Why all the books on Sarah Palin?

I’m sitting here scratching my head over the morning news at all the people putting out books about the Palins.  Why them?  I don’t see books coming out about the other potential candidates.  What makes the Palins so special that people keep wanting to write books about them?  or is the real question - Why is Sarah Palin such a threat that people feel the need to write stuff, as in “making stuff up” like Levi Johnston did, to discredit her?  

Maybe we should also ask - is someone paying these guys to do it?

Trig's Dad is Writing a Book about the Palins

Image via WikipediaLevi Johnston has decided to put out his own book about the Palins.  Hopefully, it won’t be filled with lies like the last time he decided to say something about the Palins.  From the sounds of it, or at least how it’s being touted, it won’t be.  

"This is a sweet and funny book with a touch of irony; a fascinating tale of a misunderstood boy figuring out how to be a man and a father after being thrust into the spotlight and subsequent media circus at a very young and vulnerable age," Stacy Creamer, Touchstone vice president and publisher, said in a statement. "Levi has seen the Palin family up close and personal and is ready to tell his story."

Can you find the words that got me laughing?  Yip:

1.  misunderstood boy
2.  thrust into the spotlight
3.  very young and vulnerable age

Creamer makes him sound like a 3 year old.  Let’s face it, Levi, you weren’t misunderstood.  You weren’t innocent.  This isn’t the early 1900’s, it’s 2011, and every kid knows that if you get a candidates daughter pregnant you’re going to end up in the spotlight.  Young yes, vulnerable - no.  

First time around, Levi was a spiteful little brat who lied and did a good bit of damage to Palin when she was running for the vice-presidency.  

Hopefully,  his book really will be “sweet and funny,” but readers should keep his past in mind and take any off-the-wall negativism towards the Palins with a grain of salt.  Consider the source.
