PALIN’S HILLBILLY TELEPROMPTER!
Former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin’s appearance before the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville Saturday night gave plenty of red meat to the attendees, such as calling President Obama “a charismatic guy with a Teleprompter.”
The thousand-plus Tea Party attendees who paid $300 to hear her speak (Palin was paid $100,000 for her appearance) probably did not glimpse Palin’s own handy Teleprompter — crib notes written on her left hand.
She could be seen glancing at them during her Q&A with Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips when asked what were the top three things a Conservative majority in Congress should do.
A AP photographer’s picture revealed the words “Energy,” “Budget cuts” (crossed out), “Tax,” and “Lift Americans Spirits” scribbled in ink on the inside of her left hand.
CBS News political analyst John Dickerson said the revelation may give some ammunition for her critics, but also that it matters less than what she says (or doesn’t say) right now.
“We all face a little difficulty getting our words together in public moments,” he said on CBS’ “The Early Show.” “I think it will be the kind of thing the Democrats will use to pick at her, the notion that basically she doesn’t have the capabilities to be president. And this is a way to bedevil her. I don’t think in the long term this will cause her too much trouble.”
But, Dickerson said, scrutiny of Palin is bound to increase if she were to say categorically something she hinted at yesterday in a Fox News interview — that she would run for president in 2012 “if I believe that it’s right for the country.”
“She may still decide not to run,” Dickerson said, “and it’s always better to kind of keep your options open. If she said she were running, then everything she says [is] raised to a higher level. There’s a little bit more scrutiny. She’s being scrutinized plenty enough already, but it would raise things up a little bit more. Now she gets to sort of have it all ways.”
Another of her Q&A comments bound to get more scrutiny would be her admonition that politicians should not promise to work in a bipartisan manner if they don’t intend to carry through on their promises because it builds a corrosive distrust:
“Don’t tell the American people, don’t fake it, don’t pretend like you want to work with the other party on that, because that distrust that is built —and this is what I would work on if I were in a position [to do so] — the distrust that is built makes us distrust all the decisions that are made coming out of Washington and that makes us a less secure nation” — this from a governor who resigned from office halfway through her first term.
Lol Bill!
The Palin is as The Palin Does!!!
Will…Are you certain she did that? I know she said that was what she was going to do, but the last time she made that promise she spent $60K to buy her own books so that she could stay at the top of the bestseller’s list…
Lol Tom! A teleprompter on her hand!! Lol!! Dumb as a rock she is…
“palindrome!” I love it!!! Thanks Mrs. Bee….
Remember when you would watch Little House on the Prairie, and Laura would do something incredibly dumb, or say something really simple, and you would feel embarrassed for her? That’s how I feel when I watch Palindrome.
Word history/origins of “palindrome”
palindrome
“a line that reads the same backward and forward,” c.1629, from Gk. palindromos “a recurrence,” lit. “a running back,” from palin “again, back” (from PIE base *kwel- “move round,” with notion of “revolving; see cycle) + dromos “a running.”
Yep, a dumbass running around in circles. That would be her.
I’m glad Sarah Palin’s little cheatsheet on her hand is making the rounds; I’ve seen this at a few other places too. People need to know this about her.
If she’s this inept and clueless even with a teleprompter on her hand, she’s hopeless. The real Sarah Palin is way more out of it than Tina Fey’s imitations of her.
The part of this whole thing that bugs me is the fact that she re-donated her $100,000 speaking fee BACK to the movement. It’s like, why not just speak for nothing? Maybe she was going to keep it but, yeah, when the story came out she had to think of SOMETHING!
LOL Hill!!!!
Holte I wold guarantee that she watches the replays and pats herself on the back!
Stimpson she was plucked from relative obscurity as the governor of Alaska and whisked right into the spotlight of national politics. She thinks she is qualified because McCain and the Republicans obviously did. She makes George Bush look like an intellectual powerhouse but millions of idiots love her.
BWAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA!
She had to write “TAX” on her hand cheat-sheet?
Wait.
BWHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
🙂 🙂 🙂
Holte, she has that delusional inflated opinion of herself that many U.S. and Canadian kids were brought up to have. So the answer to your question is, She thinks — no, she KNOWS — she’s simply wonderful!
Sarah Palin is a product of the ‘You’re amazing and you can do anything you put your mind to’ child-rearing approach. She is incapable of making an honest self-assessment.
It really is time to leave “that woman” and her disciples behind, I know there’s 30 million plus of them, and that’s a lot of people to leave behind, but the USA has to move on, and move on quickly, we don’t have the time to dilly dally with them. She is only in it for the dough and the notoriety, well she’s got the fame, will somebody please give her $25 million.
@Holte,
You’re right.
Palin takes me right back to the GW Bush press conferences… he’d get through a “tough” sentence in the crap he’d been told to say and then flash that smug jack ass’s grin like he’d gotten away with something.
’cause he had. Big time.
Palin? Same dumb ass grin.

I wonder if she ever watches a re-run of her performances, I get embarrassed just watching, which I can’t do for very long, has to be done in small doses, but if she does watch video of herself, what must she think? How good does she think she is?
People take this dimwit seriously? A big portion of the U.S. population must have ingest copious volumes of lead paint in childhood. At least that’s one theory.
Well I distrust that distrust of those who distrust those who are distrusting….Girl double please!!
“Don’t tell the American people, don’t fake it, don’t pretend like you want to work with the other party on that…”
Girl, please.
