That's 11 writers for a 695-word report. What on? Obamacare? The Iranian nuke program? The upcoming trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?

No, the Associated Press assigned 11 writers to "fact-check" Sarah Palin's new book...

Hey, don't be too hard on the AP. CNN is also into fact-checking... SNL skits that are "mean" to Obama.

I've wondered that same question as well. Maybe Barry and Meechelle could explain their popularity with the Obamatrons.

I'd assign 11 employees to get it done in one morning,too.

How much time does "Conservatives 4 Palin" devote to it? OH: "It took us all day, but..."

Why does someone living the American Dream get lambasted for living that dream?

She flubbed a few interviews and gained a few fans in the process of a VP run. I don't see a problem. (not to be confused with support for her)

Are these books; how do you fact check them?

Bad comparison.

If Obama wrote a book about his healthcare plan than you could fact check what happened to what he said. If Khalid Mohammed writes a book in jail you could fact check it.
