AP reviews Palin book. It's good (the review, not the book)!

[Drunken Irishman]

About what everyone expected.

Other things missing: No dissection or prognosis of the wars in Afghanistan or Iraq (though her eldest son is a veteran), no Iran, Israel, China or Russia. No race relations, Hurricane Katrina or Bush policies, either. McCain emerges unsullied, Dick Cheney is mentioned only in passing and Hillary Rodham Clinton gets an open invitation for coffee.

More often than not, Palin spends chunks of time reciting campaign pablum. Not surprisingly, Palin, like a former beauty contestant, considers America's most precious resource to be our children. Oh, and the Constitution.

1. Serious policy book there - very presidential

:sarcasm: Leaving a paper trail a mile long highlighting her idiocy.

[tammywammy]

2. "She says she preferred her "simpler style" because she did not need "to spin.""

Right, Palin can't even form coherent sentences let alone "simpler style." :rofl:

[Cirque du So-What]

3. Coming up: MILFy McMooseburger declares Jihad on AP

Besides fact-checking her ghostwritten screed, they've published an honest critique of it! How DARE they!

[madmom]

7. She's no longer a MILF, she is now a TWILF.....

IF that is your cup of tea (pun not intended)

[Cirque du So-What]

8. I don't Twitter

Besides, it may be time for me to reconsider her MILF status. I've become more discriminating, and she does nothing for me.

[treestar]

4. Whatever company published that should be shut.

OK, I keed. But whoever reads it should be sent to a very northern island off Alaska. :rofl:

[KansDem]

5. "No race relations, Hurricane Katrina or Bush policies, either"

Does this mean there is no in-depth, thoughtful analysis of the "Bush Doctrine?" :shrug:

[emulatorloo]

6. In what respect, Charlie?11?!?!1

:toast:

[KansDem]

18. !!!

:rofl:

Anyone who believes she's presidential material has to be a raving lunatic!

...then again, there was "W" x(

[Kerrytravelers]

9. Did the AP specify if the book comes with crayons or if I'd need to buy them seperately?

14. I've never seen a politician who took such pride in such negative qualities.

I think she may even surpass Bush, who looks like a freakin' Fulbright scholar next to her.

[appleannie1]

11. Oh lordy. Now she will have to add people that do book reviews to her "they are picking on me" list

[Kdillard]

12. I am horrified that this drivel is on top of any bestseller list.

[tblue37]

20. RW moneybags buy up thousands of copies of such books and then

either give them away to people who sign up to RW sites or purchase other RW materials, or they heavily discount them. That's how they end up as "best-sellers."

[CitizenPatriot]

13. Palin called the AP's fact checking

"opposition research". Which it is, really. Because when you don't live in reality and can't deal with the truth, everything else (other than your fantasies) is the opposition.

Truth/ Palin autobiography = oxymoran.

[Nyquil Man]

15. Let the 29% of the pop who think this moron should be president lap it up.

They can probably get it for free from WorldNetDaily or Newsmax.

[icnorth]

16. 29%?? She's dropping like a rock...

a few minutes ago Jack Cafferty had her latest poll numbers at 28% and he figures that number is high. :)

[Nyquil Man]

17. I want it to stay high enough that she would seriously consider running third party in 2012.

I don't want it high enough that she can actually win the GOP nom.

I would love nothing more than to see the GOP split down the middle with Obama reaping all the benefits.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. "Substantive policy" according to ole Rushie boy

:rofl: :rofl:

[Hekate]

21. "... weirdly ungrammatical" LOL

Well done. Also written with a straight face, too.

[Inuca]

22. She quotes Plato

Priceless :rofl:. Also: fascinated by Watergate at age TEN. Is there a smiley for getting sick from to much laghter, on the floor or otherwise?

[old mark]

24. Oh, sorry - I thought that was Pluto.......nt

[AspenRose]

23. They're offering the book @ 40% off at Borders
