Sarah Palin is writing another book, this one focused on putting faith and values back into Christmas.

The former GOP vice presidential candidate is writing A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas, in which she'll focus on Christian values and criticize the "over-commercialism" and "homogenization" that have come to define the day. The Associated Press says the book will come out in November.

"Amidst the fragility of this politically correct era, it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored," Palin said in a statement released by her publisher, HarperCollins.

She said the book will be "fun, festive" and "thought provoking." It will "encourage all to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our faith and ignore the politically correct Scrooges who would rather take Christ out of Christmas."

Fun, festive and thought provoking? From a Sarah Palin book? I don't think so!

[Angry Dragon]

1. Is she using a ghost writer?? (Holy Ghostwriter)

[harmonicon]

21. Of course she is.

My question isn't whether or not she'll write the book. I know she won't. I'm curious to know if she'll even read it before going on a promotional tour for it.

[Blasphemer]

45. If the McCain campaign is any indication, I think the answer is "no". nt

[harmonicon]

46. That would be my guess as well.

I hope she does do interviews to promote it, because they'll be choc-full of hilarity.

[mercuryblues]

27. Most likely

But will it be the ghost of Christamas past, present or future?

[Firebrand Gary]

2. and nothing says Christmas like using his name to hock your product....

The words "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians, your Christians are so unlike your Christ" were meant specifically for the former 1/2 term Governor of Alaska and people who behave like her.

[TeamPooka]

3. alternate title was - Fuck your religion if you ain't Christian

[Major Nikon]

4. It takes faith to buy literature written by someone with no capacity for abstraction

[Turbineguy]

5. Let's hope the book's

paper is soft, strong and fluffy and the pages are easy to tear out.

[csziggy]

26. Maybe they'll just print it on a roll in a convenient width! n/t

[chelsea0011]

6. and nothing spells over-commercialism like a governor who quit after 2 years in office

to chase the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

[blueknight]

7. its going to be called

" im a fucking idiot, and even santa knows it"

[liberal N proud]

8. Will it be written on toilet paper?

[Blandocyte]

9. "And then Aynranda Claus came down the chimney and

picked up every single one of the presents that were bought with 'entitlements' even though these funds had helped our poor family buy the presents from merchants who needed the money. Then giving us the finger and thumbing her nose, straight up the chimney she rose..."

[Earth_First]

10. Just like a fruitcake...

Nobody want's it, however somehow you end up with one that you just don't know what to do with.

[baldguy]

11. Why do I get the image of a chimp throwing feces at a typewriter?

[Jeff Murdoch]

12. Will it include the time-honored

Xtian tradition of co-opting the holidays of other religions, just because we can't get them to stop celebrating them?

[Canuckistanian]

41. +1

Exactly!

[Paladin]

13. "Twas The Night Before Christmas, And All Through The Lair.....

....sat the AR-15's, with ammo to spare."


Thanks for nothing, Ms. Palin.......

[tanyev]

14. Funny how people who 'hate' over-commercialization want every sales clerk to say "Merry Christmas".

Say, whatever happened to that diet and fitness book she was supposedly working on?

[Arkana]

24. Maybe it's the lack of makeup, but she really looks emaciated in that picture.

[tanyev]

25. Yes, she's looking very unhealthy lately.

Certainly not anyone I would turn to for fitness advice.

[Myrina]

31. Yikes, are you sure that's not her mug photoshopped onto some other body?

If that's really her, I gotta wonder if her new best friend is named Meth.

[tanyev]

43. Oh, it's for reals.

It's from October 2012 and there are multiple photos from that excursion. She looks scary skinny in all of them.

[llmart]

15. Well, why shouldn't she write a book about Christmas?

After all, she can see the North Pole from her house!

[Javaman]

16. Given her grammar skills, I think, aiming for the pre-school market is right

up her alley.

[graegoyle]

17. Let's take christ back out of christmas.

[Mike Daniels]

18. If she (or her ghost-writer) actually were to attack the overcommercialization of the holiday

and acknowledge that it's the retail industry that has pushed the secular/materialistic component of the holiday then perhaps it would be worth a library check-out.

As it is I'm sure she'll blame everything on the liberal elite since her cult won't be willing to tolerate any attack on business/corporations.

[Myrina]

30. ... she's writing a book about Christmas - to sell - as a means to attack 'over commercialism'

Pot, meet kettle. Jus' sayin' ...

[BigAnth]

38. With a convenient release date in November to take advantage of

the commercialism of the X-mas season. Makes perfect sense.

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. Tbogg has the perfect comment on this: 'Grifting Towards Bethlehem'

http://tbogg.firedoglake.com/2013/03/12/grifting-towards-bethlehem/

[yellowcanine]

20. Psst! Don't tell Sarah that the X in Xmas is just the Greek symbol for Christ.

Her head might explode.

[Figaro78]

22. Mommy needs a new American flag pin?

...guess so.

[Arkana]

23. "How to Christmas Like a Youbetcha, by Sarah Palin"?

[Demonaut]

28. "word salad"...a tail of the night Paul Revere rode his horse to tell us the brits were taking xmas

and even the patriotic things and stuff.

[Myrina]

29. Wait, doesn't she know Santa Claus is a socialist? And that he gladly gives to the 'takers'?

.... and he doesn't carry a high powered rifle with which to shoot reindeer from his sleigh?


WTF?

[electricray]

32. In the words of the great Norm MacDonald:

"Happy Birthday, Jesus! Hope you like crap!"

[bullwinkle428]

33. Does a box of crayons come with the book?

[olddots]

34. Chest hairs roasting on an open fire

she's got what every tea bagger guy wants =your joke here .
Well this BREAKING NEWS got her another 15 minutes .

[olddad56]

35. will it be one of those books kids can color in?

[mokawanis]

36. Palin continues to cash in

and that's all she's done since she and Grumpy went down in flames. She's ALL about the money. A true capitalist pig.

[locks]

37. The same rogue

I recommend Joe McGinnis' book The Rogue; Searching for the Real Sarah Palin

[Arugula Latte]

39. Hey, Pinko Palin: What about Capitalism, huh?

Damn Commie.

[Hekate]

40. Sarah's going to make Baby Jesus cry. nt

[woodsprite]

[Skittles]

[pinto]

48. Hi. LBN hosts took a look and we don't feel this is "late breaking news" of national interest.

Locking. Thanks.
