It’s the story that won’t die – possibly because MSNBC doesn’t want it to, since it seems that it could delegitimize the Republican Party and conservatives: Taking “fringe notions” and portraying them to be mainstream, including the issue of President Barack Obama’s citizenship.
On Tuesday’s “Hardball,” host Chris Matthews led off his program and scrutinized the reasons why Speaker of the House John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor won’t condemn Republican members that question the president’s citizenship. His conclusion? Boehner and Cantor are collaborators, using the myth for political gain.
“OK, you know what I want to do something right now,” Matthews said. “I’m going accuse those leaders, they’re very smart gentlemen. Cantor seems like a good guy and of course, Boehner seems like a good guy. Let me just say this – I hereby accuse them of collaboration.”
Matthews explained that this so-called “collaboration” is meant to advance gains with primary voters and the theory is based on the Republican leaders’ unwillingness to attack those that hold views questioning Obama’s citizenship in the Republican caucus.

I read about this before the book was published, and apparently Palin keeps a pretty detailed journal. So, I'm sure the book was Palin's story as told with the help of a gifted wordsmith.
If FMD "is" the father - - - how do you feel this effects Obamas meeting the 'terms of the US Constitution A2S1' ???? Thanx
“I read about this before the book was published, and apparently Palin keeps a pretty detailed journal. So, I’m sure the book was Palin’s story as told with the help of a gifted wordsmith.”
People are real odd about this ghostwriting business. If they don’t take it as an insult, they feel the need to explain it away. As if without knowing Palin kept a journal I’d imagine she was the equivalent of a drooling.
Like I said before, ghostwriting is so ubiquitous, you don’t have to explain it away either way. People tend to think, in unreflective moods, that literate people ought to be able to write a book. But knowing how to read and write is to releasing a blockbuster book as making PB&J sandwiches is to launching a 4-star restaurant. Like everything else in life, ingoring savants and the lucky, it takes years of practice to hone your craft.
