Palin to promote her book with multiple Fox News interviews: ‘Variety is the spice of life.’
On her Facebook page yesterday, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin announced that she was “very excited about the upcoming road trip” to promote her book, which will be released later this month. As CNN’s Alexander Mooney notes, Palin “hinted she’d likely sit down with a string of friendly faces during the tour that begins in two weeks.” Indeed, Palin is hoping to do interviews mainly with Fox News hosts and contributors:
We’re in the process of arranging interviews with local and national media. An interview with Oprah Winfrey is already scheduled, and I’m also hoping to have the opportunity to talk with Bill O’Reilly, Barbara Walters, Sean Hannity, Greta Van Susteren, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Dennis Miller, Tammy Bruce, and others, including local Alaska personalities Bob & Mark and Eddie Burke. (Variety is the spice of life!)
As Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) vice presidential running mate in the 2008 election, Palin gave Fox multiple interviews while avoiding other news efforts. Apparently, she plans to follow the same strategy as she promotes her book.

Of course, can’t have moose boogers getting her feelings hurt by someone who knows how to read.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:50 amC’mon Sarah, just give us one interview with Katie Couric.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:50 amWhy doesn’t she just do a spitroast on-line with Hannity and Beck, and just get it over with already?
I am so glad that Watertown voters kicked her and her cohorts in the teeth.

November 4th, 2009 at 11:53 amIt’ll never happen. she won’t get near anyone who will have actually read her book. If she did, she might have to endure constructive criticism…. And we can’t have her doing that now can we?

November 4th, 2009 at 11:54 amSarah, you may want to cancel the one with Tammy Bruce; she might want to lick you silly right then and there.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:55 am“Variety is the spice of life!”
Said Sarah Palin, as she mounted the baloney pony belonging to Todd’s ex-business partner.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:55 amYou mean the book someone else wrote for you?
Do have to get assistance for toileting, too?
Has Levi Johnston got his advance copy yet?
Why is the centerfold in your book a picture of a gutted Moose?
November 4th, 2009 at 11:56 amVariety??? Gimme a freaking break!
Her list looks like a long parade of fawning sycophants who will do little more than gush and lob softballs.
I want to see her hawk her book on The Daily Show. The only problem for her with that is that Jon Stewart tends to actually READ the books of his guests. Which is probably more than Palin has done.
And what about the Today Show or GMA? What about a redo with Katie Couris on CBS? It’s already a given that Palin doesn’t have the guts to face Rachel Maddow, and she is probably still seething at David Letterman. But would she be willing to go on Morning Joe? Hardball? The View? Didn’t think so.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:57 amWell, sure. You gotta target your marketing.
When you’re publishing a book about NASCAR, you don’t promote it on LOGO; you go to Speed Network.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:57 am“Oh, we’ve got both kinds: Country AND Western!”
She’s expecting variety…while being interviewed by slew of right wing commentators (and the odd celebrity-chaser like Oprah and Barbara Walters).
The echo chamber must feel nice and comfy. Like a security blanket made from wolf fur.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:57 amOh my God, Why can’t this woman just go away? She LOST her bid as Veep. She QUIT her job as Govenor. And yet for all her failures, the Repugs and Faux News treat like her like a queen. WTF?
