The former governor of Alaska is set to release her new book "Going Rogue" which promises to air more dirty laundry than even trashy talking heads from MSNBC can handle.  Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate who made a big splash onto the political scene abruptly resigned her position as governor of Alaska ahead of the publication of her book.  Critics are still wondering what precipitated such an abrupt move, and no such revelation is expected in the book.

Instead, we can expect the 400 plus pages to have several themes, not more interesting than that of Palin’s discomfort with the conduct of John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.  Central to that campaign is Steve Schmidt, who, when asked about how he expects to be portrayed in Palin’s book replied, "not well."  Indeed he’s right.

In "Going Rogue." Schmidt is painted as a character cast as out of touch, overly cautious to the point of being paranoid, and vindictive.  The book will show that the relationship between the vice presidential candidate and the campaign manager was smooth at first, but ultimately deteriorated into an unprofessional f-bomb pit so detestable that Palin commanded Schmidt: "no more f-bombs around Piper, please?"  Piper, of course, is Palin’s youngest daughter.  Palin also noted that Schmidt was uncomfortable with discussing God and that she "will forever question the campaign for prohibiting discussion of such association."

In addition to less than flattering descriptions of Schmidt, Palin also takes aim at others of the "professional political caste." Palin, together with daughter Piper, also found comedy in the political pack and observed that "[the political handlers] were tumbling out of the bus in a pack, lighting cigarettes as they went so it looked like a walking smoke cloud with legs."
