New Satire "Sarah Palin's Secret Diary" Makes Outrageous Claims

[icymist]

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a fallacious diary, penned by satirist Joey Green, when Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin stepped inside the voting booth in her hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, on election day last year, she cast her vote for Barack Obama. "Sarah Palin's Secret Diary," a "genuine imitation" of the former Alaska governor's private journal, also reveals that Palin seriously asked the producers of "Saturday Night Live" if she could waterboard Tina Fey on the show.

Among the many ersatz revelations in the spurious diary are that Palin had the hots for Joe the Plumber and practiced for her debate against Joe Biden with her 13-year-old daughter Willow. The simulated diary also discloses that Palin found her teenage daughter Bristol and boyfriend Levi Johnston alone in a bedroom -- buck naked and surrounded by lit candles -- but feared the teens were practicing Satanism, not premarital sex.

According to the fabricated diary, Republican Presidential nominee John McCain watched the movie "Top Gun" obsessively, wore a pilot's helmet printed with the name "Maverick," and frequently piloted his campaign jet, doing barrel rolls and loop-de-loops. To convince McCain to choose her as his running mate, Palin unzipped her dress and let it drop to the floor. "I was wearin' a hot red regulation one-piece Miss Alaska swimsuit," she allegedly writes. "I started promenadin' across the deck to strut my stuff and show off my great poise."

1. It sounds a lot like "Little Me,"

a truly great sendup of the washed up Hollywood starlet autobiography.

Washed up has beens have an advantage over all of us who never were. They can write books for a last grab at some cash. They're great targets for satire.

While I welcome a satire of a political has been's book, I wish they'd picked someone who didn't insist on satirizing herself.

2. Satire is what it is----humorous.

3. Wow. Wonder if they could have gotten any more qualifiers in to that story. . .

"fallacious," "genuine imitation," "ersatz," "spurious," "simulated,' "fabricated," "allegedly" . . .

All these in the first three paragraphs. When the headline describes it as "satire," does the point need to be belabored in every sentence of the story? Or are the editors concerned with how Palin will respond to this news?

5. And ironically Sarah Palin will have no idea what any of that means.

4. Not quite the level of ''Mrs. Agnew's Diary,'' but getting there.

Very fun. And we always need more fun.
