    Ew, I cannot believe you would put a filthy term like "santorum" in a headline.

    Why would you even say she has a "gift for prose"? If you wanted to defend Palin, why not go the whole maverick route? Claiming the woman is in any way articulate just seems like inviting criticism, to me. Of course, this is Santorum.

    Also, I laugh heartily at the idea of her doing a university lecture circuit. I mean, I'm sure there are places that would welcome her, but I just attended a talk at my own U last night, where a guy who identified himself as a Randian (though, importantly, he was very rude) got booed. I don't see Palin and her ilk flying well there.

    There was a contest a few years back to come up with the FILTHIEST definition of "santorum" after his comment that gay sex equated "Man on dog sex"

    here it is. NSFW

    I'm thinking about reading this book, just for laughs. But it's probably not really worth the effort. It would take longer to read it than she spent writing it.

    I wouldn't give her the bucks...someone is going to excerpt the good parts anyway, so I'll just wait.

    Real Americans don't care about literacy. She's real, y'all! She could have killed her baby, but she loves babies too much to do anything except attempt to force them into shotgun weddings.

    I would rather Tina Fey have written this book. She is writing a humor book, at least.

    Why do politicians insist on continuing to wave the Palin flag and insisting that she's some brilliant political savant when it's been made clear time and time again that she's nothing but a mean spirited, willfully ignorant barely literate demagogue from nowhere who shoots wolves from aero-planes? She's a national joke, and since she's hit the stage, her popularity has been on a purely downward trajectory.

    Latching onto Sarah Palin is the political equivalent of refusing to get on a lifeboat from the Titanic, insisting while it sinks that the ship is a very strong vessel, the strongest ever, and it will fix itself and you can't believe that no one else sees what a magnificent ship she is.

    Is that a newspaper she's holding? It only looks like one.

    Maybe the rest of them all are in that snazzy carry on.

    I seriously wish, though, that this woman would stay out of the spotlight. She is not relevant any longer.

    Did the rest of the world just forget all the times that she would speak and no one had any idea what she was saying? Like, IDK, when she resigned as Alaskan Gov.? Odd, rambling sentences, often with no point, delivered with a lot of air punching and winking?

    Yeah, you know who else has a gift for prose? Dr. Seuss.

    I do not like her with a fox.
    I do not like her in a house.
    I do not like her with a moose.
    I do not like her here or there.
    I do not like her anywhere.

    Having read transcripts of the speeches that Palin wrote herself, I have come to the conclusion that Rick Santorum and I have a very different definitions of "gift for prose." Maybe he meant rambling? She definitely excels in that field.

    If Sarah Palin had come to speak at my school I would go ballistic! She is truly irrelevant at this point in her career- doesn't hold politic office, has a flimsy record of public service, and is most famous for her failure to win a national office (that she was a longshot for all along.) I'm not saying there isn't an audience for her at Borders or some conservative churches. But a lecture in an academic setting implies that there is actual educational value to hearing her speak. That just simply is not the case.

    Of course, maybe Palin's book will be the kind of thoughtful, honest story that proves all the critics wrong.

    Hahahahhaa! Oh, man, good one Anna. Now tell the one about how rape isn't rape when it's a brilliant white director.
