Sarah's lectures a tough sell

SARAH Palin is said to have pocketed a $7 million advance for the
400-page memoir she turned in four months early, but she might not have
such an easy time on the lecture circuit.

After quitting as governor of Alaska in July, Palin signed with the
top-notch Washington Speakers Bureau, which also reps George W. Bush,
Laura Bush, Condoleezza Rice, hero pilot Chesley Sullenberger, LA
Dodgers manager Joe Torre and magician David Blaine.

Palin's bookers are said to be asking for $100,000 per speech, but an
industry expert tells Page Six: "The big lecture buyers in the US are
paralyzed with fear about booking her, basically because they think she
is a blithering idiot."

Many big lecture venues are subscription series, "and they don't want to
tick people off," said our source. "Palin is polarizing, and some
subscribers might cancel if she's on the lineup." Other lecture buyers
are universities, which have a leftist slant, and corporations, which
dislike controversy.

"Palin is so uninteresting to so many groups -- unless they are
interested in moose hunting," said our insider. "What does she have to
say? She can't even describe what she reads."

Palin likely quit as governor just months after losing the election as
John McCain's vice-presidential running mate because of money. "She knew
that if she waited until her term ended in 2010, these opportunities
would be gone," said a source. "She would have lost millions by staying
in office."

Palin's "Going Rogue: An American Life" is described by Harper publisher
John Burnham as "her words, her life, and it's all there in full and
fascinating detail." Harper wouldn't discuss what Palin was paid.

Lynn Vincent, Palin's collaborator, wrote the book so fast, publication
has been moved up from the spring to Nov. 17.

Funny, how you fail to mention, idiot, that pre-orders for her book are
through the ROOF! It's now #1 on Amazon *and* Noble. How's that work, if
she's such a travesty?

The truth is in the puddin', eh?
