[...] the day it was available. I won’t be reviewing it tonight, because unlike Ana Marie Cox, who defrauded the Washington Post and its readers with a review wherein she admits to not having read a third of the book, I fully intend to read [...]

Late to this thread but IIRC the anal sex revelations Ms. Cox wrote about back when she became such a celebrity were not her own. IIRC the antics were the actions of a young lady who blogged anonymously as “The Washingtonian”. (She is the second girl (the brunette) in carlitos’ links in comments 42 and 43.)

She was a Senatorial aide who was providing the favors on a semiproffesional basis. (Semi-pro as in you paid her $400 and she pretended she was not a prostiture.)

If you want to show that Cox is a stupid, small woman, you have literally hundreds of examples without having to resort to making jokes about what she likes to do in the bedroom.

Sure, ya could, but why would ya?

I’m halfway through the book. Just finished reading about Palin’s struggle to make ExxonMobil drill on its lease. That, and the other descriptions of her governing style, are interesting. She has no illusions about Big Oil, but found an effective way to make the industry act in Alaska’s best interest. I had no idea there was that much natural gas there.

As Mike K. noted, there’s too much florid prose and imagery — And too much God-talk for this atheist’s preference — but you can get past that to the story there. The description of what it’s like to live in Alaska is fascinating.

The narrative is up to 2007, so I expect soon she’ll get to McCain and the campaign. Too bad Cox and the other MSM types are so concerned with proving their cleverness they’ve ignored the book.

Palin’s book was waiting for me when I got home about 15 minutes ago. So that’s going to be my evening, and probably the next day or two.

I loves me some good outrage and vitriol, and the comments section following Cox’s review were a heaping helping of it.
