The first page of Sarah Palin's resignation speech after the Vanity Fair editors had their way with it. See the whole thing here. For Sarah Palin, going rogue is nothing new—the woman who put the "ick" in maverick gave her Republican handlers fits as she'd start free-styling off the top of her head, off point and usually off-kilter. Now that she's no longer a vice presidential candidate nor a governor, there are no more high-paid speechwriters or nervous chaperones—thus there's no more rogue for her to go. She's just Sarah being Sarah. The editors at Vanity Fair decided to take a red (and blue, and green) pen to Palin's resignation speech, in an attempt to "whip it into publishable shape." Executive literary editor Wayne Lawson wielded the red pen, the research department green, the copy editors blue. The result? Something akin to one of my blog posts before and after managing editor Jim Ridley has translated it into the King's English. Hear's hoping thay dont deside to take a redd pen to my werk.
