Sarah Palin's Cheat Sheet is Her Hand

I believe they call that "Seward's Telepromter."She's bringing America into the digital age!

"Who's to say Governor Palin wrote that stuff on her hand herself?" Heh -- good one.I must say, I get a fat laugh out of the claims that Obama is lost without a Teleprompter. Every American president (and most American politicians) since the 1970s have used a Teleprompter -- we know this. Reagan used one. Clinton used one. Bushes I and II used one. It's silly to suggest that Obama is somehow different.The only thing this meme really shows is the ability of the right wing message machine to get traction with any crazy idea it wants, from "death panels" to Teleprompter mania. You've got to salute them for that. I personally believe it's a form of psychological transferrence. George W. Bush was notoriously bad at speaking on his feet without help, so the GOP now claims Obama can't function without a Teleprompter. Bush was a famously (and self-admitted) poor student... so the GOP rants about how Obama was an academic phony. It would be silly if they weren't so successful at getting it repeated.

It's too funny. In the late summer of 2008 when candidate John McCain announced his curious choice of a running mate, I immediately ran to the computer to do a google-search of the name, "Sarah Palin". I knew next-to-nothing about the woman other than the fact that she was the governor of Alaska. The first thing in her paper-thin biography that stood out for me was the date of her birth: February 11, 1964. I remember that day - distinctly! That was the day my beloved grandma, Loretta Doran Clements, died in South Bend, Indiana at the age of sixty-eight.But other than that interesting coincidence there was not a heck of a lot in her biography that really stood out. Truth be told, I was more than a little puzzled as to why the GOP would think her an asset to the ticket. The moment she opened her mouth at her first campaign stop in Dayton, Ohio, I could only think of one thing:Sally Field as "Gidget".When someone like Sarah Palin can make it as far as she has, it can mean only one thing and it's not a particularly good sign: we are living in a culture that has been custom-tailored for idiots. When a person who can barely put two coherent sentences together without the aid of a teleprompter becomes one of the best-selling non-fiction authors of the decade, that's usually a pretty good indicator that society is spiraling downward at a fairly decent clip. Fasten your seat belts, kiddies!I had always believed that Monty Python alumni Michael Palin was the funniest person in the world to bear that name. In fact it should be stated for the record that the two Palins are equally funny. The only difference is that Michael works very hard at it. Sarah's funniness, on the other hand, is purely accidental. The woman is a scream; the Buster Keaton of unintentional comedy.http://www.tomdegan.blogspot.com Tom DeganGoshen, NY

Obama sure didn't need a teleprompter to make the whole GOP congress look like a bunch of ignorant fools at their own gathering. The even admitted it was a mistake to let them televise it.

Liberals think Sara Palin is an "Idiot" and a "Retard" for having 4 or 5 words written on her hand...yet Obama is a "Genius" for having to have someone else tell him what to say and then simply reading what they wrote. I bet these people are amazed at the talent of the puppet...ignoring the ventriloquist that has his hand up the puppet's butt!

Would you please report real news. This is a waste of time. Left/Right bashing on this level is similar to your grade school script on your video.Move on to something smarter.
