Palin PAC Spent Most Money Buying Her Book

Sarah Palin's PAC spent more money buying copies of her best-selling book Going Rogue than it gave in contributions to political candidates, according to new FEC reports. SarahPAC spent $47,777 on copies of the book during the last six months of the year and around $43,000 in donations to candidates seeking federal office.

If you buy enough books to get yourself on the bestseller list, that generates more publicity and the idea of existing support than an ad campaign at twice the price. Manufacturing agreement. lol.

If she ever moves back to Mooslaska, she'll have enough kindling for everyone for the rest of their lives.

Since Sister Sarah now works for Faux News, which is owned by News Corp, and since Harper Collins is also owned by News Corp, I hope she's getting her employee discount. After all, a 'best seller' shouldn't have to cost you anymore than it absolutely needs to, eh?

I really wish they would have used a different paper in that book. No matter how much you crinkle it up, it still scratches your ass when you wipe.

Skanc.

omg--you guys really are obsessed. lol

She sold over a million books in two weeks. 300k on the first day.

All PAC's buy their own books--if they wrote one-- to give away.

Some people have ADD...

We know how many were bought be her PAC, how many were bought by the RNC?

I saw an ad online a week before her book was released offering it for free with a one year subscription to some righ wing rag. FREE.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Newsmax ad?

It's still going on.

Great Offer #1!

Get Sarah's book FREE with our Newsmax magazine offer Go Here Now.

Great Offer #2!

Get Sarah's book for just $4.97 save more than $24 off the cover price Go Here Now.

Newsmax, much like World Nut Daily, was put on this earth to make the National Enquirer look like the NYT.

There's a funneh article at HuffPo about the free Scary book offer phenom.

But there it was in red letters, a banner ad across the top of Newsmax.com:

LATEST: GET SARAH PALIN'S NEW BOOK, JUST PAY SHIPPING! CLICK HERE

Now, I'm just your average hockey mom, but I've taught my children you never click on internet ads. "Rink," I like to say to my eldest, "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is." She'll shoot back something like, "You mean like the Resurrection?" But that's not important. I've done my job as a parent. And even if she gets a cache full of cookies, or ends up in h-ll, I've still got the twins, Bick and Luz.

LOL @ Rink, Bick and Luz.

Be Well.

YES! Thank you. I though it was World Nut Daily, but could not find it there. Nutmax. Perfect.

Rink, ... She'll shoot back something like

Rink is a girl's name? Oh dear heaven.

that's not important. I've done my job as a parent.

Just not a very good one.

This is the same scam that brought down Jim Wright (I think he was the book scandal congressman). This is nothing more than kickback money.

LOL. Just when you think she can't be anymore of a loser.....

Well I suppose nobody wanted to read just 1/2 of a book..........

Hell, I thought Redneckville bought all of them just so us Conservatives would end up with an empty sack at the bookstore.

#20 | Posted by wisgod at 2010-02-02 12:39 PM | Reply | Flag:

at least as good a scam as Ron Paul's "donate to my for profit book publishing company".

And wis-it wouldn't take no available copies of True Quit to make conservatives have empty sacks.

We already suspected as much and said so... this is typical Rethug modus operandi.

Suprise Suprise!

The clownette bought her own book.

Goin' nowhere fast

Palin is like a Oposssum in a persimmon tree. Only the fruit is green... smiles are fake...

As of Dec. of 09 it had sold 2.8 MILLION copies.

As far as I am concerned it is a good use of money. It is a good book, gives you insites behind the doors of the campaign and the ruthlessness of the press as they attacked her kids...but left the Obama kids off limits...and the stupidity of some in her campaign that thought CBS would treat her fairly.

It was a good look into her management style and her priorities - and her successes in office that dwarf anything that the Oman had ever - or will ever - do.

I suggest you pick up a copy.

Very Interesting until you put it into context. In the last 6 months there have been 2 States who have elected 2 federal positions. So this means that her PAC made Maximum Donations allowable by law on Both candidates and choose to buy around 2000 coppies of her book in order to help promote her image.
