John Ziegler's Review Of Going Rogue

Though his famous interviews (or attempts to get them) sometimes go overboard to the point where they resemble publicity stunts, there's no denying that John Ziegler is one of Sarah Palin's strongest defenders. One would expect his review of Going Rogue to be a very positive one, and one will not be surprised:

"I was simply blown away by Going Rogue on almost every level. For many reasons, this is by far the best book and greatest literary achievement by a political figure in my lifetime."

Lest the casual observer dimiss this as pure hyperbole, bear in mind that Rush Limbaugh called former Governor Palin's memoir "truly one of the most substantive policy books I've read."

Continuing with the review...

"Among other things, we discover that Sarah Palin has a ridiculously good memory."

Again, this judgment by Ziegler has backup. Elaine Lafferty, a Democrat who was a consultant for the McCain campaign, wrote of the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, " I'd heard rumors around the campaign of her photographic memory and, frankly, I watched it in action."

A few more excerpts from Ziegler's review:

As impressive as the details of the storytelling are, the real strength of Going Rogue is its brutal honesty. Quite simply, there has never been a memoir by someone with potential Presidential viability that has been nearly as open about what has really happened in his or her life and career.

[...]

Going Rogue is actually several books in one. It is a compelling biography, a gripping campaign tell-all, an expose on the sad state of our news media, a substantive outline of a political philosophy and even a comprehensive refutation of juicy tabloid rumors (Andrew Sullivan, among others, will have a lot of explaining to do).

[...]

I strongly believe that if every Republican primary voter reads this book, Sarah Palin will win the 2012 nomination in a landslide, whether she wants it or not.
