At least that's what the mainstream media wants you to think. The free market seems to see things differently. Bill Dupray of the Patriot Room notes just how significant a deal this is:
Just how much could the Alaska governor make from putting pen to paper? About $7 million, according to some estimates.
Sound like a lot? Not necessarily, says one literary insider.
“Bill Clinton made more than $10 million when he signed his deal in 2001 and that was the most for a former president,” says the source. “Sarah brings something different to the table — there is so much curiosity surrounding her and her life. If they move fast and get this thing on shelves, then a $7 million advance could be worth it.”
Okay, so Bubba, after finishing 8 years as president, gets $10 million and the NYT has to go take a cold shower.
Sarah Palin was the Vice-Presidential pick on a losing ticket in The Year of The Messiah. She was derided and mocked by the left as a five brain-celled Caribou Barbie. And she gets $7 Million?
The Obots and Olbermann can hate her but the free market is betting that Sarah Palin is the Next Big Thing.
Bill has more to say at the link above. Check out his site, too, if you haven't been there much. If you read my site regularly, I'm pretty sure you'll be going there often in the future...
