Now she's taken some measures to control the message. Three Alaska bloggers who crossed Palin while she was governor have found themselves banned from attending her book signings. Jesse Gryphen, Dennis Zaki, and Shannyn Moore--plus an unknown fourth--are blacklisted at Palin events. Gryphen tells the story:
I turned around and came face to face with a local police officer who quickly apologized and then informed me that I was on the "banned list".Azaria Jagger of Gawker speculates authoritatively on the mysterious fourth. She singles out two Alaskan possibilities, Jeanne Devon and Linda Kellen Biegel.
"I am on the WHAT list?" I asked.
"The banned list sir, I am going to have to escort you off of the property. This is a private event." ...
Sarah Palin has done everything she could to keep the media as far away as possible during this book tour, however I do believe that this is the first time she actually had anybody listed by name. THAT honor she reserves for the Alaska bloggers. And do you know what? That is an honor that I will wear proudly!
