Ghost writing
Posted on May 23, 2007 by Bookworm
When you and I use the phrase “ghost writer,” we’re referring to a behind the scenes person who writes the words, while someone else — usually someone famous — gets the credit. However, when I hear that Fidel Castro “wrote” an article for a Cuban publication explaining his prolonged absence from public view, I begin to wonder whether the term “ghost writer” might have a more literal meaning. Perhaps when Castro writes, we really are hearing a voice from beyond the grave.
Boo!

Yeah it’s tough on my ghostwriter as well.Me Swamp getting on the glory while my writer toils in obscurity.
ps Book and Castro have a lot in common when it comes to longevity(age and speeches)!
I don’t know, Swamp. Castro went skinny dipping with American Yippies — Jerry Rubin et al. To my knowledge, Bookworm’s not crossed that threshold (with Coulter? Malkin? Sean Hannity?) in her fawning drive to become the country’s most vile Conservative female “pundit”.
NOW that is fawny !! I bet she has all the Conservative Pundit trading cards in her scrapbook(not that there is anything wrong with that) including O’Reilly,Carlson,Beck,Limbaugh,Hannity,Malkin,and Coulter.
Hmmmmmmmm . . . skinny dipping(not that there is anything wrong with that but Greg could we call it nightswimming since we are in polite company?) with the above(NOW THAT IS A MENTAL PICTURE WE COULD OF ALL DONE WITHOUT).
Book’s a kind person, unlike me. That’s why you two are still around on this blog.
Ooooooooooooooooo Yascarme ! Make my day .
