She’s baaaaaack. Or, rather, she will be. Politico is reporting that, because we don’t yet know enough about the life and times of Sarah Palin, a book on that subject—and, specifically, on the Alaska governor’s unsuccessful bid for the vice presidency—is forthcoming. Its working title is Sarah From Alaska, and it will be penned by former Palin embeds Scott Conroy (CBS) and Shushannah Walshe (Fox News). More from Conroy on the tome-to-be:
While we’re obviously going to use our experiences on the trail to report a lot of new information on how the Palin campaign was run, the book is also going to be forward-looking. There’s a long list of unsuccessful VP nominees who’ve faded into obscurity, but what we think is so interesting about Palin is that even in defeat, she was able to win the hearts of the GOP base, and love her or hate her, she’ll be back on the national scene.
Oh joy. We haven't yet had our fill of her vacuity.

SO the Review is exhibiting it's bias as well. So much for teaching young journalists the basic tenets of the Fourth Estate. As a 20 year daily print journalist in Maryland and Arizona, a commentator on Maryland Public TV and a Press Secretary in the US House for a woman Democrat, I am glad a retired before the 2008 sham of political coverage.Sen. Hilary Clinton and Gov.Sarah Palin were savaged in a way I have never seen before in "journalism". Yet Caroline Kennedy, God bless her, is anointed despite far less qualification to govern. I hope colleagues at the National Press Club can better understand the implications of this past year's coverage and do something about it. The Fourth Estate is not a club, fraternity or sorority. It is a JOB, a HARD JOB, and those who have died on the front lines in the past to bring the TRUTH out of difficult places are DISGRACED by this year's effete, biased and scurrilous coverage of the election. I have to read Canadian and foreign press to get a balanced view of political news in my own nation. Shame on the largest part of the American media. And WHAT IS this sophomoronic trend to run comedy news in prime time? For God's sake, young fools THINK this is the REAL news. Grow up America !

Well spoken, Peggy!
Just what the world needs, another smug, catty snipe at Governor Palin. This is supposed to pass for intelligent discourse?
