NEW YORK (AP) - "Going Rogue" is going big.
Publisher HarperCollins said Friday that Sarah Palin's memoir sold
300,000 copies its first day, among the best openings ever for a
nonfiction book. . The year before, Hillary Rodham Clinton's "Living
History" started at 200,000.
"Going Rogue" was released this week and its print run already has
been increased from 1.5 million copies to 2.5 million, HarperCollins
announced Friday......"

Wait until the Paliban has to pay back HarperCollins for all these advanced
printings, hahahaha.
I'll bet you chickenshit cheerleaders will be nowhere to be found.

Who cares? WHy don't you move there and find out. It would probably
be a good idea to not be white when you do though.

Just for the sake of argument, I will consider that you meant the
*continent* of Africa.
Please explain the relevance of how many books she did or did not sell on
the continent of Africa.............

Reminds me of Harry Potter.
Legions of immature minds lined up for days before the book went on sale.

Serious question? Did you not know of Sarah's penchant
for geography?

seriously answering, i don't really know much about her except that she
seems to scare democrats silly -- she must for them to lie, slander, smear
and otherwise try to tear her down as much as they do. I did see the
acceptance speech she gave at the republican convention after McCain named
her as his running mate.
This from Jonah Goldberg sums up what i mean pretty well:
"...one supposed Palinophobe took dead aim at the former Alaska governor's
writing chops, excerpting the following sentence from her book:
"The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a
buzzer downstairs that didn't work, so that visitors had to call ahead
from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the
size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws
clamped around an empty beer bottle."
Other readers pounced like wolf-sized Dobermans on an intruder. One
guffawed, "That sentence by Sarah Palin could be entered into the annual
Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest. It could have a chance at winning a
(sic) honorable mention, at any rate."
But soon, the original contributor confessed: "I probably should have
mentioned that the sentence quoted above was not written by Sarah Palin.
It's taken from the first paragraph of 'Dreams From My Father,' written by
Barack Obama."
The ruse should have been allowed to fester longer, but the point was made
nonetheless: Some people hate Palin first and ask questions later. ... "
Now, what is her penchant for geography? I know that there was a joke on
the tv show Saturday Night Live about her saying she could see Russia from
her porch that soon became directly attributed as a quote from her instead
of being made up and delivered by a comedienne......... Other than that,
almost all US politicians seem to be bad at geography -- such as Barack
Obama saying that he had already campaigned in 57 states. (There are 50
states.)

If Palin had said what Obama did it would still be being talked about with
loud guffaws....

There's plenty of of links that say the whole thing was a hoax but it's
strange that Fox spread the story
