Kidist Paulos Asrat writes at her blog:

The most revealing thing about Palin’s re-emergence as an author is that the book, from the many reviews and critiques about it, says very little about her political aspirations. Instead, it seems replete with petty personal grievances about her botched vice presidential campaign, and attacks of her grandson’s father.

A serious person, who has spent years in public office, would surely dedicate the majority of his book to his political work, his political philosophy, and his future aspirations in politics – although not necessarily as a president.

Instead, Palin produces a “tell-all” type of book. And still more revealing was what she said on her recent Oprah interview. We see her driving to her mansion (how come she still lives there?) and says she feels really free to go where she wants and do what she wants.

Yes, after resigning her governorship, which included responsibilities and grueling work, she is now free to hop on a bus and do a tour for a book which has no political significance whatsoever.

This, I think, confirms the shallowness of Palin.

I wrote about her in a previous post looking like an aging country music star. Maybe that is the image she wants to convey – a type of rock star politician, complete with a tour bus. But I wonder how long that will last until she is required to fill in the blanks.
