Predictions for Sarah Palin's Book

Author C. Brooks Kurtz has made some predictions for Going Rogue, Sarah Palin's forthcoming book. Here is a sampling:
I’m sure David Letterman is putting His Best Man On It in regards to the inevitable “Top 10 Revelations in Sarah Palin’s New Book.” References to moose, Levi Johnston, Willow Palin, Todd, Russia and pit bulls should be copious. Maybe they can juxtapose a Roman Polanski child-rape joke in there for good measure. I won’t be surprised if the entire week’s Top 10s aren’t dedicated to the Palin theme.

Of course, we’ll also get the nightly clown-car of CNN, Headline News and MSNBC gathering together a baker’s dozen of talking heads speculating who wrote the book, seeing as how they concluded long ago that Palin is completely illiterate. FOX will have positive coverage, though make no mistake, ol’ fair and balanced Bill will make sure and have Geraldo or Mark Lamont Hill on to bash, bash, bash away, then lament that “Ms. Palin is always welcome here at The Factor.”

[...]

Then, I suspect, once the dust settles and once all the mockery has settled down, Americans will begin finishing Palin’s book, and if it’s anything like every other thing Palin has done in the last year, it will be electrifying for some, infuriating for others, and I suspect by Christmas it will be clear whether or not Palin is running for POTUS. The initial run of 1.5 million is ambitious, but I imagine a second-printing will be ordered within days of the first, especially once the book starts getting play on talk radio, which [it] inevitably will.

  1. oh. so. true.

    I couldn't resist "putting my oar in" regarding Sarah's book. It is going to be the highlight of the remainder of my year, for crying out loud, and I have my own piddly book coming out. I'm more excited about hers!

    If anyone is interested in a satirical prognostication (with fangs):

  2. I suspect she will not just be running for President but will be working hard to take away Obama's Congress majority earlier than that. Her father is already doing that. Being able to prevent the Democrats bankrupt the country in 2 years may be nearly as important as getting it back in 4.

  3. When all's said and done, the pundits miss the point about Sarah - she's great because she is incredible and yet so very like the rest of us or at least the kind of person we would like to become. Caring, attractive bold and fearless - all in a great package yet hugely misunderstood or envied by liberals, atheists and self-confessed intellectuals.
