When Michael Solomon reads the words of Sarah Palin he sees poetry.

Solomon's searched through 24,000 emails Palin sent while governor of Alaska to create "I Hope Like Heck," a newly published book of poetry.

Current's Keith Olbermann celebrated the Fourth of July holiday by offering a dramatic reading of some of those poems.

"I did not change a word," Solomon told Olbermann. "You know, I left in all of her misspellings because I wanted to be true to the source material."
