Can you believe HarperCollins gave a gun-totin’ moose eater a million smacks to divulge her life story?

The one-time Republic Vice Presidential hopeful Sarah Palin earned an astronomical $1.25 million for writing her eagerly-awaited 400-page memoir, Going Rogue: An American Life,The Associated Press confirms.

That’s more than $3,000 a page for a woman who doesn’t even read the newspaper! The memoir, scheduled for a November 17 release, is already on Amazon’s bestseller list.

Palin will make her first appearance The Oprah Winfrey Show on Nov. 16, just in time to promote her page-turner.
