Really? When it was just announced she’ll be keynoting the Tea Party Convention? Agree with her or not, she’s a prominent, newsmaking figure.

I would guess that the reason the book was cancelled because it was about her rise and fall and not her rise and fall and rise again. There is no doubt NBC had it in for Palin (along with ABC and CBS and MSNBC and CNN and the NYTimes and all the other liberal media), but NBC (along with repeat above parenthetical) never expected Sarah to rise back up in the polls based on her book and her facebook postings.

She is a voice that will be heard loud and clear and the public isn’t interested in reading more BS, lies, slander and whatnot about Palin from some media person from NBC.

Making a speech for a bunch of teabaggers for $100,000 is small potatos. Sorry! Perhaps an address to the United Nations would be more impressive for free? Oh, wait…..she doesn’t speak english. Also, you’ll note that she’s now being ignored by the media. She’s now back to her death panels drivel. Maybe she should just attend a 6th of 7th community college?

Yes, they can just read the lies in her book. What you call having it in for her is bullshit! This idiot couldn’t answer what she reads. She doesn’t do intervews with any of what you call the liberal media because unlike fox they dared to ask the tough questions like, what do you read. Maybe she should just go teach an abstinence class?

You so scared of Sarah it makes me laugh.

Is the reading world tired of Palin? Hell, Newsmax is giving away copies of “Going Rogue” for $4.97 – it was a novelty, not a work of literature.

My feeling is that a book about Sarah Palin wouldn’t be marketable.

I mean, who’s the target buyer; Those whom disagree with Ms. Palin, who would just dismiss the book out of hand or those who like Ms Palin, whom would rather get the info from the horse’s mouth and may not be traditional non-fiction book purchasers?

Whoops! I forgot to close an italics tag and though I think the system may do it for me, I’ll just throw this comment up to make sure.

You’re clearly confused, Glynnis (to be charitable). Lemme help you out. Take a seat, and pay attention.

You wrote:

Michael Calderone reports that a former NBC reporter who was signed to Wiley to pen a book about Palin’s “rise to national prominence as the Republican vice presidential nominee this year, and her subsequent fall from grace,” is no longer working on the project, because there is no project…:

Now, what is the most important part of this bit of information? Think about it. I’ll give you some time.

OK, time’s up.

The answer is “and her subsequent fall from grace”.

Last time I checked, people who “fell from grace” don’t have millions of fans nationwide, thousands of whom were willing to suffer record-breaking cold in the dead of the night for an autograph and a personal expression of thanks. They also don’t write books that sell 300,000 copies on their first day and make a mockery of people who questioned the wisdom of a publisher’s advance of over a million dollars. And “fallen” folks don’t come within percentage points of being the most admired person of his/her gender in the United States.

As Palin herself said when she resigned as Governor, “I’m not retreating, I’m reloading.” Click! Click!

Now, let’s examine this part of your report, quoting Michael Calderone:

In December 2008, Berger signed a deal with Wiley to write a book on Palin, which he tells me is no longer happening. [Awww...poor baby! - LNS] “The marketplace changed, and we decided not to move forward with the manuscript,” Berger said.

What is meant by “the marketplace changed,” Glynnis?

Think hard. Harder than you did when you wrote this (presuming that you’re sincerely this clueless, and not just spinning like a top).

Time’s up!

Clearly, people don’t have a problem with reading about Sarah Palin. What people apparently ARE tired of is reading lies, smears, and hate directed toward Palin. That’s why while people continue to talk about the juggernaut that is Going Rogue, nobody is talking about Going Rouge, the lookalike poison-penned response from writers for The Nation, that leftist ragazine published on old Soviet toilet paper.

Obviously, the folks at Wiley decided that another book trashing Palin would likely not do any better than Going Rouge, so they’ll find something more productive to do with their money. Not media executive is as foolish as Dan Abrams. Betcha you’re thanking God that’s true, huh, Glynnis?

LN – you are a pathetic Palin (an a blogger wanna be) suck up. She is actually a bigger dumb ass than you are and that takes a lot of stupid. Oh the hate!!!!

No, counselor. Get it right. You get Going Rogue when you subscribe to NewsMax.

I’m not a “blogger wanna be.” I blog. Therefore, I am a blogger.

In the interest of not being a hypocrite when I say “Get it right,” let me correct myself: You get Going Rogue for $4.97 when you subscribe to NewsMax.

… if the world IS growing tired of reading about Sarah Palin, tell the MSM about that – they’re the ones who obsess about her and write about everything they can about her. Nobody’s fault but the MSM’s.

I think after her book came out, it became apparent that she was pretty much what her critics suggested: a complete airhead – a W. Bush with ovaries – a national embarrassment who almost got elected vice-president.

Grab your tissues, Smithee — no, not because there’s a picture of Palin on the screen — because I’m giving you some tough love: Palin is an idiot. Let that one soak in.

I love how condescending you are to Ms. MacNicol. Please, share with us the URL to your “blog.” And I hope it’s not smut (i.e. pictures of Palin and a bunch of white guys you wished you looked like!)

I’m just returning the favor. And giving her a daily refresher course in journalism, since she apparently went to a J-school where they taught her to only publish half the facts.

Please, share with us the URL to your “blog.”

It’s linked to my nick. Click and learn.

