Sarah Palin Searching for Book Deal – and TV?

Sarah Palin’s looking for a new way to tell her tale. Rather than relying on that unreliable mainstream media — you know, the one she’s constantly bashing — Palin’s reportedly in search of a book deal. And she’s bringing out the big guns by hiring DC-based lawyer Robert Barnett, a lawyer who has represented the likes of Hillary Clinton Barack Obama and, most recently, Laura Bush.
Books aren’t the only option for Palin. The Hollywood Reporter speculates that the Alaska governor would make a perfect fit for television:
[Barnett] has handled TV deals for a lot of top anchors and reporters such as Brian Williams, Lesley Stahl, Neil Cavuto, Christiane Amanpour and Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
While not an immediate option, TV news is considered an intriguing possible future career path for the telegenic Palin.… With her good looks and engaging personality, she also has been bandied as a potential TV personality along the lines of other prominent politicians who have transitioned to television, including Mike Huckabee.
Palin’s hardly the only Republican looking for a book deal. Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently joined forces with the William Morris Agency to shop around her own tome. We’re not sure which woman’s work we find more intriguing. Certainly Palin’s will be a bit sudsier, but Rice’s international experience no doubt packs a page-turning punch.
So, readers, which lady’s literature would you rather read?
