Reminds me of the time football’s Terrell Owens pulled a Sharpie out of his sock during a touchdown celebration.  One (or two) key differences to note: There was no Twitter then, so I wasn’t up until midnight responding to all the Tweets asking me “did you see, did you see?!!”…and it wasn’t the President of the United States!!

Finally, thought you’d enjoy this other Sharpie-inspired Obama sighting: 

Now.  Let’s get down to business.  Did you know Sarah Palin’s niece is selling Sarah’s headline-making Monkey Shoes on ebay?  Size 7.5, for the record.   

Auction site says Palin will autograph for the winning bidder

Furthermore, did you know that part of the offer includes one of the personalized Sharpies the campaign ordered?

A custom Sharpie Pen that was made for autographing while on the Presidential Campaign Trail.  This pen will be used to autograph shoes if buyer would like shoes autographed.

Here’s a close up of the marker imprint…

And finally, to prove we are an equal opportunity marker, from Ebony magazine.  I know you can’t read it, but it says that Sharpie was a must-have on the Obama campaign trail.
