Times Online reports that Palin is on the verge of a book deal worth $7million.  It's revolting that her being a famous idiot instead of just an idiot will garner her big bucks, but there's a silver lining: she'll be on record, and even if she has a ghost writer, which she certainly will, still, she's going to have to supply the 'substance', and there's plenty of opportunity for her to cause herself long-term trouble.  One can only hope that the 'cunning of reason' is at work here, and will turn apparent success into defeat.
