Wonderin’ how Sarah Palin, who ain’t much for readin’ newspapers, wrote her memoir in sixty days? Read John Cook’s profile of Lynn Vincent in Gawker. Vincent is described as a “co-writer” but what part of the book Palin “co’d” is a worthy matter for speculation.

Vincent’s viewpoint is certainly compatible with Palin’s, though. Cook reports that she “ghost wrote the memoir of Lt. Gen. William G. “Jerry” Boykin, the former head of the Army’s Special Forces Command, who literally believes that his job in the U.S. military was to defeat Satan for the Christian nation of America.”

Cook’s conclusion? “Sarah Palin’s book will be awesome because her ghostwriter has abundant experience in shaping the confused, fevered thoughts of religious fanatics into sentences.”

Sorry about the dropped g’s. It’s the Sarah Palin influence, obviously.
