RougeRogueGenerally, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but in this case, there’s another agenda afoot. On the same day Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue: An America Life goes on sale, the editors of the left-leaning The Nation are releasing Going Rouge: An American Nightmare. But this book with a similar cover and name to Palin’s already-bestseller isn’t a parody; it’s a collection of essays designed to provide an alternate telling of Palin’s life story.

The publisher of the anti-Palin book points out on its website: “Palin has become one thing: an American obsession that just won’t go away.” And thanks to overreactions like this from the left, she’s likely to remain in the spotlight for a long, long time. (Sort of like Obama and his obsessing over Fox News.)

And speaking of “Going Rouge,” another book with that title is coming out Nov. 17, and in this case it is a parody of sorts: a “Coloring & Activity Book,” complete with, you guessed it, a page where you can color in lipstick on pigs. OK, now, try to stay within the lines!
