The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
Her book says: [Palin] accuses the McCain
campaign of keeping her away from reporters, which fed a perception
that she was ignoring the media. She writes that she sat down with Katie Couric in part because she felt sorry for her, after Nicolle Wallace, a McCain aide, said Ms. Couric suffered from low self-esteem. A McCain staffer tells a different story.

... Palin felt that Couric was suffering from low self esteem. Yes, this is one of many revelations that have leaked this weekend ahead of the Tuesday release of Palin's autobiography 'Going Rogue'. According to those who have read the book, Palin offers nothing in the way of policy and a lot in the way of rehashing old drama. Palin heavily criticizes the John McCain campaign in the new tell all book and the McCain folks aren't taking the criticism lightly. What will Palin say next? READ MORE HERE! ...

This Palin book is going to be THE… GREATEST… THING… EVAH:
One of the whackiest claims Sarah Palin makes in her new book is that she agreed to her disastrous interview with Katie Couric — a central event during Campaign 2008 — because a top McCain aide told her Couric had low self esteem, leading Palin to take pity on the CBS anchor.
A McCain adviser I just spoke to adamantly denied the claim, and provided a counter story: Palin was repeatedly urged ...

... she professes to be Christian. 2) Put her through the political training process. 3) On the other end out comes a political icon in training with a healthy ego and little self-awareness and still very little sense or compassion. 4) Place her somewhere in your political machine, either as some kind of spokeswoman for family values (Carrie Prejean, Anita Bryant), as a talking head/pundit (Megyn Kelly, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham) or as a politician (Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann). When you cross militant conservatism without self-reflection and a huge ego, you get results like ...
Book review: "Sarah from Alaska"
Daily Kos —
... Sarah Palin is a woman who simply will not be cheated out of more than her fair share of the wattage of whatever limelight is shining, and given the leaks, lies and refutations about the content of her own book, it's probably best for readers interested in Palinology to take hold of a more disinterested volume before diving into Going Rogue head first. Conroy's and Walshe's book would seem to be a bracing pre-read that doesn't hesitate to outline her flaws while still keeping sight of the personality that appealed to the right-wing white base. She's not a caricature in ...
