Never Expect Gratitude
I've lived in Alaska for 55 years. I'm a registered independent. I've attended meetings with Governor Palin. I know the lady, not the image she projects. I've got no axe to grind; Palin is now largely irrelevant to Alaska.
From out of all the misstatements, narcissism, spin and distortions that make this biography so embarrassing to read, one indisputable fact emerges: It's pretty clear ex-governor Palin would still be a low-profile politician in the frozen north, but for candidate McCain and his staff. Those would be the same folks she attacks so fiercely in this biography.
Which brings to mind Mark Twain's famous quote: "If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man."
