HarperCollins has recalled all copies of Sarah Palin’s Book, “Going Rogue” and has agreed to refund the purchase price to anyone who wants it. According to a late-breaking press release, the title of the book is missing an extra word and no one caught it until now. The correct title of the book is “Going Rogue Hunting.”
A spokesperson for HarperCollins has indicated that this is one of the largest recalls ever in the publishing industry and agrees that “sometimes, just one misplaced or omitted word can really make a difference.”
HarperCollins expects to have corrected copies of the book ready for distribution within the next two weeks, and is offering an additional incentive to book owners to return the defective copies by offering a second book free, Glenn Beck’s “An Inconvenient Book.”

According to the NY Post, the book is actually selling well, even in nyc.
In a non-satirical piece, tough, John Tantillo (who LIKES Palin) points out that by focusing on the Past, rather than the future, Palin sacrifices her “forward motion” and may actually just be shooting herself in the foot though. http://patchworknation.csmonitor.com/csmstaff/2009/1120/why-sarah-palins-going-rogue-tour-looks-like-a-campaign/
