Manuscript For Sarah Palin Tell-All Book Leaked By Author Of Other Sarah Palin Tell-All Book

» 54 comments

The Alaskan political world is in a frenzy this past weekend as a manuscript for a Sarah Palin “tell-all” book has been leaked to the media. The manuscript was written by a former aide to Palin, Frank Bailey, who joined Palin in her team during her 2006 campaign for governor and stuck around until her resignation from said position. The manuscript clocks in at almost 500 pages and apparently depicts Palin as obsessive, vindictive, and prone to breaking election laws.

Unlike that other Palin book in the pipeline, Bailey wasn’t just geographically close to his subject (strangely, the Anchorage Daily News reports that author and Palin-neighbor Joe McGinniss was one of the people to pass them the leaked manuscript), he was actually a close confidant to both Palin and her husband, Todd. The book was reportedly put together with the help of 60,000 emails back and forth between he and the former governor. It actually opens with a quote from one of those emails as Palin tells Bailey she “hate[s] this damn job,” shortly before her resignation.

But, everyone’s wondering, what’s the dirtiest “all” that this tell-all “tells?”

From the Daily News:

“[I]n Bailey’s telling, the reality was nasty. Minor slights became obsessions, according to Bailey, demanding revenge and if possible, destruction of the opponent’s reputation.

‘We set our sights and went after opponents in coordinated attacks, utilizing what we called “Fox News surrogates,” friendly blogs, ghost-written op-eds, media opinion polls (that we often rigged), letters to editors, and carefully edited speeches,’ Bailey wrote.

One chapter asserts Palin broke election law by coordinating with the Republican Governors Association during her 2006 campaign for governor. State candidates can’t team up with soft-money groups such as the Republican Governors Association, which paid for TV commercials and mailers in Alaska during the election in a purported ‘independent’ effort.

At the time, the Alaska Democratic Party had accused the RGA and Palin of working together on an ad that included Palin striding from the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage.

In his book, Bailey says the allegation was true.”

There’s also quite a bit of information on the “Troopergate” scandal that involved both Palins trying to get a state trooper fired after he divorced and became involved in a custody battle with Palin’s sister. Bailey, himself, has always been closely linked to the story, calling a trooper lieutenant and listing why the trooper in question should be fired. Bailey doesn’t deny it but claims Todd told him to go after the trooper and congratulated him for the call. During the actual investigation in the case, Sarah Palin said she had nothing to do with the phone conversation and publicly chastised Bailey for making it.

The manuscript, which an agent said should not have been released, was co-written by author Ken Morris and Jeanne Devon who runs the anti-Palin website Mudflats. On Mudflats right now, Devon has posted an angry message from Morris which includes a cease and desist letter to McGinniss, going after him for passing around the text.

  • Harry Flashman

    Here we go.

    The “troopergate” thing was reported, investigated, and snooped into by every left wing ferret out there with a blog or an actual employer. Results? Nada. Zip. Nothing.

    The media sent dumpster-diving “reporters” to Alaska in drioves to discredit her from day one. How’s that workin’ so far? Think this will actually tell us anything that we haven’t already heard?

    More – the entire Palin campaign has been looked into ad nauseaum. I strongly suspect this will cover no new ground or “expose” anything other than a vindictive opportunist who Palin stepped on after he crossed lines he shouldn’t have crossed.

    The left, of course, will be howling to the moon about this but in the end it will amount to little or nothing.

    By the way – the fact that Joe McGinnis, weasel extroadinaire, would leak this unpublished manuscript. And now they’ll hollering like they got their fingers slammed in the car door.

    They’ll end up cannibalizing each other over this. And Palin will walk away smiling.

  • Harry Flashman

    By the way….I wonder how many politicians under incredible pressure have said, “I hate this damn job”?

    Some revelation there.

  • DonnaK

    Finally, someone in her inner cirlcle breaks their silence. This is not just another anti Palin book, if it has all the email info, these people have some substantial back up to their tales….Can’t wait to read from someone who knows, what everyone else has speculated about this hateful, vindictive family that would ruin anyone who got in their way…..

    Are the Palins still delaying the release of emails to the state of Alaska in an attempt to cover their asses?

  • Jackyboy

    Wow, ANOTHER Palin tell-all book? I’m shocked…

  • Harry Flashman

    One small point:

    The author of this thing is someone who is alleging wrong doing by Palin while he worked for her. Here’s my point in that…..

    If it is wrong now, it was wrong then. Why would this paragon of morality continue to not only work for Palin but, by his own admission, participate with gusto in what he is now pointing at with moral indignation?

