Before there was Facebook for Sarah Palin, there was email, and the person she exchanged 60,000 frank and often incriminating pieces of email with was Aide Frank Bailey.
Frank Bailey’s nearly 500-page opus, tentatively called "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of our Tumultuous Years," is based on the 60,000 e-mails he exchanged with the then-Governor of Alaska.
Since the book is based upon email sent to Bailey, it’s impossible for Palin to transform into victim mode when even such minor goodies are revealed: "I hate this damn job!" pouted Palin while awaiting the multimillion dollar deal for her biography, and what would become a round of very rewarding ‘speaking’ engagements!
Not only was being the Gov not fun or glamorous, in one of the many emails she reveals one very good reason why she was hasty to leave the job halfway through, and why McCain’s campaign lifted her out of potential hot water!
"I’ll get fired before you will and some of my mismanagement manifestation may catch up with me a lot sooner than I’d hoped."
"Sarah Palin had God’s blessing and people’s love and faith," Bailey wrote. But she had a dark side, "including the compulsion to attack enemies, deny truth, play victim and employ outright deception." Bailey was there through all of the changes. "While..Palins charisma energized followers, her fragile emotional makeup was unnerving. To stay in her good graces, counter-attacking anyone opposing her became the top priority." Some things never change, although the massive crowds of followers seem to be thinning, perhaps they perceive something in the ‘dark side" of the loon? Five hundred pages of revelations should be enough to convince anyone who is capable of changing their mind about sister Sarah, and all she can do is personally attack Frank Bailey, she certainly can’t claim that he made any of it up!
