Somebody Finally Finds Dirt in Sarah Palin’s Emails: She ‘Writes Like an 8th Grader’

Dozens of journalists dutifully monitored the hundreds of citizens they recruited to do pro-bono muckraking for the MSM, and the overall efforts to find dirt in Sarah Palin’s emails are finally starting to produce fruit.

This New York Daily News headline explains the developing scandal: Sarah Palin writes at an eighth-grade level in recently released emails, say writing analysts:

She may have attended four universities, but Sarah Palin still writes like an eighth-grader.

AOL Weird News gave two writing analytic companies samples of the former Alaska governor’s recently released emails and both agree that the Tea Party favorite writes as if she’s in middle school.

You have to keep going to find out that it’s not as bad as they try to make it sound:

It turns out Palin’s writing skills are still better than most educated Americans. Global Language Monitor gave Palin’s emails a score of 8.2, which actually exceeds that of most chief executives.

“She’s very concise. She gives clear orders. Her sentences and punctuations are logical,” said Paul Payack, president of Global Language Monitor. “She has much more of a disciplined mind than she’s given credit for.”

The Daily News didn’t mention one of those chief executives by name. Sarah might not be so dumb after all. Unflippingbelievable!
