After endorsing Rand Paul for U.S Senator from Kentucky (yes, he's related) Sistah Sarah had to cope with this story in today's NY Daily News:
Sarah Palin has found a down-low way to stay atop the bestsellers' chart: she's quietly using her political action committee to buy up copies of her memoir.
Thousands of copies of "Going Rogue" were snatched up last year by Sarah PAC, the former GOP vice presidential nominee's PAC, for distribution to her supporters, according to records reviewed by ABC News.
The Federal Election Commission filings show that Sarah PAC sent $63,000 to Palin's publisher, Harper Collins, for "books for fundraising donor fulfillment."
Sarah PAC spent another $8,000 on colorful bookmarks, and another $20,000 for what appears to have been the cost of sending her personal photographer and another aide along on her book tour. Those expenses are listed by the PAC as travel repayment to Harper Collins.
This may explain why she's hanging onto the $115,000 speaker's fee from the Teabaggers, eh?

RE: Rand Paul, Kentucky Senatorial Aspirant; from WaPo:
Does the [Palin] donation mean she is solidly behind his bid?
"My understanding is the check is considered to be an endorsement," Paul said in a phone interview Monday, explaining that Palin's political action committee, Sarah PAC, gave $2,000 to Paul's campaign in recent days.
Paul added that he had not spoken to Palin directly but that his aides had talked to her representatives, who conveyed her support for his campaign. Paul said those conversations would continue and that he hoped she would visit Kentucky at some point to do an event for him.
"We would love to have her," Paul said.
Don't you have a name for this kinda opportunism, a-dumb?
