[Tommy_Carcetti]

The book will be published by Harper Collins, and the hardback is expected to hit bookshelves in Spring 2010. The book will be feature approximately 300 pages, 20 chapters, and 5 sentences worth of material.

An advance excerpt of the book was released today:

"And so you know I was in the PTA and also a hockey mom and I felt like any old Joe Sixpack but not like any of those fancy pants community organizers because you know they don't care about America and they just want to see your taxes go up and also they are friends with terrorists who want to bomb the White House and you know that wouldn't be good when Vladimir Putin rears his ugly head over Alaska and also other places and anywhere you can see Russia from your house because you know he'll enter your airspace and also that would make the news and you know I read all of the newspapers like when I read about the Supreme Court decision and there are a few Supreme Court decisions I don't agree with but I am not going to say which ones and also I love America and everything about America you know...."

1. Riveting.

Can I pre-order?

4. Make sure to include the barf bags in your order

The heavy duty ones lined with plastic.

The regular paper ones won't cut it.

9. It sounds like

Mark Sanford edited it for her.

[Tempest]

2. So loves America so much

She was part of a group who wanted to seceed from it.

3. Will there be a chapter about designer lapel pins?

[Tempest]

6. Or spending $150,000 on clothes

While claiming to be a small government politician?

[woo me with science]

5. This is obviously a fake.

No random capitalizations or exclamation points.

7. But what about

The Department of Law?

8. I don't predict it will be on the "Oprah Book of the Month List".

10. Who's doing the illustrations?

And will it eventually be translated into English?

11. I feel so sorry for her ghostwriter.

He or she is going to have to take the perfectly lucid manuscript they wroite and Palinize it so it sounds like her. Pity, it will probably drive them crazy.

15. Truly a slave to the written word

Whoever the ghostwriter may be. Can you imagine trying to wrangle some coherence out of what is sure to be a mash-up of buzzwords and dog-whistle catchphrases, defying all attempts at meaning?

[InternalDialogue]

17. I'm imagining it the other way --

Sarah won't contribute a thing but the outline, and the ghostwriter will write a good manuscript. Then it's going to have to be torn down and dummified for her. Kind of like shabby chic -- start clean, mess it up as you go along.

12. The truth is......

......she actually quit after the second sentence and never finished the autobiography because, you know, she had to go on to a higher calling, and she didn't want to waste people's money and other things.

[Javaman]

13. Well, it's obvious she is brain damaged, because since the brain requires

oxygen to function, she seems never to come up for air.

Funny satire, though.

Cheers!

14. Will there be pages to color?....

:rofl:

16. That should read "Rupert Murdoch's Harper Collins"

No reputable publishing house would touch it.
