  Wow, she must use those big oversized checks, like you get from Publisher’s Clearinghouse or from winning Lotto, to have a signature that big.

  One point that hasn’t surfaced, is how, day after day does she manage to sign 800 books each stop. I, on rare occasions can manage maybe 20 or thirty signatures at which time my fingers start to cramp and the signature becomes illegible. Aside from whether she is Gods’s gift to equal opportunity with pizzaz added in, how does she manage to do that many and for that matter, how the hell can she shake that many hands. I would have thought she would be crippled and signing left handed by now. This has to be a talent that transcends baby kissing for political purposes.

  Incidentally, I have the book sans autograph. My brother in Indiana stood in line but the autograph session ended before they got to him. Still he sent me the book. For those of you that have shrilly condemned her as not the author, look into the mirror and repeat after me: Gore wrote his entire book without any help from anyone. Ronald Reagan wrote his autobiography without any help from anyone. For those of you that would rather tear down a person opposed to discussing issues, I can’t think of any modern political figure that hasn’t’ had help writing their book. That you pick on Sarah Palin just shows you up for the sexists that you really are.

  I’ll bet a graphologist would have a field day with Sarah’s signature…

  Herb, that would be false logic, unless you also believe that those who claim that Obama had a ghost writer for his books are racists?

  Herb there is a difference between having help writing a book and having someone write a book based upon stories you tell them. So if I sit down and tell a bunch of stories to a writer and they write a book, I get to put my name on the book and claim it is mine? i wonder how many of the Sarah fans who wait on these kines actually believe she wrote it? Most of them I’d guess.

  Phaedrus, why do you denigrate Sarah Palin, when you KNOW, as Herb as informed us, HOW VERY HARD work it is signing her book, hour after hour, day after grueling day? How she manages under such extreme labor, God only knows.

  She’s making that personal SACRIFICE for YOU, and for ALL true American Patriots.

  GOD BLESS her for doing so.

  BTW, anybody know how that retarded kid (her words) of hers is doing? Twig or something or other?

  Spoke, “retarded Kid”, that was really classy.

  Just parroting what Soccer Mom minivan drivin’ Palin called her Downs Syndrome child, according to Caribou Barbie’s grandkid’s father, Levi Johnston, who’s credibility is superior to Saracuda, by far. Faint praise, I know, but still…

  “I, on rare occasions can manage maybe 20 or thirty signatures at which time my fingers start to cramp and the signature becomes illegible.”

  And you call the signature in the picture legible? All I can make out of it (with certainty) are the initials SP. It almost looks like Sig Pie or SaPae or Se Pial or Si Pac.

  Geez - now you’re criticizing her SIGNATURE? Anything else you want to reach for?

  Gimme a break.

  Hey, I could sign all day. My signature is not legible even on the best of days. :-)

  I don’t see any criticism about her signature, only observation. The Palin defenders can be so hypersensitive!

  I think the signature is lovely and all, but the choice of blood red murder ink reminds me of a mean boss I once had who would leave pissy notes to people in red sharpie with lots of exclamation points and ever since, red markers have freaked me out a little.

  Wow… the palinists sure are in a sour mood. Her signature is not the most legible thing on the planet. But neither is mine. Signatures don’t have to be legible. How in the name of all that is good and holy is that a criticism? If I want to trash Palin, there’s much easier fodder with which she could be bashed.

  The fact that we’ve been reduced to commenting on a signature sure makes me think that the 24/7 nature of the internets is not exactly advancing critical thinking and culture. BUT………

  Signatures don’t need to be legible, just unique;I like her signature it’s got style.

  It’s better to have an illegible signature … it’s harder to counterfeit. Same with bad handwriting, so I suggest we all start practicing! ;-)

  Phaed: So do I, and as a calligrapher, I could do that all day long.
