Sarah Palin's ghostwriter has graduated from writing for a handful of sycophants on Facebook to trying his/her luck with the WSJ.

Interesting. It seems to me that somebody is putting a hell of a lot of effort into creating a brand new reality where Sarah Palin is not a fumbling grammar challenged buffoon, but rather a competent policy wonk that is capable of challenging President Obama on his health care reform ideas.

Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have followed that white rabbit over to this page.

How do I know that Sarah did not write this you ask? Well for one thing it actually makes sense. It is smart, well crafted, and grammatically correct. In other words Sarah Palin had little or nothing to do with it.

Need more proof? Well then read this portion:

Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy. And common sense tells us to be skeptical when President Obama promises that the Democrats' proposals "will provide more stability and security to every American."

Did you catch that? The writer mentions "common sense". "Common sense" can you believe it?

You mean like the "common sense" one shows by flying 4000 miles while leaking amniotic fluid all over the damn plane before having a special needs baby in an ill equipped hospital near Palmer? Or, worse yet, lying about doing such a thing?

Or the "common sense" it shows to have your lawyer send a threatening letter to bloggers every time one of them suggests something negative about you? And then NEVER following through?

Or the "common sense" it demonstrates to pluck a young man from the middle of "dumb fuck" Alaska, dress him up like a Ken doll, parade him around and call him a member of your family, before throwing him out on his ass, and then not expecting him to talk about what he saw?

Or perhaps we are talking about the "common sense" on display when Palin suddenly declared that after two and a half years she was all done being the Governor of "nobody gives a shit" Alaska, but would still like to be considered for the job of Chief Executive of the most powerful nation on the planet?

Is that the kind of "common sense" this ghostwriter is referring to? Because if they are, then not only did Palin have NOTHING to do with this article, I seriously doubt the writer has ever even MET her.

No Sarah Palin most assuredly DID NOT write this. And you can take THAT to the bank.

And by the way the Wall Street Journal should be charged with journalistic malpractice for letting this article to be attributed to a woman who could not successfully write a grocery list without having it proofread first.

    Palin's WSJ ghostwriter piece is riddled with punctuation errors. But, it is grammatically correct, and I couldn’t find any misspelled words.

    I agree...no way in hell she wrote that piece. You can actually comprehend what the writer is saying. I just signed up as a fan of hers on Facebook (it pained me greatly to hit that button) just so I could banter with her worshippers.

    I have to get back on there and remove myself as a fan and go take a shower...I feel dirty! lol

    There is some more absolutely unbelievable reading in store about Sarah Palin. Someone at Palingates has posted some of the rules and regulations regarding the Dinner With Sara Auction. You will not believe her majesty's requirements-- everything except the winner does not have to bow deeply, and exit the room facing the queen. (One does not turn their back on royalty). Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the comments or go to the Ebay thing.

    Actually, there are stylistic inconsistencies all the way through the piece--embarrassingly so. I don't want to say what they are, in case someone might attempt to correct them. Suffice to say that Palin can't even consistently punctuate the main meme of the Op Ed.

    Also, who would make "Common sense" the subject of sentences, and as a refrain no less? What rhetorical flourish!

    The personification of "common sense" as a subject is something perhaps an 8th grader would do. She really needs to work with a better speechwriter FAST. Is Willow writing these for her?

    The seller on eBay for the Sarah Palin dinner has no (zero) eBay feedback. Everyone who regularly buys and sells on eBay knows that if someone has zero or negative feedback, you simply don’t do business with them.

    WARNING: this may not be the real Sarah Palin. You could end up having dinner with Todd dressed up as Sarah. Be forewarned!

  7. Alaskans, has anyone seen Palin?

    The length of her absence is suspicious. Remember, a narcissist needs a constant supply of attention, etc. Her disappearance prevents her from getting her supply. So, I'm beginning to believe that her absence is not voluntary but is something beyond her control, such as a medical/mental health reason.

    I hope that she is okay.

  11. Someone at Palindeceptions pointed out that the WSJ is owned by Murdoch and so it was more than likely that he had someone clean up and/or write this piece for Sarah.

    That does make sense considering it's a pretty good guess that she is being re-branded by him in order to make him some cash.

    This is a clever ruse to fool people into thinking that she isn't the incompetent fool we all know her to be. It will work until she has to give a speech that isn't already pre-written for her, or has to speak off the cuff, or answer questions in any in depth kind of way, as that will simply show she isn't capable of doing anything on her own.

    The problem is that people have short memories so it is up to all of us to remain not only vigilant, but to remind everyone out there just exactly who and what she truly is.

    I am not willing to take the chance that she can convince people that she deserves another chance on the national stage simply because she has a decent speech writer.

    I went to the official website for Ride2Recovery, the charity that benefits from the Dinner with Sarah auction. No mention of it at all on the official website, just rides to raise money.

    When I scrolled farther down Google's list, near the bottom of the first page I saw the link to the Pee-Sea. Yes, it is posted there. In addition to winning a dinner, here are some other great prizes up for aution:

    •Dinner with Sarah Palin
    •Lunch with Karl Rove
    •CSI NY set experience and wrap party with Gary Sinise
    •Behind the Ropes at a PGA event with David Farehty
    •Lunch at the Capitol with Frank Luntz
    •Meet and Greet at the Sean Hannity Show with Sean Hannity and Frank Luntz
    •Meet, Greet and Dinner with Fox Special Report with Bret Baier and Steve Hayes
    •Play’N'Stay at the World Golf Resort
    •Phil Jackson Autographed Basketball
    •Rob Lowe Autographed Dodger Jersey from the recent Hollywood Stars game

    Reads like a Conservatives Dream Come True!

    LisanTX: It is unlike Sarah to be absent and silent. Levi's article was blistering, and for the first time, there was no threat or insult. In Alaska, I think that she still could pull together a press conference to announce her Health Care Reform Plan. That would be if she wrote it and could answer questions about it.

    So, I ask the question, where do we think Sarah is? Writing her book? Dictating the book to the ghost writer? Rehab, plastic surgery, detox??? We know for sure that she is not working on health care; that's Rupert's newspaper and one of Rupert's writers.

    anon 8:36. The only way that we can close down the WSJ is if we were the principle share holders. We are not, and Rupert Murdoch is. And, Rupert may have paid Sarah for the use of her name. After all, he is going to publish her $10.million dollar book; he is entitled to something out of the deal. So, this falls under the category of book promotion, as a post points out, to make her look smart enough to write a book.

    It is strange that on Face Book, it was signed Governor Sarah Palin. After the criticism on Keith's show (thanks, Shannyn) WSJ just gave her the byline Sarah Palin, just like a real journalist. If only those journalism teachers could see her now-- published in the WSJ.

    Follow the money.

    The Wall Street Journal is owned by Rupert Murdoch, as is, of course, Fox News. Murdoch and the Fox Network has made their fortunes by catering to the lowest common denominator, and currently is fomenting hatred in those with hate in their heart, all for some uncertain agenda. Ratings? Proof of Rupert's power?

    Any reputable newspaper would not believe Sarah Palin wrote the article in the Wall Street Journal and would refuse to print it with her byline.

    If Sarah Palin were actually interested in participating in a dialogue about health care, she would enthusiastically present herself to the media, answering questions and using her "depth of knowledge" about health care issues to help influence others and convince others that hers is the right way.

    But she won't.

    Because it's all a lie and Sarah Palin knows nothing about health care. She doesn't even know how dangerous flying 11 hours with an undiagnosed comlication of pregnancy is. Or, even worse, she does, and doesn't care.

    It is all a lie.

When will our real revolution come? This is coming out the day before President Obamas speech on purpose! I hate these people/they are ruining our country so that in their short time on this planet, they can make and keep as much wealth as possible.

    Liberals write articles, blog and complain (no offense to anyone) but we are nit active enough, tough enough, mean enough to stop these selfish and greedy people.

    By the was, is Murdoch an American citizen? I did not know. What a hollow shell of a man-ugly on the outside and on the inside. Really ugly. And Sarah Palin is a bitch, plain and simple. This is FRAUD for a newspaper to publish that.
    Let's demand for her to come out and talk about the issues if she is so bright! That woman has no common sense! I am angry. Furious at this twisted, evil and manipulative stuff they are doing to stop health care reform.
    They are greedy capitalist pigs! Capitalism is great but not at the expense of others. These people must be stopped. It isn't funny and they are dividing and ruining our country.

    THis is an excert from the Atlantic article written about Palins WSJ piece.

    I disagree with the Atlantic author because he is making the mistake of giving Palin validity. He questions that she has a ghost writer writing the WSJ article, compares it to Obama's speech writer but STILL misses the point.

    WE "SEE" OBAMA AND WE HEAR HIM TALK EXTEMPORANEOUSLY (SP?) AND WE KNOW HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT EVEN DISPITE THE GHOST WRITER'S PUTTING THE SPEECH TOGETHER.

    BUT

    WE CANNOT "SEE" PALIN --not lately anyway-- and while the Atlantic author correctly states, Palin is a long way from her ghost writer's competence,author STILL does not recognize that Palin is NOT any better talking about "energy" or "state government" etc.

    PALIN IS AN IMPOSTER AND KNOWS SO LITTLE ABOUT ALL AND ANY POLITICAL ISSUES THAT SHE CANNOT, DARE NOT, APPEAR IN PUBLIC SO SHE CAN BE QUESTIONED. SHE CANNOT SPEAK TO ANY ISSUE UNLESS SHE HAS MEMORIZED SOMEONE ELSE'S WORDS.

    Couric proved this and trust me, Palin has not and will not because she cannot "improve" no matter how much Murdock or anyone else tries to put her through political "finishing school."

    McCain's campaign people ended up calling her a wack job and could not polish her up. No one can. PALIN IS A NARCISSIST, AN EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY UNSTABLE PERSON AND NOTHING IS GOING TO MAKE HER READY FOR ONE ON ONE INTERVIEWS EVER AGAIN.

    People fall for her "con" because people love to believe and follow those they perceive have confidence. Narcissit have confidence due to their delusional view of reality. When the shit hits the fan, like it is now for Palin, THEY AVOID ANY AND ALL SITUATIONS THAT THREATEN THEIR REALITY BUBBLE.

    Palin's reality bubble is hitting criticle mass with all she has on her plate--I will not list them all, but Todd wants a divorce, Levi is spilling the beans, the "whose yor mamma" thing is getting publicity, there is the Alaska Trust Fund legal problems and on and one.

    Palin is not lying low. Palin is hiding out. Palin is hitting her first "criticle mass" episode and they are trying to keep her head above water in case she can mentally survive this first (there will be more) breakdowns.

    Sooner or later she has to speak in public and that will show any remaining doubters, that she is NOT capable of discoursing on these issues --that in fact someone is not just "ghost"writing for her, but rather "ghost-thinking" for her.

    To say that Palin has turned into a puppet with someone else's words coming out of her mouth is not a joke, not a facetious comment. It is what she is becoming and like with the McCain, she will get tired of being told to sit down and shut up.

    She will recover enough to try and speak in public and then her second "breakdown" will follow as she fails worse than she did with Couric.

    "By implying, incidentally, that Palin gets help from a speechwriter, I mean to make an observation. Barack Obama didn't draft his op-ed, either. But, reading Obama, it's not a leap to believe that the ideas are truly his. Palin has no chops and no experience talking about health care and isn't participating in this debate; the content of her op-ed piece isn't original, and the points are points that Republicans make every day.

    This is the reality. Palin has policy credibility problems. Big ones. A few op-eds aren't going to help her. But if the media treats her as as a legitimate and influential voice today, she won't need to do the hard work that will result in her learning more about policy and actually becoming conversant in the issues that she, as a potential presidential candidate, will deal with.

    If Palin were writing about oil and energy, about her experience in state government on health care, if she were making a new argument -- then my umpiric objections would vanish."

  29. Of course she did not write it and she did not read Dr. Emanuels work to get her quotes from his published papers either. I have been reading his material for hours. In one paragraph alone I had to look up several definitions of philosophy terminology or concepts just to understand it. Not only is it difficult to understand because he uses academicly specialized terminology and concepts it is exhauting to read. She Who Quits would have gotten tired and quit to watch TV.

    I also asked that if her letter went into testimony for healthcare reform, I wanted the fact that she, as Gov. proclaimed a Health Care Decision Day, just last year. That as Gov. she is now protesting what she had preached last year.

    and grade level 7
    All her speeches are consistent with this.
    Its also interesting to note RAM scores are on pare with the quitter@readability 58 grade 7... so its not her either. Its someone else!
    The MSM or anyone cannot possibily take her seriously? She is absolutely NOT WRITING these pieces! Its just another Palin Fraud!!!!!

  47. I find it oddly amusing at the Sarah worshipers claiming she has "rocked" President Obama, over and over.

    Don't you find it weird that she wasn't able to do this when it mattered? Like during the presidential campaign? If she is so able to take the rug out from under his feet, why didn't she do it when it would have made a difference? Perhaps because she was (and is) really unable to make any kind of a difference? Or is it that she needs to hide out and get someone who is qualified to use a dictionary to write for her while she pretends that it is her in order for anyone (like her fans) to take her seriously?

    Sarah Palin is a fake. A Con artist of the worst kind, and it is fun to watch her fans raise her up on some kind of pedestal with all the world watching because when she is forced to speak on her own, and she will be forced to do that someday, it will all come crashing down because like she has already proven, she doesn't have a grasp of the English language, she isn't capable of understanding complex issues, and she is even less able to discuss them. She was unable to answer even the most simplistic and basic questions without sounding like an idiot, but somehow she is supposedly going to now come out and be able to discuss complex policy? Sorry, we all know that will not happen. At least not before Hell Freezes Over.

    It will be fun to watch her come crashing to earth with a resounding THUD! when it happens.

    You thought the crash and burn during the campaign was bad......this will be even more spectacular to watch!

    Hi everyone,

    I just canceled my WSJ subscription over this nonsense and am switching to the Financial Times--similar content without the ideological bias, and a much better price to boot.

    Of course most public figures have drafting and editing assistance, but I don't mind that when the words and ideas are authentic to the named writer. It's the dissonance between the words and the known, established ability (or lack thereof) of the writer that in my opinion calls into question or outright destroys confidence in the overall integrity of the publishing vehicle.

    The call center agent asked why I was canceling, but did not seem surprised when I said that they were on thin ice with me after the cankles article a few months back, and Palin-as-Policy-Wonk pushed me over the edge.
