What’s it this time? By claiming Obama’s Nobel Prize speech was ripped straight from the pages of “Going Rogue,” the memoir that she barely wrote. Please let this woman run for President. Please.

You see, all good ideas come from Sarah Palin. Like Copernicus’ theories. She had this great-great-great-great-grandfather who wandered around the English plains, staring at the sun, going, “You betcha. Ooooh, you betcha.” Which eventually drove him blind, but goddamn, he discovered that everything revolved around the sun. Also, one of her other grandfathers discovered cancer. And once she can co-opt a way to revive him, she can claim she discovered cancer too. Here she is, in her own words.

“I liked what he said. In fact, I thumbed through my book quickly this morning, saying, ‘Wow, that really sounded familiar.’ I talked in my book, too, about the fallen nature of man and why war is necessary at times, and history’s lessons when it comes to knowing when it is when we engage in warfare.”

My favorite part of this whole story–my absolute FAVORITE part–is that she had no idea what was written in her own book. She had to look over it again.

But there you go. The world’s most attention-whorey book plug.
