Literally?

The penultimate sentence from Maureen Dowd's piece on Sarah Palin:

As Palin’s spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, says, “The world is literally her oyster.”

Literally? Really? Literally?

Between this and the soon-to-be-ex-Governor-of-Alaska's "Executive Column" announcement - which reads like it was written with stars dotting all the i's - I think I might just donate a dictionary and a copy of Strunk and White to the library of the Juneau State House.
