Sarah Palin not wanted on lecture circuit


http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/sarah_lectures_tough_sell_Z6eKRnldUitBmiOfXCBjlI

SARAH Palin is said to have pocketed a $7 million advance for the 400-page memoir she turned in four months early, but she might not have such an easy time on the lecture circuit.

After quitting as governor of Alaska in July, Palin signed with the top-notch Washington Speakers Bureau, which also reps George W. Bush, Laura Bush, Condoleezza Rice, hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger, LA Dodgers manager Joe Torre and magician David Blaine.

Palin's bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an industry expert tells Page Six: "The big lecture buyers in the US are paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she is a blithering idiot."

2. NOT on Oprah's "Book of the Month".

I can't wait for the review in the NY Times and New York Review of Books.

3. Good! Some sane people are realizing just how "vile" she is.
It used to be that the charlatans were laughed at and not financially rewarded for their far-out kind of crazy. No more thanks to the whorish corporate M$M.

7. We can hope! :-) But honestly, I would be happy if she'd just fade into obscurity.
:shrug:

8. She was probably smart to cash out when she did.
7 million is a good payday. She'll get a few speaking gigs in sympathetic forums and then ultimately end up on radio or Fox TV. I doubt that she personally has any further interest in the public sector. She'll become a female Joe Scarborough, because her brief run as VP will continue to give her a modicum of credibility. Whether she will be a "one hit wonder" or have some staying power is the real question.

9. She had a ghost writer, but they can't get a ghost speaker
She would be worth more than 100k per speech if she could get a ghost speaker, especially if it was really a ghost.

10. Bahahahaha.
Guess no one wants to hear a bunch of rambling basketball analogies delivered in a fake Midwestern accent.

12. Personally I think the GOP is scared of her
Because she IS such a blithering idiot and an embarrassing reminder of the last election they want her out of the picture and she's not minding them. They made a Frankenstein monster with Sarah because she rules the Freeper Zombies and they can't win without 100% of the Freep Zombie vote. So they are working to take her out so she doesn't stand a chance to win any primaries and embarrass them further.

The Murdoch press is basically the propaganda arm of the GOP -- you can tell by the "fair and balanced" angle they're pulling what's up!!

14. Her 'people" will say she's available. . Then she WON'T SHOW UP.
I think THAT'S what they're afraid of.

16. "What at does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads." LOL!
"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are interested in moose hunting," said our insider. "What does she have to say? She can't even describe what she reads."

I think I could sit and enjoy a beer with the "our insider". :rofl:

17. Who is her publisher? Who is publicly hawking this book? Written
and finished early? I can't help but wonder how crappy it is.

19. About the only thing left where she could make some real $$
would be the gratuitous Playboy shoot/layout.
