Not giving a shit about Palin, I was hoping this thread would just disappear from lack of interest. But...

As to the lame attempt to change the subject & misdirect the converstion:
Unless you really buy into the lunatic fringe rant that there was a 47 year conspiracy to make Barack Obama President, I see no reason to think that Harvard wouldn't have had his transcripts from Columbia when they accepted him into the Law School. You guys are really reaching. Every rock has been turned over, looking for dirt on the President. As far as I can see, there isn't any. He's squeaky clean. Must suck to be you, having nothing to throw other than a bunch of made up bullshit that isn't even plausible.

Sarah Palin's Emails Written At 8th Grade Level -- Better Than Some CEOs


The huge cache of Sarah Palin's emails released Friday (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/10/sarah-palin-emails-released_n_874247.html) offered not only a chance to see what she was writing about during her uncompleted term as Alaska's governor, but also an opportunity to see how well she writes.
AOL Weird News brought samples to two writing analysts who independently evaluated 24,000 pages of the former governor's emails. They came back in agreement that Palin composed her messages at an eighth-grade level, an excellent score for a chief executive, they said.
"I'm a centrist Democrat, and would have loved to support my hunch that Ms. Palin is illiterate," said 2tor Chief Executive Officer John Katzman (http://2tor.com/).
"However, the emails say something else. Ms. Palin writes emails on her Blackberry at a grade level of 8.5.
"If she were a student and showing me her work, I'd say 'It's fine, clear writing,'" he said, admitting that emails he wrote scored lower than Palin's on the widely used Flesch-Kincaid readability test.
"She came in as a solid communicator," said Paul J.J. Payack, president of the Global Language Monitor. The emails registered as an 8.2 on his version of the test. "That's typical for a corporate executive."
An example of Palin's strongest writing came on Jul. 17, 2007 in an email to Lieutenant Governor Sean Parnell about the controversial Gravina Island Bridge, infamously called the "Bridge to Nowhere."

"We cant afford it, the Feds won't pay for it, the general populace isn't placing it as a high priority … can you diplomatically express that?! Of course we want infrastructure -- and this is NOT a "bridge to nowhere" (that is so offensive), but as it stands today with the highest-cost bridge design selected by the Ketchikan community, we need to find a lower-cost alternative [if] a bridge will be built."

"She's very concise. She gives clear orders. Her sentences and punctuations are logical," Payack said. "She has much more of a disciplined mind than she's given credit for."
Although it's like comparing apples to oranges, Payack said that famous speeches like Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was a 9.1 and Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" oration rated a 8.8 on the scale.
The Palin emails offer a rare opportunity to see the digital internal communication of a public official. One of the few comparable scenarios was the release of the relatively slim 928-page assortment of former FEMA chief Michael Brown's emails (http://projects.publicintegrity.org/katrina/report.aspx?aid=484) from the days around the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe.
Payack and Katzman restricted their analysis to 60 randomly chosen messages that were at least one paragraph long. They were just 60 among the avalanche of documents released in response to freedom of information requests lodged when Palin was the relatively unknown running mate of Sen. John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign.
Incoming messages to Palin's gov.sarah@yahoo.com account made up the bulk of the correspondence between December 2006 and September 2008, while the majority of notes Palin penned were too brief to use in the grade-level tests, the analysts said.
Many messages were conjured on her Blackberry, where Palin shortened words in a manner familiar to people who conduct business with their thumbs on a minuscule keypad.
"I'll ck w/Nizich on letter and fwd your ideas," she wrote to Parnell in September 2008 about a conversation he had with Mike Nizich, a former chief of staff to Palin.
Her characteristic down-home manner as the self-proclaimed "Mama Grizzly" that has endeared her to her base and been the subject of ridicule by her opponents shined through in an email from Jan. 2, 2007, soon after she moved into the governor's mansion.
"I am a hunter. I grew up hunting - some of my best memories growing up are of hunting with my dad to help feel [sic] our freezer," she wrote to aides on a bear hunting issue under debate.
But this was a rare example where Palin's writing style matched with the public persona of the rugged frontierswoman that Americans recognize from her recurring appearances on television.
"Given her portrayal of herself as very much an Alaskan I had expected to find a lot of 'Alaskanisms' in her emails," said University of Alaska, Anchorage English Professor David Bowie. "But there were actually very few."
The one regionalism Bowie noticed that popped up was Palin's use of the word "outside" for things beyond Alaska's borders.

LMAO....do you get out much...or just sit behind your computer dreaming up conspiracy theories about Palin? Look you silly bastard....every news organization in the country has pawed over every fucking word of those emails, and not even the far left looney bloggers have made the leap you have. But somehow smithken, a rather insignificant, shallow poster on HA knows those emails were written by someone else.....Well smithken...let's have some proof.....!!! In your case...it's not a crime to be ignorant, it actually provides levity for some of us. Your hate has overshadowed any semblance of common sense. The irony of it can't be overlooked...here you are trying to advance the theory that Palin is an idiot, and you make a post like this .....Brilliant !!!!!

What's next....the little kid was not really Bristol's...oops you're too late. That one's already been taken. Give it up dude...

Here's a lesson in civility....it's perfectly acceptable not to like Palin, not to think she's qualified to be President, and to think her Rx for the country is all wrong....it's entirely another matter when you to make shit up out of whole cloth because it fits your limited world view and adjenda.

Lol. You better reel yourself in, kneeler, old boy. I don't know if you're off your meds or maybe you've just fallen off the wagon lately, but I see a trip to the looney-bin in your near future. There, there, little fella. I know the 'net gives you a chance to vent your hate and anger at the world from a relatively safe place. It seems that you're close to the breaking point though and you won't be able to post in a straitjacket.

I'm not at all surprised to see you jump on the 'you-damn-Libs-can't-find-anything-juicy-in-those-emails' bandwagon. Lord knows, the major media hasn't called you REICHwingers out on that horseshit. I'd just like to remind you (and anyone foolish enough to believe anything you say) that some 2415 pages of Palin emails were withheld. Obviously, any 'red meat' was in the emails that Sarah's pals and former underlings decided the public had no right to view.

Thanks for the effort, though. I'm sure you don't grasp the irony of your attempt at giving a 'lesson in civility'. That might well be the funniest thing I see all day.
