Palin to write ... wait for it ... "thought provoking" book

NEW YORK (AP) — Sarah Palin has a new book coming, this time about Christmas.

The former Republican vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor has a deal with HarperCollins for “A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas,” scheduled for November.

Link to TPM Story




A book devoted to the War on Christmas (tm), scheduled for release in ... yes, of course ... November. Y'know, just at the right moment to suck more dollars away from her brainless, drooling cult.

the only "thought" this provokes in my mind is, "who in the HELL at harper gave this the go-ahead", or, as one of my friends asked, "who is she sleeping with now?"

“This will be a fun, festive, thought provoking book, which will encourage all to see what is
possible when we unite in defense of our faith and ignore the politically correct Scrooges
who would rather take Christ out of Christmas.” as written for S. Palin

Tell me again how anything S. Palin says, writes, or has written for her matters.

If she were serious about creating anything remotely thought-provoking she would attack the retail industry and how its hijacked the holiday with the emphasis on consumerism. If any party is responsible for the "secular" transition to "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" it's the business sector, not the "liberal elites" that you know she'll blame.

Instead it will just be a predictable, intolerant and borderline racist screed ignoring pre-Christian winter holidays, how the traditions of those holidays were absorbed into Christmas observations and the fact that there are other religions that have hoildays that occur around the same period of the calendar.

Faux has beaten that horse to death, but Mooselini knows she can grab a few more bucks from her mouth breathing fans.

ripe for kindling for the cold winters....

I expect it to be a NY Times Best Seller list (by the volume purchased to be sold in future 10 cent bins)

Some people feed the trolls. Grifters like Palin trolls her feed(ers), because it works.
