I must say it sort of is reafirming to hear all the nonconservative women bashing her, I always thought I was less of a women for thinking equaly negative things about Hilary, but turns out it is now ok to not want every woman to do well in a man’s world if she goes against everything you hold dear, while still calling yourself a feminist.

First of all, I am a conservative (but only fiscally), and I don’t dislike Palin because she’s a woman, I dislike Palin because of her political and social stances and her firm belief that she is able be VPotUS, despite not even knowing what a VPotUS does.

And I like Hillary Clinton just fine, thank you very much.

ETA because I fat-fingered something.

ETA because I think I missed LDB’s point the first time: If Palin had been a man, she wouldn’t have even been considered for VP. Feminists want equality with men. Is equality being achieved when a women succeeds because she has boobs?

If I read non fiction I’d read this, unfortunatly I don’t and besides it always sort of bothers me when people start publishing memoirs so young. As for all the strong opinions on Palin, I must say it sort of is reafirming to hear all the nonconservative women bashing her, I always thought I was less of a women for thinking equaly negative things about Hilary, but turns out it is now ok to not want every woman to do well in a man’s world if she goes against everything you hold dear, while still calling yourself a feminist.

I wonder who they will get to ghost it for her?

I think we all need to worry now about Palin in 2012. I keep this site as a clickable link on my desktop http://www.palinaspresident.us/never/index.html

I couldn’t stand to hear her speak so I certainly will have to give her a book a pass if it will rehash or reintroduce her stump speeches that quite frankly, made not a lick a sense to me. I’ll wait like everybody else and read the highlights.

Yes, I’m shallow, but while I’d give Sarah’s memoir a pass, I’d love to get my hands on a pirated copy of Playgirl’s spread of Todd Palin. Wait, Playgirl folded, right? Okay, any of those gay men’s adult magazine then.

Wait, it’s Palin and the religious right love her.

I predict Palin’s book won’t earn back the advance, but that’s the publisher’s problerm.

Weren’t there discussions earlier about publishers needing to change their business model?

You could not pay me to read her book.

I wish she could have kept the clothes. It’s the “Pretty Woman” fantasy come true–I can’t begrudge her that!

Hee. So larceny’s OK if it fits the fairytale? I’m glad the world *doesn’t* work that way! If we go by Hansel and Gretel’s story, murdering old women is hunkydory too ;)
