Editing Sarah Palin

This really sings to my heart. The Literary Editor of Vanity Fair takes the red pen to a recent speech by the famous ex-governor of Alaska. The difference is drastic. Although this copy is a bit like seeing sausages getting made, it is interesting to look at. And I applaud the editors for not trying to change the message of the Governor, but rather focusing strictly on syntax and grammar.
