Sarah Palin's lies & deceptions have reached a fever pitch lately. Between Sarah Palin pissing off her base by leaving early & her "bus tour" actually being her on a Gulfstream, it's been a fun day in Palin news. I have something to add to it--I'm going to call it, Stickergate. (Because let's face it, Palin & her ilk would be equally melodramatic about something like this.)
My dear conservative mother (who asked to be called a libertarian on the blog, but I think that libertarians are even more batshit insane than conservatives) knew I was blogging the Palin book so she decided to order me an autographed copy of the Palin book. Now, let's look at what we get when one orders an autographed Palin book?
That's right, folks. You get a copy of the book & a fucking sticker with her signature on it (which is a real signature, btw.)
When I order an autographed copy of a book, I want it to actually be autographed. I do not want a fucking sticker that I can affix at my leisure at a later date. Seriously, Sarah? Can you be more lazy? Is it too hard for you to open the book, sign it, & then close the book? Did the mavericks at Harper have to provide you with special stickers to sign?
PS. That is NOT the book that my mother ordered. She is, more than likely, taking it back to Joseph Beth & getting her $$ back. I'm sorry, but Sarah Palin's signature on a sticker is not worth $30 or whatever the list price is.
PPS. If this blog eventually gets more than 4 readers a day, I will probably raffle off my lovely annotated copy of the book (which has, in my opinion, hilarious notations) along with the sticker. You can stick it wherever you like!

Hey - at least it doesn't say "My Name Is" at the top. Although I'm tempted to Photoshop it....
ReplyDelete(You're going to get more than four readers off of this one.)
Ummm, yeah. What Aaron said. That's a fine story. We now know why she quit... so she could spend late summer and early fall signing stickers while her ghost wrote her memoir.
ReplyDeleteReal signature? Or auto-pen?
ReplyDeleteHow do we know it really is HER signature? She got a ghost writer to write her book, so maybe she hired a ghost signer to sign them?
ReplyDeleteHey, I saw an ad for Newsmax or something where you get four free copies of that bastion of journalism plus a copy of the book for $4.95. Guess you don't get a sticker though.
ReplyDeleteI googled the signature--it really doesn't match any of the sigs Google gives us. I'm going to go ahead & call forgery on this one.
ReplyDeleteIt corresponds to every signature that turns up via a Google Images search for "Sarah Palin Signature", along with the sample given in Wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteI Googled around & none of her signatures don't really match very well. I used to work at a bank & this lady would have been a nightmare to deal with, as I imagine she would sign every check differently, driving the tellers absolutely insane.
ReplyDeleteYour mother was definitely cheated, but now that you have the sticker, couldn't you affix it to something more interesting, like a DVD of 'Nailin Palin' or a copy of William Ayers' 'Fugitive Days?'
ReplyDeleteOOO! They should provide bumper stickets too. "Look! Palin signed my CAR!"
ReplyDeleteI'm also going to vote for temporary tatoos. An assorted sheet would be preferable: signature, Sarah w/favorite moose head, Sarah on snowmobile, pig in lipstick.
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin tramp stamp--I like that idea. I'm going to look into making up some temporary tattoos...
