Palin: 'A lot of us... smell like salmon'
by Mark Silva
Sarah Palin is a celebrity.
And people are standing in lines to sign her book.
Only dead fish go with the flow, the Alaskan has said, explaining her surprise resignation as governor -- and some Trump perfume can go a long way in masking the odor.
Palin, too, has stood in line for celebs in her time.
"Twice,'' the former GOP vice presidential nominee tells Greta Van Susteren, in an interview airing in two parts on FOX's On the Record -- Monday night and tonight.
"Once with Herschel Walker,'' Palin says. "He came up to Alaska years ago to sign posters in a sporting goods stores. I drove through a snow storm to go see him."
"The other one was Ivana Trump,'' she explains. "She was at J.C. Penney in Anchorage, Alaska years ago selling a perfume.
"I happened to be in the store, stood in line, had her sign whatever she was signing and then turned around and there was a reporter asking me, why are you standing in line to see her? And I said, 'Because up here in Alaska, well, one, we -- a lot of us, you know, we smell like salmon' -- we'd just got off the salmon season -- salmon year round.
"Having someone like this in our presence, oh, gosh, we're just so honored, we're so flattered. And she (was) selling good perfume."
Of the three-week book-signing tour upon which she has embarked, Palin says she is "not tired yet. Nope. Having a ball...
"I haven't even asked the guys yet how many we've signed,'' says the author of Going Rogue, wth 1.5 million copies in the first printing. "We're just -- we're going. It's like running a marathon. You know, you're -- you're taking one step at a time and really enjoying every minute of it and knowing that at the end of the day, we'll have accomplished something good."
Palin also reflects on her brief experience in public service:
"The public service, the administrative tasks, I love it,'' says Palin, who resigned midway through her first term as governor last summer. "That's why I loved my job as governor. I loved my job as a city manager, a strong mayor. I loved those -- those positions of -- of affecting change, of helping people...
"And I love that.... Some of the crap that goes on on the periphery, it has a lot to do with the media making things rough and -- and trying to create a caricature. That's just not that much fun."
Health Care Overhaul: 'One More Night It Didn't Die'
The bill remains a patient in precarious condition, beset by all manner of ailments and infections. But it also remains alive, and at this point you could argue that whatever doesn't kill it outright makes it stronger.
