Going Rouge – Watch the Movie & Order Your Copy Today!
1 11 2009Here’s a great new piece from Robert Greenwald’s Brave New Films featuring the upcoming book Going Rouge, which it describes as “the definitive book” on Sarah Palin. With a list of impressive contributors as long as your arm, this book is going to be a fabulous read. As of this point, it is ONLY available on the OR Books website, so if you want to be sure to get your copy as soon as it becomes available, click HERE. It’ll run you $19 and change with shipping.
And don’t miss Geoffrey Dunn’s great review of the book for The Huffington Post in which he calls Going Rouge “an engaging read from start to finish.” Dunn is working on his own book on Palin to be released next year, which should definitely be on your wish list.
While two of Alaska’s best known bloggers (and HuffPo contributors) Jeanne Devon (AKMuckraker) and Shannyn Moore are included in the collection (Devon thoughtfully explains the brutal ironies of Palin using the term “rogue” in the title of her book), the Last Frontier gets more than a bit short shrifted in Going Rouge, and that’s too bad. [snip]
One thing is certain: You will read far more about the real Sarah Palin in Going Rouge than you ever will in her own memoirs, being published by (who else?) Rupert Murdoch. If there is a single consistency in the Palin canon it is that she is an inveterate liar and motivated by a reckless ambition that has left a trail of collateral damage from Wasilla to Washington, D.C. Going Rouge is full of golden nuggets about Sarah Palin. Judging from her past performances, her own book will most certainly be riddled with deceit.

the glee that the hosts of Insider showed while discussing Going Rouge was unmistakable! I’m thinking that $19 isn’t a bad investment for a great laugh!
AKM, will you be singing copies of Going Rouge??? Can we have an auction or a raffle for your autograph?

“her own book will most certainly be riddled with deceit.”
Wow. I love that they said this out loud.

I gave myself time deciding whether to purchase (cheap version) of Palin’s Book, but finally decided to wait for AKM’s review. I will buy the online version of Going Rouge, because I realize I couldn’t stand seeing a picture of her face in my home…keep her confined to my computer. Wonder how her book sales will finally stack up to the media hoopla.

Great advertising for Going Rouge.

Star Jones… is she the one who had abortions due to the inconvenience of pregnancies but now goes around lecturing women on the evilness of having an abortion? Fox sure likes to diss on women in difficult situations but has no problem hiring the hypocrits.

We all realize the fact that these were ‘ Entertainment Show ‘ people and not real Journalists. Just Opinion people… like Faux news.
And we all gleefully pointed out that the ‘ typical ‘ Palin Fan could confuse the covers. It was the Fans that were the most worried about being confused.
( They obviously don’t think very highly of themselves… that they could be duped in this manner )
This Entertainment Show must know by now that one of the books will be sold ONLY online and not in Book stores and so the premise of their Lead story line could not really happen. The story is less interesting if told this way… but oh well. This is only ‘ Entertainment ‘… and not News though so we can let it pass. With still more 2 weeks from the debut and more stuff coming out/ leaked I just hope Oprah doesn’t softball this interview.

Sauerkraut…. no, the person who had several abortions and now lectures against its evils would be “Star Parker”.
Star Jones was formerly on “The View”. I don’t see Star Jones in a positive way, either, but she is not the person you were thinking of when you asked the question.

I think Oprah will be subtle. And that’s okay.

In NO way do I mean to be mean but the idea of AKM “singing” Palins book made me laugh out loud. God, I’d give anything to hear that!!
November 1st, 2009 at 11:54 AM
As an Alaskan, it’s the least I can do to support the humorous side of the demise of the S.S. Palin…..and oh my, my, the husband is going to gush when he finds out I got an additional 10% off today!
Besides, it’s getting to be that cabin fever time of the year around here – a little light reading always goes a long ways to shortening those long dark days, Also too.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:12 PM
A Fan, lol, I don’t think even AKM could do that without laughing so hard she would not be able to see through her tears……she may try it to see if she can, lol. Cute and funny.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:13 PM
Satire or sabotage….let me see…..I LOVE IT….Kudos to you guys. At least she was dressed more appropriately on the cover of Rouge, but alas always in red. Keep up the good work, it’s been a long scary year.

I can hear it now:
From Wasilla
And the chill-a
I am witty and pretty and wise…
I’m a quitter…but I’m bitter over all the lies.
I see Putin
Yah darn tootin’
And the people who don’t are just dupes…
I’m a fighter…and I’m doin’ this for all the troops.
November 1st, 2009 at 12:22 PM
I don’t think that ‘Going Rouge’ is Satire or Sabotage; It is going to detail the factual truth.
I agree with, Polly. I would buy the book (on-line). Palin is not welcome in my home. I understand the book only being purchased at OR publishers-don’t want Amazon, Target and Walmart to compete and bring down the price.

A great video from Robert Greenwald of Brave New World. He has done some incredible videos this year. I believe AKM said she would read the “other” book. I suspect there will be some Levi trashing, media trashing & a whole lot of poor me victim, victim, victim. I don’t want to give her one thin dime. The few zingers will be out the minute the book is out. As for the rest, please spare me, I am sure each & every one of us has had a more interesting life & would tell our life story with more honesty & integrity.

I can only imagine that those who raced out in their haste and paid full for $P’s rag have already requested a refund in order to pick up a ‘reduced’ copy at Walmart.

I don’t know what AKM sings like but doesn’t really matter if its like Rex Harrison singing Henry Higgins. I want a CD
It is an hysterical typo though.
Between that image and The Paven – Too Much.

I can hear it now:
We have had a couple of discussions about writing a musical (though personally I think Grand Opera would would work better. Lots of draymer, andd dead bodies, vindetta, statutatory rape, betrayal, lies, Satan rising from hell to claim his prizes, ((Faust and Don Giovanni)) the whole ball of wax. )
In any case your hired.

Marnie #18 – sounds like a typical day in Wasilla!! Thanks for the hire. I work cheap.

I got nothing but: SP is crazy!

After hearing she asked her father what was going on ,on certain days. I kind of think she is going to be telling about her growing up and how she cam to God and how he helped her win games ect.I am sure their will be parts about Levi but I think she will try to make her self look good and forget about how she incited people to riot and commit violence.I think she will continue to play the victim even though President IMO had a lot more thrown at him than she ever had.

Title of McQuittyPant’s book: Going Rogue
Title of Levi’s book: Going Nuts
Title of book from people of Emmonak, Marshall and Eagle: Going Without

Jees I just went over looking for a contact page for De DE and commented on a page that was gushing about Hoffman I made the mistake? of saying that the republican party stabbed her in the back and forced her out. and because they were praising palin. I said the dems liked her in the mix but the republicans not so much as she cost them the election .Boy did that set them off.Guess I won’t go back to that place. They have a spelling police also.I forgot to use spell check cause I wanted to get out when I answered them before they jumped all over me again.Guess it was one of her followers sites

@jobojo1
I feel bad for you in your foray to the dark side. But I also, too think if they have spelling police, that doesn’t sound like Palin fans. They’re all about the mavericky spellings and optional punctuation and complete sentences.
November 1st, 2009 at 7:41 PM
I dunno, Desa, but that last title is more appropriately along the lines of “Abandoned.”
Mirage @7 – thanks for that correction. Not a fan of The View so I’ll not comment further.
November 1st, 2009 at 7:52 PM
@ a fan from chicago:
I hope it was clear I wanted AKM to sign my copy of the “satire” book Going Rouge, not Palin’s… propaganda. 
glad i could give you a laugh!!!
so… can we put up an AKM-autographed copy of the satire for a raffle or something???