November 4th, 2009 at 11:58 amNow all she needs is someone to actually do the interview. Even Fox can’t make her sound intelligent.
November 4th, 2009 at 11:59 amWhat do you bet that NONE of these Faux Newsies will ask her any questions about the failure of her endorsement to help Hoffman in the NY-23 race? Thank you, voters of NY-23! And will anyone ask her about the title, “Going Rogue?” After all, the meaning of “rogue” is “a dishonest person; a rogue, a cheat; a vagabond; a tramp; a sturdy beggar; an unprincipled, dishonest, deceitful and unreliable person.”
November 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pmShe couldn’t have chosen a better title. Nope, Faux will continue to suck up to Sarah, will continue to be unfair and unbalanced.
Wow. Cooo-el. Turn your nuance amplifiers to MAX and your oatmeal/pablum/bullshit detectors OFF. Wouldn’t want to miss a microsecond of the sparkling variety from the Fux talking heads saying the same thing over and over again. (pico-snark)
@7. lokidog … ‘baloney pony’? Truly excellent.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:00 pmThat would be priceless. She would have a complete meltdown and call the show a tool of socialists and terrorists because she can’t face a comedian. Hell…William Kristol. Douglas Feith. Lynn Cheney. Mike Huckabee. Pervez FREAKING Musharaff. All came on the show and got essentially fair interviews.
What is Palin afraid of…other than having to step out of the alternate reality she clings to so dearly.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:01 pmI wonder if Palin even read her own book.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:01 pmI don’t know why she even needs to promote her book, they’ve already all been sold to FOX and to Right Wing Think tanks for cheesy give aways.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:01 pmThey’ll be in the $1 bin soon enough.
Amazon is selling the book at a 69% discount….and it hasn’t even been released yet. HAHAHA
November 4th, 2009 at 12:05 pmPalin can see Russian from Alaska but she can’t see CNN or MSNBC from Fox’s Studio?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:06 pmwhat i give to be a power tech on those up and coming shows,,, As i would just turn out the lights on her like McCain staff did to her.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:06 pmThat be funny OPPS sorry think the power got tripped but a ghost of a dead wolf.
Baba Wawa, that’ll be frank and candid.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:07 pmPalin “hinted she’d likely sit down with a string of friendly faces during the tour that begins in two weeks.” Indeed, Palin is hoping to do interviews mainly with Fox News hosts and contributors:
Aw, comeon moosebreath, just cozy up to Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert and have a receptacle handy to put your ass in when they’re done with you.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pmI’m very excited about the deep discount WorldNutDaily will give Sarah’s “Gong Vague” the day it is published.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pmJon Stewart should interview a cardboard cutout of Palin – would be priceless.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:08 pmI want to see her hawk her book on The Daily Show. The only problem for her with that is that Jon Stewart tends to actually READ the books of his guests. Which is probably more than Palin has done.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:09 pmAfter the Daily show, she ought to take it to The Colbert Report.
What!?! No interview with Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow??? Say it ain’t so Sarah.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:09 pmOne cannot live on FOX alone…
November 4th, 2009 at 12:10 pmGosh, do you think she just might have quit her job as Governor to cash in on her 15 minutes of fame?

