    Default Former Palin aide writes book accusing her

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110523/.../us_palin_book

    " "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years" is due out Tuesday and based on tens of thousands of emails that Bailey said he kept during his time with Palin. It began with working on her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and continued through her failed run for vice president in 2008 and her brief stint as governor. "

    "Billed as the first Palin book by a former aide, "Blind Allegiance" bolsters the perception of Palin as self-serving, while casting Bailey as her enforcer — willing to do the dirty work, no questions asked.
    "
    Some things from the article:

    - "A former member of Sarah Palin's inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around."

    I can't blame her on that. It's not bad IMO to pursue your career.

    - "Among the claims made in the book: that Palin's 2006 gubernatorial campaign coordinated with the Republican Governors Association, or RGA, in violation of campaign rules. "

    - "...[In] what he describes as campaigns by Sarah Palin over the years to tear down others who have crossed or confronted her, he stuck around."

    It doesn't speak well of him, but more or less we knew by now that Sarah Palin was kinda vindictive. It's adds to her ... sex appeal for me. I don't know, just knowing that makes her more attractive to me.


    - " When Palin burst onto the statewide political scene, she was seen as a "breath of fresh air" amid the corruption that had seeped into Alaska politics. "We looked at her as ... that queen on a horse that could come in and save the state," he said. "As we started to see that that was not the case, I kept silent and I just kept on working." "

    Yeah, I remember when people said "Hurricane Sarah" and all that crap, before realizing how bad she would actually be.

    - "Getting Sarah to meetings and events was like nailing Jell-O to a tree," Bailey wrote. On the campaign trail and as governor, Sarah went through at least ten schedulers, with few lasting more than months. Nobody wanted the job because Sarah might fail to honor, at the last minute, the smallest commitments, and making excuses for her became a painful burden."

    LoL.

    - " Bailey claims her heart wasn't in governing after she returned to Alaska from her failed run for vice president. At home, she faced a barrage of ethics complaints — nearly all of which were ultimately dismissed — and Bailey said she told him as early as February 2009 that if she could find the right message to tell Alaskans, she'd "quit tomorrow." "

    Well, she did well to leave then.

    What? No dead bodies? No juicy details of the christian occult?

    This just in, tell-alls involve possible political scandal, not criminal acts. News at 11.

    No illegal wire tapping, no water boarding.....pass!

    Seriously that is not even close to being juicy. It is just a former aid trying to cash in on Palin's notoriety so that she can make a quick buck even though she has nothing of interest to say.

    It should surprise nobody that Palin is driven entirely by personal profit. That would be why she has a six figure contract with Fox.

    The exact details of the contract are not public, but it is reported to be six figures. It was signed in January 2010 and is a multi-year contract.

    She is one of the more painfully obvious politicians, at least most politicians hide it a bit.

    Me too. IMO I'm interested to know (celebrity-interest) what would be her next moves.
