Quitterzilla’s publisher quits publishing Palin biog
It may have been more than halfway finished, but with an exquisite sense of irony, publisher Zondervan has shelved plans for the Palin biography/hagiography for kids that was slated to hit a bookstore near you in September like a flurry of buckshot peppering a barn door.
They’re keeping schtum on the reason for this decision, but it would be irresponsible not to speculate. So let’s speculate away.
I’ll start us off with a few softballs:
1. It’s an unauthorized biography and Palin’s not about to let anyone else cash in on her brand.
2. They want to hold it back in anticipation of a Palin run for the prezziditzy.
3. It was an absolute honker destined for instant relegation to the remainder stacks and eventual pulping.
Still, silver linings—now the market’s clear for our astounding Betty Cracker’s version, Guide for Grizzly Girls, which I’d be sure to buy even though I have no kids. Why should they have all the fun anyway?
Get to it, Betty. Another 70 pages or so and you’re made for life!
