It should be a light read. It's only 5 chapters long.
I expect a lot of whinging about how the McCain staff treated her.

Hey, you write a book, you become president. It worked for Obama.

So we're going to have a Ghost President?

You mean like Bush and Cheney?

Oh I wouldn't characterize them as that at all.

True. Bush is more like a zombie than a ghost, and Cheney is more like Ming the Merciless.

More like an infestation of malignant spirits whose notions of going bump in the night involved weapons of mass destruction(?)

Sarah Palin never said that she could see Russia from her back yard or her house. Her actual quote was "They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska." Tina Fey playing Palin on SNL said "I can see Alaska from my house." CNN only fact checks SNL when they make fun of President Obama so I can understand your confusion.

Warning - The video if from FOX News running a clip from the the Daily Show with John Stewart.

Fey was simply distilling Palin's rambling incoherent inanity into it's essence.

I think it was all meant in fun and jest - I think we are all quite aware that Ms. Palin can't really see Russian lands from her backyard

Saturday Night Live -- is a comedy show that is always poking fun at politicians (among other things) and the exaggerate and make things up. So he's being completely incredulous that CNN a reputable news station would fact check a comedy skit.

Methinks if Palin were the lightweight you claim she is, this thread wouldn't have so many posts.

I think you guys are whistling past the graveyard.

While politically a light-weight, she still had enough personality to have fun.