You might be particularly interested in this, which I wrote in 1998 and reposted in 2008. And stay tuned, tjl — in the next few days, you just might read about yourself and your ridiculous attitudes regarding race.

Haha. I’m sure she takes your daily refreshers to heart. Who are you? Right, nobody knows who you are.

Ha. I love your sight. You lost me at FreeRepublic.com. Loon.

And I’m honored that I’ve made that much of an impression on you. Of course, I’m a white male. Easy to do…

ImAPussy — I’m still waiting for your email…

All this scorn heaped on the woman who had huge sales, and upon her readers. What must you think of Nancy Pelosi, who sold a fraction of a percent as much last year?

Not a bad point. The book would have (probably) been one giant attack piece… and who’s gonna read that? The people who irrationally hate her (like Roxy) don’t need a book to help them… they can make stuff up on their own! The book would have a limited market of angry anti-Palinites, who like to read book that tell them what they already “know.” Not worth the printing costs.

And YOU are whom, exactly? See, the problem with what you’re saying is that it’s so easily turned back on you. Your ego prevents you from seeing yourself as anything but “super awesome,” but sadly… the rest of us aren’t afflicted with your ego. That’s why you look so pathetic.

I am super awesome, aren’t I! Thanks buddy!

And how do you turn things back on me? Am I giving Ms. MacNicol a “lesson” on journalism. All of your extremist right-wing rhetoric aside, tell me that Smithee is right for giving Ms. MacNicol a “lesson” and “daily refresher courses.” Or are you so very ignorant that all you do is spew hateful rhetoric?

Do you want to know who I am, ImAPussy? You have my email address… I’m still waiting…

@ImNotBlue: Both sides will most likely continue clicking on blogposts or watching television reports in record volume, but neither costs $16.95.

…and Barack Hussein Obama, MMmm MMmm MMMMM! had just how much more experience than Sarah? And if she’s really as insignificant as the left portrays her, why don’t they leave her alone? If she was a non-threat, why waste your breath? You guys are pathetic and grasping at straws.

tjl wrote:

Apparently she doesn’t, because she still twists facts and omits inconvenient truths in every single one of her pieces. At the very least, people who might trust her word are getting a proper education from my rebuttals.

Who are you? Right, nobody knows who you are.

And YOU are …?

So, I’m “nobody.” I’m not Editor Glynnis, a seethingly angry op-ed writer pretending she’s a news writer, but with a daily byline nonetheless. I’m not even “Karl Spensen,” trying to get play from sorority chicks by playing Chachi to Stephen Cole-bear’s Fonzie. Whatever I’m not, it doesn’t stop you from stalking me through the threads, now does it?

Ha. I love your sight. You lost me at FreeRepublic.com. Loon.

Oh, darn. If only I hadn’t mentioned I started out at Free Republic, you would have taken me more seriously. Yeah, right. (BTW, it’s “site.”)

And I’m honored that I’ve made that much of an impression on you. Of course, I’m a white male. Easy to do…

You say you’re a white male. There’s no way I can know for sure, but I will take you at your word (even though you refused to take mine that I’m a black man).

What’s fascinating about you is that you are a virulent racist, and you aren’t even aware of it because of the political correctness of your opinions. In future days, I hope to have the time to explore that.

Like I said, stay tuned.

I think Smithee is black because he was using his facebook profile for a while early on. And from what I remember he is fat.

“And from what I remember he is fat.”

Pot calls kettle black.

Glynnis, I think the answer is no.

All of your extremist right-wing rhetoric aside,

What “extremist right-wing rhetoric” are you talking about, specifically, please?

tell me that Smithee is right for giving Ms. MacNicol a “lesson” and “daily refresher courses.”

Smithee is no more right or wrong than you for giving anyone else a “lesson” or “daily refresher course” in anything, how about that? Smithee is of course more accurate in his statement, than your statement or Glynnis’ tired anti-Palin ramblings… but we already knew that (that’s why you resort to name calling consistently, and Smithee sticks with posting facts and evidence). How’s that?

You have my email address… I’m still waiting…

I already emailed you. Perhaps you should check your account.

WOW! That was even more juvenile than normal! WTG!

There should be a demand for a certain kind of book about Sarah Palin, and perhaps Matthew Berger was unable to write that kind of book?

At a time when anything of interest about Mrs Palin is on TV and on the Internet in a matter of minutes or hours, what would possibly persuade someone to go out and buy a book about her? No matter how well written, this was probably not going to be a successful enterprise.

Additionally, if Berger was initially tasked to write this book in December 2008, it should have been published a few months later. If you’re writing about Churchill or Lincoln or Hitler, you can take your time and spend a few years researching the topic; when the subject is a present-day individual, you don’t have that luxury, you write down what you know and you get it published ASAP.

LN says…”At the very least, people who might trust her word are getting a proper education from my rebuttals.”

Ln – I want to thank you for your rebutts and providing me with a proper edumacation.!! GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!

I hope to god i don’t know any of you in the *real world*.

I would hate to think that the decent people I know, and socialize with get online and act as awful as some of you.

Smithee is totallym an Asian chick living in San Fran, bitter about not being a *real* writer (one who doesn’t just take screenshots of other people’s sites, with real domain names – that don’t include blogspot.com).
