So, unless you have been living in a cave, under a rock, or have been walking around for the past couple of days with your fingers in your wears going "LALALALALALALALALALALALA, I can’t hea-r you!” You probably know that the former VP candidate, Ex-Alaskan Governor, and future recently-resigned president of the Quitters of America Club, has a book out now.

What you may not know is that, CBC recently (accidentally) aired an anti-Sarah Palin book cover during their reporting of the (non) event. How did they do that, you ask, well, as it turns out, it was fairly easy. As it turns out, both books feature very similar imagery on their respective covers. Both have a smiling Palin, and similar typescript as well as similar titles and were both released on Tuesday.

...it turns out the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.’s flagship newscast The National put the wrong Palin book cover image on air Monday night as it introduced an item for her current Going Rogue book tour.

Rather than display the cover for Going Rogue: An American Life, Palin’s memoir, National viewers saw the graphic for the anti-Palin essay collection Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, an American Nightmare, by the Nation editors Richard Kim and Betsy Reed.

You couldn’t have planned this better, or could you have...
