According to Times Online (via HuffPo) Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin
is looking at a likely book deal that will get her upwards of $7 Million.

That is a lot of walking around money for a simple hockey mom from Wasilla,
and will likely give her the confidence she needs to make it througanother Katie Couric interview.

But what would someone like down-to-earth Sarah Palin do with
$7 Million? Here are a few things she can now afford:

3 Alaskan Governor's jets

23 of those crazy dresses Cindy McCain wore to the RNC

46 $150,000 shopping sprees

28 Theoretical Joe the Plumbers

175 actual Joe the Plumbers

15,555,555 cans of Diet Dr. Pepper

2% of a Bridge to Nowhere


:lol thats alot of money for a coloring book.

[Jelly]

oh god. why can't this woman just go away?
But seriously... who's gonna write it for her?

[Anti.Hero]

lmao at you silly little hypocrites. Obama already has 2 books. STFU.


She will make $7 mil while you all scrape the bottom in this shit economy. :toast:toast:downspin: Sounds pretty smart to me :lmao

[baseline bum]

I didn't figure she could read one, much less write one.

I'd still hit it.

[Nbadan]

God must have told her to write a book....the Palin Bible?

[Tully365]

Palin will probably end up like Paris Hilton, trying to sue her own ghostwriter because she doesn't agree with some of the facts in the book.

[kwhitegocubs]

She was a journalism major. I hate to possibly defend her, but I'm guessing she will at least have a large amount of written input, if not write most/all of it on her own.

[Capt Bringdown]

I'd still hit it.

Regarding Palin's alleged "hotness," have Americans gone mad? She looks like a frick'n tranny.

[kwhitegocubs]

A) Looking at Anti-Hero's pic, I would have to disagree.

B) Do you realize how much money pornographers make on transsexual porn?

Would you walk away from 7 million? Do you have a story worth telling, like are you the Governor of a State, or were you on a presidential ticket?

And as already mentioned, she is well educated.



Funny how at times when you wish to put someone in a bad light, you end up in that light instead.

[johnsmith]

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! A politician that will better herself and family financially by writing a book. Now that is just awful.......................wait, they all do that................nothing to see here folks, just more obsession over Palin.

[Supergirl]

The title of Sarah's book will be: Y Kant Sarah Read

By what extreme stretch of the imagination could you possibly label her as educated??
She may seem well educated to some hicks in Texas (and Arkansas and Alabama and Kentucky etc. ), but to the rest of the country and the world she is shockingly stupid and uninformed. Even well-respected Rebublicans and McCain's own staff couldn't get over how ignorant this woman was. As far as the book? Well, yes... it is amazing that Forest Gump managed to get on a presidential ticket. There's the story in itself and that's the sole reason why she has fascinated the press and the public. Her unbelievable level of stupidity. THAT is what people can't get enough of and that's the reason for all the attention.

[clambake]

well said.

[kwhitegocubs]

By educated, I think the posters (including myself) have meant...educated. As in, she has a collegiate education.

No, I don't think she is "STUPID", I think that she was horrifically uninformed and that ther ambition was muted by her laziness in learning about national political issues. I mean, she was quoted as saying "I want to be President" when she was a newly-elected Mayor of Wasilla. Now, that's cool and everything, but I wish she would have actually attempted to learn about the issues facing a National Office.

You also have to realize - Alaska is a whole 'nother world. It is quite close to its own Sovereign Nation in policy, geography, etc... She was much more informed about Alaskan issues even in her 2006 Governor's debate.

Damn, defending her feels so dirty - like I fell into a vat of oil.

This explanation is fair enough. But then, I think people should reconsider what they mean when they say "educated". To me, it is a person with an educated mind. Someone worldly and knowledgeable regardless of whether they went to college. I know plenty of people who never stepped into a college classroom that are very well educated and informed. Most of the people posting on this forum- even the ones who so adamantly support Palin - appear far more informed than Palin herself.

People like Sarah Palin are living proof that one can graduate college in the U.S. and remain largely ignorant and uneducated.

Well, yes, technically she has a "college education." But if I recall, it took her 5 years and 5 different colleges to eke out a diploma at a pretty crappy podunk college. Not what you'd say the most stellar academic achievement.

And her degree is in "sports journalism" or something like that. Not the most rigorous academic discipline, and certainly not at the podunk school she attended.

And yes, I'm a snob. I come from academic parents. I can't help it.

[JG Wentworth]

Yea she's dumb.

Hmm, well, I've gone to two colleges - Drake U. and Western Illinois. I will likely receive credits at a third but graduate from WIU (long story). They are actually fairly highly-rated and selective colleges, but I have a feeling they'd be called podunk.

I started out as a Journalism major but switched to English.
In high school, I had a 33 on my ACT and received numerous awards at regional and state competitions for Math, Science, and English.

But if you saw - went to three schools and graduated from Western Illinois (even if I had a 3.81 GPA...which I do), you might think it's not worth much. I'd have to strongly disagree.

[ChumpDumper]

What percentile of intelligence are you in?

[ducks]

seems pretty smart to try to make 7-11 million

people here are jealous she can make that much

that is more money then most here will make in their whole lifetime

[kwhitegocubs]

ChumpDumper, I assume you were adressing me, but I am not totally clear on the criteria. If it's IQ (Stanford-Binet, 162), then it is: 99.9947.

A 33 on the ACT is somewhere above 99, but I'm not sure what exactly. All I can find is that "31 and above" is in the 99 percentile.

[ChumpDumper]

It's a joke. The guys in the back of the class will snicker about it.

[kwhitegocubs]

Hmm?

Is that your measure of a person? How much money they make?

And you really think the ability to make millions is the mark of a smart person?
Then you must think Britney Spears and Lyndsey Lohan are f*cking genuises. And if either of them were to write an autobiography, they would sell millions of copies. Because they are such intelligent, talented and fascinating people.

I honestly believe just about every person on this board (except you) is more intelligent than Palin.

Why? I don't think along the same lines as ducks and I can spell.


You on the other hand strike me as the exact same person as all the other board liberals. Same old tired shit posted every single day, over, and over, and over, and over again.

You disagree? You honestly think the board libs or the board conserv's are different in any way?

Look at all the threads started by all the libs.............same old shit.

This forum is a perfect example of what is wrong with our country.

Have you ever heard of punctuation marks? They come in handy when trying to convey a point. You don't have to go to Harvard to be smart, but it is a pity that whatever school you went to (and I'm talking high school... please don't tell me you made it to college with your level of grammar) has failed you so badly.

Vince Young made it to college and he can't read a playbook.
