Palin’s Resignation: The Edited Version

[Steve]

Regardless of what you think of Sara Palin's politics, you probably agree that she could use a good editor. Vanity Fair does.

 

From the article:

 

"If you watched Sarah Palin’s resignation speech, you know one thing: her high-priced speechwriters moved back to the Beltway long ago. Just how poorly constructed was the governor’s holiday-weekend address? We asked V.F.’s red-pencil-wielding executive literary editor, Wayne Lawson, together with representatives from the research and copy departments, to whip it into publishable shape. Here is the colorful result."

Good Lordy, but that's a lot of red pencil!

So how does a governor of Alaska not know the details behind Seward's Folly? Still the best $7.2 million we've ever spent (and paid for by check, incidentally).

 

Thanks for sharing.

- Thoth.

You know, there are some writers whom even Storyist cannot help.

 

Thanks for sharing that gem. Makes my editorial heart glow.