    The answer to that really doesn’t require much thought but then, the left isn’t really known for thinking things through.

  • DonnaK

    From what I have read those emails are supposed to be released, after all this time in May 2011, but with this guy having all the originals, I wonder what they will have to go back and try to do? I also read, that this Frank Bailey always went along with her and had such blind faith for the greater good, but finally lost that faith that she was an honest person….can you imagine? I’m surprised her faithful, rabid supporters are not on here as usual defending her, could it be that others are getting disallusioned with the good governor?

  • Harry Flashman

    DonnaK said:

    “I’m surprised her faithful, rabid supporters are not on here as usual defending her…..,”

    Missed my comments above did ya, or did you just not bother to read them? Oh….that’s right. You might actually have to THINK if you do.

    Don’t hurt yourself with actual thought. ObamaCare hasn’t kicked in yet.

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    of course it won’t matter to the blind sheep that fallow palin because they have excuses (all this has been looked at before, the person must hate palin, it’s just a vendetta by the left and the lame stream media) and they choose to ignore her blatant disregard to intellectual curiosity. no matter what she says or does, whether it’s her proximity to russia giving her foreign policy exposure, or comparing her to shakespear when she screws up a word, or being unable to list what publications she reads, or, or….you clowns always have an excuse, it doesn’t matter how much stupidity leaks out of the vacuous head of hers.

  • Harry Flashman

    ChiliPeppersFan utters the folowing, which I’ll list point by point:

    “and they choose to ignore her blatant disregard to intellectual curiosity. no matter what she says or does”

    What lack of intellectual curiousity? I don’t see many other politicians quoting Chaucer of lecturing us on nanotechnology every day, either. (newsfalsh – Sheila jackson Lee isn’t exactly gonna qualify for MENSA any time in the near future and I don’t hear you mentioning her name – and she currently HOLDS office). So…waht intellectual curiosity are talking about. Explain.

    “,….whether it’s her proximity to russia giving her foreign policy exposure….”

    She saod something to the effect that you can see Russia from parts of Alaska and, guess what, you can. Get a map. It was in reference to the fact that she was Commander-In-Chief of the Alaska National guard, which runs a HUGE air defense syayten there.She never saod she can see Russia from her house. Tina Fey did.

    “…. or comparing her to shakespear when she screws up a word….,”

    Omama gets a pass whenn he tells us about 57 states or when he stammers like a stoned pothead without a teleprompter but you take a slip of the tongue from Palin and scream “AHAH – she’s stupid!”

    She;d rip you and most of the idiots on the left who mock her to pieces in a fair debate. All you have is that old shit you just listed.

    Get a new act. This one is stale.

  • Harry Flashman

    Sorry for the type-o’s above. I get in a hurry when I respond to imbeciles.

  • DonnaK

    That’s okay Harry, we understand how you Palin guys get all shook up when her name is mentioned….When you don’t have anything to defend with, just call names, that is what your hero Palin does!! It’ no wonder you people defend her to the death, you all think alike, not one individual thinker in the bunch…..

    Well, now that depends. Do we get to write on our hands? I have some pretty long fingers……

  • Sprocket

    Drat! The timing of this looks suspicious. Looks like the RNC is getting its revenge. I hope Sarah’s image will not be tarnished by this book. Democrats need Sarah to run in 2012!. What next? A report that the Palin’s septic tank is leaking into Lake Lucille and polluting the lake?

  • Harry Flashman

    Look at the two above comments by DonnaK and im_lovin_it.

    Neither of them debate the points I bring up in my posts. They just use snark. That’s typical. I’ll debate with either of them point by point. But they won’t.

    And we all know why.

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    it’s too bad palin isn’t half as smart as some of the people that worship her. she’s like a rorschach test for the sheep that follow her, she is only as great these clowns project her out to be. it’s like how great they make out that lying coward reagan…it’s just something built up in their own mind.

  • murphy0071

    Why people don’t recognize a political prostitute as what she is? Palin is human garbage and should be tossed from a barge between Alaska and Russia. Then people could say, “See, she really can see Russia.”

  • Mr.Papshmer

    Wow, red meat for the palin haters.

    Look here intrepid reporter Harry Flashman! I’m CALLING YOU OUT!

    Try THIS on for size! Sarah Palin and “Refudiategate”
    1) Palin says, “please refudiate” in infamous text! THEN she tries to say it was a typo! Was it? Then why would she say it on Hannity’s show??!? She then likens herself to Shakespeare! BOOM!

    2) Why could she not name one single newspaper? In all of America? Or the world? POW!

