A guiding principle of not confusing stupid people

Ace points us to a poorly written story from Sarah Palin's book posted for the consideration of Slate's liberal comment section. As Ace puts it:

It might not sound like that's the kind of thing you want to read, but seriously, read it anyway.

Please do. But remember to install your monitor splash protector before clicking through.

Related: From After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois, Barack Obama's "Why Organize? Problems and Promise in the Inner City". It's like you're totally in The Wire. Gritty. Organizey.

"Listen, Obama," she began. "You're a bright young man, Obama. You went to college, didn't you?"
I nodded.
"I just cannot understand why a bright young man like you would go to college, get that degree and become a community organizer."
"Why's that?"
" 'Cause the pay is low, the hours is long, and don't nobody appreciate you." She shook her head in puzzlement as she wandered back to attend to her duties.

I loved it. The libs go nuts savaging the quote, and then when told "Oh wait, it's Obama's book not Palin's," they suddenly twist themselves into knots justifying how it actually is a correctly written quote. Sad.
