I think this is from a few days ago, admittedly, but this is a good example of where the funnies do not have a use-by-date. Sarah Palin’s resignation letter is above, in part, after being picked over and left for dead by the proofers at Vanity Fair magazine. The former Alaska Governor, Palin, made a hasty exit and it seemed she was in such a rush to get out of the door, she did not have time to proofread or fact check her own speech.
The people at Vanity Fair magazine apparently took offense over Palin’s poorly crafted resignation letter and decided to give it a once over by sending it to their editing department. The thing about editing is that there’s copy editing and fact checkers and they sent the letter to both. The facts are dealt with in green ink and the massive grammar errors are in red ink. As a writer, I understand that periodically a typo or spelling error can occur, but it’s pretty much appalling how much editing is done. There are so many green notes that I’m guessing at some point she might as well have made up what happened, or at least gotten creative and talked about the magical elves that steal her panties, which have forced her to resign. She’s either the dumbest person on Earth or the people at Vanity Fair hate her. I’m guessing it’s a little bit of both. (via F Listed)

HILARIOUS.
However, most of her supporters are even less literate and cogent than she is, so it’s not going to win over any new detractors. If anything, they’re braying about how evil those socialist, babykilling elitists are.
It’s odd that out of 11 pages, not one was mistake free. Sarah Palin pisses in the face of the law of averages once again.
And she poos all over the English language!
And I thought you were going to leave the whole resignation nonsense to us across the pond, lol!
I have wanted to respond to about ten of your posts , but am embroiled in an on-line issue about……..SARAH PALIN!!
I have the flu right now and have not been able to respond to the back and forth, but yes, is this editing of her resignation speech not a total GAS???
Golly gee, even Todd Palin had to fly 300 miles to be by her side as she spoke it. Has anyone seen it live?
Oh, and just for fun, compare this speech, that she wrote, to the Op-ed in the Washington Post that Palin wrote…..does it seem like the same writer to you?
You would do well to buy stock in Advil before you watch/listen/read……

I don’t usually delve into politics, as I am not as well-versed there as I am in other areas. I tend to stick to what I know, so I don’t appear as ignorant as Sarah Palin does when she tries to write an error-free paragraph. I knew you’d like this post though. I was thinking about you the other day, and how it’d been a while since I’d lured you over here.
As I mention above, I nearly didn’t post this as it was about a week old, when I found it on another site. But it was still hilarious. I didn’t see it live, but it’s appauling that even the initial welcome and colloquialisms are written in. What the heck. Can she not say “Gee, it’s nice to see you [audience]“, without it being scripted. Sigh.
P.S Get well soon. xoxo
Oh honey – I have been lured, just unable to respond.
Your post on the trailer of SawVl? The director, Kevin Greutert, id a dear friend of mine, we met on a Disney movie years ago, the same movie on which I met Tomas – I have wanted to write about that on the post, but the days went by……
I will go over to it and elaborate, as I wrote a post when I found out he was directing it (he edited all the other ones and this is his big move up the ladder), but he has a blog that tells the whole story of all of the “Saws”, along with pictures – for those freaky “Saw” fans out there.
If you will allow me to put a link to my post about Kevin, and our history, that would be great. If not, no big deal. It will just save me from writing a tome…..
… what a delightful tale to tell. I’d love to hear it. Please do go over and elaborate.
By default, adding a link will put the comment into moderation. But don’t worry, of course I will approve it promptly for you
This is hysterical.
She doesn’t even know under which president’s administration the Territory of Alaska was acquired from the Russians.
It’s a horror. I bet this didn’t go in front of even one person. I’ve never been allowed, in any job, to publish or write something without it being proofed and checked. This is a fail of epic proportions.
