The mainstream media is about to have a collective orgasm as Sarah Palin hits the circuit with the publication of her book Going Rogue.
The book will be published on Tuesday, and the former Alaska governor's literary itinerary conspicuously eschews many major American (i.e. Democratic-oriented) cities, with neither L.A., San Francisco, Philadelphia nor Seattle making the cut (neither does the Tampa Bay region).
However, Palin fans should hop in the car, 'cause the former VP nominee will be making three stops in Florida, including Orlando on November 24th.
Of course, for many observers, Palin's disastrous interview with CBS News anchor Katie Couric was the beginning of the end of the instant love affair, in the immediate wake of the sensational reaction she received when she was named VP, and of course, her speech at the Republican National Convention.
Previously, Palin has blamed Couric for her own egregious problems in the interview. No excerpts are available yet on what will undoubtedly be another blast at Couric, but the Drudge Report today does contain a passage that is supposed to make one of her media handlers, Nicolle Wallace (who previously worked at CBS News as a commentator) look bad.
