HOWS THOSE PALIN BOOK SALES DOING, PEOPLE??

Remember when the right was telling us how great Palins books sales were doing? They were selling like hotcakes! They were outselling Hillary! Noone sold that may books in that short of time!! Palin is hot & her book sales prove it!!!

WELL PEOPLE, THAT WAS PURE UNADULTRATED RIGHTWING LYING BULLSHIT!!! THE BITCH WAS BUYING THEM UP HERSELF WITH PAC MONEY!!!! LMAO!!!!

Now the real kicker is, which the media missed, is she gets paid a Royality kickback on each book sold, so some 15-25% of that PAC money was funneled off into her pocket from harper Collins. LMAO!! Taking PAC Money for personal income just might be a big NO NO!!



Sarah Palin Uses PAC to Buy Her Own Book

Political Action Committee Paid More than $60,000 for Copies of 'Going Rogue' in Late 2009

Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, "Going Rogue," in order to mail copies of the memoir to her donors, newly filed campaign records show.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization spend more than $63,000 on what her reports describe as "books for fundraising donor fulfillment."

Sarah PAC spent another $8,000 on colorful bookmarks designed by a Nashville-based event branding firm.

And her committee paid her publisher $20,000 for what appears to have been the cost of sending her personal photographer and another aide along on her book tour. Those expenses are listed by the PAC as travel repayment to Harper Collins.

Sarah Palin: Modern snake oil salesman (none / 0)
There has always been ample evidence of Sarah's personal corruption.  From the way that she manipulated the Alaskan dairy industry to funnel taxpayer's money into the hands of her friends for pouring milk on the ground to how she tried to use state government to hound her ex-brother in law, Sarah has always been a study in how the hucksters use the gullible for their own purposes.

They always do this. (none / 0)

If they aren't buying their own book, then NewsMax is giving away copies of the book for three dollars to gin up more "sales".  Or Richard Mellon Scaife is buying truckloads of them to fill up a warehouse somewhere. The whole thing is a lie. 

But the most egregious, insulting lie of it all is them trying to get us to believe that conservatives read, when we all know that reading is for haughty, liberal, elitist, literati communists.

For shame, Republicans.  For shame...

I love Sarah Palin (none / 0)
Just when you think that maybe she can't stoop to a new level of corruption or idiocy, she somehow pulls off another gaffe. I mean, she's the gift that just keeps on giving... She's the Energizer Bunny of political buffoonery.  She keeps going and going and going.  

One of my favorite things to do when I'm bored is google for "Sarah Palin idiot" or "Sarah Palin gaffe" because there are always new results. I also search on YouTube for the same strings.  I just love to be entertained by her..

Sarah really embodies the spirit of the Republican Party and nobody could have created a better parody of a crazy conservative bitch than Sarah Palin does just by being Sarah Palin.

I really want to befriend her on Facebook just to stay up to date on her idiotic postings but my real friends my de-friend me... so I just check in on it from afar. You know, lately I'm starting to suspect that she isn't writing her own Facebook posts anymore... it's just too well-written.  

Sad part is, she's still got her die-hard base that will somehow justify continuing to contribute to her PAC...  stupid is as stupid does, eh?

Explain it to your friends. (none / 0)
I'll bet that if you tell them what an endless source of entertainment Sarah can be, they might want to friend her, too.  I think you have exactly the right perspective on her.  She is more fun to watch than any other politician!

Sorry,she has sold something like 2.5 mil copies.. (none / 0)

She bought the copies as gifts for when people donated a $100.  How you libs go berserk is so amazing.

 

She bought something like 4,500 copies. She's not exactly getting rich on the royalties!

What's astonishing is... (none / 0)
That of the 2 million she raised in 2009 only 3% of that money actually went to political candidates. Of that 3% most of it was donated on 12/31/2009 when someone on her team said "oh shit, this looks really bad, let's donate some money real fast to the causes we told people we would do".

Oh yeah, and she donated .0015% to charity. How generous.

97% of the money donated to the PAC went straight to Sarah's travel expenses, her food, her staff, her photographer, her assistant and her books.. oh yeah, and that's more like 12,000 books.
