Oh, I feel honored, I got an email from a very important person!
Christopher Goff, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Harper Collins wrote to me:
I act as legal counsel to HarperCollins Publishers. I have just learned that you have posted a substantial excerpt from our as yet unpublished book, Going Rogue, by Sarah Palin, on your web site. We view your posting of this excerpt as an infringement of our and Governor Palin's exclusive rights under copyright. Accordingly, we demand that you remove it from your web site.

Senior Vice President & General Counsel HarperCollins Publishers

Fax: 212 207 7552
So, in order not to be impolite to "Governor Palin", we deleted the scans of the pages we had posted.
But I have an open question for Christopher Goff:
Are you only going after anti-Palin bloggers?
"Wonkette" has posted three full pages of the book - did they receive a letter from you, too?
The "Drudge Report" has posted the content of three full pages - did they receive a letter from you, too?
On many other websites, the content of the book was discussed and extensive parts have already been published - did they all receive a letter from you, too?
By the way, Christopher: Maybe it would have been a good idea to do some basic fact-checking before publishing this "Book of Lies" which you have named "Going Rogue" - then all this trouble could have been easily avoided!
And Christopher: Can you please tell your author Sarah Palin that we are still waiting for a letter from a lawyer regarding babygate - regarding the FACT that Sarah Palin has faked her pregnancy with Trig. We have been waiting for over a year now!

UPDATE:
Wonkette told me that they have NOT received a message from Harper Collins so far. They have published five scanned pages of "Going Rogue"!
It seems that Harper Collins doesn't like it if BLOGGERS go rogue on them!
After all, Wonkette was starting to put the excerpts up before we did!
+++
UPDATE 2:
Wonkette linked to us!
Andrew Sullivan linked to us!
Look at the "Feedjit" at the right hand side! It's going crazy!
For all newcomers who visit this site now: PLEASE look at our "babygate" documentation - it is a FACT that Sarah Palin has faked her pregnancy with Trig - CLICK HERE!

UPDATE 3:
Harper Collins has also sent an email to our friend Celtic Diva, who had posted several pages of "Going Rogue" on her website, which I had provided to her.

UPDATE 4:
This is the paragraph in Sarah Palin's book which caused so much discussion in the comments and which mentions a particular event regarding her first miscarriage:
"Todd flew home to be with me, when I had the D&C. When the doctor's bill arrived in our mailbox, it came with a typo. In the box describing the procedure, someone had typed, "Abortion." Instead of starting over with a fresh form, they painted it over with a thin-layer of Wite-Out, and retyped, "Miscarriage". For some reason it just felt like salt in the wound." (p.56, "Going Rogue")
