Sarah Palin, often dismissed by the left as an idiot who should just go home to her snowmobiling husband and massage his feet, has again had the last laugh.

According to the AP, her book, “Going Rogue: An American Life,” sold over 700,000 copies in it’s first week on sale.  The memoir had a first printing of 1.5 million copies, but due to the strong sales an additional million will be manufactured.

Of recent political authors, only Bill Clinton has managed to do better.  His book, “My Life,” sold 900,000 copies in week one, largely due to its discussion of the infamous Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Given that they had 11 reporters fact checking Palin’s 400 page book, while only two were fact checking the 2000 page Senate health bill, we’re sure the AP is thrilled with the high sales numbers.
