Sarah Palin May Be Shopping for a Book

If you thought being governor of Alaska and a new grandmother would be enough to fill the cold, dark nights of the Arctic State, you'd overestimate Sarah Palin, the failed vice presidential candidate.

In addition to galavanting around the nation speaking to every reporter who is willing to speak with her, and more than a few who'd really rather not, Palin has reportedly enlisted the services of Washington lawyer Robert Barnett to help her shop for a book.

Sources close to Palin could not explain why she would need the support of a lawyer to purchase a book or even why she might want to actually read a book. 

One unnamed source reportedly said that Palin had very specific criteria for the type of book she wanted including: 

• All the good characters had to be evangelical Christains
• All the bad characters had to be Muslims, minorities or socialists
• The bad characters had to realize the error of their ways and covert to Christianity, turn caucasian and become free market supporters
• Extra-marital sex was completely unacceptable, unless it was performed by minors who became pregnant and chose to keep the baby, and then it had to be "pure"
• Violence was OK as long as it was perpetrated on Muslims, minorities or socialists
• Not one of the books available in the Wasilla public library

Palin has been trying to stay in the spotlight, presumably with an eye on 2012, and having read a book could help give her the credibility that she lacked in 2008.
