I agree that she just isn't very clever. Her word choice and mode of expression is an attempt to sound more intelligent that she is. But please notice that much of it was learned from CA, who also simply is not very gifted with the smarts. When I read the email she sent to the television network trying to determine whether their spokesperson received payment on their behalf I cringed. It was so poorly written. And her spoken language is full of improper tense and bad grammer. So KC comes by it honestly to an extent. *Absolutely*. She was exposed to it "from day 1."
Also, regarding her lying- I don't think it is a product of stupidity. At least the lying itself is not. The poor craftmanship and lack of a long-range view, however, is. She is a sociopath and quite likely a malignant narcissist like my ex, who once memorably said "perception is reality." She is living moment-to-moment and believes that what she says will be believed simply by virtue of her saying it. And why would she not? It worked so perfectly with GA and CA for so many years.
My personal favorite is her taking the detectives to Universal and sashaying down the hallway on the way to her "office." What was going on in her head at that point? That at any moment the police would say, "okay, we believe that you work here and we can just leave now and go out for lunch or something. Retrieving the mythical sim card won't be necessary now that we are sure you do actually work here. Well, I call this a good day's work. Everyone okay with TGI Friday's?" And then the way she scrambles when they call her on it.... priceless.
