Sarah Palin Signs Deal to Write a Memoir

Basically, Sarah Palin is a liar and bends the truth to fit her own needs, she is a power monger and one would hope that the good people of America have the good sense to keep her out of national office. For her book, who cares?

The same could be said of most politicians.

It is unbelievable the lashing that this woman gets.  Bernie Quigley a great writer at The Hill's Pundits Blog has some insightful comments I want to add to this.  " the shadow is fierce with Sarah.  This tells us something very important .

"The Shadow is fierce with Sarah. Whenever I mention her name in an article I always

get the most ferocious hate mail and in the same banshee shrill screeching voice like

the horses the Black Riders make in The Lord of the Rings, whether it is from a

suddenly unhinged classical professor from a great university like the one I got this

morning, or just from a garden-variety schizophrenic cruising the internet. "

"This could actually tell us something very important about ourselves as Americans

today. Just before he died in the early 1960s, Jung warned of the dangers that could

result from America projecting its collective Shadow (as Chopra does with Palin) onto

the Soviet Union. This ferocity of feeling about Sarah, and the press attacks and TV

interviews set up to embarrass her are manifestations and reinforcements of this, could

mean perhaps that we are today beginning to internalize a conflict like the one we

began to externalize more than 100 years ago with the communists. But this time we

are projecting the same internalized hatred onto the American heartland

In one of the very first reactions to her, a regular New York Times commentator spontaneously compared Palin to Hitler. "

"The big people at The New York Times and the interviewers at CBS are the guardians of the cave. They warn against going there. For to enter the Shadow is to enter a cave, like the Mines of Moria — there will be dangerous encounters with cave trolls; goblins will stream down from the ceilings like rabid bats — like the armies of mice who would accuse her thereafter of overspending on her allowed clothes budget for her VP debate with Joe Biden and would even make the most savage and absurd claims, like her delightful new daughter was not really her daughter at all but her granddaughter.

 Welcome to the Dark Side, Luke."

A natural Warriior Women


1. She can deliver natural and biting satire in a funny way: parfum of The Simpsons, paraphrasing her speech here: ‘When they haul the Styrofoam pillars off Obama’s stage…. what is left that is real?’

2. She hired a writer who is an original rather than a ’speech-writery’ one… one who apparently enhances how/who she is, rather than trying to make her say lofty things. That’s not her style. (The speech writers of this election cycle, from ALL sides, often sound like the writers tacked together aphorisms from quote books they thought were deep, just changing the words around a bit.)

3. She has a huge talent for mimicking others, for observation of human traits, for memorization, as well as the knack for delivery that appears sincere; her gestures are absolutely cohesive.

4. She is fiercely feminine.

5. She is ace-smart

6. She is an outsider who tonight, consistently says disarming things ‘insiders’ would never say, hardly even think to say.

7. She has a good voice, not a whiny one. It’s slightly, as I said, to the satiric side, but also warm, clear, articulate.

8. She is bold and common-sensical regarding her own milieu, political and familial.

9. She is completely comfortable and gives the appearance of realness, as opposed to some of the thick personas slabbed on by some Washingtonians.

10. She is not afraid, not self effacing, not woman-only identified. She is a protectoress, a woman who guards the perimeters.

Later, I’ll offer some thoughts on the potential danger areas of some of her strongest traits.

For now, her standards and values and beliefs will no doubt be supported and quarreled with, slammed around, uplifted, condemned.

But, her innate gifts that she has honed and turned toward leadership, toward being a running mate now, her talents will continue to make her a formidable opponent. For anyone.

Beating the boys at their own game.good luck to her.I would be impressed just a tad if she donates some of the book royaltys to a worthwhile cause.
