Slew of 'Tell All' Books About Sarah Palin About to Hit Book Store Shelves

This list does not include the book coming out about Palin faking her last pregnancy and her son trig is not really hers.

For a politician whom the pundacracy has written off as irrelevant and certainly incapable of winning publish office, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin certainly has a lot of "tell all" books being published about her.

The common thread in these books is an imperative that the ancient Roman Senator Cato the Elder might have expressed as, "Palin, delenda est!" Palin must be destroyed.

First up is "The Lies of Sarah Palin: The Untold Story Behind Her Relentless Quest for Power" by Geoffrey Dunn. The book accuses Palin of having ambition and being deceitful. A review in the Christian Science Monitor suggests the book is and "an extended ad hominem attack with little fresh information, analysis, or insight."

Frank Bailey, a former Palin staffer, is about to publish "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years" with the help of two co-writers. Bailey is now under investigation by the Alaska Attorney General for improper use of private emails in the production of the book. The book accuses Palin of everything from being estranged from her husband Todd to faking letters to the editors of newspapers. Spokespeople for Palin accuse Bailey of being a disgruntled former employee who is peddling falsehoods.

The most anticipated book about Palin is "The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin " by Joe McGinniss. McGinniss had caused a controversy by renting a house next to the Palins' in the summer of 2010, causing the Palins to extend the height of their backyard fence to block his view. Accusations of stalking and worse ensued. The book is widely assumed to be a hit piece based on a disputed article McGinniss wrote about Palin in the now defunct magazine, Portfolio, concerning a natural gas pipeline she championed while governor.

From the vicious to the bizarre comes "Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs" by Levi Johnson, which has to win the prize for the weirdest cover, depicting the former high school hockey player, Playgirl model and father of Palin's grandchild as a deer in the crosshairs. Johnson's relationship with the Palin family has been, mildly speaking, rocky. Whatever he has to say will certainly be suspect, but likely will be entertaining.
Three years of lies and attacks, yet she still stands, this magazine is 2 years old, it attacks her, her husband, and her 15 year old daughter
