they would vote for sarah palin.treme, but i think it's true. >> as for palin's memoir, what other great figures might you compare her to in predicting the heft of this new tune? >> well, i know where you're going here but it is a very hefty book. i mean, it's over 400 pages as far as i know. of course, that does include 60 pages of photographs, 45 pages of footnotes, 13 sudoku puzzles, a word search and over 200

the term rogue, of course, was first applied to palin by unnamed mccain/palin campaign insiders who inn alleged palin was, quote, going rogue, unquote. said quote, she is a diva. she take noes advice from anyone. she does not have any relationships with trust with any of us, her family or anyone else. the same source in the same article also saying, quote, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. remember, divas trust only unto themselves as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom. in the same article another mccain/palin campaign source, who was described as having direct knowledge of the process to prepare palin after she was picked as vp said, quote, her lack of fundamental understanding of some key issues was dramatic. the same source said she was the hardest to get up to speed than any candidate in history. that's the context in which sarah palin was described as rogue during the campaign. and one way to see today's announcement about her book is that, that dim, dim, dimmy mcdimmerson view of her among the people who wo

what do you get, sarah palin?e to pay her to fly across the pacific and give this speech? >> you know, i've never been very good at guessing how many jellybeans are in the jar. 20 years ago president reagan briefly scandalized washington after he left office by taking $2 million for a single speaking trip to japan. you have to figure governor palin is making someplace in the neighborhood of $250,000. there's some reports suggesting $300,000. she's not doing it for chump change, that's for sure. >> and this is -- this is her business. this is what she does now. she's going to be speaking for money. we're going to see a lot of this, right? >> apparently so. >> and she didn't ever use his name, but she did bad mouth the president on foreign soil. now, we have been led to believe that republicans just don't do that. that's a real no-no in sarah palin's america, isn't it? >> it is. she badmouthed him rather gently. but the truth is governor palin doesn't think the rules apply to her. rules are for suckers in her view.

palin also explained to the bankers the cause of the financial crisis.e they were taking notes. quote, we got into this mess because of government interference in the first place, end quote. the federal reserve was the root of the collapse. she added, the words fox and hen house come to mind. the international bankers were offered such profundities as we are not interested in government fixes, we're interested in freedom. she also brought up her death panel hallucination that she posted for free on face book. i seem to have acquired notoriety in the national debate and all because of two words, death panels and it was a serious term, it was intended to sound a warning about the rationing that is sure to follow if big government tries to increase health care coverage while also claiming to decrease costs. the views in the crowd were mixed from she was brilliant to she frightens me. and some u.s. delegates walked out of the speech in disgust. one remarking, quote, it was awful, we couldn't stand it any longer. joining us now, national editor for "vanity fa

>> well, i think, let's take sarah palin.'s been beat up pretty badly, but i'll tell you, if she went into iowa, where you've got, especially along the river and the right-to-life folks, i mean, she would lift the roof off of that convention hall in ames, iowa, at the straw poll, and she would have tremendous summit going in. it is why mike huckabee did so well out there, as peter points out, after the other fella from kansas dropped out, who had real support there. huckabee just locked that vote up, and it took him to victory in the iowa caucuses, beating romney. otherwise, romney would have been the nominee. they're very important, but if you go too far, clearly, if you're identified as solely that, you start losing some of the economic conservatives and others who really aren't that strong on the social issues. >> you know, peter, i want to go -- go ahead. >> let me make this point about that, alex, too. if you look at the delegates at the last republican convention, it was the most far right group of delegates that has ev

we have an update on sarah palin. to testify before the new york state senate aging committee. she refused. instead of testifying she submitted written testimony and said, basically, that death panels would be included. she wrote, quote, a great deal of attention was given to my use of the phrase "death panel" in discussing such rationing despite repeated attempts by many in the media to dismiss this phrase as a myth. its accuracy has been vindicated. >> all right. let me tell you exactly what she meant by these, which was in the bill and which baucus says is now out of it. if you've got, say, some cancer and it spreads, say, to the liver. in that case you get an authorized individual paid by medicare who comes to your house and gives you your options. if you are alone, one of those options, one of those resources. hold it. wait a minute. in oregon they have a death or dignity law or give them a pamphlet to visit those folks? >> listen, i'll give you this piece i'm holding in my hand. ap, no death panel in health care

the funny thing is that governor palin is not that far out of the republican mainstream. not actually sure she's out of it at all on this. there are a lot of people who insist we know government is bad. we know private sector is good. so it must have been government that caused the crisis. and the absence of any facts that actually sort of go in accord with that point of view don't seem to matter. i mean, of course, the way to think about it is we had a pretty tightly regulated banking sector from fdr up until ronald reagan. and a number of financial crises during that period, zero. then we had reagan, deregulation, savings and loan crisis. further deregulation, east asian financial crisis. and even more deregulation and, well, here we are. so, yeah, it's pretty amazing point of view for anyone to be holding but a lot of people do hold it. >> you say -- the return of depression economics is not just about how we got into this problem. >> right. >> it's also about sort of how to get out. you say this the book, even if there are some tiny green shoots of good news out there

and that is who sarah palin brought on board to help her navigate foreign policy in her first speechd. in this speech, which went on for a solid hour and a half before the question period. sarah palin argued that the economic crisis that we're in right now was caused by too much regulation of the financial world. not a typo, too much regulation. we got into this mess because of government interference in the first place. lack of government wasn't the problem. government policies were the problem. the marketplace didn't fail, it became exactly as common sense would expect it to. the government ordered the loosening of lending standards, the federal reserve kept interest rates low, the government forced lending institutions to give loans to people who couldn't afford them. that's how we got into this mess. really? so the solution presumably is less regulation for wall street going forward? i do not mean to demean the former governor but we do have an opportunity to get a second opinion on this from the man who won the nobel prize in economics. joining us now is paul krugman, his totall
