Sorry folks, another Sarah Palin diary.
Bear with me though, you won't have seen a lot of this.
Some of it is funny, some of it will make you furious.
I'm not much of a writer, and this will probably be disjointed, I am doing my best to give you a clear picture of the current state of play.
Andrew Halcro, an old hand at being at odds with Palin has suggested he will be suing her. He is not a man to be taken lightly.

November 16, 2009: On Friday after they received an advance copy of Sarah Palin's new book, the Associated Press called me to get a response from the two hundred plus words that Alaska's former 1/2 term governor dedicated to me.
My favorite passage as read to me by Rachel D'Oro at the AP was when Palin referred to me as an "effete chap."
An effete chap? Who am I, Nick Carraway in the Great Gatsby?
And by the way, when did Palin start using 17th century Latin in her dialogue?

However, once the book is on the street beginning Tuesday, those throughout Palin's 413 page pity party that suffer the wild blows of her imagination will come forward with guns blazing to refute the revisionist history Palin has penned.
From the brief passages that Palin has written about me in her book, the terms unmitigated lies, narcissistic delusions and libel came to mind first.
Obviously she never learned the timely Confucius warning:
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."
Beginning Tuesday...the people whom Palin has attacked in her book will start reaching for their own shovels.

Some of the funny stuff

Says she wasn’t used to fancy hotel rooms (Fancy hotel room anyone?), but learned that Bristol’s pregnancy had been outed while she was brushing her teeth looking at the flat screen TV embedded in the bathroom mirror. If only she had been able to be up front about it from the start, but the McCain campaign botched it.
Repeats the lie that Barack Obama told the media to lay off his family and they "obeyed him", but they trashed her family. In actuality, Obama had asked the media to lay off HER family.
snip...........
She worked on two speeches – one victory and one concession. Everyone else knew McCain was toast but the "B Team wouldn’t give up." She just wanted to say thank you to John McCain and that she and her family are proud to be Americans and..... "also wanted to say a word – finally – in appreciation of the Bush/Cheney administration’s efforts." (No, I’m not kidding)
snip..........
John McCain says he’s going to thank America. She says "I want to thank YOU!" He says, NO SPEECH. She finally gets that there will be no speech. Time to get on stage, but she’s not ready and doesn’t know where the giant entourage from all across Alaska is. She wants to go on stage with the whole family. She walks on stage with Todd and everyone she could find and the speech still in her hand. She wants five generations of her family there.
This site has been getting a lot of attention, some of the content is controversial.

What an exciting day we had yesterday! The unexpected email from Christopher Goff, Senior Vice President at Harper Collins, made our day. Many things happened as a result: We made lots of new and important friends, received a large amount of new visitors and the blogsphere showed its muscles and closed ranks in solidarity (many thanks again to Andrew Sullivan, Wonkette and Buzzflash for linking to us).

Christopher Goff, I personally would like to thank you for this fascinating reading experience and for the fact that you published Sarah's book. A world without "Going Rogue" is already unimaginable. Never before has a politician exposed herself in such an embarassing way in front of a world-wide audience. What an achievement! Thanks, Harper Collins, for NOT fact-checking the book. I get the impression that you actually didn't like Sarah Palin too much - because you tell a "real friend" if he/she got something wrong, in order to help him/her. It's clear that you had no intention of helping Sarah and correcting her lies before they were going to be published.
Extra time with Palin and Oprah
Is it just me, or does Oprah look as if she wants to smack Palin upside the head?
And just to show how we all see things differently, the view of a Palin fan on the Oprah clip
I hope the actual 1 hour intervview that we will all be seeing today is as good as that 8 min clip, because if it was she hit it out of the park. She even had Oprah looking like she might support her. Hey Oprah its all good, by the time 2012 comes around Obamas only supporters will be far left loonies and the media
To that all I can say is, Doh!
Some bits about the book that cracked me up
Meanwhile, the media blackout continued. It got so bad that a couple of times I had a friend in Anchorage track down phone numbers for me, and then I snuck in calls to folks like Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and someone I thought was Larry Kudlow but turned out to be Neil Cavuto’s producer. I had a friend call Bill O’Reilly after I was inundated with supporters in Alaska asking why the campaign was "ignoring" his one-air requests for a McCain campaign interview. I had another friend scrambling to find Mark Levin’s number. Aboard the campaign plane I was within twenty-five feet of reporters for hours on end. Headquarters’ strategy was that I should not go to the back of the aircraft and talk to the press. At first this was subtle, but as the campaign wore on, Tracey or Tucker would call headquarters to request permission, and someone in DC would respond, "No! Absolutely not- block her if she tries to go back."
Besides addressing her views on the McCain campaign and the media, Palin, a passionate Alaskan hunter, takes aim at vegetarians. Palin states, "If any vegans came over for dinner, I could whip them up a salad, then explain my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?"
The accommodating host went on to explain, "I love meat. I eat pork chops, thick bacon burgers, and the seared fatty edges of a medium-well-done steak. But I especially love moose and caribou. I always remind people from outside our state that there's plenty of room for all Alaska's animals -- right next to the mashed potatoes."
Her Literary Taste Tends Toward the 7th Grade Palin's favorite books are middle school classics The Pearl by John Steinbeck and Animal Farm by George Orwell, the latter of which she considers an uplifting political story. If those pigs beat the odds, so can I.
And something to make your blood run cold
Update - THE BIG LIE ON VIDEO

Watch the first two minutes of Hannity and compare to Oprah - LOL - Guess you need a good memory to be a good liar.
