Sarah Palin is upon us once more

In 2006 an angel-faced but tough 42-year-old former small-town mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska governor demanding a higher ethical standard in state government. The timing of her reform message and a widening scandal produced a tornado that reshaped the political landscape. Surprising everyone, Palin thumped by wide margins both a sitting governor in the Republican primary election and a former governor in the general election ...more

As if her shrill, annoying voice is not enough, now you can read a book about this moose eating hockey mom.

Kaylene Johnson’s book is called Sarah: How a Hockey Mom Turned Alaska's Political Establishment Upside Down.

Here’s what the product description states:

“In 2006 an angel-faced but tough 42-year-old former small-town mayor named Sarah Palin became a long-shot candidate for Alaska governor demanding a higher ethical standard in state government.

The timing of her reform message and a widening scandal produced a tornado that reshaped the political landscape. Surprising everyone, Palin thumped by wide margins both a sitting governor in the Republican primary election and a former governor in the general election to become Alaska's first female chief executive and its youngest ever.”

Not sold yet? Me neither. Here’s what the publisher says:

“Sarah Palin, the vice presidential pick for John McCain in 2008, is a former Wasilla High School basketball star, ex-beauty queen, and one-time journalist who wears a killer smile, designer glasses, and high heels.

She rides in a 2000-very-cold-mile snow machine race every year called the Iron Dog. She has filled more than a few freezers with moose that she shot herself, and she prefers caribou steaks to beef tenderloins. Her husband is part Alaska Native, a roughneck on the North Slope, and the family fishes commercially each year on Bristol Bay.

Last but not least--as her adversaries learned painfully--she has the political instincts of a seasoned pro and and [sic] independent streak a mile long.”

Yawn. Go home, Sarah.
