Sarah PAC spent $250,000. on political donations and $500,000. on buying her new book
Sarah PAC bought a half million dollars of Palin's new book "America by Heart". She plans on giving away autographed copies at her "gatherings" That is twenty thousand copies she used her political action committee to purchase. Is that even legal? It seems to me she is just transferring her political action money into her personal account..

2. Killing 2 birds with 1 stone - moving her drivel up on the bestseller list
and making her sheeple happy.

4. She's making her book a "bestseller" so that it will make the lists of bestsellers
Right wingers do this all the time.

It's propaganda to make people think others are interested in their bullshit.

6. Yes, she's transferring from PAC to personal
with the added bonus of giving her book "sales" an impressive bump. Grifter extraordinaire.

7. If they wait another month, they can get 500,000 copies of it at The Dollar Store.
What a bargain!
