Book Description

November 17, 2009
The November 17 release of Sarah Palin s new memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life, coincides with the launch of Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book by new independent publisher TBTM Media. Satirist Micheal Stinson and political cartoonist Julie Sigwart have teamed up to create this parody, which mercilessly lampoons Sarah Palin, and skins her policies like she would a rogue moose.

The 48-page coloring book features puzzles, word games, and mazes, like "Help Sarah find her way to the White House" and "Where in the world does domestic Alaskan oil go?" The reader can help Sarah (dressed in fishing overalls) choose her fishing gear from: an axe, a chainsaw, a pistol, and a bomb. We've all heard Sarah's "I can see Russia from my house!" -- now here's your chance to color the Kremlin rouge from her kitchen.

When asked why he wanted to create this political cartoon parody about Palin, Stinson said, "We are environmentally conscious folks, and consider Sarah Palin a threat to ecosystems everywhere. She is continuing the disasterous legacy of George W. Bush, and is an epitome of the stereotypical 'Ugly American.' We wanted to show the real Sarah Palin, warts and all, who otherwise is just another slick, glossy PR machine invention." Stinson added, "Those Palin books, they're just a buncha words - ours has pictures! And, In the interest of fairness, we have a confession to make: Palin didn't write this book either."

Editorial Reviews

Review

Love her or hate her, people are drawn to Sarah Palin. Now, a new book wants you to color her. One year after the race for the White House, publishers have released several books about the GOP vice presidential candidate. The most anticipated is her own memoir, "Going Rogue: An American Life," which lands on store shelves on Nov. 17 and is tops in pre-orders on Amazon and Barnes & Noble's websites. Will there be parodies? You betcha. In fact, the two spoof books share the same title. "Going Rouge: Sarah Palin - An American Nightmare" features essays by writers for The Nation, a liberal magazine. The other is "Going Rouge -- The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring and Activity Book" by husband and wife team Julie Sigwart and Michael Stinson. "That other book just has a bunch of words," joked Stinson of The Nation's book. "We got pictures!" But coloring pictures is only half of it. There are mazes such as "Help Sarah find her way to the White House" (hint: it's impossible) and a cut-out paper doll page titled "Dress Sarah for Success!" (wardrobe options include an Alaskan wolf pelt skirt). There's also a word search with this theme: "Sarah wins nomination for Pres! Who will she pick for her Veep?" Names to be found include Rush Limbaugh, Joe the Plumber, and Hairstylist. Stinson, 57, and his wife are long-time liberal political activists who live in Ocean Pines, Md., and work as graphic artists. He is also well acquainted with the Alaskan terrain. He worked there as a uranium prospector in the 1970s. At one point the helicopter he was flying in crashed over the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Stinson, along with the rest of crew, spent a week in the remote wilderness before they were found. ("We actually did talk about cannibalism.") Echoing Palin's "drill, baby, drill" statement from her vice presidential debate, he said the goal of the coloring book is to have it "sell, baby, sell!" He called the response to date "phenomenal," especially among bookstores in Alaska. "We decided to do something playful and spontaneous," said Stinson, who used to collect every issue of Mad Magazine. "We also figured a coloring book was the perfect vehicle in which to lampoon her." --Stephen Lowman, The Washington Post

5.0 out of 5 stars funny, February 11, 2010
This review is from: Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book (Paperback)
If you have a sense of humor, you'll like this one. Funny political humor that doesn't pull any punches. I think it will appeal to more liberal people, of course. However, some progressive conservatives will get the joke. Personally, I'd like to see an entire series covering more politicians and giving all of them this kind of treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical..., August 14, 2011
This review is from: Going Rouge: The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring & Activity Book (Paperback)
This is a wonderful piece of American political culture, and in many ways a deceptively simple explanation of everything wrong with Ms. Palin.

Should you get this? You betcha!
