Palin Tell-All Author Explains Why He Wrote ‘Scathing’ Book

Palin Tell All Author Explains Why He Wrote Scathing BookJUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A former member of Sarah Palin’s inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around.

“In 2009 I had the sense if she made it to the White House and I had stayed silent, I could never forgive myself,” Frank Bailey told The Associated Press.

Palin’s attorney did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story.

“Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years” is due out Tuesday and based on tens of thousands of emails that Bailey said he kept during his time with Palin. It began with working on her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and continued through her failed run for vice president in 2008 and her brief stint as governor.

The Alaska attorney general‘s office has said it’s investigating Bailey’s use of the emails. Executive ethics laws bar former public officials from using information acquired during their work for personal gain if the information hasn’t been publicly disseminated.

The state has yet to release thousands of emails that Palin sent and received during her 2 ½ years as governor. Bailey’s attorney has said Bailey took “great care” to ensure his writings were consistent with legal requirements.

Billed as the first Palin book by a former aide, “Blind Allegiance” bolsters the perception of Palin as self-serving, while casting Bailey as her enforcer — willing to do the dirty work, no questions asked.

Bailey became a footnote in Alaska political history by getting embroiled in an investigation of Palin‘s firing of her police commissioner over allegations the commissioner wouldn’t fire trooper Mike Wooten, who‘d had a bitter divorce with Palin’s sister. Bailey was caught on tape questioning a state trooper official about why Wooten was still employed.

Bailey, who was Palin’s director of boards and commissions, was put on leave after news of the recording broke, though he claims his actions were with the prodding of Palin’s husband, Todd.

In spite of this, and what he describes as campaigns by Sarah Palin over the years to tear down others who have crossed or confronted her, he stuck around.

To speak up when he saw things he didn’t agree with “went against all that investment of time and energy that I put into her,” said Bailey. He said he “shed his family,” his wife and two kids, to singularly focus on Palin during her rise to the governor’s office and beyond.

When Palin burst onto the statewide political scene, she was seen as a “breath of fresh air” amid the corruption that had seeped into Alaska politics. “We looked at her as … that queen on a horse that could come in and save the state,” he said. “As we started to see that that was not the case, I kept silent and I just kept on working.”

Among the claims made in the book: that Palin’s 2006 gubernatorial campaign coordinated with the Republican Governors Association, or RGA, in violation of campaign rules. The book describes cameras rolling as Palin strode through the door at an Anchorage hotel “over and over and over,” for an RGA ad.

At that time, there was a one-year statute of limitations on complaints, and the Alaska Public Offices Commission did not receive any complaints related to Palin and the association during that period. However, the RGA was fined — unrelated to Palin — for late reporting, according to the commission’s executive director, Paul Dauphinais.

Bailey said the final straw for him came in the summer of 2009, when Palin didn‘t attend a rally he believed she’d repeatedly agreed to attend, for supporters of a voter initiative to require minors get parental consent for an abortion. This came after a string of cancellations, including one before a Republican women’s group at the Ronald Reagan Library in California. Her aides claimed no one had committed to this well-publicized event..

“Getting Sarah to meetings and events was like nailing Jell-O to a tree,” Bailey wrote. On the campaign trail and as governor, Sarah went through at least ten schedulers, with few lasting more than months. Nobody wanted the job because Sarah might fail to honor, at the last minute, the smallest commitments, and making excuses for her became a painful burden.”

By the time she cancelled on the parental notification event in Anchorage, Palin had resigned as Alaska’s governor and embarked on a new path, one in which she’d become a best-selling author, highly sought-after speaker, political phenom and prospective presidential candidate.

Bailey claims her heart wasn’t in governing after she returned to Alaska from her failed run for vice president. At home, she faced a barrage of ethics complaints — nearly all of which were ultimately dismissed — and Bailey said she told him as early as February 2009 that if she could find the right message to tell Alaskans, she’d “quit tomorrow.”

She resigned in July 2009.

Bailey confesses to “a ton of mistakes” and speaks of a return to God; he said his church has become a sanctuary and that he’s reconnect with his family. He said writing the book — which itself has generated controversy — was cathartic.

In February, the book project also made headlines when a draft manuscript was leaked. An attorney for Bailey and his co-writers accused author Joe McGinniss, who has his own Palin book coming out this year. McGinniss’ attorney acknowledged McGinniss selectively shared the manuscript, but said the manuscript included no request for confidentiality.

