Chris Matthews making fun of Sarah Palin?

Believe it or not, the Hardball host is ridiculing Palin's upcoming book -- even before she starts writing it. Or collaborating on it, as he said on his program tonight.

"Sarah Palin – now don't laugh – is writing a book. Not just reading a book, writing a book," he said.

"She's got this book deal, she obviously is not gonna write it," he said later in the show. "They've already announced ... she's gonna collaborate on it. What an embarrassment! It's one of these "I told you," books that jocks do. ... Why they do it like this? 'She can't write, we got a collaborator for her.'"

January

Sound familiar? It's reminiscent of what he said in January when news first broke of a Palin book. We told you about it here.

“If she can read, if she can write, she’ll make some money,” he said. "The big question is who’s going to actually write the Palin book."
