Bristol Palin Book Deal To Publish, 'Not Afraid Of Life'
This is not a joke. The wisdom of a 20 year teen mom and high school dropout that
will not be written by her and the odds are really good she will not even read "her biography"
either. Do not tell me that million of $s are not being spent to prop up Palin Inc.. Book tours,
t.v. shows, dancing with the stars, Fox news, and so on all with the the purpose being to prop
up and keep the Palin brand name in front of the public. :puke:


Bristol Palin Book Deal Materializes To Publish 'Not Afraid Of Life'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/01/bristol-palin-book-deal-m_n_829664.html


NEW YORK — It's official: Bristol Palin has a book deal.

The daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin has signed with William Morrow to publish "Not Afraid of Life," to come out this summer. Morrow, an
imprint of HarperCollins, announced Tuesday that the memoir would provide "an inside look at her life."

"Bristol gives readers an intimate behind-the-scenes look at her life for the first time, from growing up in Alaska to coming of age amid the media and
political frenzy surrounding her mother's political rise; from becoming a single mother while still a teenager to coping as her relationship with her baby's
father crumbled publicly – not once, but twice," according to Morrow.

A listing for the book briefly appeared last month on Amazon.com and on an online HarperCollins spreadsheet. HarperCollins has published two best-sellers
by Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate in 2008: "Going Rogue" and "America by Heart."

4. Not afraid of creating life out of wedlock either, apparently.

5. He said/She said.
Levi Johnston, former fiance of Bristol Palin and baby-daddy of Tripp, is coming out with his own version of Bristol and the Palins.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/25/levi-johnston-book-palin-family_n_853579.htm

Looks like Bristol's rushing to get her book published before his (the latter due in the fall).

9. I like that she is claiming she lost 5lbs. More like 20lbs
Edited on Wed May-11-11 08:56 AM by emulatorloo
If I lost 20lbs I would be crowing to the world about it.

Seems like that family has to lie about everything.

ON EDIT: Link

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1081250

AP: "The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C."

12. Her body is about the same. She's just claiming that to aid in her explanation for the face change.

7. You'd have to be a real "True Believer" to buy this
I know the usual suspect wingnut orgs will do a huge block buy to get it into the bestseller list.

But seriously, who would want to read this? I see Palin is polling among Republicans looking at 2012 at around 8%

8. How about "Not Afraid to Ignore Bristol Palin"
That would be a book I'd be interested in. Why are we paying a moment of attention to this wannabe celebrity on DU?

If someone can answer that question, I'd be very appreciative.

11. Because she's an extension of mommie dearest?
Because Palin tweets and Fox trots lies and the media never calls her on it and it's exasperatiing?

Because Bristo is a flim flam artist like her mom and makes money for "abstinence" while she cares nothing about it?

Because the Palins' are making money off of their public hate and division and lies about our President while they claim to be Christian?

Because Bristol, like her mom, gets a pass for her "fame" on dancing with the stars, when she has two left feet.

Because she's a smart ass like her mom and likes to give people the finger while getting getting her free pass.

Finally, because the Palins have thin skin and read these comments about them.

13. Licensing fees are where it's at baby! In a world of zero content, having someone else
make up shit about you is a free payday.

I also find it funny that she is part of the new breed of celebrity that is not famous for anything. In fact, she's famous for less than anything. It's hard to even imagine that the over saturated media loser sookie has more on the ball.

Sadly, that is what the qualification is these days for being famous for nothing.

Hell, even kato kaline, remember him, worked as a really bad actor in B movies.

14. Wake me up when she starts having a life. Her own life. Not
one dependent on her mother's fame.

16. This whore (yes that is what she is) is not a good example for our daughters and absence. She
shows its ok to get pg and make millions with the help of her pimp daddy and pimp momma. She talks about Levi wanting th spot light. Hello pot meet kettle.

17. As much as I dislike the Palins, it is a little over the top to call her a whore.
Hypocrite is ok though.

18. Another book "written" by someone who has never read one
just like Chimpy's "autobiography."

This entire family of grifting morons is a blight on the planet.
