'Going Rouge' The Sarah Palin Coloring Book
Source: Washington Post

In fact, the two spoof books share the same title. "Going Rouge: Sarah Palin - An American Nightmare" features essays by writers for The Nation, a liberal magazine. The other is "Going Rouge -- The Sarah Palin Rogue Coloring and Activity Book" by husband and wife team Julie Sigwart and Michael Stinson. "That other book just has a bunch of words," joked Stinson of The Nation's book. "We got pictures!"

But coloring pictures is only half of it. There are mazes such as "Help Sarah find her way to the White House" (hint: it's impossible) and a cut-out paper doll page titled "Dress Sarah for Success!" (wardrobe options include an Alaskan wolf pelt skirt). There's also a word search with this theme: "Sarah wins nomination for Pres! Who will she pick for her Veep?" Names to be found include Rush Limbaugh, Joe the Plummer, and Hairstylist.

Echoing Palin's "drill, baby, drill" statement from her vice presidential debate, he said the goal of the coloring book is to have it "sell, baby, sell!" He called the response to date "phenomenal," especially among bookstores in Alaska.

"We decided to do something playful and spontaneous," said Stinson, who used to collect every issue of Mad Magazine. "We also figured a coloring book was the perfect vehicle in which to lampoon her."

Just so folks know this is a book by Two DU'rs - Symbolman & Demobabe (husband wife team) - so far we've been splashed in The Guardian, We're on the shelves right now in Entertainment Weekly (Hollywood Insider Section), as well as their website - TodayShow.com (MSNBC)featured us, and many other sites as well as radio.

But the WaPo HAD to mention my brush with Cannibalism :)

I do want to give several as freeper gifts, but I want to add this to my political memorabilia collection! Having a few signed copies would be so very precious.

13. Absolutely!
If you order them direct from us on the http://www.goingrouge.net site, there is a place to add a note in the Paypal transaction screen. Just ask to sign them or if you want us to personalize it to someone, we'll do that, too. Just tell us what you want.

I hope it brings you more than your wildest dreams. I think things like this are far more important than they seem on the surface.
