The ups (but mostly downs) of trying to make Sarah sound smart
Sarah graduates from the Wasila hills to the Wall Street Journal.
In a Huffpo piece, Geoffrey Dunn explores the challenges faced by Sarah Palin’s ghost writers, and concludes that she is becoming the Milli Vanilli of American politics. Dunn’s challenge to Team Sarah:
Before Palin’s overpriced attorney, Tommy Van Flein sends out another spurious legal threat, I’m going to issue a challenge to him: Put your client in a locked room, give her an hour to write an op-ed piece, and let’s examine the words she puts to the computer screen. It’s what all of us in this business do every day. Those of us with real intellectual integrity. Those of us who claim our own thoughts and express our own views. Those of us who don’t employ ghostwriters to fudge our bylines. We write our own words.
And wouldn’t you love to try THAT word salad?

You hit the nail on the head with your article, exactly what I thought when I read her piece in the Wall Street Hournal………there’s no way she wrote that piece.
Amen, and thanks!
