Yea, a couple have pointed out the original line. Which I did remember
right---Capote on "On The Road"---but I credited Capote with the idea
but I do not think Sarah Palin even actually typed her memoir but
rather, in the tradition of many political memoirs, just dictated it
and someone else typed it.

A ghostwriter 'shaped' it, I will bet half my library on.
