Maybe, when Sarah Palin non-answered Katie Courec a few years back, it wasn't because she was being evasive or uninterested in the world around her.Maybe she just can't read.
The latest in the long line of Palin gaffes occurred recently when it was revealed that the erstwhile former governor of Alaska and vice presidential candidate loser applied to have her name trademarked.
Application denied by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, for both her and daughter Bristol.
The reason?
They failed to sign the application for trademark. Nice try, fill it out properly and try gain, they were told.
And, this woman wanted to be vice president? This woman might be interested in running for president?
The women tried to put a brand on their names. Said they wanted to use it to help them in their careers as "motivational speakers."
Bristol Palin, of course, is trying to motivate young women to not have sex. Sarah Palin, without much effort, is motivating men to do likewise. I mean, you've got to talk eventually, right? What can you possibly talk about with an illiterate?
I'm sure Palin fans will find a way to "refudiate" that statement, but the only motivation we've seen from Palin is a hatred for all things to do with the Democratic Party and a desire to place a bullseye on the back of those she most despises.
There's a book out there with her name on it. Does anybody believe she actually put pen to paper at any point? There's a Facebook page with her name on it. Does anybody believe she is the one who punches the keys and enters her comments or puts together the graphics found there?
The fact that she uses the palm of her hand as a cheat sheet while making speeches reveals she must be fairly monosyllabic. Can't get many words with more than four letters on your palm.
It doesn't take a lot of brains to learn how to gut a moose, hook a salmon or drive the kid to hockey practice. It doesn't take much acumen to be mayor of a tiny, remote Alaskan town. As governor, she smiled for the cameras while pimping her state as an interesting place to visit. Her other contributions? Backdoor dealings with Big Oil and a willingness to trade pristine wilderness for treasure.
It will be interesting to see what she does with her "brand" after the proper paperwork is signed, sealed and re-delivered to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
I mean, will we have the Sarah Palin 7mm Magnum Remington rifle, good for taking down large game at 250 yards? Will there be the Sarah Palin Buck knife, good for your general outdoorsy needs like ripping open an animal carcass? How about Sarah Palin sock puppets? Oh, wait, we already have a living, breathing version of that as the Tea Party continues to stick its hand up her backside and manipulate what comes out of her mouth.
Perhaps she believes that by trademarking her name, the media will not be able to use it in reports and commentary without royalty fees. Sorry, but that one won't fly, either. Ask Band-Aid.
So, what's the purpose?
I guess she just likes to provide fodder for the pundits and late-night TV comedians.