and most likely a better interview than the supposedly live version..

LMAO! I’d put money on the cardboard cutout knowing more about real issues facing the country and reading more newspapers.

Pennsylvanianne says: After all, the meaning of “rogue” is “a dishonest person; a rogue, a cheat; a vagabond; a tramp; a sturdy beggar; an unprincipled, dishonest, deceitful and unreliable person.”
So that’s a perfectly good use of the word! (Well done!):D
Also let’s not forget it’s common application–”rogue elephant”!
November 4th, 2009 at 12:14 pmTo those above: Make Palin go away? NO NO NO! Palin 2012! Definitely Palin 2012!! Perhaps she can run with Bachmann on the Dumb and Dumber platform. (Bible Spice Girls: “Oh, what I want, what I really, really want” is god in your bedroom and to find those darned communists in Congress!)
Oh please, please, please, let Palin be the GOP candidate in 2012!
And Sarah, darling, we do not need to know about the spice of your life. Waaaaay TMI.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:14 pmOne day this will be true:
Sarah who?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:18 pmMan, you’d have thought that by now we’d have at least one troll defending her “hawtness”.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:19 pmActually, it makes sense from a marketing standpoint: Fox viewers are the loons who will buy her book.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pm…unless one is a teabagger who believes Sarah Palin “stands for freedom”
November 4th, 2009 at 12:21 pmOne day this will be true:
Sarah who?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:21 pmPlease, let it be true.
It’s not surprising to me – she wants to sell her book, which means she needs positive coverage. If she goes outside the Faux bubble she’ll be laughed at or ignored. She won’t get any customers who live in the Real World anyway, so it doesn’t make sense for her to try.
She’s a crazy ignorant frothing narrow-minded idiot – but she’s not stupid.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:21 pmThe woman is close to mentally ill: a hysteric who chatters, chatters, chatters with nothing to say (which means she’s speaking to hide something unavowable)–her aggression, I imagine. She is always ready to knife someone. For the life of me I can see nothing that would attract a voter, after she has revealed how incapable she is as a governing official.
But mainly, she has shown how impotent the ‘rebellion’ touted by Boehner & Co. is. Time for the media to stop this show.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pmGovernor’s Palin & Palwenty, American Taliban members.
Palin quit.
Pawlenty has essentially done the same. MN sees him some weekdays, between ‘important’ conservative speaking gigs.
It would take a large room to hold both of these egos at the same time, but their intellect could be conjoined in a matchbox.
Any chance we’ll see both of these wannabe’s in 2012?
Palin / Pawlenty or Pawlenty / Palin? (Sarah likes to be on top)
Kind of like tomahtoe & tohmaytoe, I suppose.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:22 pmIt’s probably wise on her part not to allow herself to be interviewed a real journalist. It wouldn’t go well for her.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:23 pmTHE MORE SHE TALKS THE MORE DAMMAGE SHE DOES TO THE REPUCKS GREAT I WONDER IF SHE EVEN READ HER BOOK.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:24 pmWhat exactly could this empty-headed bim write about that anyone would find even remotely interesting or captivating ?
A well-below average intellect coupled with a terrible record in office along with the labels of “LOSER” and “QUITTER” aren’t even worth a blurb in The National Enquirer , much less a book deal………
November 4th, 2009 at 12:24 pmI bet now that Moosebreath won’t be able to re-bill Alaska or the RNC she will be flying solo on her road trip.

Eh, the trolls are pretty much no-shows today. Oh, STORM made a brief appearance to gloat about the anti-gay Maine vote, but I fully expected a lot more end-zone dancing about McDonnell and Christie. Maybe they’re still crying in their beer about Doug Hoffman.

November 4th, 2009 at 12:29 pmThat’s a shame, I find myself strangely eager to go troll-blasting today.
I guess we’re just going to have to trust Oprah to tear her a new one — and I wouldn’t be surprised to see that happen.
Oprah could easily stick the knife in and twist it before the Pentacostal Pork-Barrel Princess of Wasilla even knows she’s bleeding.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:30 pm“Palin “hinted she’d likely sit down with a string of friendly faces during the tour that begins in two weeks.””
“Driver, stop! STOP I say, I see a string of friendly faces!”
“Uhh, those are cows, Ms. Palin, we’re in the lower 48 now…”

Her contract with Rupert “Merde” Murdoch and Roger Ailes to be the Fux Noise Candidate and President in 2012 requires her to promote the book which was ghostwritten by Fux’s finest comedy writers and printed by a press which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Murdoch’s Noise Corporation.

*No roadkill mooseburgers were contributed to soup kitchens after random candidate bus tour encounters; we stand proudly by our conservative compassion for our homeless and poverty-stricken fellow citizens; they should obtain their own campaign bus and moose license; give a man a mooseburger and he’ll be hungry again tomorrow, but teach him to kill moose, and you’ll have an NRA Life Member, as soon as he finds the ladder to get out of the hole he’s in.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:33 pmshe will be flying solo on her road trip
I hear that her marriage is on the rocks. Since she is under such scrutiny these days, she probably can’t afford to have an affair or patronize a male prostitute. Therefore, she’s probably doing a lot of “flying solo” these days (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean? know what I mean?).

Zing!

