Interesting conservative review of "Going Rogue."

Some good comments as well from saner Conservatives.

Palin did not go rogue at all

Saturday November 28, 2009
Categories: Republicans
John Mark Reynolds has concluded his lengthy liveblogging of Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue". I encourage you to read the whole thing, and watch a Christian intellectual who really likes Sarah Palin struggling to come to terms with her mediocre book and what it tells us about her as a politician. Excerpt:

Practical wisdom is guided not just by common sense, but by reason and the experiences of generations of wise people from ages past. Palin knows this is true, but shows no knowledge of it.
Don't tell me a plain speaking book has to be this devoid of ideas. Read Lincoln. He could get big ideas across in simple ways to farmers with primary school educations. Read Reagan. He was not Lincoln, but he did the same thing in a television age. When I was a kid, I read Conscience of a Conservative in some yellowing paperback and it made sense to me. For heaven's sake, read William Jennings Bryan who sent the Grange through the roof with prose that sounds positively dialogicala compared to this book!
