... I read with some interest the new Todd Purdum piece on Sarah Palin from Vanity Fair. Can't say it changed any of my thinking about her. But it did make me think of some other recent reading: "Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus," a book by ...

Sarah Palin resigns as Alaska governor: Is a talk show far behind? Just when the recent Sarah Palin media circus -- her feud with David Letterman ; her spandex-happy photo spread in Runner's World ; the recent damning Vanity Fair profile of her -- couldn't get any weirder, the former GOP vice-presidential candidate just announced she will resign the governorship of Alaska at the end of the month , two-and-a-half years into her first term. Even the transfer of power to Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell won't stop Palin's special brand of surreality: He'll be sworn in at a picnic in Fairbanks on July 25. The blogosphere is already oscillating between ...

Gothamist —
... , "Leaving office at the end of the month, [Palin] will be able to travel the country more freely without facing the sort of repeated ethics inquiries she’s been fending off since returning to Alaska earlier this year." Vanity Fair's scathing profile of Palin offered this post-2008 election observation, "The conventional wisdom among Palin’s supporters in the Republican establishment was that she should go home, keep her head down, show that she could govern effectively, and quietly educate herself about foreign and domestic policy with the help of a cadre of ...
Adele Stan: Sarah Palin Will Be Back
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog —
... Couric interviews became the stuff of legend. Yet with all hectoring she took for her not-ready-for-prime-time performances during the campaign, her confidence never seemed to flag. But today brought us a different picture: Her voice quavering, Palin seemed unsure of herself as she sought to explain without explaining her reasons for stepping down before the end of her first term as governor.
Granted, Sarah Palin has had a very tough week, what with Todd Purdum's takedown in Vanity Fair, and the release of a testy e-mail exchange between the ...

Sarah Palin may be flunking her biggest test for higher office: Mastering the media
The Feed —
... She blamed the media for picking on her -- and there's little doubt she's faced a few cheap shots. But she's also faced some serious reporting unmasking substantial problems in her candidacy for vice president, which she hasn't really addressed (to say nothing of calling a major press conference at the last minute on a 4th of July weekend, then barring reporters who showed up late). ...

Huffington Post Entertainment Blog —
... Sarah Palin suffers from "narcissistic personality disorder," testifies Todd Purdum in the latest Palintology obsession in this month's Vanity Fair.

Calling Sarah Palin A “Narcissist” Isn’t The Most Original Insult In The Book
The Frisky —
Between her double-digit ethics complaints , her unpredictable behavior , and actually, her behavior in general, we’re not the biggest Sarah Palin fans around. But this week’s New York magazine really made us think about how gleeful we’d felt when we read in Vanity Fair that some people believe her to be a clinical narcissist. Several members of the McCain campaign, independent of each other, told a reporter they had researched the clinical definition for “narcissistic personality disorder” after clocking in some hours with Mrs. P. Ah-ha! , ...
James Warren: This Week in Magazines: Vanity Fair Tries to Figure Out Symbols of the New Sophistication
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog —
... ---August Vanity Fair caused a modest ripple with Todd Purdum's "It Came From Wasilla," an examination of Sarah Palin's vice presidential campaign odyssey rife with too many spineless Republicans not willing

McCain. But that piece was just part of an excellent issue, including
a melancholy take on actor Heath Ledger's life and last movie; Michael
Lewis' excellent profile of one Joe Cassano, key figure in the A.I.G.
debacle from his perch in the firm's London office; Michael Wolff on
