Her book is already done! Coming out in November. This lady doesn't mess around like the Clintons did on their books. Anyway, this is going to be a best seller, bigger than Harry Potter, maybe bigger than the bible.
But I have no desire to read it.

And who at Fox will get her first. I imagine it'll be Greta.
marketwatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Get ready for Sarah Palin-mania, part two.
snip.
Her first chapter, in national politics, exploded then fizzled when the former Republican vice presidential candidate unexpectedly retired as governor of Alaska in July. Now, Palin is back, as her memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life" has been moved up by the Harper imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The book has been moved up to Nov. 17 from next spring. The publishing house said it is distributing 1.5 million copies of Palin's book -- an enormous commitment -- and it will cost $28.99. The electronic edition won't be ready until Dec. 26.

I'll bet a bunch that not one word came from her own fingertips. She had nothing to say through a whole campaign and now all the sudden 400 pages later she will become interesting? Bwahahahahahaha!! Give me a fucking break. 400 pages, huh? What 300 pages of photos?
Can anyone spell 'ghostwriter'?

400 pages but no word on the type size or how many blank pages between chapters. I hope the chapters have titles. So much fun.

Written by a fan.
Sarah's book
snip.
Madame's book was put on Barnes and Noble's website and on Amazon.com today for pre-sale. It is already climbing the bestsellers list like a New York Times reporter climbing a tree after being chased by a bear when digging for non-existent dirt in Alaska. Going Rogue: An American Life has already reached #1 at Barnes and Noble and #11 at Amazon , at least as we speak, even though it isn't being released until November 17th. I can now "leak" part of Madame's book, the synopsis:
Sarah Palin burst onto the political scene at the height of the 2008 presidential campaign and overnight became a national sensation. Adored by the right, bitterly reviled by the left, she is the most polarizing figure to emerge in American politics in decades. Yet for all the dirt digging and gossip that has surrounded her, very little is actually known about who she is, what she believes, and above all, about her plans for the future. In her new book, Sarah Palin tells the story of her Alaskan upbringing, her marriage and family life, her political career, her religious beliefs, and her meteoric rise to national prominence. With her customary blunt common sense, she sets the record straight about the many myths and lies that have been spun around her and lays out her vision for an America that is strong, independent, and free.

Here is a woman, Sarah, who is so intellectually lazy that she couldn't read a news paper or even name one during the campaign. Now we're to believe that she could write anything at all of her own? RWers sure will buy that bullshit but not real thinking humans. Caustic, how many copies are you going to buy?
Loosecannon will probably buy a couple cases of them and God knows what he'll deposit between the pages, huh?

Oh, was it in a book somewhere? ( GUFAAW-LAFFRIOT)
If I were in any public foreign policy debate today, and my adversary were to raise the Bush doctrine, both I and the audience would assume -- unless my interlocutor annotated the reference otherwise -- that he was speaking about the grandly proclaimed (and widely attacked) freedom agenda of the Bush administration.
Not the Gibson doctrine of preemption.
Not the "with us or against us" no-neutrality-is-permitted policy of the immediate post-9/11 days.
Not the unilateralism that characterized the pre-9/11 first year of the Bush administration.
Presidential doctrines are inherently malleable and difficult to define. The only fixed "doctrines" in American history are the Monroe and the Truman doctrines which come out of single presidential statements during administrations where there were few other contradictory or conflicting foreign policy crosscurrents.
Such is not the case with the Bush doctrine.
Yes, Sarah Palin didn't know what it is. But neither does Charlie Gibson. And at least she didn't pretend to know -- while he looked down his nose and over his glasses with weary disdain, sighing and "sounding like an impatient teacher," as the Times noted. In doing so, he captured perfectly the establishment snobbery and intellectual condescension that has characterized the chattering classes' reaction to the mother of five who presumes to play on their stage.

Sarah Palin's Ghostwriter Pals Around With Racists and Wackos
snip.
Lynn Vincent, the woman who is writing a book called Going Rogue "by" Sarah Palin, sure can pick her co-writers. She's written books before with a general who kills "demons" for God and a guy who finds interracial dating "revolting."
snip.
In summary, Sarah Palin's book will be awesome because her ghostwriter has abundant experience in shaping the confused, fevered thoughts of religious fanatics into sentences.

GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush -- well, what do you -- what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view.
GIBSON: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war.
PALIN: I believe that what President Bush has attempted to do is rid this world of Islamic extremism, terrorists who are hell bent on destroying our nation. There have been blunders along the way, though. There have been mistakes made. And with new leadership, and that's the beauty of American elections, of course, and democracy, is with new leadership comes opportunity to do things better.
GIBSON: The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?
Gibson should of course have said in the first place what he understood the Bush Doctrine to be--and specified that he was asking a question about preemption. Palin was well within bounds to have asked him to be more specific. Because, as it happens, the doctrine has no universally acknowledged single meaning. Gibson himself in the past has defined the Bush Doctrine to mean "a promise that all terrorist organizations with global reach will be found, stopped and defeated"--which is remarkably close to Palin's own answer.
Consider what a diversity of views on the meaning of the Bush Doctrine can be found simply within the archives of ABC News itself:
September 21, 2001
CHARLIE GIBSON: The president in his speech last night, very forceful. Four out of five Americans watched it. Everybody gathered around the television set last night. The president issued a series of demands to the Taliban, already rejected. We'll get to that in a moment. He also outlined what is being called the Bush Doctrine, a promise that all terrorists organizations with global reach will be found, stopped and defeated.
September 21, 2001
CHARLIE GIBSON: Senator Daschle, let me start with you. People were looking for a Bush Doctrine. They may have found it when he said the war on terror will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped or defeated. That's pretty broad. Broader than you expected?
LAFFRIOT!!!
Hey Charlie, what was that Bush Doctrine again?
LOSER did

Lynn Vincent, the ghostwriter does have fans.
csmonitor
snip.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that – unofficially, we’d estimate that 90 percent of the books published by politicians are heavily ghost-written. (A notable exception: Barack Obama, whose “Dreams from My Father” was considered by many critics to have real literary merit.) In Palin’s case, help came in the form of Lynn Vincent, a senior writer for the conservative Christian publication World Magazine.
And to judge by Vincent’s record, Palin’s choice was a sound one. Vincent has proven commercial success: “Same Different as Me,” a book which described the friendship between an art dealer and a homeless person, sold 560,000 copies, and logged 75 weeks on the best-seller list. That’s no small achievement at a time at a time when the publishing industry is shrinking faster than an Alaskan summer.

PL, Krauthammer's cheerleading op-ed aside, most people use the term "Bush doctrine" to define the type of pre-emptive strike that Bush used to justify the U.S. going to war against Iran.
GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush -- well, what do you -- what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view.

GIBSON: The Bush doctrine, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?
PALIN: I agree that a president's job, when they swear in their oath to uphold our Constitution, their top priority is to defend the United States of America.
I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people.

CHARLIE GIBSON: The president in his speech last night, very forceful. Four out of five Americans watched it. Everybody gathered around the television set last night. The president issued a series of demands to the Taliban, already rejected. We'll get to that in a moment. He also outlined what is being called the Bush Doctrine, a promise that all terrorists organizations with global reach will be found, stopped and defeated.
now go wipe that egg off you face.

Oh and by the way.
Can any of you PIGIGNORANT liberals tell me when it was NOT the policy of the United States to defend itself preemptively?
The right of preemptive attack is an element of the right of self-defense, which is a natural right of states and was a bedrock of international law before there ever was a "Bush Doctrine.

PL, Krauthammer's cheerleading op-ed aside, most people use the term "Bush doctrine" to define the type of pre-emptive strike that Bush used to justify the U.S. going to war against Iran.
Oh really?
Yes really -- Charlie Gibson clarified the part of the Bush doctrine in question -- pre-emptive strike or 'preventive war,' and it's a fairly standard definition:
http://www.aei.org/outlook/15845
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_Doctrine
Bush had several "doctrines." As I said, Gibson clarified the one he meant in his question to Palin.
I like the way Froomkin defines 'Bush doctrine' best, though:
And to be completely accurate, there have been several Bush Doctrines over the years. Another dramatic announcement, you may recall, was his declaration on Sept. 20, 2001: "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime." (Or, as he put it on Feb. 11, 2002: "You're either with us or against us; you're either evil or you're good."
And then there was Bush's second inaugural address, when he pledged himself to spreading freedom and ending tyranny in the world.
The one thing all these Bush Doctrines have in common is that they are, at this point, utterly inoperative.
As I suggested in my August 18 column, the current Bush Doctrine could perhaps best be described as "Incompetence and Internal Warfare."

You're embarassing yourself.
There was no clear Bush doctrine, as even the stupid liberal interviewer has conceded by his differing statements.
If he didn't even know what it was, how should she?

sure there was.
I'll give you an example.
Bush clearly stated that if the UN was not going to meet its reponsibilities, the United States was going to meet its.
Unlike a certain blovaiating gasbag liberal who spoke there last week, his words meant something.
He demanded that Saddam Hussein comply with the Un Resolutions( unanimously agreed to by the UN ) or he would remove Saddam Hussein.
And he sure did that, didn't he?
How much clearer can you get?

Which is the Bush doctrine in a nutshell, emphasizing the nutty part -- and glossing over the fact that the UN did not agree with Bush at the time.

One of Bush's Doctrines was no nation building. We see how far that lie got, huh?

Except that Ritter is usually right.
