"My journey so far"

Post by Gob »

Something is very wrong in the world of biography, when a know nothing, done nothing imbecile like this can get a biography out. Who would read such fucking dross?
Bristol Palin writes in her new book of losing her virginity to boyfriend Levi Johnston on a camping trip after getting drunk for the first time on too many wine coolers.

She awoke in her tent, alone, with no memories of what had happened as Johnston "talked with his friends on the other side of the canvas". She had vowed to wait until marriage. And she had lied to her parents about where she was going.

Palin, a 20-year-old single mother and the daughter of former Alaska Republican Governor Sarah Palin, tells a story of "deception and disappointment" in the book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far.

The memoir, co-written with Nancy French, is scheduled for publication by William Morrow next week.

Palin's book covers growing up with her family, which she portrays affectionately, and the excitement of her mother's political life as governor and then, in 2008, as the GOP vice-presidential candidate. But the main theme is her on-and-off-again relationship with Johnston, with whom she had a child and was briefly engaged while caught in a media spotlight.

Ferfucksake. Give an idiot a sniff of infamy and they all come rushing out to claim it.

Though not able to do it without help from Nancy French on the difficult joined up words I note.
Bah!

"taking after BO's example"? I think you'll find BO had done a fuck of a sight more than get pregnant out of wedlock before publishing his books. That's just such an non sequitur it's unbelievable!

Try again.

How about she was following Jordan...
Katrina Amy Alexandria Alexis Infield (born 22 May 1978), better known as Katie Price, previously known under the pseudonym Jordan, is a British television personality, occasional singer and former glamour model.

Price released the first of four autobiographies Being Jordan in May 2004. Initially turned down by the mainstream publishing houses after demanding a £1 million advance, she was eventually signed up by small independent publisher John Blake, a former tabloid journalist, for £10,000 plus royalties.

It's frivolous and egotistical to write any biography before you are at least 50, whether it's Bristol at 20 or BO at 40. But please 2 before your 40, what a narcissist

So I guess it was completely frivolous to have written biographies about these people, who were all dead before the age of 50:

George Orwell
Oscar Wilde
Jane Austen
William Shakespeare
Ovid
Horace
Raphael
Hannibal Barca
Christopher Marlowe
Julius Caesar
Caravaggio
Che Guevara
Amelia Earhart
Vincent Van Gogh
Yuri Gagarin
Alexander the Great
John Keats
Tutankhamun
John F. Kennedy
Franz Shubert
Frederic Chopin
Felix Mendelssohn
Anne Frank (what a narcissistic twat she was, she started writing her autobiography at 13)
Elvis Pressley
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jesus Christ

You're absolutely right lib, no one who has not reached the age of 50 has ever achieved anything that is worthy of inclusion in a biography, and no one ever will.

I should have said autobiography actually. Biography is a whole other deal.

Writing and publishing are 2 different things, and I would bet anne Frank would have called hers a diary at 13, just like she did when it was published.

Ah. So if someone else had held the pen to write Obama's two books, you'd have nothing to say about it?

Why do I find that difficult to believe?

If someone views another person as worthy of their time to write a biography, that's their choice.

I wouldn't read anything in the "Twilight" series yet they fly off the shelves.

I can see a market for this one too...

Just because lot's of folks read them, doesn't mean BOs not a narcissist, which he obviously is.
“The first time around it’s like lightning in a bottle. There’s something special about it, because you’re defying the odds. And as time passes, you start taking it for granted that a guy named Barack Hussein Obama is president of the United States,” Obama said. “But we should never take it for granted.”
"They just don't seem to give it any credibility at all," Berry told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette of the Republican threat that he sees. "They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, 'Well, the big difference here and in '94 was you've got me.'

To me it sounds more like he is a narcissist because he is a nigger from the wrong side of the political fence.

:roll:


Many politicians write biographies during the terms. They either sell or they don't. But chances are they have done more than lost their bloody virginity and fallen pregnant.

Mind you, I am mildly surprise that Bristol didn't write one after taking her first big unassisted dump? Is that because that hasn't happened yet?
Bah!

It never ceases to amaze me how leftist see everything in "balck and white" Always pitting one artificial group against another.

Her writing a biography is just about money I must assume, she has no life experience

Who introduced Barak Obama into a debate on whether a twenty year old has lived enough of a life to warrant having a biography published?
