Don't Ms. Vowell with history, because she obviously doesn't know much.
The Reagan criticism isn't underhanded in the least; you're supposed to pick up on it. And it's the main point of Vowell's book: the Puritans meant something entirely different to Reagan, and still do to most people now, than what they meant to their contemporaries/each other...
yes Palin sold nearly 2 mil books before it was released. Do you know why? Scam! because they were pre-bought in bulk. Why? To make it look really popular. Scam! The buyers intend to hand them out for free - as inconsequential as advertisement keychains or a BurgerKing crown. The last comment does bring up a good point. Yes interview Palin, lest anyone forget she's a joke. Her own words would reconfirm. Palin was a curiosity when tapped for the VP, in pop culture she'll go the way of New Coke.
I work at a B&N and that whole pre-bought thing happens a lot. It's the reason we put 'Best Seller 30% off" stickers on which ever (ghost written) James Patterson book comes out that week as soon as we take them out of the box.

Why waste time interviewing the author of a book nobody bought or wants to buy? except that the author is a far leftist like you? You are afraid to interview Conservatives like Beck or Levin or Malkin who "each" sold millions of books this year. Interview Sarah Palin who sold nearly 2 million before the book was even released. Maddow is a wack job.
so you actually think 2 million INDIVIDUALS bought one book each? LOL. how stupid you are. palin's books were bought by ORGANIZATIONS to give to INDIVIDUALS for FREEEEE. how sad. actually maddow has interviewd plenty of neo-cons, even yesterday she interviewed rich berman. you need to check your facts.

Those people who believe that morons like Beck, Malkin and Plain actually WRITE their "books" without the aid of ghostwriters deserve what they get.

What's up with the underhanded Reagan bashing? I don't see how that has any relevance to the topic at hand: Early Colonial American Values

I like Sarah Vowell ever since I read "Take the Cannolli". She is a great author with a very dry sense of humor that really appeals to me.
