Politics: Sarah Palin decided “Going Rogue” not enough, writing another book

  • It’ll be “celebration of American virtues and strengths.” In Palin-ese. Months after the release of her 2.2-million-copies-and-counting first book “Going Rogue,” HarperCollins (which is owned by News Corp., which owns Fox News) will release a second book by the former VP candidate.
