Former Sarah Palin aide pens tell-all book

The long-anticipated memoir of aide’s time with Palin during her governorship of Alaska and race for the White House.

WHEN A BOOK is called Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin, you can guess it’s not a happy story.

An imprint of Simon & Schuster announced Monday that it had signed up Blind Allegiance, a long-rumoured tell-all by former Palin aide Frank Bailey.

The imprint, Howard Books, will release Bailey’s book on 24 May. Excerpts from an early draft were leaked to reporters earlier this year.

Bailey worked with Palin while she was governor of Alaska and when she was John McCain’s running mate on the Republican presidential ticket in 2008.

Howard Books is calling Blind Allegiance a “chilling expose.” Author Ken Morris and Alaska political blogger Jeanne Devon helped write the book.

    Yeah, not a knife Vs fist fight. Just a fist fight. The kinda thing you did as a kid. I haven’t heard anyone say that word in about 15 years.

    It originated in Liverpool and means a face to face meeting between individuals or groups with an issue between them. It might be “straightened out” with a civilised chat or it might escalate to a punch up or weapons or a shooting match.

    Eight years for intentionally bringing a knife out to do serious harm. That is an absolute joke.
