character persona just can't be taken seriously. Put some ice on it. OR in it. Mr. Gilbey's needs some atten-shun.
Still digging aren't you? Just cough up the info requested. Since you seem to be Palin's most ardent admirer here, it should be easy for you.
It might help if she got divorced, took up with a mexican lesbian, adopted a Somali infant, and produced a book describing her epiphany. Lots of people would pay for that.
Redneck vs. cop: Redneck. Cop vs. n-word: Cop. n-word vs. white guilter: n-word. Being a lawyer knocks you down a peg, so redneck lawyer vs. cop and n-word lawyer vs. white guilter are toss-ups. White guilter lawyers are the lowest form of life. We're living in a very, very strange time in history aren't we?

Despite her rather considerable limitations, Palin is now making more money than her salary if she had been elected VP. My guess is that she'll take the Pat Buchanan route - turning a flimsy run as a candidate into solid cash as a public speaker and pundit.
Lots of people would pay for that. LOL
Domestic energy. Probably fiscal conservatism, a largely neocon foreign policy. But then, she pretty much just read scripts as McStain's VP. What is interesting is the absolutely unrelenting and vicious personal attacks on her and on her family. And all of this while she has been virtually silent and invisible. It looks to me like libmedia and the Left are scared shitless of her, afraid maybe that she might have the kind of Reaganesque popular appeal, or the potential of it, to unseat Yomama in 2012 just as Reagan unseated Carter in 1980.
Yeah. It seems to me that the frothing hate hasn't stopped from day one. The reasons seem to change, but the absolute bile and ad hominem in lieu of actually debating her positions (whatever they may be) is omnipresent.

The Pubbies seem to be just as much into Messianic political prophecy as the Dems. Always wanting that politician on a pedestal.
Your argument remains circular when Palin prefers to remain vague on her positions. Please save your adjectives for the politicians. They are hardly your saviors.
You still don't seem to offer much explanation for this rabid frothing hatred we see constantly toward her. Especially when she has been totally invisible except for writing three Facebook posts and making a closed speech with predictable content in Asia. I'd say she is more hated than Bush or Kerry or Gore or Xlinton or anyone else I've ever seen in politics. It is really an insane level of hatred. I'm not sure even David Duke was more hated than this, despite making a lot of offensive remarks, when he ran for office.

It has nothing to do with her politics per se. It's the whole psychosis being displayed that has me scratching my head. It's not about policy (or lack thereof) with these types. It's something deeper and frankly more frightening.

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.
But then, she pretty much just read scripts as McStain's VP. I don't believe McStain was either a fiscal conservative or advocate of domestic energy. On social issues they were hardly simpatico... The only major issues that need clarification regarding Palin are her definitive positions (and not scripted campaign BS rhetoric) with respect to foreign policy (most likely backing Israel vs. Muslims), and the Mexican/Third World Invaders situation.
MSNBC personalities Rachel Madcow/Ed Schultz/Chris Matthews/Keith Olbermann hardly let a day pass without taking a shot at her, whether she's in the news or not (mostly not). It's telling that the D.C. Democrats walk in mortal fear of her personal values.
_________________________________________________________________________ HEAR HEAR! 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.
It's not even necessarily the press, it's just the general leftist cheerleader. I just do not understand them, and I suspect that they have no idea why they're doing it, beyond it being implied that they *better* do it to retain their "cool" street cred.

Amazing, ain't it? It's 24/7 OCD with them. Yes, I agree - the Dems absolutely fear the day Palin and her supporters MIGHT hold their feet to the fire. She's clean, they're filthy, and they know it.
Yeah - it's almost as if it's a cool, a chic style to be on the Kenyan's bandwagon - regardless of substance. To those ignoramuses, he's an accessory to their vapid, shallow lives.
