"...Tweedledee and Tweedletrademark..."

Politics Daily reports that Sarah Palin's lawyer has filed applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the names "Sarah Palin" and "Bristol Palin."

According to records, the "Sarah Palin" trademark was filed November 5, just days after the 2010 midterm elections.

More interesting timing? Bristol Palin's application was filed September 15, five days before she appeared on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."

George Foreman Grills, Chia Pets, Head On, Shake Weights...Sarah Palin...Bristol Palin...

Yeah...seems about right.
