Palin publisher sues blog over leaks:
CBC News - Books



The publisher of Sarah Palin's upcoming book is taking Gawker Media to court for leaking pages of America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith and Flag ahead of its release.


HarperCollins Publishers filed the lawsuit in a Manhattan court on Friday, just two days after Gawker published images online of 21 pages from the book as well as its dedication page.

On Saturday, a federal judge ordered Gawker to pull the pages, which it did, and prohibited Gawker from "continuing to distribute, publish or otherwise transmit pages from the book" pending the results of a hearing on Nov. 30.

The court documents demand that Gawker be prevented from "further copyright infringement" and that the site's managers also deliver the material it used to the publisher so it can be destroyed.

HarperCollins is also seeking monetary damages but did not specify the amount.

The blog site responded to the lawsuit by posting a message on its site late Friday titled, "Palin Is Mad at Us for Leaking Pages From Her Book," and linked to websites defining the fair use doctrine of copyright law.
The blog is not the first site to publish excerpts from Palin's second book. It originally refused to take them down after getting a letter from the publisher.

America By Heart, set for release on Nov. 23, has been promoted as a tribute to American values.
In it, the former vice-presidential candidate — who is currently starring in the reality series Sarah Palin's Alaska — lauds Simon Cowell while lambasting President Barack Obama for expressing "a stark lack of faith in the American people."

NEW Reality TV Show, Sarah Palin's Alaska

 Sarah Palin continues to be in the center of the news, while she stars in her own reality TV show, Sarah Palin's Alaska.  It probably will be quite entertaining, since Sarah herself is a charismatic and talkative character. She seems to draw watchers, so the reality show has a good chance of being successful.

Sarah Palin's Alaska reality tv

Former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin stars in her own reality show, Sarah Palin's Alaska. Hadley Freeman watches the first episode

Happy news! Not long to go before the debut of what will certainly be the television event of the year, the inevitable (and, frankly, surprisingly long time coming) Sarah Palin reality TV show, Sarah Palin's Alaska.

How many new words will this modern day Shakespeare coin over the course of this eight-part series? How many times will she wink and hint that she may or may not run for president in 2012? And most of all, will we finally get to see whether one can indeed see Russia from her house?

Join me on my big red sofa here at 9pm ET (2am GMT) tonight so we can watch and marvel together. Or, if you sadly don't have access to the cultural treasure chest that is US cable, you can just read and marvel as I try my best to transcribe Palin's extraordinary syntax.

Sarah Palin, Defending JOE MILLER, Alaska Senate Candidate

 Sarah Palin is not allowing the media to forget her. This time it's on behalf of Joe Miller, Palin's favored Senate candidate in Alaska. According to the article below, it was about a conversation on tape between Alaska television journalists about possible disruptions at a rally for Joe Miller. Sarah is determined to stay in the public eye.

Sarah Palin, not happy with the media
The Oval: Tracking the Obama presidency:

The battle between Sarah Palin and the media is getting personal.

The latest flare-up: A conversation on tape between Alaska television journalists about possible disruptions at a rally for Joe Miller, Palin's favored Senate candidate in Alaska.

'Those are corrupt bastards, Chris,' Palin told Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday. 'That's what is wrong with the media today, when they have their chosen one, and nine times out of 10 -- heck, 10 times out of 10 in the liberal media -- it's going to be the liberal is the chosen one. So we have a problem there with what Joe Miller has had to face.'

Palin also made reference to "kind of what I put up with for two years now with the media."

As Palin considers a presidential bid of her own, it may be worth noting that President Obama doesn't have a real high opinion of the news media either.
"We've made progress, but I know that sometimes, as we're grinding out this change, and there's all the negative ads and the pundits on TV and there's still a lot of unemployment out here, and sometimes people feel discouraged," Obama said Sunday in Cleveland.

Was Sarah Palin Really Booed at Dancing With the Stars?

 I watched Dancing With The Stars last night, but didn't hear any boo-ing, however I did note that the host did mention that someone had booed. According to the article below, the booing heard was a direct response from the audience to Jennifer [Grey] and Derek [Hough]'s scores which were perceived as relatively low for a dance that received a standing ovation. It wasn't for Sarah Palin? Whew!

Backstage at Dancing With the Stars: Was Sarah Palin Really Booed?
E! Online:

Sarah Palin stopped by Dancing With the Stars last night to give her 'expert ballroom commentary' that everyone and everything was 'amazing.'

But did she not receive the same amazing love in return from the audience?