Bailey dismisses any suggestion he’s disgruntled or bitter; he said he got a front-row seat to state and national politics and was able to recommend judges and set up “hundreds” of board positions. “Yeah, there were some tough, tough times but hopefully I’ve learned from some of that,” he said. “Time will tell.”

He said he has no ill feelings toward Palin, with whom he says he hasn’t spoken since the fall of 2009. If anything, he said, he feels sad for her.

“I’m sad at a lot of wasted potential,” said Bailey, who believed she could accomplish more than she did as governor. “I certainly don’t hate her but I look at a lot of wasted opportunities on her part.”

    Here’s what Roger Ailes really thinks of Palin -

    “He thinks things are going in a bad direction,” another Republican close to Ailes told [Sherman]. “Roger is worried about the future of the country. He thinks the election of Obama is a disaster. He thinks Palin is an idiot. He thinks she’s stupid. He helped boost her up. People like Sarah Palin haven’t elevated the conservative movement.”

      Fox News Channel executives are disputing a quotation made by an unnamed Republican in the latest issue of New York magazine saying that the network’s chairman, Roger Ailes, thinks former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska is “an idiot.”

      The article quotes “a Republican close to Ailes” who makes that assertion and adds: “He helped boost her up. People like Sarah Palin haven’t elevated the conservative movement.” Mr. Ailes did not speak for the magazine article.

      In a statement to The New York Times, the Fox News Channel executive vice president of programming, Bill Shine, said:

      “I know for a fact that Roger Ailes admires and respects Sarah Palin and thinks she is smart. He also believes many members of the left-wing media are extremely terrified and threatened by her. Despite a massive effort to destroy Sarah Palin, she is still on her feet and making a difference in the political world. As for the ‘Republican close to Ailes’ for which the incorrect Palin quote is attributed, when Roger figures out who that is, I guarantee you he or she will no longer be ‘close to Ailes.’ ”

    The following can be found on internet websites about Obama when he was a senator, compare these tidbits with what this dude’s tell all book will reveal about Palin’s governorship.
    Obama sponsored S.CON.RES.53: A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that any effort to impose photo identification requirements for voting should be rejected. In 1999 he was the only Illinois State Senator to vote against a bill barring early release for (criminal) sex offenders. He voted against filtering pornography on school and library computers and he voted for sex education for kindergarten children through the 5th grade. In 2001, he voted “present” on a bill to keep pornographic book and video stores and strip clubs from setting up within 1,000 feet of schools and churches. Twice, Obama voted against bills prohibiting tax funding of abortions. In February 2004, his wife, Michelle, sent out a fundraising letter, which stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the Country, and that the ‘so-called’ partial-birth abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected. In 2003, as chairman of the next Senate committee to which BAIPA (Born Alive Infants Protection Act) was sent, Obama prevented it from even getting a hearing. BAIPA, stated that all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.

    When you’re on top everyone is clamoring to take you down. Sarah couldn’t possibly be at all the events that came her way due to the fact she was doing the business of Alaska, not out there posing for pictures or cutting ribbons!!! Some things are more important!! Leaders have to make tough decisions and yes, some people don’t see it that way and their noses will get tweaked. They will remember this and use this later on and throw the first stone. I remember reading she let go of her private cook (saved them some $$) and did her own cooking. You can’t fault her for wanting to be a part of her family, a mom and run a State!! Key here: most of the ethics charges didn’t stick.

      “Bailey confesses to “a ton of mistakes” and speaks of a return to God; he said his church has become a sanctuary and that he’s reconnect with his family.”
      I won’t rule out the slight possibility that what he says is true, but, I seriously doubt that it is. Between having a chance to make a buck, become a big name with this and become a favorite to all the liberal commies out there I would have to say that it is a self satisfying personal adavancement for him. I am a very big believer in having a close relationship to God and therefore be honest with integrity, I have seen too many people want to advance themselves any way that they can, even to the point of flushing honesty and integrity down the toilet and have a very convenient claim to having to trying to destroy someone because they had a “return to God”. While it is not always the case, that particular phrase is a favorite one to use to justify what they are doing. Also by the way, I see that it is very good timing on his part with this, I guess his “return to God” luckily just happened to coincide with what is going on with Palin at this time.

      Also, isn’t Jeanne Devon the now infamous anonymous anti-Palin blogger that was exposed as the one who was filing all those bogus ethics complaints against the Governors office during the campaign of 2008 on behalf of the democRAT party and the won?

      She is.

      ““In 2009 I had the sense if she made it to the White House and I had stayed silent, I could never forgive myself,” Frank Bailey told The Associated Press.”

      More like “If her fame wanes before I can get a book out about her, I will never forgive myself.”

      Palin is really the only viable candidate – unless you’re into the status quo, which most of you appear to be. You think you‘re backing somebody that’s gonna change the system, but you’re really not.

      How can you guys not see this??? It just goes to show how most of you people really don’t want see major changes. Scared???

      The book’s other authors are Jeanne Devon, a frequent Palin-basher and writer at the Huffington Post, and Ken Morris, a liberal economist known for his rants against Wall Street.

      Let me tell you something
      In Mrs. Palin’s first book she tells how she received a letter from God through automatic writing (He told her she was doing a good job).
      There is nothing anyone can write about Mrs. Palin that is more damning than her own words.

      Instead of demonizing this man why not stop and consider what he is saying. Palin has been exposed at virtually every step of her political career as a money first, me first opportunist. What makes any of you think she would care for the people of this country if elected?

      The anti-Palin books headed our way are sure to delight the usual Palin-bashing keyboard addicts punching away until the wee hours of the night. On the other hand, they could serve as amusement to others as they become aware of the actual facts.

      Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin is set for release May 24, 2011 and bears the authenticity of being the only anti-Palin book co-authored by a former aide of the Governor. Frank Bailey served with Governor Palin during her election campaign and victory. Aside from that, it is quite predictable: the book’s other authors are Jeanne Devon, a frequent Palin-basher and writer at the Huffington Post, and Ken Morris, a liberal economist known for his rants against Wall Street.

      The book is described by indignant Palin-haters as being one man’s journey (with emails to prove it!). Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite let us know ahead of time what exactly Jeanne Devon or Ken Morris have to do with it.

      AH…right on que….here come ENCINOMOM…the CA Leftist lone wolf…YOU guy the book here? None of us will.. PALIN’S state was the ONLY ONE to have a SURPLUS and it was in the BILLIONS from programs SHE established. SHE left to avoid the STATE (and her family/self) having to pay millions in fees to fight later-proven BOGUS charges. BUT thanks for vetting, you dope… SHE is going to be the next PRESIDENT with HERMAN CAIN as VEEP (or Pawlenty or Santorum or WEST!!) get over it.

      Scathing. You betcha. Palin is the epitome of the wrong direction for America. Real leaders dont’ run from their gubernatorial position. Real leaders don’t have prime time tv shows. Real leaders don’t have daughters who have children out of wedlock. Real leaders don’t come from towns with 5000 people. Glad the loser is finally being exposed.

      Ha ha ha – Miss leopard, it’s ironic you are saying someone is making a fast buck off the Palin brand –
      1) that is what Governor Palin and her family have constantly and consistently done
      2) you are going against Ayn Rand – this is just an honest entrepreneur with a way to make a sale

      I would slightly disagree. This guy would have tore her down worse if McCain had won, eventually. They could not let their Token Conservative become Presidential material when McCain was through if he had won. Imagine the damage she would cause them. These progressives are just hearding us cattle. That will end sooner or latter. They had just better hope that there is not a French revolution when it happens. Eventually it always backfires.

      Actually, any surplus Alaska had was do to its socialist laws, where by the citizens through the State own the oil and gas under the ground and corporation purchase a license and pay royalties for the right to drill for oil. Unlike Texas, private citzens do not have mineral rights to the oil in the ground, the oil is owned by the collective.

      I’ll tell you why he wrote the book. To make money. This is America remember? Suddenly there’s a problem with free enterprise? I‘m not hearing any complaints about the guy who wrote the book explaining why President Obama couldn’t produce a birth certificate. Wow, that book is the new definition of the teenage phrase “epic fail.”

      This guy had to write a book because the knowledge he possesses has a half-life of about six months. I haven’t read the book, but I imagine there is plenty of damning words spoken by Sarah herself, and besides that a lot of opinion, some probably true, some probably motivated be revenge.

      Who cares? Palin will never hold another elective office, but will make a fortune giving speaches. Good for her. This is, after all, America.

      I do not care if Palin cannot tell her salad fork from her spoon. I do not care if Palin does not know her wine glass from her water glass. I do not care if she fed hard rock candy to her kids to bite on and crack their teeth when they were little. The only question I have for Sarah is who her first nominee for the US Supreme Court will be.
