a writer shade of palin

via alternate brain, it seems that maggie o'connell has a book deal in the offing...

after she spent the last few weeks talking to just about any camera put in front of her, it should come as no surprise that former vice-presidential candidate sarah palin is moving closer to inking a book deal.

just how much could the alaska governor make from putting pen to paper? about $7 million, according to some estimates.

sound like a lot? not necessarily, says one literary insider.

"bill clinton made more than $10 million when he signed his deal in 2001 and that was the most for a former president," says the source. "sarah brings something different to the table — there is so much curiosity surrounding her and her life. if they move fast and get this thing on shelves, then a $7 million advance could be worth it."
yeah, but, bill clinton could actually put words together...

You misunderestimate our Sarah. She's perfectly capable of "putting words together." They just don't make any sense, but that doesn't seem to bother her supporters, who are, sadly, all too numerous.

Not to mention there's no way to place a value on a recipe for moose chili! $7 million might be cheap.

I thought things were looking up when I heard that aWol couldn't get a book deal and now you tell me that Bible Spice will get 7 Mil for a bunch of disjointed talking points, you betcha. Wink,
