The Lies of Sarah Palin: A Mudflats Exclusive Interview with Geoffrey Dunn
This is a book I might have to read.

http://www.themudflats.net/2010/05/17/the-lies-of-sarah-palin-a-mudflats-exclusive-interview-with-geoffrey-dunn/



As California-based writer & filmmaker Geoffrey Dunn completes the final touches on his investigative opus The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power, The Mudflats caught up with him for a chat about his forthcoming book.

The Mudflats: So are you almost done already?

Dunn: I’m getting close. I’m finishing up a few chapters, tying up a few loose ends. In some respects I feel a little like Columbo in this process—slow but sure.

Mudflats: Your book is titled The Lies of Sarah Palin… is it coming out in three volumes?

Dunn: We considered that. Or four. . It’s been greatly expanded in scope and I am now in the process of condensing it down to a reasonable length so that it will fit in the back of an SUV.

The Mudflats: When do you expect it to be out?

Dunn: I’m leaving it up to my publisher . Their intent is to make it have the biggest impact possible. And I trust their judgment.

<snip>

Dunn: Those inside her own camp are already talking about Palin being elected in 2012. They joke about her living in the White House. And they are already slamming Romney. I have sources in Wasilla and in D.C. who have told me that. Plus I’ve had some internal documents leaked. And Vegas bookies still have her as the GOP favorite.

Most importantly, Sarah Palin has an Obama fetish. She is consumed by him. She was devastated by the loss in 2008. She wants a re-match. She thinks that she can beat him in 2012. I also think she believes she has to beat him to satisfy her father. She remains very much Chuck Heath’s daughter.

The Mudflats: But do you think she can win?

Dunn: First lesson about Sarah Palin: Never underestimate her. Never underestimate her tenacity and ambition and capacity for deceit—though not necessarily in that order. When people ask me a single word to describe Palin I say: cunning.

The Mudflats: But still…

Dunn: The GOP establishment is seriously concerned about her. They are circling behind Romney. But Romney has lots of problems. So does Huckabee. So does Pawlenty. So does Newt Gingrich. So do Crist and Sanford . Ron Paul is never going to win the nomination. Not in a million years. I mean the Repubs are in disarray. Who wouldn’t be with Michael Steele at the wheel? And he’s a fan of Palin’s and vise versa. She is the only GOP contender with rock-star appeal. That’s precisely what catapulted Obama over Clinton. So Palin has a shot to win the nomination.

But she has no shot to win the presidency. Nada. I’ll take any bets. I gotta pay for my kids’ college educations. Get me any Palin money you can.

I have a hunch Sarah isn't going to like this book much.

1. Great news. I won't be reading it. I do read books on the 'other side' to get
info but for some unknown reason I just can't stomach Sarah Palin.

2. Mudflats' comment was that this book,
"The Lies of Sarah Palin" had already been written, but it was called "Going Rogue." :rofl:

(no violence intended to anyone, of course). :evilgrin: It sounds like Geoffrey Dunn has done quite a lot of research and has talked to many people. His book should be a pretty good expose'. Of course, her hardcore fans will rush to her defense, but any fence-sitters will probably fall off to our side. She will be poison to the Republican Party in the long run. They have created a monster.
