Ponder that and say a prayer for Ms. Palin's editor.
On a scale of one to Hitchcock, that thought rates somewhere just north of the facehuggers in Alien.
Apparently the book is due out in the Spring, which means it has to be finished by the end of the year at the latest.
We'll see.
Here's an unhappy thought - the book advance is around $11m, and it's being paid out by Murdoch.
If Palin happened to be running in 2012, that would make it one of her biggest (legal) campaign contributions.
Rupert will be wanting a return on that. If she's federal toast, he won't be happy. But if the rumours are just rumours, I don't think she's as down and out as we'd all like to hope.
And, really, $11m is going to be a drop in the bucket by the time we get to 2012. A million of that is gone just on her legal defense spending. Four years ago it was considered awesome that Kerry and Bush has raised and spent more than $200m each. Then Obama, alone, did more than the two of them combined (McCain did about $100m more than either one and started running out of money).
It's a lot of money to take on Mittens and the Huckster initially. Don't imagine Mrs Mittens is going to allow her goofy husband to piss away part of the kids' trust funds again, especially not when Obama will be raising perhaps $100m per month once he gets moving sometime in 2011 (or even earlier). Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers. - George Carlin
Don't forget she has TV experience, so Darth Evil may be grooming her for a Fox slot as a stepping stone to better things.
Incidentally, Sportsgate has been simmering since before the election.
It would good to hope for an indictment, but this looks like standard-issue repub small-think corruption to me. Getting taken out for it would be unexpected and somewhat surprising.
