Going Rouge
I went looking for a copy of Governor Sarah Palin book “Going Rogue” at the downtown Borders bookstore. I couldn’t find it. It wasn’t because they were sold out, but because I was looking in the fiction section.
More than 1,000 people gathered in Noblesville to see the former Vice-Presidential candidate and get signed copies of her book. I frankly don’t see what the big deal is. When in America did we start rooting for losers and quitters? On top of that take Sarah Palin out of politics, and what do you get? A middle-aged woman, with a Cohen Brothers accent, from the meth capital of Alaska, whose teenage daughter got knocked up by her boyfriend who’s now posing for Playgirl. These people either belong in a trailer park or Jerry Springer; not that there’s much difference.
I’ll even go a step further that if Sarah Palin was less attractive there’s no way she’d get the attention to the level that she does now, at least from a bunch of middle-age men who have some librarian fantasy that they’re holding over from high school.
And please spare the Obama diatribe that is about to follow. I tried reading the President’s book and really couldn’t get past page 46. It was wordy and self-serving, normally qualities I respect, but I had other things to do.
I’m sure Governor Palin will keep making the lecture circuit and speaking tours and make quite a nice bit of change doing it. I fully endorse her getting rich while doing it because the longer she stays on the road, the longer she stays away from politics.
