When she officially steps down Sunday as Alaska’s governor, Sarah Palin will have another daunting task ahead of her, which again may prove too negative and stressful for her to take…writing her memoirs. Considering her history of getting out of the kitchen when it gets a little too warm, here are some suggestions to help her create what may very well become one of the top selling books in recent memory and make HarperCollins want to expand on the multi-million dollar book deal they have with her.
For the title:
A New Shade of Lipstick: How I, Not Barack Obama, Made the 2008 Election Historic (Geraldine Ferraro may think otherwise)
Barracuda: My Journey Through the Vast Sea of Politics, Celebrity Status, and Teen Pregnancy
I am Alaska (And So Can You!) (Hopefully Stephen Colbert won’t mind)
I’m a Pit Bull, Not a Rottweiler (Rottweilers Never Let Go)
In regards to the book itself, Palin should just take the reader on a tour from her days as a tough, intense high school athlete to her stint as a beauty queen, City Councilwoman, Mayor, Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (for less than a year), Governor, Vice Presidential candidate, and media darling.
Hopefully she won’t get halfway into writing it and decide that it isn’t worth all the further torment her family could go through as a result. If she did that, the American people would be deprived of what could be the most entertaining piece of "non-fiction" since Bill Clinton’s My Life, especially if the cover art and title are particularly enticing. Plus she could add another title to an already impressive resume: best selling author!
So how ‘bout it Governor?
Comments
There was a contest for her book name at the Mudflats blog, a wonderful political blog by an Alaskan writer. The winning name was "Sarah Vain and Simple."
Please check this site for all the entries and even a beautiful book cover.
Thanks Leah, I'll check it out!
Just curious... what makes you think it'll be non-fiction?
How about--
The Sarah Palin Idiot's Guide to Prolonging Your 15 Minutes of Fame
Well, it'll be listed as non-fiction but readers will know what they're getting.
I knew HarperCollins had had some hard-times off and on, but this? Can Sarah Palin actually string two sentences together on her own or will there be a ghostwriter involved? Sorry, if I sound crabby, but as a published author, who spent years honing my craft, I find a hack getting to slide by on pseudo glam a bit galling to the professionals.
Damn this guy gives new meaning to the word HACK, I know these bloggers are people who can't get real jobs, but this is pitiful.
Got something to say?
