Sarah Palin's memoir Going Rogue: An American Life is already selling well and according to the New York Post, Sarah Palin was said to have pocketed $7 million in advance for the book, but it seems as if her career as a speaker may not be going so well.

Sarah Palin has signed with the Washington Speakers Bureau, who also represents George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, David Blaine, and Laura Bush. According to the New York Post, Sarah Palin is asking for $100,000 per speech but an industry insider said to Page Six:

"The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot."

Most of the speaker series is a subscription series and many places are said to not want to book Sarah Palin due to controversy. The same insider said:

"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are interested in moose hunting," said our insider. "What does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads."

Many of course, would not agree with this viewpoint.
