Sarah Palin & The Politics Of Celebrity & Money
Governor Palin has a book deal with HarperCollins that will garner her millions of dollars. The Governorship of Alaska pays $125,000 a year. Unless the book is an absolutely terrible book, millions of Americans will by it and Sarah Palin will make millions of dollars.

Maybe Governor Palin is smarter than all of us. After all, politics is theatre, too…
