From the "I Can't Believe She Gets a Book Deal" department, news that publishers are lining up to offer Sarah Palin a book deal about her recent experience being plucked from obscurity as McKain's Vice-Presidential candidate. Please note that I cannot look at the woman without channeling Tina Fey and I cannot imagine why anyone would want to read about her shopping sprees or cameo appearances on Saturday Night Live.
On the other hand, no one, and I mean no one wants to publish the memoirs of our current president. He is being advised to "wait a while" before even thinking about putting pen to paper.
So let's get this straight. People are willing to pay for a book by someone who lost the election for vice-president BUT NOT a book by someone who actually held the office for eight years. Anyone wonder why publishing is not exactly a straight forward business?
Let's also get it straight that I don't think EITHER person should write a book that would be worth reading, BUT that is not the point. Once again, it is all about celebrity and popularity which just goes to show you how important it is to have national recognition BEFORE you write that best seller.
Which leaves me angry, jealous and disgusted once again with the entire industry. By the way, I have a great title for her, Drill Baby Drill. Maybe people will think its about root canal.
