Holy Hell: Palin’s Book Deal

Can someone pleeeease tell me what kind of a world we live in where a woman who cannot form a cohesive sentence is getting a $7 million dollar book deal? Honestly, who is going to write the abomination? Is seems logical enough to me that in order to command a book deal at all, much less one that is as lucrative as this, there are certain faculties an author should be required to possess, such as: 

1. A command of the English language.

2. Not only that the author can read, but that, in fact, she does read.

3. And what about the book tour? Shouldn’t an author be required to posses the capability to speak intelligently while promoting a $7 million dollar book? 

I am outraged. Was it not enough of an insult to thinking, educated, and intelligent people everywhere that this woman was even put on the Republican ticket? Now, the train wreck that was the McCain/Palin campaign is going to be documented in excruciating detail for all of perpetuity in a written form. This is absolute literary blasphemy of the highest degree. It is bad enough that I cannot turn on the television in my own home with out seeing her face and hearing her voice. Now she is about to intrude upon the sanctuary that is my local bookstore and library.

Oh, I know this is all about money. But is there nothing sacred left in the world at all? I have long list of questions compiled that I intend to pose to God when I get to heaven. Most of these questions center around my perception of the lack of justice in the world. I’ve just added another question to that list.

Good God, Kristi! Where do some of these people come from? If anyone can say with a straight face that Palin comes across as intelligent, naw, not with a straight face. Nice article by the way. Who woulda' thunk it would get the attention it did here?

Oh and rge....are you ever going to fill out your bio? Or are you hiding something from the rest of us?

Rge...good idea. Use your own space to debate your views on abortion and your hatred for a much needed and respectful organization dedicated to women's healthcare issues. I am happy that you live in a very secure sheltered world. Many others do not . They live their lives in the best way possible to get through each day. Be thankful that you are not one of them. Now it is time to move your views onto another comment section. Goodbye rge!

You know, Kristi, I have stated before why I think Sarah Palin is qualified. Instead of taking up space here, I will take your suggestion and write an article about that and about the horror of abortions and Planned Parenthood.

In fact, abortions account for a very low percentage of the services PP provides. So before you malign an organization dedicated to taking care of women, you better have done your homework! I agree with Kristi..if you want to debate abortion and adoption, write your own article on your views. Then discuss the issues from your article on your own comment section. This is NOT what this chat is about!
It feels good to write.
