"One minute, Palin would be her perky self; the next she would fall into a strange blue funk," the authors write.
The morning of her ill-fated CBS interview with Katie Couric, Palin - "her eyes glassy and dead" - was unresponsive to attempts to prep her as she was being made up.
"As they were about to set off to meet Couric, Palin announced 'I hate this makeup' - smearing it off her face, messing up her hair, complaining she looked fat," the book relates.
Palin went on to give answers to Couric that were so incoherent the interview permanently damaged her.
Palin went into a tailspin. She stopped eating or sleeping, and drank only a half a can of diet soda a day, recounts the book written by John Heilemann of New York magazine and Mark Halperin of Time magazine.
"When her aides tried to quiz her she would routinely shut down - chin on her chest, arms folded, eyes cast to the floor, speechless and motionless, lost in what those around her described as a kind of catatonic stupor," the book says.
"If I had known everything I know now, I would not have done this," the book quotes Palin as saying.
I believe that it is beyond doubt that Sarah Palin suffers from severe mental instability. This book simply reinforces the information that we have seen reported in other news outlets, and information that I have been digging up lately as well. She is somebody who appears on the surface to be charismatic and competent, but who underneath is tragically damaged and fragile.
Perhaps one of the saddest aspects of her story is that there were "hangers on" willing to reinforce her Narcissistic Personality Disorder in order to reap financial benefits from the attention directed at her.
I put Harper Collins into that category as well as the C4P idiots, SarahPAC, the Republican party, her so-called friends Kris Perry, Ivy Frye, Kristan Cole, Todd Palin himself, and the ever disappointing Meg Stapleton. Just get a load of THIS recent statement from Meg about the book.
"The governor's descriptions of these events are found in her book, 'Going Rogue.' Her descriptions are accurate," Stapleton said in a statement Sunday night to60 Minutes." "She was there. These reporters were not."
She KNOWS that is not true, yet she is perfectly satisfied to tell her lies, collect her check, and go home to her family without seemingly a shred of concern about this pathetic woman.
They know that if Sarah Palin received the psychiatric attention that she clearly needs their gravy train would come to a screeching halt. Sarah is surrounded by self serving enablers who really only see her as a vehicle to help them get access to more money and more influence.
