2. Gotta love the General
Sometimes, she states truths that would be considered ludicrous if uttered by someone else. Her claim that the McCain campaign forced her to spend $150,000 in RNC funds to dress her family in designer clothes is one example of that. Although it might be easier to believe that she acted like a trailer park Zsa Zsa who'd found a credit card left behind at a possum feed, she blames McCain staffers. That's good enough for us, because we have faith; we want to believe her truths.

:rofl:

4. That review was just too funny not to copy and paste.
Ain't afraid of no Vietcong king, November 17, 2009

There are many kinds of truth. There are truths based on facts, truths based on faith, and truths based on something that sounds as if it should be true (truthiness). Then there's the kind of truth we find in Sarah's book: stories and concepts that become truths simply because she states them. She's a lot like our Lord and Savior, Glen Beck, in that respect.

Sometimes, she states truths that would be considered ludicrous if uttered by someone else. Her claim that the McCain campaign forced her to spend $150,000 in RNC funds to dress her family in designer clothes is one example of that. Although it might be easier to believe that she acted like a trailer park Zsa Zsa who'd found a credit card left behind at a possum feed, she blames McCain staffers. That's good enough for us, because we have faith; we want to believe her truths.

But the book isn't perfect. As much as I enjoyed the few short paragraphs in which Mrs Palin laid out her policy objectives, she could have condensed it all into one sentence: "I'm going to grab an Oxo Good Grips Stainless Serving Spatula and go all mavericky on your non-white, non-Christian and non-heterosexual butts."

The book also fails to expose Mrs. Palin's intellectual brilliance and keen grasp of foreign policy issues. Why wasn't the text of her recent speech in Hong Kong included? Although it remains secret, it's rumored that she viciously rebuked the Vietcong king for his assault on the Empire State Building. That's a speech we've been waiting for nearly 75 years to hear. It's big news and should have been included.

As you read other reviews of this book, please remember that Mrs. Palin has many enemies who are eager to pan her work. The Palin family's most potent nemesis, Levi's johnston, is no dpubt fully erect and ready to spew globs of misfortune upon them for a third time. And reason-adoring intellectuals are certain to point out that an interview on Good Morning Topeka doesn't qualify as a policy summit in the Far East.

But a few bad reviews won't stop her. She's seen much worse from her kitchen window. It can't be pleasant to gaze upon Antichristograd every morning as you brew your coffee.

My review isn't complete, but I think I'll quit anyway, because writing reviews, like governing, is just too darned hard to finish.

6. Pecos Bill was none to happy with the General's review
Edited on Tue Nov-17-09 12:56 PM by Brother Buzz
I don't believe Pecos Bill would recognize social criticism or political satire if it bit him in the butt.

    As for the reviewer, wow, you sure read that fast. My book isn't even here yet with 2 day shipping. I think your faux-review is going to garner a lot of negative votes though -- the liberals will vote you down without reading it just because you gave 5 stars and the conservatives will vote you down after the read what you wrote (conservatives tend to read things before signing them or agreeing with them, so if your plan was to get voted up on the weight of being a 5-star negative review, I think you're mistaken.)



After reading General JC Christian, patriot, I started dredging up fond memories of Bob Boudelang, American Patriot. In my perfect world, Bob would pipe-in on that thread.

7. Going Rouge is now Half Price on Amazon
After less than one week, her book is now remaindered at $14.50, down from the debut price of $29.99. Looks like the market place is quitting on her lame ass.

9. Personally I think this book may be the enemy of Amazon's greatest item ever: Three Wolf Moon shirt.
Since Sarah wants to shoot wolves from helicopters, her book might be the kryptonite to the most powerful single product of all time.

It's that reason alone in which Amazon buyers should unite against her book!

10. Great review, and fun to read the anti-tax weirdo's who are commenting on the review.
Seriously, I almost replied to one of them, then I remembered I'd be debating with a squirrel who's trying to horde its nuts. Not a good idea, so I passed.

17. I believe you have a lock on the "most helpful favorable review"
Your rating went up 2 percent while I was reading the comments to your review and another 2 percent while I checked out the other review comments.
:rofl:
