What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Barbara Walters Interviews Sarah Palin

I’m sure she was writing as fast as she could, and that’s not meant as any type of slam at all, but doesn’t it seem that Sarah Palin’s ship has passed? I just really don’t care anymore, and certainly  not enough to buy her book. It just seems had she churned out the book six months ago, I’d care a lot more.
