... . The excerpts are so far incomplete and context is missing.

Palin to Media – “Quit Findin’ Things Out!”
The Mudflats —
... The Huffington Post - In an article by Sam Stein, we learn that the aforementioned Steve Schmidt, apparently incensed by Palin’s liberal use of the literary device “makin’ things up” has released not one, not two, but three emails that controvert claims that Palin made in her book.

Staffers call the excerpts from the book “a serious mixing of truth and imagination.” ...

Rising Hegemon —
Speaking of Sarah Palin, her fondness for lying in the face of documented facts continues unabated. The Huffington Post has obtained internal McCain campaign emails -- addressed to and by the former vice presidential candidate -- that directly contradict or cast serious doubt on several of Palin's assertions. The emails were passed along by a mid-level staffer who called early excerpts of "Going Rogue", a serious mixing of truth and imagination." So for Palin, a day ending in "Y". ...

TPMCafe —
... But that's exactly why Oprah did a terrible disservice to the public in today's interview with Sarah Palin, who is no victim and no ordinary celebrity. She's a politician who has carefully crafted a bogus narrative of victimization at the hands of McCain aides, the Washington elite and the mainstream media. And now with Going Rogue, she's trying to cement that story, neutralizing McCain staffers who say otherwise (see Sam Stein and ...
