Title: Palin's Palm Holds the Answers Post by: Allhallowsday on February 08, 2010, 04:24:30 PM Palin's Palm Holds the Answers
Remember those quizzes you had on the state capitals back in junior high? Oh, the pressure! The temptation to write "Pierre, Olympia, Dover, Albany" on the inside of your hand was overwhelming, wasn't it? But you resisted. Maybe Sarah Palin should have done the same. The former vice presidential candidate seems to have been caught using curious crib notes during an interview this past weekend at the high-profile Tea Party Convention in Nashville. While speaking about her top political priorities, Ms. Palin gazed at her hand in a rather suspicious manner. Later, Web researchers zoomed in on her left palm and found the following words scrawled in black ink: "Energy, Budget cuts (with "budget" crossed out), Tax, Lift American Spirits." In an ironic twist during the speech, Ms. Palin worked in a jab against President Obama's often-mocked use of TelePrompTers... http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93375?fp=1 (http://buzz.yahoo.com/buzzlog/93375?fp=1) (http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100207/capt.9720c298c2d546d2845f8f9f025f1e05.tea_party_palin_tner10.jpg?x=400&y=320&q=85&sig=oNNTifmKY.rAQrVT_EdLHA--) (http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/library/palin-detail_1574326c.jpg) Title: Re: Palin's Palm Holds the Answers Post by: SPazzo on February 08, 2010, 04:48:39 PM :bouncegiggle:
In all honestness, this doesn't make me think any less of her. She is human after all. Though, making fun of Obama for using teleprompters while having stuff written on her hand isn't that great. It's not like she was really doing anything wrong. I still don't like or support her though.

He actually needs the teleprompter, the guy cannot talk without it!

Must have been a very impromptu change in her speech for her to resort to writing notes on her hand.

Geeee :) Title: Re: Palin's Palm Holds the Answers Post by: Dude on February 09, 2010, 03:23:12 PM Sarah Palin uses a teleprompter many times, any google image search will show you dozens of pictures of her using teleprompters. The ridiculous meme that the Right is pushing that Obama needs a teleprompter is part inability to counter anything said by such speeches so they must attack the delivery method, part jealousy that the Democrats have someone who can talk and not sound like a flippin' moron and part dog whistle racism that a black man needs help in order to talk well and not be all "Dat Dis Obama Vote 'em Me!"
