Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska and Republican Vice Presidential candidate with John McCain in 2008, is about to have her much heralded memoir published this week, and early reports about her interview with Oprah Winfrey and reviews of her book indicate that she sees herself as a victim.
Instead of addressing her real shortcomings and faults in an honest memoir, she chooses to blame McCain campaign advisers, Katy Couric of CBS, and Charley Gibson of ABC for her disastrous performance during the Presidential campaign.
She fails to mention the father of her grandson, Levi Johnston, who himself is quite a character, but has been part of a family rift since the breakup of his relationship with her daughter. He has said that IF he was mentioned in the book in a derogatory manner, that he would reveal all kinds of secrets about the “true” Sarah Palin, and interestingly, he is not mentioned at all, which leads to great suspicion about why he is ignored in the work.
Palin’s memoir also has no index, which is odd, making it more difficult to track down specific points of information without scanning or reading the entire memoir.
Of course, the memoir also had a ghost writer, and was produced in record time, so no one should think this is really Sarah’s doing primarily. As an author of a scholarly work myself, I know how tedious and time consuming writing a book can be, but Sarah seems none the worse for wear LOL 🙂
And get this: Rush Limbaugh has read the book and feels it is one of the best books he has read recently, which tells us he does not do much reading of serious works. But then again, did anyone with any sense really believe that Rush is a learned man who reads serious books that challenge his mind? In fact, the question is does he have a mind to begin with? LOL
