Sarah Palin’s Book Already No. 1 Pretty Much Everywhere
Much to the chagrin of her critics, Sarah Palin is literally burning up the book charts across the board. It’s 38 days until the book goes public and it’s already #1 on Amazon and #1 on Barnes & Noble.
Sarah Palin’s Book Titled “Going Rogue”
This from Michelle:
The AP reports that Sarah Palin’s memoir will be published on Nov. 17.
The title is “Going Rogue” — an allusion to the in-fighting between Team Sarah and the McCainiancs that broke out in the last weeks of the campaign.
Should be a good read.
Cheney Reveals Frustration With Bush In Upcoming Book
Former Vice-President Dick Cheney is notoriously tight-lipped. We know from years of reporting that he often prefers to listen rather than speak. As a result, when he does speak people tend to listen.
According to The Washington Post, Cheney will be doing quite a bit of speaking in his upcoming memoirs.
In his first few months after leaving office, former vice president Richard B. Cheney threw himself into public combat against the "far left" agenda of the new commander in chief. More private reflections, as his memoir takes shape in slashing longhand on legal pads, have opened a second front against Cheney’s White House partner of eight years, George W. Bush.
Cheney’s disappointment with the former president surfaced recently in one of the informal conversations he is holding to discuss the book with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues. By habit, he listens more than he talks, but Cheney broke form when asked about his regrets.
"In the second term, he felt Bush was moving away from him," said a participant in the recent gathering, describing Cheney’s reply. "He said Bush was shackled by the public reaction and the criticism he took. Bush was more malleable to that. The implication was that Bush had gone soft on him, or rather Bush had hardened against Cheney’s advice. He’d showed an independence that Cheney didn’t see coming. It was clear that Cheney’s doctrine was cast-iron strength at all times — never apologize, never explain — and Bush moved toward the conciliatory."
The two men maintain respectful ties, speaking on the telephone now and then, though aides to both said they were never quite friends. But there is a sting in Cheney’s critique, because he views concessions to public sentiment as moral weakness. After years of praising Bush as a man of resolve, Cheney now intimates that the former president turned out to be more like an ordinary politician in the end.
Time Magazine reported last month on Cheney’s anger over President Bush’s refusal to grant Scooter Libby a full pardon. Cheney claims he will detail the heated exchanges he had with Bush on that issue in his book.
If the above quotes are any indication, his book should prove a fascinating read. I always take heat when I say this, but I think Dick Cheney was a great Vice President — maybe one of the greatest.
I do think he bears a significant portion of the blame for Iraq turning into the disaster it did, and the history books will rightly reflect that.
Besides Iraq, I think his steely resolve on national security issues and total disregard for his own popularity were a great asset to the Bush presidency and to our country as a whole.
Review: “Culture Of Corruption” By Michelle Malkin
If you really want to know what Obama “hope and change” is all about you need to read Michelle Malkin’s new book Culture of Corruption.
The media didn’t try to learn a damn thing about Barack Obama when he was running for president. Even now, the media is uninterested in holding his administration accountable for its words, its actions, or its policies.
In Culture of Corruption you’ll learn what makes Obama tick and who the major players in his administration are.
Malkin does an exceptional job of laying out a roadmap of corruption, cronyism, criminality, and Chicago thug politics that lead straight to the White House.
What you’ll discover is what many of us who actually paid attention during the election have always known, that Barack Obama is a radical community organizer from Chicago with an extremist agenda to remake America.
President Obama has infected every level of our government with labor unions, ACORN types, and radical czars that are accountable to no one.
Most Americans would be pretty shocked to discover we have a ‘Green’ czar that is an admitted communist.
A chapter in the book I found particularly interesting deals with Michelle Obama. What you learn about the first lady is that she’s no selfless public servant as the media would have us believe.
She’s in fact a tough-as-nails political operator skilled in the ways of phony victimhood, cronyism, and Chicago machine politics.
You’ll learn about the cronyism that landed her cushy jobs and the so-called ‘reform’ she brought to a Chicago hospital that amounted to a cynical patient dumping ploy targeting the poor.
It’s only been six months since Obama took office, but what you’ll learn in Culture of Corruption is that this is by far the most corrupt administration in recent memory.
Not only should you read Culture of Corruption — you should give it to everyone you know.
