The Associated Press interviews Frank Bailey.

From the AP:

A former member of Sarah Palin's inner circle has written a scathing tell-all, saying Palin was ready to quit as governor months before she actually resigned and was eager to leave office when more lucrative opportunities came around.

"In 2009 I had the sense if she made it to the White House and I had stayed silent, I could never forgive myself," Frank Bailey told The Associated Press.

Palin's attorney did not respond to multiple requests for comment for this story.

"Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin: A Memoir of Our Tumultuous Years" is due out Tuesday and based on tens of thousands of emails that Bailey said he kept during his time with Palin. It began with working on her 2006 gubernatorial campaign and continued through her failed run for vice president in 2008 and her brief stint as governor.

The Alaska attorney general's office has said it's investigating Bailey's use of the emails. Executive ethics laws bar former public officials from using information acquired during their work for personal gain if the information hasn't been publicly disseminated.

The state has yet to release thousands of emails that Palin sent and received during her 2 ½ years as governor. Bailey's attorney has said Bailey took "great care" to ensure his writings were consistent with legal requirements.

Billed as the first Palin book by a former aide, "Blind Allegiance" bolsters the perception of Palin as self-serving, while casting Bailey as her enforcer — willing to do the dirty work, no questions asked.

The interesting thing about this book is that Bailey does NOT attempt to sugarcoat his blind obedience to Sarah Palin, nor his often unethical behavior on her behalf.  In fact Bailey uses his very real, and personal religious convictions to guide him through some very painful confessions, and seems more concerned with receiving forgiveness from his God then worrying about how Sarah Palin or the public judge him based on the information that he reveals.

I can certainly attest that Frank earned his nickname "The Enforcer" as I had my own run in with him back in 2009.  However since that time, from everything that I have heard, Frank has been trying to turn his life around and make amends for the part he played in further the Grizzled Mama's political career.

Which is why I have "Blind Allegiance to Sarah Palin" pre-ordered on my Nook, and set to arrive tomorrow. And when it does I am going to dive right in and devour every morsel of what I know to be a fascinating story of what happens behind the scenes in the world of Sarah Palin, as told from a self identified "Palin-bot."

How could this NOT be good?

(And of course since I have already read the leaked manuscript, I am more than a little confident that this book is worth the purchase price.)
