Blind Allegiance Sarah Palin Book
Blind Allegiance by Frank Bailey, is a new book about Sarah Palin and her work in Alaska and 2008 presidential campaign.
Frank Bailey, a former aide, apparently used thousands of undisclosed private emails with Alaska Governor Palin to help write his book. He is now the subject of an investigation by the Alaska Attorney General’s Office for this potential violation of state ethics laws.
As usual, any book by a former aide needs to leak some time of negative and claimed scandalous material to try and made sales. This is standard operating procedure in the political celebrity tell-all circuit.
Even though Bailey worked for Palin for many years, and collected a paycheck, now that he needs another paycheck he claims that actions he took working for Sarah were mistakes and not really his fault – but were caused by the prodding of Sarah or other family members.
That’s pretty much all one needs to one about this book. As far as scandalous material – there really isn’t any.
Bailey claims scheduling Palin’s events was a nightmare, her calendar often changed, and sometimes she missed events promoters thought she would be at.
Yawn.
Bailey also claims Sarah’s heart wasn’t in Alaska after the presidential campaign, and coming back to face dozens of frivolous Democratic ethics charges, and having the opportunity to make more money elsewhere, is what led to her leaving the governorship.
That really isn’t scandal.
More like human nature and taking advantage of an opportunity to forever financially benefit her family.
One of the co-authors is Jeanne Devon, a long-time critic of Sarah Palin. According to a self-penned article a few years ago in the Huffington Post, Devon referred to herself as “AKmuckraker” – and the very first thing she criticized about Sarah’s Going Rogue book was that it did not have an index.
Sigh.
Another co-author, Ken Morris, once offered Sarah $100,000 to have dinner with him and other members of his left-wing group. Apparently looking to be seen with Palin to legitimize himself.
More sighs.
Looks more like an attempted hit piece by long-time critics than a critically reviewed piece of authorship.
Anyway, there are of course interesting behind the scenes tidbits of governance and political ambition not always apparent to the public.
