So lots of people have ghostwriters, that in no way proves they were literary lemmings to the ghostwriter.
I don't suppose Glenda would like to acknowledge Hillary and Bill Clinton's use of ghostwriters?
how so?
j-mac
Kind of like Bill Ayers writing Dreams for Obama isn't it? that doesn't seem to bother you much. Correct?
do you have numbers showing that is how this book was so successful?
Once the price goes down I'll probably get it and read it.
Yeah, we get it. You like Sarah Palin. It's also obvious by now that anything said that doesn't involve praise of the woman, you will take as a personal attack or insult. I know it's hard for you to get around using regurgitated talking points, but please try.
That's a helluva start for a woman that is claimed to be "irrelevant" and a "Train wreck" by those on the left.

I saw it being sold online today for $4.95; unheard of for a brand new paperback, let alone a hardback.
Anybody ever thought that she might have written this book simply to try to get her message out, not to try to make a zillion bucks on it's sales? Not ever politician is money hungry ya know.

Not everyone is like the Clintons.Please.....you really believe that. :doh
I got it at Costco for about $16.Amazon.com: Going Rogue: An American Life (9780061939891): Sarah Palin: Books
Amazon is selling it for $14.50, but the list price is $28.99.
Strawman.
300,000,000 is merely the use of an unrealistic inflated number. That assumes that even infants could buy it, and a copy for each person in a family that might share a book. Totally ridiculous. Your point is irrelevant anyway, if it becomes a best seller it will be as relevant as any other best seller.
You know young hatuey, you want to make some bull**** argument about Palin's book. Grow ****ing up, nobody gives a **** about your point...and there isn't one anyway. I'm done here.Why do you keep stating this? Do you know what a strawman is? Please tell me you do because you keep throwing it out like you know what it is.
Thank you for supporting my point and ignoring the crux of the argument while you're busy trying to act like you know what a straw man is. How many best sellers could you name? A few dozen maybe? Out of how many thousands? Best seller is merely a term used by book dealers to determine popular books from others which aren't. Popularity and relevancy are not the same thing and you establish this by saying 'it'll be as relevant as any other best seller'.
There are thousands of best selling books in EVERY genre from cooking to science fiction. These books have been bought by thousands and their popularity is unquestionable, the fact that they have been bought by droves does not establish any kind of relevancy. It establishes popularity.
Now to explain to you what a straw man is. I brought up the 300,000,000 figure in a related example(see Ralph Nader). I never stated that 300,000,000 people needed to buy Palin's book for it to become relevant. What I stated was that popularity does not equal to relevancy specially in a world where 'best sellers' number in the thousands and are subjectively defined by each independent dealer. Hopefully this explains to you what a straw man is.
You say that when the liberal media show they are obsessed with bashing her?
Name them all, remember we have 300,000,000 citizens according to Hatuey, so the few you list will mean nothing.It's not just the "Liberal media". There are plenty of Conservatives who can't stand the woman. What is your point?

I think it's mostly accurate, there aren't that many that hate her on the right. She's the only thing that kept the McCain campaign from being a bigger failure than it was.My only point is that many Palin supporters are trying to paint the Palin haters as Liberals only, which I think is quite disingenuous.

Come on Page 10!!!!
I disagree. I think she ended up hurting McCain more than anything. Or rather, McCain hurt himself by choosing her as a running mate. All of the criticisms directed at her, legitimate or not, ended up hurting McCain's chances.
