Has anybody on DU bought Palin's book?

[arcadian]

There is so much talk of it here I know that some must have bought it, at least out of curiosity. Remember, your vote is anonymous so you can say yes and no one will shame you. Or you can claim yes and say that you are conducting "oppositional research". :rofl:

[Ian David]

1. I'll be hiding it in the spaces between the shelves at the bookstore. n/t

[arcadian]

6. A good place to hide books

Sometimes they put these little cardboard space dividers on the shelves that say stuff like "On Sale Now!", they are usually hollow. You can stuff 2 or 3 back in there.

[Ian David]

16. Thanks! n/t

[tabbycat31]

24. move it to the fiction section

[taterguy]

28. Which will achieve nothing except annoying the hell out of some bookstore employee

Way to show your support for the working class.

[arcadian]

31. Bwahahaha!

You're serious? Actually those books become unsold product, something that publishers and book sellers look at.

[taterguy]

34. They become a major Pain In the Ass when some poor schlep has to do inventory

If you don't like Palin there are far more constructive ways to express your disapproval of her.

[Sinti]

2. Oh - you mean here. I thought you meant "anybody" like anybody in the world n/t

[arcadian]

9. Changed it.

Thanks :hi:

[Sinti]

20. You didn't have to, it was funny :) n/t

[footinmouth]

3. Nope

She has every right to make money, but it won't be off me. I won't even read it for free in the library.

18. Jeez

I started reading that post, and thought that person has a LOT more staying power than me. My version would read:

Page 1: Unbelievably juvenile blather.

Page 2: Well, it's good and original. But what's good isn't original, and what's original isn't good.

Flip through the remainder of the pages, thinking "This just goes on and on!"

Hit liquor cabinet.

5. I do intend to buy a copy of "Going Rouge" from the Nation

Going Rouge by the editors at the Nation is also on sale today. I plan to buy a copy of that book even if it costs more than $4.97

[Lost-in-FL]

7. She is comming to Orlando next week.

I am contemplating getting a signed book. :evilgrin:

[daleanime]

22. 'Going Rouge'...

or a coloring book?:evilgrin: (I might spent $2 to see that.)

[Lost-in-FL]

23. I wish I could get her to sign the coloring book

I would run home to put it on ebay

[daleanime]

25. Try it!

You never know:rofl:

[Lost-in-FL]

27. I don't want to die shot at a B&N.

:rofl: Actually, that is what I want, to get her to sign the coloring book.

I was at a B&N yesterday and Mike Huckabee happen to be there. I saw how tight security was in that place (not by police but the local church guides). It is difficult. Glenn Beck will be there Friday so I guess it is Loony Month at the B&N. Palin will be there on the 24th.

[daleanime]

30. Thank Lost, you make my nite..

armed church guides provide security for local B&N, film at 11!:hide: :rofl: Whatever you do be careful, we need you back here:hi:

[Bjorn Against]

36. I am going to try it, I ordered a copy for that reason.

[IDFbunny]

8. It's bad enough that it's discussed here at all

but to buy it is beyond the pale, even for opposition research.

Her importance doesn't warrant the attention she gets.

[shaniqua6392]

10. If you gave it to me for free.....

I would set it next to my toilet and rip out one page at a time to wipe my ass.

[lob1]

11. I might buy it. I'm starting a compost pile.

[JuniperLea]

12. I'll wait until it shows up at the public library...

And borrow it from the "Illiterature" shelf in the fiction section.

:rofl:

[hlthe2b]

13. Only the lurking Freepers, I'd predict....

At least when you throw $$ away on the lottery, it builds parks and trails--or schools, depending on where you are. What on earth would anyone get from Palin's book, except an overpriced (and embarrassing) doorstop?

[RedCloud]

14. Those pesky freeper sleeper cells.

[MNDemNY]

15. I am waiting until next month...

when it is added to the bible, and I can get a free copy from the Gideons.

[HopeHoops]

17. Why? I've got a lot of tree trimmings for the fire pit.

Books don't burn that well and why spend money on that trash?

[EFerrari]

19. Are you kidding? They're giving it away, why should anyone buy it?

:)

[Blue_In_AK]

21. I'm not going to read it.

I've left that for the Alaska bloggers who are reading and reporting.

[EndersDame]

26. I was thinking about getting it as a gag gift for an ultra lefty poli sci college kid

[elocs]

29. I don't buy books--that's what libraries are for. n/t

[spiritual_gunfighter]

32. I have had thoughts about checking it out from the library

but knowing where I live, it will be checked out until 2015.

35. I ordered Symbolman's "Going Rouge" coloring book, does that count?

I am even planning to take it to one of Sarah Palin's book tour stops to try to get it autographed.

[lunatica]

37. I can't even buy the books I do want to read!

But I'll listen to all the critiques.

[DailyGrind51]

38. Only as a back-up for toilet tissue!

[Contrary1]

39. Hard to resist with this sample of literary genius:

“With the grey Talkeetna Mountains in the distance and the first light covering of snow about to descend on Pioneer Peak, I breathed in an autumn bouquet that combined everything small-town America with rugged splashes of the Last Frontier.”

[RagAss]

40. I'd rather watch my dog take a shit.

[asdfa88550]

41. no and i never will

[Mari333]

42. My god, I would rather have earthworms shoved into my nostrils with a trowel

[wizstars]

43. ??? There's no FUCK, NO!!! option... ???

so I ain't votin'

[Ignis]

44. FIVE of you are going to buy it?

For fuck's sake, just use your local library. Don't give this dingbat any more money or credibility.
