  2. Any idea who is ghost writing it for him?

    Dumb question, I know. Only Palin needs a ghost writer. Everyone is brilliant enough to do it themselves. Even Teddy.

  3. Mary Jo could 'ghost write' for him. Then it might actually be worth the read. I'll pay someone $2 million in mad money to kick the seat of his old dying ass. Any takers?

  4. He's a "Lyin'" of the Senate! Another working title, apropos the Wm. Kennedy Smith affair:

    "Wake Up and Drink Some More!": A Life
