Sarah Palin reads notes off of her hand during speech.
This would be funny if 30% of the country didn’t want this daft bimbo to be our next President. The best part is that during this speech, she made a comment about Obama needing a teleprompter. Somewhere, Alanis Morrissette is writing another hit song.
For the record, she read her speech from notes on the podium. The notes on her hand were for a Q&A afterwards. Her comments about Obama using a teleprompter were stupid since she also uses a teleprompter, and read her speech from a transcript last night, but they’re doubly stupid in light of the fact that Obama can stand up and take 90 minutes of hardball questions from House Republicans, with no notes at all, and dominate the room, while Palin can’t tell Katie Couric what she likes to read, or answer softball questions from teabagger fans without writing buzzwords on her hands.
So, if she was to actually debate someone, all they’d have to do is make her sweat a little … and her talking points would dissolve, leaving her staring at the camera and wondering where she is?
Interesting.
Wasilla-style…? Was she voted “Most likely to have talking-points tattooed on her Hoo-Ha”?
Nah, this owned 100% by Mrs. Quitter. Leave Alaska out of it.
The actual words she wrote on her hand were kinda funny to. “Energy, Tax cuts, Lift America’s Spirit”. I mean, that’s basically been her entire schtick for the last two years, you’d think she mumbles them in her sleep at this point. Weird that she felt the need to make sure she had them writen down somewhere, especially for a fake interview infront of a small, friendly crowd.
It’s like finding Rush Limbuagh with “Democrats=bad, Republican’s=good” written in his radio booth, just to make sure he remembers who he’s angry at.
Anyhoo, I hope Palin manages to streach out her 15 minutes for another year or two, she continues to be unable to show up in public without doing something amusing.
I’d like to coin the term “Alaskan Palm Pilot”, but I already saw it on the internets, which as you know, is a series of tubes.
Actually, there were no notes on her palms. Her speeches are actually controlled by a reincarnated Señor Wences.
No, no Morono is here.
Oh shit, a Palin thread! I’m glad you guys started one because Sarah doesn’t get any attention around here. Thanks!
I think it’s time for an all-purpose “let’s piss and moan about Sarah Palin” thread.
As long as we’re at it, how about an all purpose thread for people who want to piss and moan about people starting Sarah Palin threads?
It’s Bush all over again. You can’t defend her, so you just complain about the sheer quantity of irrefutable evidence that she’s a fucking moron.
Some people just pounce without thinking or knowing anything. From someone who is no fan of SP.
not so much “piss and moan” as “point and laugh”
I’m a trial attorney. I write out what I want to bring up ahead of time, but I never have to refer to my notes while I’m actually in the middle of a trial. I plan and practice so I don’t look like a moron later on.
I don’t know why I have to know the complete background of someone’s expressed views to respond to a particular post. Especially if it falls into an annoying trend of deflecting valid criticism based on the fact that there is so very much valid criticism against somebody who wants to run the country.
Well, we have established that you’re smarter than Sarah Palin!
I don’t care that she wrote on her hand, BTW. It’s the least of my complaints against her.
Maybe I should run for President.
Oh, wait. I know I’m not smart enough to do that.
Wish I could say the same about Sarah Palin.
I’ll state it now and for the record: if you think back to your fifth grade homeroom, every single one of the girls who was in that classroom then and is still alive today is better qualified and a better choice to be POTUS than Sarah “Quitter” Palin.
We don’t need an election. We need a Lottery.
Yea, now that she’s pretty clearly out of any contention of holding elected office, I think she’s just sort of an amusing side show. Sort of a distillation of the sillier side of populism.
OK, but plenty of people use notes when public speaking. I don’t think that’s the amusing facet of it, its that she set up a sham “interview” where she not only obviously had the questions fed to her in advance, but had the points she wanted to hit written on her palm, so she could kinda glance at it on the sly. Kinda like a cheating school-child
Plus, as I said above, the actual content of what she had on her hands was pretty amusing.
