Here is an overview of the long awaited book by Palin that was a best seller before it was in the stores: <BR> <BR><a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/11/13/palins-book-the-overview/" target=_top>http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/11/13/palins-bo ok-the-overview/</a> <BR> <BR>Excerpt: <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>... <BR> <BR>Remember Palin’s interview with CBS’s Katie Couric? “I have had better interviews,” Palin writes, noting “I choked on a couple of responses, and in the harried pace of the campaign, I mistakenly let myself become annoyed and frustrated with many of her repetitive, biased questions.” <BR> <BR>Nor was she pleased with the way the interview was edited, saying she believed it was cut in such a way as to purposely make her appear uninformed and out of touch. She had been told that the interview experience would be “mellow,” while focusing on “balancing motherhood and my life as governor.” Instead, she writes, she was victimized by a strategy designed to show her in the worst light. <BR> <BR>“When I saw the final cut, it was clear that CBS had sought out the bad moments, and systematically sliced out material that would accurately convey my message,” she writes. “The sin of omission was glaring.” <BR> <BR>She does single out some who during the campaign offered support and encouragement, specifically Sen. Joe Lieberman, a close friend of McCain. Prior to a key debate in which the prep advice was becoming overwhelming, Lieberman urged her to “Be yourself,” she writes. Sen. Lieberman then added: “Don’t let these people try to change you. Don’t let them tell you what to say and how to think.” <BR> <BR>...<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>

Check out two positive reviews before the spoofs and negativity begin to flow: <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>Talk show host John Ziegler wrote the most positive review of the book for Mediaite.[20] According to him, "this is by far the best book and greatest literary achievement by a political figure in my lifetime." In particular, he praised Palin's honesty, which he claimed "goes way beyond typical political self-deprecation and into the realm of instructive human introspection, the type of which can only come from someone incredibly courageous, grounded, and self-aware." He also enjoyed the book's critique of the media.[22] Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh has called the book "truly one of the more substantive policy books I've read."[23]<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Rogue:_An_American_Life" target=_top>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Going_Rogue:_An_Ameri can_Life</a>
