Who Wrote Dreams From My Father?

I heard this discussed at length on some right wing radio show this weekend.  There is a theory that Obama had a ghost writer for the book.  No biggie, right?

But Jack Cashill is saying that it is 98% likely that Bill Ayers' wrote the book.

Cashill reasons this must be because both Obama's book and Ayers' memoir use nautical metaphors, average the same number of words per sentence, etc.

Here's the post:

WHERE ARE THEY?

Why the hell would Bill Ayers ghostwrite a book for a man who is obviously quite capable of writing himself?  This is not just dumb but actually CONSTRUCTED entirely of PURE RETARDITUDE.

Jack Cashill is a Republican douchebag.  He also happens to live down the street from my brother (who's not a douchebag, but is unfortunately a Republican-good thing his wife cancels out his vote.)

My brother votes Repugnantcan, too.  Cancelling out our brothers is our duty.

As for Jack Cashill, he writes for WorldNetDaily, right?  That would seem to be conclusive proof that he's both a liar and an idiot.  He obviously doesn't care about his reputation.  Why should we?  End of conversation.

You know how easy it is to spot KenTX's sockpuppets; the writing style is the same. So now Barack's first book and Bill Ayers' memoir are written in the same hand. Yeah, nothing to see here, move along.

Gee!  Well, I'll be...

It appears that you can tell a lot by analyzing someone's writing style.  For instance, a careful analysis of your writing style reveals conclusively -- and I mean without any doubt -- that you are compeletely bereft of the ability to reason.

I did Jazzy, I wrote it.  I thought it was a biography on Tom Hanks when I wrote it.  Looks like I was fooled !!!
