Evidently Sarah Palin has just released a new book. Which isn’t all that surprising considering that she is all but out of the public eye. But eh, politicians write books all the time.
What makes this a bit odd is that she recently held a book signing in California. I’m not sure I’d have picked that particular state for her signing, but I’m also not in charge of anything. It wasn’t at a bookstore. It wasn’t at a political event. It was at a gun range.
Wait, what?
Yes, you read that correctly. Sarah Palin held a book signing at a gun range in California. Why? I’m sure she’s got plenty of support from those in favor of gun rights, but I just don’t see the point. If she wants to make a statement on guns, then she could just as easily make an actual statement, right?
I just think it was mostly done to attract a certain amount of attention. And it worked. She ran out of books to sell because the line of people was so long. I won’t even comment on why people would even be following her at this point. Oh well.
Do you have any thoughts on having a book signing at a gun range?

I have to admit I’m beginning to get nervous. Who would have thought he’d ever get this far? His hateful rhetoric is appealing to people who are scared and just want somebody, anybody to take care of them even if that somebody is an absolute moron. Did you hear about his idea to ban all Muslims from entering the country? Arrggh!😡

I didn’t think he would. But he’s still a LONG way from the White House. And yes, I heard. What an absolute joke. He stands for everything wrong with America. Why can’t he just make his money and shut up.

Hopefully not. I think the Democratic nomination will be decided early. And the GOP will be just fighting each other to gain any traction with the electorate as a whole.

Sarah Palin represents idiot America at its classiest. She’s utterly batshit crazy! Do you think they could take their gun to get signed too?

Hahaha people took a lot of things to be signed. I don’t think she signed any guns, but I know some of those people were carrying.

Well, as it’s her, it makes perfect sense for her to do a signing there. She could finish the signing and shoot off a few rounds. As you say, it’s all for publicity. What would be the ideal venue for Donald Trump to do a signing? Not a mosque, I’m guessing …

But still. Ugh. And did you hear what Trump just said? Block all Muslims from entering the country. This is a man with a chance at being one of the presidential nominees saying this crap. Blatant racism that people are actually agreeing with. What an absolute and utter joke. All of it.

Yes, I had heard that. I’m just hoping enough people think he’s an embarrassment and he doesn’t get the nomination. None of my business really, of course, not being an American, but I can’t see how a man like that being in charge of such a powerful nation can be good for the planet.

He should stick to his business. At least politicians have some kind of record (or lack thereof) in office. He’s just a rich, racist, sexist guy who doesn’t deserve the Attention he’s getting.

Since the event was probably geared more selling Sarah Palin, than selling Sarah Palin’s book, then yes a gun range was an ideal spot for her. These are absolutely unbelievable times we are living in. But, as others have noted here, I would have thought Texas or Arizona would have been ‘targeted’ for her book signing rather than relatively, liberal-left-coast, California. In any case, the woman in through politically, and good riddance.

Well I think it turned into selling her more than the book after she ran out of books to sign and started signing random crap people had taken with them. And yes, I can do without hearing anything about her.
