Nice quote, but Dante’s family name is Alighieri. I’m sure he would have put Sarah in the Tenth Pouch of the Eighth Circle of Hell, with the Falsifiers of Words, or… Liars.
P.S. Thank you so much for your great blog

Clearly the publisher did no fact checking. One minor point- the McCain staffer who supposedly told Sarah to do the Kouric interview to help with Katie’s low self esteem- who could possibly believe that?

Sarah is simply a pathological liar who will say anything she thinks will cause someone to react as she wants them to react, with no regard for the truth, for verifiable facts or for what Sarah said yesterday.

\Probably due to her good looks, Sarah has gotten away with lying for her entire life, and it will be interesting to see her reaction at being fact checked by the mainstream media, which previously gave her carte blanche.

Yeah she got me going at “rogue” too.
If rogue is the new “good and righteous” what will she call all thoses nations that don’t fall lock and step with the American imperial agenda?
If anyone out there is actually planning to buy this book, don’t!!!!!!!
It will only encourage her.
If anyone does, please read it fast and pass it around so others won’t be tempted to buy a copy to findout what all the laughter is about.
Plus with so many blogs that will be doing commentary on it you should be able to assemble the complete printed ramblings of the rogue with lipstick in excerpts form.
Or better yet, maybe William Shattner will do a reading on tape of the insanity on paper of the rogue’s brain.
With the high cost of natural gas & heating fuel and the lack of progress to change that–thank you sarah palin–perhaps the vast majority of this wasted pulp can be salvaged and used in a heating program for some third world nation; like America–thank you gw bush, al gore, john kerry, and all the supporting players in Washington who sat back and watched it coming and then bailout all those that caused it. Both those active participants and those that sat around wringing thier hands saying “whoa are we don’t have the vote against so we must vote “for” least it will haunt my reelection bid.” Many of those are now sitting around still bemoaning but now the wails are “we need 60!!! Senator Lieberman what can we do for you!!!”

“Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here”
Dante Alleghieri, about Hell
——————————-
Good quote usage, AKM, but whether Truth or Hope……reading SP’s book would still be Hell to me.

I just had a CREEPY thought. When a movie about Anita Bryant comes around, Palin will be picked as the main character. After all, they have the same jaw line, eyes, lips, hair, anti-gay attitude. How spooky is that?

I saw some excerpts on another site, and had to laugh because there’s a quote where she’s blaming Nicolle Wallace for talking her into the Katie Couric interview, but in the quote she admits that Wallace had more experience with national politics than she did, so she went along with Wallace’s idea. So – she’s admitting she has less qualification for higher office than a campaign staffer.

Hilarious!

At another point she relates how she went around the backs of the McCain staff, who’d instructed her not to talk to the press – she claims she contacted someone in Alaska to get her the phone numbers of Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. etc. so she could sneak some calls to them.

What a great recommendation for her team-work skills and ability to stem leaks!

I don’t know what’s more pathetic, either – her willingness to stab her team in the back that early in the campaign, or the fact that she didn’t already know how to get ahold of Limbaugh, Hannity, etc.