    3) Why does Sarah Palin hate America? WHY DOES SHE DESECRATE THE STARS AND BARS WITH HER AUTOGRAPH!!?!?!?! OHMYGOD!!!!

    4) Worst of all……..QUITTER!!!!!!

    What you call snark I call FACTS! Harry Flashman, you’ve been called out!…..

    People are snarky and make fun of Palin because there is just no hope with her. She’s not the devil that some people think, but the fact she has any impact on politics in this country is alarming. When I ask people what they like about her they say, “she has traditional values” and “loves America.” Good job, Sarah. Here’s a big fat check.

  • timcajun

    Sarah, we love you and always will! Our proof is in the fact, that no matter how much you lie, con us, or misinform us, we will blindly be here for you! Why, I don’t know, but were’re here! Saraf says: WTF

  • Harry Flashman

    im_lovin_it has called me out. I guess I’ll just have to see what i can do with that…

    1. “refudiate” is an unitentional combination of the words “refute” and “repudiate” and she’s not the only one who ever used it. Its sort of like the non-word “irregardless”. Not exacly a capital offense (except to the left).

    2. Do you really think she doesn’t read or cannot name one single newspaper? That’s a carefully cultivated image of her that you and others have grabbed onto like drowning people grab onto life preservers. She siad in Politico:

    “I’m reading the best book right now — Dean Karnazes’s book about being an ultra-marathoner. I read a lot of C.S. Lewis when I want some divine inspiration. … I read Newsmax and The Wall Street Journal. I read all of our local papers, of course, in Alaska because that’s where my heart is.”

    Here’s the link:

    http://www.politico.com/click/stories/1012/palin_gets_specific_on_her_reads.html

    3. How in the name of sanity do you get that she hates America. you reduce your own argument to a childish level with that one.

    4. Quitter. She quit becau8se she was being slammed by dozens of frivolous ethics complaints by your cohorts on the left, NOT ONE SINGLE ONE of which was found valid. It made it impossible for her to do her job. So she did the right thing and gave up an incredibly high profile job.

    Now, as far as her getting that “big fat check.” Wouldn’t you if you had the opportunity? Sure you would. So, why is she bad for doing so?

    Try again.

    And we all know why.

    It’s because your willful cognitive dissoance is too much for most rational people to stomach. I’m a teacher, so I have a lot of patience with special needs students like yourself. So here’s a simple rebuttal to your arguments.

    1) With regard to your point about other politicians not belonging to MENSA, you are absolutely correct. However, there is a little thing called minimum standards. We expect our students to at least pass a test, even if it shows no ability to do critical thinking. In the same way, we expect Sarah Palin and any other politician to be able to mention one magazine or newspaper she reads, or cite a single Supreme Court ruling she finds offensive and unAmerican. (Here’s a hint, Sarah: Roe V. Wade, it’s the only thing that prevents the Republicans from losing most of their religious base who are simple working people who are getting shafted by the corporate powers that really run the show.)

    We know most politicians just repeat talking points and have few original ideas. We even lower our expectations when their mediocre academic achievements and a history of failure in business show minimal intelligence. As long as they seem pleasant enough, we give them a pass. Just look at Dubya. The Republicans only turned on him at the end of his second term, when the weight of his horrendous economic policies and disastrous wars made him the most unpopular president in history.

    That Sarah Palin can’t even pass this minimal litmus test of competence with the RNC and the corporate powers that run them shows someone of impossibly low standards.

    2) Regarding the Palin comment about being able to see Russia, your understadning of her exact original quote may be correct, but again you have completely missed the point. The original issue was concern over Palin’s lack of knowledge and expertise in foreign affairs. She had none. She couldn’t answer the simplest questions about foreign leaders.

    In Katie Couric’s interview with Palin, she showed a complete lack of foreign policy knowledge and tried to cover it up with a number of misstatements (linked below) – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nokTjEdaUGg

    “Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who touts her state’s proximity to Russia as part of her foreign policy experience, has not met with Russian leaders or delegations, negotiated any Russian issues or visited the country, according to an Associated Press review of records from the governor’s office.” – http://tiny.cc/nf4wq

    “NORAD: Sarah Palin has no role in guarding U.S. airspace despite claims in Katie Couric interview” – http://tiny.cc/qhi9u

    3) With regard to Obama, he makes mistakes, for which he is crucified by the press all the time. He can’t even where flip flops on vacation without Fox News making a story out of it. But when you’re dealing with a law professor who was the president of the Harvard Law Review, we expect a lot more. He makes the mistake of actually trying to answer questions in a thoughtful way, instead of doing the usual thing all the Republicans do which is to change subjects so they can repeat talking points. If you saw his interview with Bill O’Reilly, perhaps you could see the sparring going back and forth. As Obama found ways to avoid confrontation, regardless of how rude O’Reilly was (constant interruptions of the POTUS, something he never did with W).

