They said she was crazy when she resigned the governorship of Alaska. Political suicide.
Maybe.
But she has huge legal bills to pay from defending herself during the election.
Well, selling a million books (in under a month) and the attendant book tour, speaking fees, etc. will go a long way to paying those bills. Something she could not have done and still effectively been governor.
Besides, now she joins such luminary political memoirs as The Audacity of Hype.
(what typo?)
