Hunter. Hockey mom. Live action figure.
Sarah Palin is living proof that politics does indeed make strange bedfellows.

In this hilarious, irreverent look at the world?s most infamous Miss Congeniality, comedian and WTF? author Gregory Bergman reveals more than one hundred bizarre, obscure facts about the bizarre, obscure governor from Wasilla, including:

#3 Sarah Palin supports funding for abstinence-only programs in schools. Just call her Grandma.

#4 In 2007, Sarah Palin offered $150 to every hunter who hacked off the left foreleg of a wolf shot from a plane. Talk about wolves being thrown, uh, to the wolves.

#12 Sarah Palin once dressed as Tina Fey for Halloween. She gained twenty IQ points and a sense of humor.

101 Things You?and John McCain?Didn?t Know about Sarah Palin?because politics is funnier than fiction!

Writer and comedian Gregory Bergman (Los Angeles, CA) is the author of WTF?, BizzWords, -Isms, and The Little Book of Bathroom Philosophy. He might just vote for Sarah Palin, because she?s one hot MILF of a politician. But don?t tell his Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits mother.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Alaskan Citizen Who Is Not In Favor Of $arah, December 13, 2009

By 

Alaskan Reader "Alaskan Reader" (Anchorage, AK United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 101 Things You - and John McCain - Didn't Know about Sarah Palin (Paperback)

Yes, the entire book is mindless drivel. But that is what $arah Palin is. She ran for governor proclaiming an open and transparent government. The first day in office she went behind closed doors with the oil companies. She conducted state business on an untraceable Yahoo email account.

THE ONLY THING OPEN AND TRANSPARENT ABOUT $ARAH PALIN IS THE SPACE BETWEEN HER EARS.

She is an embarrasement to women, the citizens of Alaska, and any human being with a brain.

The book may sound stupid and hokey but every bit of it is unfortunately true. The book is spot on!

This review is from: 101 Things You - and John McCain - Didn't Know about Sarah Palin (Paperback)

It is so refreshing when the mindless lunacy of these sorts of people can be woven into such a funny read. It's also frightening... people actually believe these sorts of people are good. It's terrifying.

This review is from: 101 Things You - and John McCain - Didn't Know about Sarah Palin (Paperback)

Thought this book might have something important to say. It doesn't. Just a white trash book report looking for a good laugh. I'm an Obama supporter and still found the book foolish and annoying.
