In other words, did the woman who once said this
I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people.
actually write this...(below the fold, if you please)
Section 1233 authorizes advanced care planning consultations for senior citizens on Medicare every five years, and more often "if there is a significant change in the health condition of the individual ... or upon admission to a skilled nursing facility, a long-term care facility... or a hospice program." [3] During those consultations, practitioners must explain "the continuum of end-of-life services and supports available, including palliative care and hospice," and the government benefits available to pay for such services.

The Cajun Boy and Geoffrey Dunn - among others - think most definitely not.
Cajun Boy is referring to the FB piece above and the fact that it, like Palin's WSJ op-ed yesterday, is surprisingly coherent. As any true connoisseur of Palin's "linguistic schizophrenia" knows, coherence and Palin are two words that should never, ever, be found in the same sentence together.
If you're still not convinced, ask yourself this question:
Is it possible for Sarah Palin to compose anything clocking in at just under 1000 words that's completely devoid of references to God, the troops, the liberal media, Alaska, Ronald Reagan, her baby with Down Syndrome, or a hilariously painful attempt to channel her inner Jack London with some great poetic flourish?
The answer, of course, is a great, big resounding, "F*CK NO!"
Just to make sure that Palin isn't really the author of these recent screeds, Dunn has issued a challenge to Governor Mrs. Palin through her attorney:
Put your client in a locked room, give her an hour to write an op-ed piece, and let's examine the words she puts to the computer screen. It's what all of us in this business do every day. Those of us with real intellectual integrity. Those of us who claim our own thoughts and express our own views. Those of us who don't employ ghostwriters to fudge our bylines. We write our own words.
So, in the interest of further buttressing the case for a Palin ghostwriter (and also for distraction purposes leading up to Obama's address tonight) I'm including a couple of my own favorite Palinisms below:
"All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008
"I think on a national level your Department of Law there in the White House would look at some of the things that we've been charged with and automatically throw them out." --Sarah Palin, referring to a department that does not exist while attempting to explain why as president she wouldn't be subjected to the same ethics investigations that compelled her to resign as governor of Alaska, ABC News interview, July 7, 2009