    If you watched CSPAN and just listened to what politicians say, instead of depending on FOX, and Right Wing Talk Radio to give you your opinion, you might be able to make up your own mind. Learning the facts and then using logic to argue a point of view has been done since the days of the ancient Greeks. Try it some time. It will be good for your brain.

    You may now go to recess.

    P.S.: I’ve read the Flashman books. His character would have a better chance of beating Obama in 2012 than any of the Republican losers who were parading around CPAC earlier this month.

    If you sincerely believe #1 and #4, and I think you do, you are seriously delusional among other things.

  • im_lovin_it

    1) If unintentional typo why did she say it out loud? Why compare herself to Shakespeare? If other people say stupid stuff does that make it okay? Only a capital offense to Daniel Webster. Who else has said refudiate?

    2) In the Couric interview she failed to say any newspapers. I’m sure she can read. Why didn’t she just say whatever the local papers are in Alaska and throw in a couple of mainstream papers of different stripes: WSJ, NYT, WashPost, Chicago Trib? Did it take her two years to generate this list you provide?

    3) That was for fun. She autographed a flag, which is desecrating it. Did she not know that?

    http://gawker.com/#!5669077/watch-sarah-palin-desecrate-a-flag

    4) Seriously? She couldn’t even finish her term because of leftist boogeymen? Or because she could make way more $$$$$ and do much less work in her current job as a talking head/fundraiser? Oh….and a reality TV star.

    Trust me, I have no real ill will towards this woman. I think she’s harmless and probably a perfectly nice person. My concern is that so many people act as though they will resort to fisticuffs over her. For what? What does she say that makes people like her? Why do you like her?

    I’m glad she is reading now. It means there is even hope for people with limited education and intelligence. So, someone with your considerable intelligence should be open to learning the facts, as opposed to reguritating whatever conservative blogs you happen to follow.

    The only thing that is funnier than the left’s attacks on Falin, are the right’s defense of her. Republicans embrace their cheerleader with the “Know-Nothing” amiability, and snippy one liners without realizing what America really wants right now is substance, not style.

    Oh, and Obama wasn’t a “law professor”. He was a lecturer. And, yeah, he was editor of the Law Review but, curiously, his published opinions haven’t seemed to find their way into the public venue. What happened to them?

    And while we’re on the subject, what happened to his law license?

    The way she drags her little rag tag of repugnant racists out & about makes her look quite gruesome, noxious, macabre, if not downright obscene. Nauseating actually. She is a nasty little hatemonger with an unhealthy, ghastly, grim and lurid view of the United States of America. Sarah is a liar of a pornographic dimension because her depiction of acts of our government in a sensational manner is just to arouse a quick, intense emotional reaction. She, in essence, is a porn star that will do anything to get money by whoring herself out to the ignorant public. And, when I say ignorant I mean all the Palin Panty Sniffers & Palin Skull F$#kers that believe (even if it is in their dreams) they are going to get a shot of hittin’ that! LOL. Especially since she only does her hate and racist shows malapropos and without media coverage. She, in effect, does a private lap dance for the most indecorous, graceless, perverse, inept, unseemly people. Takes my breath away as to just how big a prostitute she has become. She’s no longer a welcome sight for Alaskans. Sarah sold out to the highest bidder no matter the cost to the rest of Alaska. This book is going to blow up on her and the emails we are about to release is going to tear her down. That is why she is doing so many speaking engagements NOW! I am absolutely tickled that she had to hire a speaking coach just so she can demand more money from ill-bred corn pones she is so popular with. Soon, very soon, she won’t be worth a shit to anybody. In fact, Sarah and her family are nothing but a toilet full of turds. We are about to flush them down the sewer with the rest of the republican shit stains.

    Boy! It sounds like she has all the qualifications for a successful presidential candidate!

    Ya think? so…according to your analysis the abortion issue is the only reason a conservative faction exists? Taxes, government intrusion into our lives, over regulation of damn near everything, none of that comes into play? Really? Just abortion? Way to think things through, teach.

    And, how do you know what I watch or listen to? Here’s a news flash for you, too…despite what your college professors told you from the liberal bubbke a brain and conservative ideals aren’t mutually exclusive, and a brain certainly isn’t exclusive to the left. I would assume that someone as educated as yourself would already know that.

