Palin Threatens to Sue over The Rogue

For those of you who can't get enough of the Sarah Palin circus, this will be the best news you've heard in a while.  Notoriously thin-skinned Sarah Palin has threatened to sue Random House over it's publication of The Rogue.  This is incredibly stupid for a couple of reasons, therefore my money's on Sarah following through on her threat. 

The surest way to draw attention to an unflattering book is to sue over it.  The book is a flop, so if she was smart, she would ignore it and people would soon forget it.  But no, she wants to sue so that the salacious allegations can be reprinted over and over and over again for years.

More importantly, if she sues, Random House and McGinnis would have the right to discovery.  They could subpoena Palin's medical records regarding the birth of Tripp, which she has never released (the only 2008 candidate who failed to do so).  They could depose Palin's doctors.  The could depose Mike Wooten, the Alaska state trooper the Palins allegedly tried to get fired.  The list goes on and on.  Suing would be monumentally stupid. 

I read The Rogue and calling it unflattering is like calling Sarah Palin a little dim.  It's a gross understatement.  McGinnis alleged that, when Sarah was young and single, She had a one night stand with basketball player Glen Rice:

 He also alleged that she she went through a period when she "had a fetish for black guys" (finally a reason to like her!) and snorted coke.  He also aired the doubts of others, including Andrew Sullivan, about baby Tripp's parentage.  No way this vengeful, shallow woman lets this pass.  She's gonna sue, gosh darn it.  You betcha.

Sarah had better get down to the store and get herself a big ol' box of clothes pins. She is going to be hanging out a butt load of dirty laundry.