November 4th, 2009 at 12:33 pmWow, talk about staying in your comfort zone! What’s so friendly about Laura Ingram?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:34 pmHad an interesting thought about Sarah who? What if she had won the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant, would her life turned out differently? One can only imagine.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:35 pmShe would be an anchor on a FoxNews morning program.
November 4th, 2009 at 12:38 pmThis thread is full of LOLZ!
November 4th, 2009 at 12:46 pmTP must be having some server issues.
I opened the Palin page & just got a completely blank page.
Then I realized the irony, & haven’t stopped laughing since!
November 4th, 2009 at 12:50 pmZim, same thing happened to me without the irony part. TP, what up?
November 4th, 2009 at 12:56 pmVanity is the spice of Sarah’s life.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:04 pmYIKES! When I first read this I thought I read…
“Palin “hinted she’d likely sit down with a string of friendly feces during the tour that begins in two weeks.”
November 4th, 2009 at 1:07 pmShe should go on David Letterman. She could reprimand him for his past transgressions. What could go wrong Sarah, don’t be afraid.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:21 pmWhy is this woman and her press tour even being covered by TP? Is it keep your friends close and enemies closer?
November 4th, 2009 at 1:36 pmI’m rather sick of Sarah Palin, aren’t you?
The sad part is that Barbara Walters will probably be the most “trying” interviewer of that group.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:36 pmNope. She’s the gift that keeps giving. Keeping her in the spotlight only helps America realize that she is a freak show of a crackpot loon.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:38 pmThe best defense against the crackpots and loons are to let them espouse their opinions. Eventually, the public will catch on to what they represent and ignore them. In time, Palin will wear out her welcome and the only coverage she will get is from Fox.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:44 pmHost: “What’s your book about?”
Bible Spice: “I’ll have to find out and get back to ya”.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:52 pmI look forward to the day when we can tell her her 15 minutes are just about up and she needs to get her things together quickly.
Also, I see that amaxon.com has reduced the price of her book from $28.99 to $9.00. Oh my!
November 4th, 2009 at 1:54 pmSorry, should be amazon.com.
November 4th, 2009 at 1:54 pm“Sarah Palin announced that she was “very excited about the upcoming road trip””
“By golly, we’re heading for a bridge! Look at all the pretty orange barrels! Where does the bridge go to, driver?”
“Nowhere, Ms. Palin.”
November 4th, 2009 at 1:58 pmBut Good Doctor, you’re preaching to the choir in this forum.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:05 pmAs Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) vice presidential running mate in the 2008 election, Palin gave Fox multiple interviews while avoiding other news efforts. Apparently, she plans to follow the same strategy as she promotes her book.
First rule of public speaking: Know your audience.
November 4th, 2009 at 2:07 pmMORE PALIN QUOTES TO LAUGH AT !
Will Palin interview with Olbermann ? Colbert ? Maddow ?
What treatement will Fox give her now that her support has deep sixed a republican Congresswoman and still didn’t get the conservative elected ?
Are you sure this isn’t a fictitious reality show ?
November 4th, 2009 at 2:13 pmWelcome to Softball Interviewapalooza!!
November 4th, 2009 at 2:43 pmI want to see Caribou Barbie do The Daily Show. I mean, Jon is usually very polite to republiidiots (well, except Tweety & Cramer) who come on his show.
That’d be one interview I would DVR.
November 4th, 2009 at 3:16 pmTwo week? Will that be enough time for her to finish reading the book for the first time?
November 4th, 2009 at 4:40 pmShe’s too chicken to go on Jon Stewart. Hell, she’s too chicken to do any show but Fox, except for Oprah. I hope Oprah tears her a new one.
November 4th, 2009 at 4:40 pm@ 48. CheeseFlap …
As always, an excellent summation of the days tragicomedy, but today, Dear CheeseFlap, I must take exception. As a poor soul who has had his lunch eaten by a couple of flavors of FORTRAN, and never in a public relations or flak business context, I think your second line would find an equally appropriate expression as ‘”COBOL” marketing process’.
November 4th, 2009 at 5:04 pmSarah, why don’t you do us all a favor and just GO AWAY…
BTW We had a block party in our neighborhood for Halloween and the woman across the street from me “dressed up” as Sarah Palin…She wore a “you betcha!” label on her blouse and another label stating: “I can see Russia from my Kitchen window.” Totally hilarious…
I won’t be buying her book as I’m sure it’s full of half-truths and outright lies (at least from a normal person’s perspective; don’t know about her personal perspective, though.)
November 4th, 2009 at 5:43 pm