'There's booing in the ballroom,' host Brooke Burke said right before Palin appeared on the live show. 'We don't know why.' Well, we do...

"The booing heard was a direct response from the audience to Jennifer [Grey] and Derek [Hough]'s scores which were perceived as relatively low for a dance that received a standing ovation," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells us.

Whatever the reason, even Sarah herself looked a bit stunned when the camera turned to her and the booing could be heard in the background. So will the Alaskan politician brave the fiesty crowd and come back to visit DWTS again? We spoke to Bristol Palin after the show, and she told us of Mommy Cheerest: "Hopefully she'll be able to make it, [but] who knows if it will be next week or whenever, I'm just happy she was able to see one of them."

And though some might argue that the elder Palin's visit was a bit of a distraction from the dancers, Bristol insists "it was comforting" having her mom there. "I was excited she was here and able to cheer us on," she said.

There is one family member Bristol is counting on for support week-to-week—and he's still in diapers!

"Tripp watches [DWTS] and he claps and cheers," Bristol told us. "I don't know if he can tell it's me but he likes the dancing."

Will Sarah Palin be tea party candidate in 2012?

Sarah is certainly staying in the spotlight - and the writer of the following article is exactly correct in observing that she is part of everything "Tea Party". Apparently, Palin praises the movement as a "ground-up call to action that is forcing both parties to change the way they are doing business," adding, "It is so inspiring to see real people, not politicos come out and stand up and speak out for commonsense conservative principles." So, does that mean that she is a TEA PARTY candidate wannabe?

Sarah Palin, tea party candidate in 2012?
The Fix - By Chris Cillizza  | September 21, 2010; 1:22 PM ET 

"Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) appears to be making a purposeful play in recent days to be the face of the 'tea party' movement, a strategy that suggests what sort of candidacy she would run if she enters the 2012 presidential contest.

Palin has largely demurred when asked about her 2012 ambitions (or lack thereof) -- choosing to steer the conversation to the importance of electing Republicans this fall.

But, in a speech to the Iowa Republican Party on Friday night and then again in a Web video released by her political action committee today, she seems to be sending clear hints about a national bid -- and laying claim to the mantle of the tea party candidate if she does run.

In the video -- titled "Tea Party" -- Palin praises the movement as a "ground-up call to action that is forcing both parties to change the way they are doing business," adding, "It is so inspiring to see real people, not politicos, not inside-the-Beltway professionals, come out and stand up and speak out for commonsense conservative principles."

Palin sounded similar themes in her speech to the Iowa Republican party's Ronald Reagan dinner on Friday night -- repeatedly praising the candidacy of tea party insurgent Christine O'Donnell (R) in Delaware and castigating many of the GOP poobahs, most notably former Bush White House senior adviser Karl Rove.

Sarah 's Iowa trip points to 2012 presidential run

 Sarah Palin is still going strong. She is fulfilling all the steps to keep herself in front of the media and the nation until the 2010 Presidential election. As the article below suggests, she is following all the critical steps. Who know? We may be calling her 'President Palin' one day. Ouch!

Sarah Palin's Iowa trip points to 2012 presidential run
World news | The Guardian:

Attendance at Republican dinner in key state is seen as biggest sign yet that Sarah Palin aims to take on Obama in 2012

There are boxes that US presidential hopefuls have to tick early. They have to start building a campaign team, albeit discreetly. They have to set up a fundraising machine. And they have to visit Iowa, the small but politically crucial state that traditionally kicks off a White House run.

Sarah Palin has ticked the first two and on Friday will tick the third when she is the main speaker at a $100-a-seat Republican dinner in Des Moines, Iowa. The party's sole superstar has not yet said whether she will seek the nomination to take on Barack Obama in 2012. But all the indications point to a run, and Friday's visit is the biggest sign yet.

Democrats may detest her, and so does the Republican establishment, for her perceived lack of sophistication and polarising effect on the electorate. But neither will make the choice in the Iowa caucus. The party activists will, and they are shifting behind her. Long before the contest has formally begun, Palin is fast on the way to becoming unstoppable.

Marilea David, a lifelong Republican, is typical of the fan base, seeing in Palin an alternative to the old-boy network. "I think she is great. She is the only person I am excited about just now," David said over coffee in west Des Moines.

"She is fiscally conservative. She married her husband for love, not money. She does not have perfect kids, which is big for me. She has been totally vetted by the liberal media and they did not come up with anything other than she is a 'hick'.
