Actually, both. Whether it’s an attempt at equal time/equal play or simply smart marketing, there will be two Sarah Palin books released on Nov. 17. “Going Rogue: An American Life” is, of course, Palin’s own memoir. On that same day, however, a young publishing group with a liberal bent will be releasing “Going Rouge.” Both books have large and lovely portraits of Palin on the cover. But “Going Rouge,” to be published by OR Books as both an e-book and a trade paperback, is a collection of essays about Palin. Guessing from both the background of OR Books (a group with a self-described “distinctive progressive edge”) and the backgrounds of the book’s editors (Nation magazine senior editors Richard Kim and Betsy Reed), “Going Rouge” will present Palin in a distinctly different light than will her own memoir. (The book’s contributors are to include several frequent Nation contributors, including Katrina vanden Heuvel, Patricia Williams, Jim Hightower, Joe Conason, and Katha Pollitt.) What will they have to say about Palin? You’ll have to buy the book to find out. In the meantime, however, OR Books asks and answers its own question: Is their book “the most honest, revealing account of the Palin story to appear this fall? You betcha!”

Say what you will about Palin's zioneocon persuasions, she is a gorgeous woman and I'm sure that's what sticks like phleghm in the throats of liberals, whose women apparatchiks by and large look unattractive, unfeminine, frumpy mutt faces with fat butts.[ outside of Hollywood made-up leftie dolls, of course]
...as far as I can tell, she sincerely abhors aborticide. That's a small start in a big way. But she's completely contaminated with little hope for turning it around in time (were she so inclined)...
Yes, that position is yet another reason liberals despise her. Oh I know - they all claim it's because Palin is so sooooo stupid [ and liberals are soooo smart and progressive and elite, dont 'ya know] but that's not the reason they continue to attack this woman AND her family in such a consistently vicious manner 24/7. I mean, Palin has announced she is withdrawing from politics at the state level and she left the federal theater after she and McCain lost the Pres election 1 year ago, but still MSM and late night talking heads kept yelping and snarling about her. I am convinced it's a visceral hatred the Left feel towards Palin that has little to do about her politics and more to do with what she represents - a beautiful heterosexual married woman with several children, who chose not to abort a Downs child, and who managed to balance a marriage and family and a career in politics - indeed, rising to the top elected office in her State. Palin looks like what the Girl Next Door used to be like in America and she is a complete woman who has achieved success without sacrificing love. I think that's what really pisses off the Lefties - that Palin is normal, pretty, happy, and successful - without being "damaged" or "flawed" or "the underdog" - and it's the latter qualities which Lefties revere and promote. I'm so glad that Letterman - who led one of the most hateful assaults on Palin and her family - has had his hypocrisy revealed and is now an object of ridicule himself. [ I feel sorry for Letterman's son but not Letterman].
Amen Scrapper !

Say what you will...
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
