Sarah Palin Searching for Book Deal – and TV?

By The Staff at wowOwow.com

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?

Belinda- Thanks for admitting “that you are just being a brat and picking on those with those that you don’t agree with”. Your words not mine. Keeping it real girl keeping it real:) Peace.

It’ll be ghosted because she’s basically unable to speak a coherent sentence that hasn’t been written for her in advance. The book out to be a real ego rip for her as if she needs any more than she has already. Yes I’d read Condi’s book too but Palin’s will be probably as you’ve stated. lolol

“Sarah Palin would read like a bad mix of a Harlequin Romance/Conspiracy theory/Taxidermy for Dummies yarn. But hey that’s just “MY” opinion.” — I think Palin’s book will depend on WHO gets to pick her ghost writer. —— The publisher will get her a professional skilled in making anyone look good (and handling ‘personalities’). Look at how well McCain’s writer did for him. —— Palin would probably lean toward a high school bud or someone she’s comfortable with that will simply transcribe what she wants written.. that would be a huge mistake! —— Realistically, she has zero chance of writing it herself, BUT if she did try to pull an Obama.. well.. that would just be hugely expensive to edit… but I bet they could get money for the unedited drafts.

Belinda- STOP. Take a bath, cool down, maybe lose some weight that you have be it physical or mental (try training for a marathon perhaps) and chill. What degrees have you earned by the way? Where do you work? You know have a real discussion like that. Show me that you are able to illustrate class and dignity.No need for the ugly words, Ms. Belinda. We have different opinions girl. No need to be ugly. If you are not happy with yourself then work on it. Maybe one day you will be able to be accomplish like Gov. Palin, Sen Clinton who is now our Secretary of State, Oprah…. Maybe work on having goals and if you do that then you can stop with the hate. I like Gov. Palin and you don’t. However, just because I like Gov. Palin you do not have to be nasty and have an attitude about it towards me and others. Get some love in that heart girl. Peace.

Tanja, exactly how do we know one another? When have we met? For some reason you seem to think I owe you some explanation of my online behavior, education, employment and appearance. I don’t have to justify who I am for you. You are nothing more than a username on a female oriented blog site with a generic avatar. Your assessment of who I am means absolutely nothing. You have read one too many self help and inspirational guides to life. You are espousing all the clichés of new age ideology, yet not backing it up with your own words. All the “Peace” talk means absolutely nothing and comes across as hollow. Welcome to the world of blogging. Lesson #1. You will encounter people who disagree with your views and opinions. This does not make them wrong and you right. Lesson #2. When fellow bloggers stray from the topic at hand and take it to a personal level, you can (a.) ignore their post or (b.) attack back. It is difficult to read statements made about someone you hold in high regard that differs from how you feel. Not one person on this site can argue that is not true. We have all been there. You like Palin, I like Obama. We hold differing opinions of both. So when an article is posted on either person it is clear what the threads of conversation will be. If it’s sticking to the topic at hand, that makes for a great dialog of ideas and beliefs. But sometimes, people (such as yourself) pick unnecessarily and add commentary that is not warranted. That is when exchanges like the one we are having begin. So as I said, you don’t know me, I don’t know you. You dig at me, you will receive the same in return, and that goes for any other person on this site dependent upon my mood. And if I choose to dig, contrary to what you believe, in doing so it does not reflect that I lack class and dignity.
