While George W. Bush is still without an offer for his presidential memoirs,
literary insiders say the bidding for Sarah Palin's story could reach $7 million. Proving, once and for all, that the public is more interested in designer eyeglasses and short skirts than the highly controversial guy who has spent the last eight years actually running the country.At Asylum, we're as guilty as the rest of the media in obsessing over the Alaska governor
and all of her comings and goings. But is it wise it to spend so much on a subject whose life is already such an open book?According to an unnamed literary insider, "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."Whatever the publishers decide to pay for this tome, we do have a number of unanswered questions we hope Sarah Palin's ghostwriter poses to the Arctic sensation:- Isn't it true you only went along with that
embarrassing Nicolas Sarkozy prank because the last time you thought you were being targeted by an impersonator it turned out it really was John McCain and he really was offering you the VP slot?- During the VP debate, how distracted were you by the glare off Joe Biden's freshly Botoxed forehead?- Can you prove you talked the way you do now before the movie "Fargo" came out?- Is it more embarrassing to lose an election to someone you insinuated was a terrorist, or to have helped make Katie Couric look like a serious journalist?- You have attributed your surprise election as Alaska governor
to the blessings of an African witch hunter. Where was Pastor Thomas Muthee during the campaign, and does his absence prove you are saving his mystical electoral powers for 2012? - As a rugged individualist who named her children Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper and Trig, how much does it irk you that our President-elect -- who the kids like to claim is "cool" -- gave in to yuppiedom and named his daughters Malia and Sasha?- Explain to us exactly why you are as much, if not more, of a babe than Tina Fey. (And just relaying how Alec Baldwin whispered this to you backstage at "SNL" doesn't count as an explanation.)
