      Given our prior knowledge of both Sarah and Rush, Schultz is probably right. However, unless he's actually read the book himself it's intellectually dishonest to attack a report from someone who has. It's called prejudice.

        Yup, have to agree. Love Big Ed, but you have to read the book to review it.

      Disagree slightly. I mean there's no need for "oxy" in front of "moronic."

        LOL! As an official book reviewer for many many years, I read every damn page before I wrote THIS SUCKS. In a high-brow way, of course.

          I agreee that he should read the book before slamming it. But at the same time, I wouldn't wish Sarah Palin's ghostwritten puffery on anyone.

      Do we know that Ed didn't read the book?

      It's fairly safe to say that if it is a "substantive policy book", then Simple Sarah didn't write one word of it.

      Rush is simply doing what he does... shilling for an up an coming conservative Republican. He did it for Newt Gingrich; he did it for G.W. Bush. It's what they pay him to do.

      Sure, you should read a book to properly review it.

      But you can know a book is awful without having to read it.

      the book is only 5 chapters long... how would it have any room for "substance" or "policy"? readers are lucky if the thing has a crayon section for coloring.

      I actually liked what Fareed Zakaria (CNN anchor and Newsweek editor) wrote about Palin and her Couric interview, "Can we now admit the obvious? Sarah Palin is utterly unqualified to be vice president. She is a feisty, charismatic politician who has done some good things in Alaska. But she has never spent a day thinking about any important national or international issue, and this is a hell of a time to start."

      Somehow, I don't think she has changed much in a year's time. To say anything that comes out of her head is substantive, is a joke. If you want to read a substantive policy book, read something by Zakaria or Paul Krugman. For Rush to even compare Palin to Zakaria and Krugman, that is just sad.

      The quote is from Zakaria's Newswek article:
