Sarah Palin's ghost... yawn

EXCLUSIVE: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has chosen a collaborator for her memoirs from among more than 30 applicants, including top names in the field. Palin, in consultation with superlawyer Robert Barnett, picked Lynn Vincent, the Christian conservative WORLD magazine’s features editor, and a bestselling nonfiction co-author from San Diego. Vincent will go to Alaska for long stretches to work on the book, including taping interviews with Palin, who has already written 20,000 words on her own. Vincent was the collaborator on “Same Kind of Different As Me,” which last week was on the NYT paperback nonfiction list for the 30th week. Her books have also attracted Hollywood interest.

20,000 words on her own! Hollywood interest! Christian conservative!

It looks like Lynn Vincent only collaborates, she doesn't write her own books. Her contributions to the World magazine website are similar to Sarah Palin's when on twit mode.

Yawn...

The 20,000 words and the Hollywood bit are interesting, though.

I can see a HUGE salad with 20,000 words and we could run a competition for the title of the movie!

  1. The ghost is a best selling NON-fiction writer? This book should be a challenge in more ways than one 'cause it's going to be nothing BUT fiction. SP makes me ill! It's difficult to believe that anyone at all takes her seriously. However unfortunate, there are some that do and so she continues to haunt our world. I'm SO ready for her to go away!

  2. Between Sarah's pregnancy journal and this book, maybe we can look forward to a definetive time line regarding sarah's learning she was pregnant, the amnio and downs diagnosis, resolving any other condlicting information.

    Well, they aren't pretending Palin's book will be any thing but divisive politics.
