Mock Palin memoir to coincide with book's release

33 mins ago

NEW YORK (AFP) – A parody of a memoir by Republican former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is set to be released the same day as her real book hits the shelves next month, the publisher said Monday.

With a nearly identical cover photo and similar typeface on the title and subheadings, "Going Rouge: An American Nightmare" looks remarkably similar to the planned cover of the Alaska governor's "Going Rogue: An American Life."

Both are set for release on November 17. "Going Rouge" is compiled by a pair of editors at the left-leaning Nation magazine, and is to be published by OR books which launched earlier this year.

Palin's memoir is to be published by HarperCollins, with an initial print run set at 1.5 million copies, and is an early bestseller on Amazon.com.

The mock memoir "examines Palin's quirky origins in Wasilla, Alaska, her spectacular rise to the effective leadership of the Republican Party, and the nightmarish prospect of her continuing to dominate the nation?s political scene," OR books said on its website.

2. Palin is a partisan SHRILL

4. on the "real" (i.e., massively ghostwritten) book, Palin appears to have a biggish canker or cold

sore on her lip, separate from the shine on the Dutch Boy paint she uses as lipstick

it's like that scene in Spinal Tap where the entire band was covered in cold sores...
