Word came out yesterday that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was paid a $1.25 million advance for her memoir, Going Rogue. Being that she was still the governor of Alaska when she received the payment, she had to report it on some kind of official state form. If it wasn’t for that, I guess we wouldn’t have found out that she cashed in to such an extent.
If it didn’t appear on an official government form, who would have thought publisher HarperCollins would have paid so much for Sarah Palin’s memoir? Not that fudging an official government form would be something Palin wouldn’t do. She is after all a Rogue. It’s just that when people falsify financial forms, they generally under report, not over report.
I think it’s remarkable that Sarah Palin would get paid so much for writing a book that chronicles so little. After all, it’s her memoir, right? What has she done in her life that would be interesting enough to require a book? She was governor of Alaska, but she quit her before her first term was complete. She ran as John McCain’s vice-presidential running mate, but she lost.

/ October 28, 2009Wow, that is pretty remarkable! I would have never thought the figure would be that high. On a somewhat related note, Levi Johnston just tweeted, “Would you show your WANG for $35,000?” He has been approached by “Playgirl” and it at this point there seems about a 90% chance he will be featured in their magazine. I just don’t even have to comment because what matters to Americans just speaks volumes with the cash that is doled out…
