I have never laughed at a "news" headline harder in my entire life:
"Palin finishes 400 page memoir early"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ha, ha. Guess it doesn't take that long with a staff of pro writers helping, errr..., doing it for you.

Add to that, writing one's life history is an easy task if punctuation, grammar, syntax and the truth don't really matter that much.

15. This was the perfect job for them, too. All they had to do was fling their feces at paper
and see what stuck.

23. Sarah Palin = a 400 page memoir????
:wtf:

Bill Clinton's memoir is 1008 pages and he was POTUS for eight years. And in those eight years his list of accomplishments is extraordinary: http://www.perkel.com/politics/clinton/accomp.htm

Will sobebody please tell me what in the name of God and everything else in this universe did this low-class, ignorant beeyotch from the drug capital of Alaska ever do to fill 400 pages???


:shrug:

27. It's so obvious when she writes her own stuff.
It's disjointed, unfocused, and full of words and phrases that don't actually make sense. For example, she likes to talk about "progressing" Alaska.

We'll be seeing her " book" on the shelves of our local dollar store sometime in the very near future. On another note, I thought it was peculiar that they compared the amount of copies to be initially printed to Ted Kennedy's memoir- I guess to create some kind of equivalency?
:wtf:
Stupid corporate media.
