AP / J. Scott Applewhite

Well, that was fast. Sarah Palin is carrying on her post-gubernatorial reinvention tour with yet another book with her name prominently featured as its author. So much new wisdom to foist upon the American people since her last literary foray!  —KA

CNN Political Ticker:

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will release her second book in November, publisher Harper Collins announced Wednesday.

“America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag ” will include selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her—from the nation’s founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies,” the publisher said in a statement announcing the new book.

Sorry Desertdude, she didn’t write the first book and she really isn’t writing this book either. This environmental hating person would do us all a favor and not waste any more trees that would be used for this latest tome.

Mundt: Most of her books were bought up from funds raised for her 2012 run for president or other organizations to use for promotional purposes. These books were not sold to individuals only,if they were she would have sold a lot less copies like Joe the plumbers book sold less than 10 copies at his book signing.

Willard: Sarah would have been stones also as she was pregnant when she married Todd. Also bopped her husbands business partner. Lies all the time, one of her major assets on her rode to the Highway to Hell.

Diamond: You can get a much less costly and better quality of toilet paper than using her book for that purpose. Even people in the hills prefer corn cobs.

Jimnp72: You forgot: We’re mavericks, all of em(when asked what she reads-a trick question of course, only for her), a $250 bounty for every wolf left foreleg brought to her(this is/was real event during her partial term of governorship), what a unique/good question when she has no answer for a question that has caught her(most of them) off guard on live TV, there are more comments brought to us all by Stupidly Sarah-good name for an advice column when she needs another career, like her 1 time appearance as a FOX news person.

Sarah Palin seems to reflect the almost rabid anti-intellectual, Forrest Gumpian America that we are suffering. Nearly no one objects to her insipid opinions and observations because nearly no one notices they are just that. And if Ms. Palin truly cared about her country, she wouldn’t squander more of its precious resources to print thousands, or even millions, of books; she would issue her pearls of homey wisdom online.

This person does not deserve press coverage. The stories are as dopey as she is.

Never have been able to figure this out.  Why such an obvious lunatic gets so
much coverage.  Silly Sarah and three tea party types have a meeting and the
press stumbles over themselves to cover it.

It pleases me that those who don’t have a lot of $‘s are willing to waste them on a book written by some ghost writer.  Republicans are fairly stupid and very slow to catch on.  There’s many a sucker in the republican party.  Sarah is making millions from these suckers.  Capitalsim at its best. 

BTW: Sarah says we ought to be run by Biblical authority.  I’ve read alot about stoning and I think that Bristol qualifies - baby out of wedlock and all that.


“If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her ... and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: And the damsel’s father shall say ... these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. ... But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die. Deuteronomy 22:13-21 “

I suggest that Sarah throw the first stone.

Sarah Palin is a very smart woman. She has made
millions in a very short time. I wonder how much she
gives to charity. Love her hair style.

@Mundt…you mean they will buy 20 instead of 10…and not to mention all the rich friends that buy 100’s and give them away… “Gov. Sarah Palin is probably the most successful author of non-fiction literature in 21st century America.”... good joke!...the human race is in big trouble if that were true… the woman has a hard time putting a coherent sentence together much less a book…ROTFLMAO!

Gov. Sarah Palin is probably the most successful author of non-fiction literature in 21st century America. “Going Rogue” was a number one best seller before it was even published. “America By Heart” will repeat the performance. All the jealousy, resentment, & snark from her detractors will only impel her fans to buy 3 copies, instead of one.
