PJ: Another report about the Palin tell-all that has Palin gossip fans nodding as if they knew about her all along. I suppose in fairness, most people knew that the glossy cover must have hidden a whole lot of scandalous pulp underneath.
Tell-all book dishes on Sarah Palin
By Lesley Ciarula Taylor
Sarah Palin exploited her family, hated being governor, despised Newt Gingrich and skirted the law more than once, a leaked copy of an aide’s tell-all book claims.
Frank Bailey worked his way through 60,000 emails from and to his former boss when Palin was the governor of Alaska for the book, Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin, which hasn’t been published yet.
Copies of the manuscript, which agent Carol Mann says is “not a finished draft” have been circulating for days. The first disclosures popped up Saturday in the Anchorage Daily News.
Now The Daily Beast website has spilled what it calls the highlights of Bailey’s memoir.
“Let me say for the record she (Bristol) had not just given birth,” wrote Bailey to dismiss rumours that that Palin’s daughter, Bristol, was the mother of Trig, Palin’s fifth child. He had visited Palin in hospital the morning of Trig’s birth.
But Trig, who has Down’s Syndrome, was often a convenient prop during Palin’s campaign.
“Sarah, in her amibition, possessed an empathetic void. I believe she loved her children but she had interpersonal blinders.”
Those blinders went up again when Bristol became pregnant and Palin had to announce it to the world, Bailey wrote.
Palin twice crossed the legal line, Bailey wrote: during her 2006 campaign for governor by using the Republican Governors Association to shoot a campaign commercial and again during Troopergate, when Bailey insists he was following his boss’s orders to investigate former brother-in-law Mike Wooten.
Bailey also reproduces these emails Palin sent him:
• “I hate this damn job.” Less than three months before she resigned as governor in 2009.
• “Huck’s a good pick for me.” Supporting former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, rather than running mate John McCain, during the primary.
• “Yes (Newt/GOP) are egotistical, narrow minded machine goons. God protected me from getting up on stage to praise him . . . like that good ol’ rich guy is the savior of the party.” After Palin skipped a fundraiser for Republican congressional campaign committees and the U.S. House speaker appeared in her place.
Palin has had no response to the disclosures.
