Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin - Strange Bedfellows

Now on the surface you may say Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin have little in common. But in the Celebrity Book Olympics they really are two peas in a pod. First lets talk about celebrity books in the year 2009. Obviously the literary world is on it's head. People are just not buying a lot of books these days and so the cash cow of a Celebrity Book is a highly sought after commodity. Now to enter a book into the CBO (Celebrity Books Olympics) one must be a celebrity. Controversy is preferred. This will give the Celeb book an hand up in the opening days of the CBO. Sexy women are preferred who can help promote the book. Professional credentials are not important in the CBO. Let's meet our new contestants.

Carie Prejean is the famous fallen pageant damsel who said marriage is for a man and a woman. After which she then began to circulate sex tapes and pose in the nude. Carrie then sued the pageant and settled. She is currently on a book tour promoting her book about freedom of speech issues for Fox News and how she overcame diversity and landed on top. Standard CBO fare.

Sarah Palin is the fallen former Governor of Alaska who lost as Veep in the 2008 election with old John McCain. After filing the airwaves for months with political invectives of hockey moms and sixpack Joe's and Joe the plumber ditties she then went back to Alaska and decided she didn't want to be Governor anymore and preferred to run for President. But first she needed a book to right the wrongs done to her in the past campaign by media elitist and McCain operatives and also to give her story of overcoming adversity and how she landed on top. Again, standard CBO fare.
