Liz Smith shows her ignorance.
In her column today, Smith of The New York Post shows her ignorance as well as her envy for the $7 million advance that Republican Gov. Sarah Palin can expect if she writes a book.
Wrote Smith: “What could Sarah Palin, age 44, write of a life still so young? Anything she damn well wants to write. The public, it seems, is just waiting to lap it all up like that finger-lickin’ moose stew.”
Barrack Obama was 34 when he finished, “Dreams from My Father.”
By the way, Palin has been a beauty queen (OK, runner-up), a sportscaster, a business partner with her husband, the mother of 5, a reform mayor, a reform governor and a candidate for the vice presidency.
Ed Driscoll pointed me to Suber:
She's no community organizer though--and let's face it, age 44 is "a life still so young" as Smith writes; it's not until you hit the wizened age of 47 when the Lincoln, FDR, JFK, RFK, RWR comparisons start to flow in.
What's great about the internet is that you can browse the news and views without actually ever having to wade through the crap that appears between the ads in the newspapers.
One wonders, however, who is Liz Smith and why is she paid to write?
Oh, I clicked on the link to her article and read the following:
...good journalists and fair-minded publishers should get in a old jalopy together and go to Washington to press the case that the nation's newspapers and magazines also need a bailout from Congress, specifically because they're so important to the future health and democratic well-being of all of us. As magazines and newspapers die and go under, so dies the oversight of a free nation.
I see, she's a humor writer. See, she's smiling:
