(AP)  A California publicist and two co-authors have terminated a book deal with a former aide of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

San Diego-based Releve Marketing and PR announced Tuesday it will no longer represent or co-author Frank Bailey's upcoming book "Renegade: Sarah Palin's Hatchet Man."

Christiana Grace, company co-owner and one of the co-authors, says she can't elaborate on the reasons for the termination. But she adds it was not a falling out with Bailey, her close friend since college.

Bailey could not be reached for comment.

Bailey was embroiled in Troopergate, the investigation of Palin's firing of her police commissioner over allegations he wouldn't fire a trooper who went through a contentious divorce from Palin's sister.

Palin's memoir, "Going Rogue" will be published Nov. 17.

What's in a word? SELECTED by Palin herself - Does that speak to her true character? Out of the fullness of our hearts comes our true nature. She's still frightening, becoming more frightening as a leader - I'm a Republican cornered into voting Democrat & would again!

ROGUE: an elephant (curious RE her political party!) that wanders from the herd that is fierce and wild, cheat, dishonest, unprincipled, deceitful, unreliable, scamp, vagrant, solitary, unpredictable, rascal, scoundrel, unscrupulous, tramp, fraudulent

Freedom of the press? Oh yes sure, What press?.. Pornography? What the heck we see in TV, schools and entertainment sections? What about those school cheerleaders,little princess, miss perfect and role models? Talking Barbies in TV? Mainly screaming money making by educated pimps and wh*** are just spited in the face of our youth, the drugs business good returns, the dirty language causing laughs, and millions of TV advertising based in porno? Is not puritanism to fight that. Common decency is just absent from the American life. Anita Bryan was full of prunes in her time, now is as pass as a cigarette lighter. The media moguls are just a bunch of perverts. MTV and all the rating chasers are just as disgusting as the average piping-tom. Be ready, ignorant and beautiful not too shamed women are in their way to Congress. Why not the presidency?

Something smells fishy here. Did Sarah have this book deal squashed? Maybe her pals in the GOP thought a tell all book by an insider would hurt her chances of running for President in 2012. I have news for you she is a train wreck and if you haven't realized that she took down the GOP in the last election you are from another planet. She will never be the President of the USA. She is a conniving, big mouth who does not live the by the conservative standards she preaches. Everything with her personal life is about money and personal gain. Take a good look America don't let this "devil in a red dress" fool you.

Sarah Palin came to the defense recently for Carrie Prejean. Now, it turns out that Carrie Prejean filmed herself having sex with herself on camera at the age of 17. This is child pornography. Therefore, whether she knew it or not, Sarah Palin recently came to the defense of a child pornographer.
Sarah Palin pals around with child pornographers.
