Sarah Palin satire 'diary' published

A former contributing editor of National Lampoon has published a book satirizing former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) around the same time she released her long-awaited memoir. 

The book, titled "Sarah Palin's Secret Diary," was authored by Joey Green and is a fabricated diary of Palin's innermost thoughts.

"Sarah Palin told the media that she kept a journal during her pregnancy, her teenage daughter’s pregnancy, and her campaign for Vice President," said Green. "I wondered what torrid secrets the diary might reveal, but for legal reasons, I’m not allowed to claim that a disgruntled Alaska State Trooper broke into her home, stole her diary, and FedExed it to me. I remain 100% convinced that Sarah Palin wrote every single word of this diary, even if the book does call itself a forgery right on the cover."

Green described himself as "so far left, I'm right" in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. The Los Angeles-based author has authored a number of books and has appeared on Good Morning America, The View, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Palin's memoir titled Going Rogue: An American Life went on sale this week. Palin has made numerous media appearances and kicked off a book tour last night in Grand Rapids, Mich.
