Palin Lectures Not Selling, No One Wants To Book Her: NY Post



Sarah Palin is not selling well on the lecture circuit, an industry insider told the New York Post.

"The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot," the source said. "They don't want to tick people off."

What's this? Why is the NY Post running articles with quotes calling Palin a blithering idiot?

I'm surprised some the Republican base isn't booking her. She puts all her talking points on her twitter page so why buy the cow when the milk is free?

She was never going to be a great lecturer, neither are a lot of politicians. You don't go to them for such stuff unless they are very theoretically minded or have some extra wisdom to pass on. Maybe you could get someone like Obama or Clinton to talk about what it is like to be president but Palin was only governor of Alaska.

So, one unnamed source speaks for the entire industry? You're reaching, Jack.

Perhaps the real story is that Palin's book, "Going Rogue" hasn't even been released yet, and it's already #1 on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Amazing: Palin’s book number one on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble bestseller list; Update: “It is truly unprecedented”

Forty-eight days before the release and she’s already topped Dan Brown’s latest conspiracy-theory casserole at both top retailers. To put that in perspective, note that the book doesn’t even have a cover yet. So much for the Page Six hit piece about demand for her being slack.

The joke I heard this week: Palin will be the first person to have written a book before having ever read a book.

You missed the worst slam It was freaking PAGE SIX!
'course, I didn't notice that until I posted it! d'oh!


Anyway, the most interesting part to me was Rupe's paper was slamming Palin.