    I suggest you spend more time with your special needs students and watch picking debates with adults.

    1) You are correct in saying that there will continue to be a block of conservative voters who oppose big government and taxes. It’s called corporate America and the extremely wealthy. There will also be a group of extreme conservatives who are motivated by social issues. And there will be those fringe groups of racists, militia and conspiracy theory lunatics who will embarrass the Republican party, but who are needed to keep up the violent and hateful rhetoric in this country, so people won’t actually argue about the issues using facts.

    However, it’s sad that you have so little understanding of American history. The deeply religious people in this country are divided into two groups: those who take Jesus to heart when he said “what you do for the least of us, you do for me” and those who use the bible to justify whatever selfish agenda they have for themselves.

    The first group made up the Abolitionists. They also played a big part in the Freedom Riders during the Civil Rights movement. And they were also the salt of the earth workers who help build the labor union movement. The only reason those people are no longer Democrats is because they have been twisted by the Right Wing who play on their fervent opposition to abortion. Even when Dubya was president and all three branches of government was controlled by the Republicans, they didn’t do squat to end abortion. All they’ve done is posture, in order to keep the progressive and populist Christians within the Republican fold.

    If Roe v. Wade didn’t exist, half the Evangelical vote returns to their normal, altruistic behaviors, and the Republicans lose 15% of the voting base, meaning the tilt returns heavily to the Democratic side.

    And things are only going to get worse. There are currently fewer Republicans than Democrats. Based on the reproductive habits of different groups, it seems like the next generation of voters will be even more heavily tilted towards the Democrats. So, yes, without abortion, the Republicans would be in huge trouble.

    2) You prove consistently by your lack of reason and small subset of facts that you don’t get more than one perspective. Just take any of the points you have tried to make and go to Factcheck.org. I found three examples of Sarah Palin’s complete lack of education or understanding of foreign policy, and yet you argue that she’s okay because she was misquoted about that stupid “seeing Russia from her backyard.” The facts are, she is ignorant and only semi coherent in her interviews with Katie Couric. She covered her ass by making more false statements which were repudiated by fact checking organizations and NORAD. Do you not understand the difference between your trivial semantics and real facts?

    3) I actually teach adults. I thought I could help a special needs student like yourself, but I was wrong. You win the argument that it is impossible to reason with you based on facts and logic.

    LOL Tex, tell us how you really feel.

    I think you did touch on the Palin Mystique. There are a whole lot of Republican men who have a secret dream of hitting it. That means there are a whole lot of Republican women who don’t satisfy their men. What a shocker. Somehow I think Batshit Bachman, Falin Palin et al are all show and no go when it comes to the sexual side of life. I read an article on Palin where Todd was quoted telling one of his buddies that “he didn’t know how Sarah got pregnant with those kids”.

    She has taken over Farrah’s place as manual stimulation fantasy for Republican males. At least she is good at something.

    Nothing shocking here:

    Palin depicted as a petty, mean-girl who did some questionably “legal” things while (partial-term) Governor of Alaska — check
    (http://www.adn.com/2011/02/18/1711185/ex-aide-rips-palin-in-leaked-manuscript.html#)

    Palinphiles decrying the injustice to Sacred Sarah with pathetic “evidence” to support her awesomeness — check

    Some of us sitting here, pitying those who fawn all over Palin all the while recognizing the signs of that adoration for what it really is — a dysfunctional “relationship”.

    But, like any dysfunctional relationship, there are simply those that cannot see the truth about Palin no matter what their friends (the Facts, people, the Facts) tell them.

    (Cue in Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab”)

    …and the teabaggers think this kunt is presidential material.

  • Garth

    The half-term nit wit has nothing to worry about. What is this going to do to her; make her look even more stupid? Please.

  • Yoda002

    This isn’t going to sit well within the Palin camp. And here they thought she was presidential material.

    Wow, red meat for the palin haters.

    How tolerant of you. I bet you were one of those people calling for her to tone down the rhetoric, no?

    When the left gets pissed the right gets nervous, whats the problem? Palins slowly cutting her own throat, no presidential run for her . So that leaves who? Nobody!

    Guess what? I don’t care if the allegations are true or false. I’m STILL going to support her and send money to SarahPac. I’m tired of the Progressives and their ilk and if Sarah can cause them some damage- I’m onboard all the way!!! Vindictive? Cool! So am I. We’re gonna STOP Obama and his radical Anti-American buds and make this country great again. You run Sarah and I’ll be behind you, along side you doing whatever I can to support you!!!
