RSSAn Overview of an Overview of Palin’s Book–Part II

You can always tell a Leftist. You can’t tell them much but you can always tell them.
Ok, that’s an old line but a line as true with regard to the Left as the day it was first uttered.
Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue: An American Life, 
due for public release on November 17th was probably targeted by the Forces of Darkness, the Left/liberals/mainstream media/Democratic Party, as soon as HarperCollins announced its publication.
Ever on the alert to discover conservative flaws and errors, the Associated Press assigned no less than eleven attack dogs to fact check the book and came up with little ammunition–6 alleged inaccuracies in the memoir’s 413 pages. Fact-checking the AP fact checkers, the revelations are exposed as mostly reporter opinions and misrepresentations.

As Moonbattery.com illustrates, Sarah Palin is right on target: 
Part One of Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg’s overview of the book’s six chapters was previously overviewed here. (http://bit.ly/wdUqw) What follows are other tidbits gleaned from Trachtenberg’s commentary:
The Saturday Night Live Appearance: Palin bodaciously admits that as a teen, she snuck around under her parents’ radar to catch ”SNL” and jumped at the opportunity to appear on the show where Tina Fey had been surreally impersonating her. She was to experience “a nice mom moment” with Fey and Fey’s daughter. To her credit, she snubbed another guest on the show that night, director and re-interpreter of history, Oliver Stone, because of his hero-worship for Hugo Chavez. Why she didn’t also snub another guest, Alec Baldwin, is a mystery but I guess she figured she had to talk to someone on the SNL set.
Palin’s Wardrobe: Palin denies the farcical allegations that she ran up a huge clothing tab and that she had ever asked “the New York stylists to purchase clothes, many of the items were never worn, many others were intended for the use of other people.” Neither was it true that “I or my family had been on any kind of ‘big-time shopping trips.’ ” She also wondered, “why no other candidates or their spouses were being asked a thing about their hair, makeup, or clothes.” Sarah must be kidding about that wonderment.
On Resigning the Alaska Governorship: Miscalculating the venom of the national media toward a conservative, Palin expected to re-assume the duties of the job she loved as governor but the Alaskan character assassins had unsheathed their daggers and she was inundated with lawsuits in the capital and she her family were constantly harrassed in Wasilla. Formerly amicable relations with the local press turned less than friendly. The MSM were “sniffing for tabloid stuff,” with reporters, “camped out at the end of her family’s driveway . . . badgered her parents and siblings.” Then there were the “unrelenting” blogosphere smears and Letterman’s slander of daughter, Willow. Sarah had had enough even if she was amused by fabricated rumors of divorce. As she wrote, “Divorce Todd? Have you seen Todd?”
Financial Issues: Beleagured by legal defense bills surpassing half a million dollars and pressured by the McCain team to pay a $50,000. “vetting” tab–which they deny–she came to believe that, “To do this job, you either have to be rich or corrupt.” [Right, again, Sarah!] She resolved to do the right thing for herself and her family by resigning: “I was at peace and confident in my decision,” which was unrelated to any designs on national office but was related to the media hatchet job resulting in her family’s reputation being “shot to hell.” http://bit.ly/a7UTD
Trachtenberg describes the memoir as “at times chatty and intimate, and at other times argumentative and outraged.” It sounds like a great read to me.
