Vatican sources today confirmed that global yammering about the best-selling fiction work by a native Alaskan since "Call of the Wild" has cracked a case that Italian police have been dithering over for nearly five years.
Cardinals were reportedly watching the evening news Tuesday when a clip from Barbara Walters' interview with former U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin struck a familiar chord.
"It was the word 'dithering' that loosened the old mothballs," the anonymous sources said, referring to Palin's criticism of President Obama's thought process on Afghanistan. "Dithering, dithering, dithering ..."
The cardinals recognized Palin's voice as that of a deranged woman who phoned the Vatican repeatedly during the 2005 papal conclave.
"'What are they dithering about? That dithering is irresponsible. They have to stop dithering.' ... That's what the caller kept saying," a source reported. "One cardinal explained that it was the incomparable lack of knowledge on the topic at hand that convinced them that the women were one and the same."
Elsewhere in the news ... a spokeswoman for the EPA said they've yet to identify the source of black smoke sporadically emitted from the West Wing of the White House in recent weeks.
