Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin – Some Insight and an Excerpt!
By Co-Author: Ken Morris Despite being filled with regret for his own actions while serving for nearly four years under candidate and then half-governor Sarah Palin, Frank Bailey came to fear that his former boss remained a voice in American politics. In Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin, former insider and my co-author Frank Bailey said of his ideals when we first met, “I am still a Fox News Conservative.” Frank went on to explain that Sarah Palin, despite her carefully managed image and “word salad” lip service to conservative ideals, cared little for the smaller government and social values that…
Mudflats Chats – Frank Bailey
~Sarah Palin and Frank Bailey By Jeanne Devon I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with ex-Palin aide Frank Bailey about his memoir Blind Allegiance (co-authored by myself and Ken Morris). Frank Bailey is one of those people I never imagined I’d ever meet, nevermind work with. I once called him “the second most notorious Frank in Alaska politics” with our former Governor Frank Murkowski holding that dubious number one spot. After Bailey ended up in the center of the Troopergate scandal, I, like many Alaskans was pretty miffed. After our mutual co-author Ken Morris who was already…
Frank Bailey’s Memoir Leaked to Press (and a surprise)
As many of you are now discovering, there’s been a reason I haven’t been as prolific on the blog as usual over these past months. There’s not a lot I can tell you now, but I’ve been collaborating with former Sarah Palin aide Frank Bailey, and former Wall Street Exec and award-winning novelist Ken Morris on a little project.

As…
The Ghost of Royalties Yet to Come…
Sarah Palin has chosen her ghost writer collaborator.” Who will be writing Palin’s shiny new chapter book? The lucky winner is Lynn Vincent, a conservative Christian who has written or co-written several other books including “Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime and Corruption in the Democratic Party.” Oooooo, those Democrats are pretty naughty… Good thing Republicans don’t engage in that sort of thing. Oh, wait…..[LINK] Of course, Sarah Palin says she will be writing the book mostly herself, in her own words. I don’t know how much they are paying Ms. Vincent, but I can tell you right now, it’s not enough….
Open Thread – And the Winner IS….
Well, here’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for. The top 10 titles for Sarah Palin’s memoir. So many wonderful suggestions came in after the poll went up I’m almost tempted to have another one. You notice I said “almost” because frankly, I don’t know if I can handle another day of non-stop laughter like that. It’s rather a shock to the system, especially so close to the end of the legislative session. But, without further delay, here are our top 10 vote getters out of 1561 voters over a 48 hour period. Remember that The Audacity of Hype, and…
