3. The funny thing is we know she CAN'T WAIT to get the hell out of ALASKA.

Probably this is her way of manufacturing an excuse. OH THE MEAN PRESS MADE ME LEAVE!

about the book. http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/ commenting on this report http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/11/04/book-report-sarah-from-alaska/

A couple of good quotes:

Palin couldn’t bring herself to tell her children she had accepted McCain’s offer to be his running mate. “The governor decided not to deliver the life-changing news herself. Instead, she asked Steve Schmidt to tell her children that their worlds were about to be turned upside down.” There’s no explanation for why this happened – but Conroy and Walshe do point out that the timeline means the children weren’t asked for their permission, as Palin suggested during the campaign.

There’s not a lot about why Palin resigned this past summer as Alaska governor after less than a full term, except that it had something to do with “the extent to which she had allowed her critics in Alaska to get to her. The woman who had steadfastly faced down powerful oil companies two years earlier had now become preoccupied with bloggers.”

A big thanks to bloggers Phil, Linda, Jeanne, Shannyn, and Jessie, among others, for getting under her skin. :evilgrin:
