No Teleprompter Needed! Palin Writes Talking Points on Hand. (PHOTOS)
I thought it was kind of funny when Sarah Palin, in her speech to the Tea Party Convention tonight, criticized President Obama (who just did an hour and a half unscripted back-and-forth with Republican leadership) for using a teleprompter, while reading from her own notes. Apparently paper, the low-tech version of the teleprompter, means you’re brilliant, but don’t dare digitize the words lest you look unprepared or stupid.
But when Palin stepped out from behind the lectern and sat for a series of questions, she STILL didn’t need a teleprompter. The answers to the pre-scripted questions seemed to just flow right off her tongue palm.
UPDATE:
A much better picture has showed up on The Huffington Post.
Yes, Americans who want Palin for President, you can sleep well at night knowing your Commander in Chief has America’s priorities right at her fingertips. She’ll never forget that her three priorities as your president are: Energy, Budget Tax Cuts and Lift American Spirits. It’s a good thing she corrected that typo before policy was affected.
I’m still having a hard time believing that she was actually stupid enough to do this. I don’t know what’s stranger – the fact that she could not memorize six words, that she really doesn’t have any idea what her priorities should be without cliff notes, or that she thought she could read the palm of her hand in front of a room full of cameras without anyone noticing she was doing it. And then there’s the fact that she kept showing her palm to the cameras.
I never thought she’d be able to rival the Katie Couric moment, until now.
Crazy as bat crap! Keep those emails coming foward and hopefully be done with her in the very near future. She’s one dangerous “hootchie”!
Is she reading something written on her hand during that interview? Is that what I saw?
Yes. AKM
Was she wearing a skirt? If so, it was so f’ing short she could have read notes off her vajajay. She had to fiddle with her ass and pet her leg, too.
Classy.
Also noted that when she lost her place in those “notes” she began to lose track of the point she was trying to make. Almost as if she had not familiarized herself on what was on the script.
That “gee whiz, you betcha” attitude wears thin after awhile. The voice is bad enough but why does the media continue to give her airtime in the first place? She will be all over the cable shows tomorrow along with hefty editorials sucking up the airwaves while the pundits analyze her inanities.
And just as an added note: Piper was in the wings!! Does this kid ever go to school? Seriously.
Bwahahahahahahaha! That dreaded teleprompter could have been her buddy tonight. But no! She relied on her note cards and her palm! Damn the Teleprompters!!!! Full speed ahead! Oops….I have to read my notes! Won’t that be obvious? LOL!
Notes on the palm…..I didn’t even try that trick when I was in Jr. High and that was a very long time ago. It didn’t work then!
Who is her advisor? Seriously???
It’s a good thing CNN had those boxes at the bottom–that skirt was way too short for a professional function (and I am being overly generous in calling it such), and it was becoming rather scandalous as they zoomed in on her for the answer. Reading off her palm? EPIC FAIL.
She was using her hillbilly PDA.
Oh to know what was written on that grubby paw…..
Is Track Palin still in the Army ?
I thought he enlisted for 2 years from Sept 11, 2007.
I found her answer about Track a bit odd.
Garbage, garbage, garbage! Her daughter needs to be in school.
Why is she getting the time? He speech was g##awful and so very loaded.
OT: For those who are night owls and look for Shannyn’s youtubes of her TV show – a treat – she’s got them posted on her blog!! I want to watch them slowly as NASA take off is not until after 4 a.m.
Yeah bimbo Sarah had notes scribled in her palm. What a shame after throwing Jabs at President Obama . Pathetic
That is the comander -in -chief America needs. What a joke.
Her fee she says she will not keep, instead she will be giving it back to the cause. Do you think the cause is Sarah Pac?
And does anyone know how many people were there tonight?
Holy Mandation Batman. That’s a $ 100K palm reading.
1st rule of cheating: if you are going to write the answers to the questions on your hand, don’t go waving your hand around, especially with TV cameras rolling.
This might explain why she had to go to 5 different colleges before getting a pity degree. Maybe the first 4 colleges caught her cheating and bounced her butt out.
Maybe it wasn’t answers to the supposedly spontaneous questions, maybe it was some weird symbol put there by her exorcist to protect her from demons and witches!
OMG! She was reading her hillbilly PDA:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtcVMTZkTZQ
I’m so glad you caught this. I was having a debate with someone earlier who didn’t think that even SP could be that stupid.
This pic of her palm looks like it’s been scrubbed a bit (or sweated off) from what I saw during the speech. I backtracked to where she was going on about Biden and managed to freeze her extended palm. There were five distinct lines in very dark ink, the middle one appearing to be a 3-digit number. Hopefully the techies at MSNBC will enlarge it and fill us in. Too funny! High tech teleprompters are elitist in SarahWorld, but crib notes scrawled on the palm are below sophomoric in mine. What a loon!
Wearing black is a requirement when you have to rub the ink off your palm and onto your dress. LOL.
What a fraud – not only her and her bots, but the MSM that keep covering her AS THOUGH SHE WERE A SERIOUS CANDIDATE, AND THEN PUSHING HER ON US! And I include huffpo in this statement.
She is on the first day or two of a multi-day, nation-wide speaking tour, with the purpose of making her name an ongoing, 24/7 household word (like the word ‘the’, for instance), thus ensuring her imminent coronation.
IT COULD HAPPEN unless we get a LOT more active and visible than the tea baggers.
Maybe she had Bishop Muthee transform her hand into an etch a sketch. Kind of like her brain! She shakes her head do and it all goes away. Gears and sand folks, there is no soul behind those eyes.
Let us count the ways….
Cheats on her taxes,
Cheats on the answers for pre-scripted her own people likely provided
Allegations of cheating on Todd
Is trying to cheat on college exams really a stretch? Could explain the multiple college transfers!
Hey AKaurora, what’s the time code where you saw the five lines of writing? I’ve been slogging through the video (with the volume off for the sake of my sanity) grabbing screenshots. (one of which appears above!) If you let me know I’ll see if I can get a clean grab of that one as well and see if I can sharpen it in photoshop
Cheats on Facebook. AKM
safe secure & prosper —
doesn’t everyone want that ?
less government –
how about we start with less WASTE in government
oh yes – rich in resources –
but so much more in other methods that cause less harm to the environment
Saying it and getting it done are two different things
OMG!
Shannyn Moore has the SNL clip of Rahm eviscerating Sarah!
Too funny . . . . .
Still waiting to see what her “cause” is.
Was there more? I only heard her give 2 things that needed to be done. Maybe her palm said “reign in spending” and “God’s resources”.
There’s a ridiculous warehouse sitting…oil, gas and coal here too and they’re conventional, yet rich and ready for us to use them, and too, just want us to walk the walk and to leave them alone to allow them to come to development so will gladly be at our mercy to use until they’re all gone or until the ice melts or idilly all the Jews are back in Israel. Amen. God bless.
Sorry…but, somehow, I fil better.
Very Mae West wanna be delivery: “Noobody messes with Jo”.
not giving it back to the partiers — to the CAUSE ! The Cause is former 1/2 term gov.
She was rubbing her leg to erase the ink off her hand.
An unflattering article about Sarah’s Teabagger speech… on FOX News front page!
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/02/06/ellen-ratner-sarah-palin-tea-party-convention-speech/
She can use the fee to pay all the back taxes….NOT!
Did anyone see a wedding ring on that hand?
Maybe Toadster is SOL now that she queen of the baggers.
Just caught the tail end while channel surfing………what a squawking, screeching voice! The sudden sound of her voice riled my snoozing Cockatiels and they actually sounded better than she did!
I also noticed her rubbing her leg – trying to draw attention and stir up the gents?
Yes, Piper was in the wings, ready and waiting to get her minute of attention – she’s a publicity-hawg already……..great work raising her to be like you, Scarah.

Holy Mandation Batman. That’s a $ 100K palm reading.
“““`
“Holy Mandation” is an understatement!
[I was fixin' to make a post that included the words "hand" and "job" (ref: what the TPers got for their $100K,) but I didn't think it'd pass moderation...] beth.
A year and a half ago, here on this blog, AKM and ‘flatters commenting here had to toss out the praise, ‘you can’t make this stuff up.’ Ms. Palin has proven that when hearing of all things ‘Sarah Palin,’ many synapses automatically link to ‘you can’t make this stuff up.’
Is Ms. Palin the iceberg itself? Or is she the sinking ship ripped by one of many icebergs?
By Ellen Ratner- FOXNews.com
“She went after reading the Miranda rights to the Christmas Day bomber but at the same time she kept mentioning the Constitution and the law. In fact the reading of Miranda rights to non-American citizens was defined by our courts, our system of law, and not by the current Obama administration. However, when you are giving red meat in a red state that is the buckle of the Bible Belt it does not matter that reading of the Miranda rights has been defined by law. It matters more that you are going to be giving a crowd-pleasing moment.”

I think she was wearing the Fox skirt suit. It looks like a requirement for all the women on Fox.
For some background rapping for this thread, I just had to repost Paula’s masterpiece from the last thread. Still laughing at her Mudpup rap. Applause, Paula!
Those funny li’l Tea Baggers crossed SP’s palm with a 100 large for an exclusive Madame Swindler palm reading. Looks like they got…..swindled. Great photo link:

CNN clip of her hand

She’s makin me manic!!!! OMG…please go back to Wasillabilly and maybe make that town part of Russia. For the love of a duck!
From what I can tell from the videos , the crib notes on her hand don’t look like complete words or sentences. It looks like 3-4 letters/numbers. I think it is
a mnemonic device to help her remember complete talking points.
What an F—ing R—rd!
CNN, FOX and MSNBC have all put a bad spin on her showing tonight. I bet she won’t show up with Chris Wallace on Faux News tomorrow (Unless it was already pre-taped). I hope he asks her about the email stuff and the cabin/tax stuff. Should be interesting. I also hope to hear him apologize for his sexist comment about her sitting in his lap. Gag! I wonder what his wife thought of that comment. Popcorn is ready for tomorrow morning!
does someone have a link for the ”hand notes”….
maybe Candies ”loaned” her a skirt
@ 30:
Too bad Ms Ratner didn’t expand on the “was defined by our courts, our system of law,” bit.
I have to wonder if the viewers/readers of Faux News *understand* that ALL laws in this nation MUST pass the ‘Constitutionality Test’ – if the Constitution does *not* support a particular (proposed) law, that particular law is –and rightfully so– tossed out. If, for some odd reason, a law is passed that shouldn’t have been (because it *isn’t* supported *by* the Constitution), it, too, gets tossed out. Constitutionally supported laws, stay; those that aren’t, go. That’s how our system is set up.
Somehow, I don’t think the crowd attracted to Faux is aware of that ‘minor detail.’ I wish Ms Ratner had seized the handed-to-her-on-a-tea-tray teachable moment, to educate them about *how* a proposed law is rigorously ‘tested’ *before* it becomes law…how it *first* is tested to see if it meets the muster (and demands) of “Constitutionality”. beth.
Lets see if I copied this link correctly. Someone on Palingates posted it.
This is about her comment in the speech about ” riding two horses “. Enjoy.

The most pathetic thing is that PALIN KNEW THE QUESTION and still had to cheat!
Sorry if already posted. I saw close-up of crib note on palingates.

Dear AKM:
Thank you for listening to Talibunny’s speech so I didn’t have to. I watched about 30 seconds of the first video and had to turn it off. She really does have an amazingly annoying voice, and it’s not helped by her sing-song reading style.
As others have pointed out, it’s pretty damn rich for her to be making fun of the president’s use of a teleprompter when she’s not speaking extemporaneously but reading off paper.
The crib-notes on the palm of her hand were a laugh riot, though. How stupid do you have to be to need crib-notes to answer pre-screened questions?
Oh, well. LOL.
Thanks for taking one for the team. Again. Also.
Hey, Pups…..AKMudflats offers a lot of information and entertainment on her blog. Don’t forget the green button in the upper right hand corner under her Cook Inletkeeper Muckraker of the Year 2009 Award.
Thanks to the Mudflats for all you do.
This was worth $100K, you betcha. Especially since it was a bunch of teabaggers who paid the bill.
I paid $549 and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt!!!
For their attendance, they got gift bags!
A TPN t-shirt (Tea Party Nation)
A TPN fanny pack
Some printed pages;
A form to order more t-shirts; and
About an 8″ Red plastic TPN Megaphone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrGUE0_tJ3o
Would you want to be seen wearing it!
Thanks, but no thanks!
could her skirt be any shorter????
and what is with that hair????
Junior High is as Junior HIgh does.
It’s not like writing crib notes on her palm is her only Junior High behavior. So why are we surprised?
I just realized the most obvious here….
I’m sure you must realize…..she wrote her ‘ cheat sheet ‘ on her hand with the same Sharpie she brought from Hawaii. So… was she trying to be an ” Incognito ” President..?
It must have worked… because no one…RECOGNIZED HER as Presidential material.
Thanks Sharpie.
Andy Samberg is a genius.
O M G AAAWWDDD!!!
I just saw the Rahm clip on SNL….. I am crying….
That will go down as all ALL time classic. He called her out on every single point. And this was recorded BEFORE the Tea Party speech tonight.
And she whined that Tina Fey on SNL was ‘ mean ‘ to her.
If SNL was this ‘ in your face ‘ with the Rahm bit… just wait till next week when they put together the skit of her ‘ cheating ‘ at the speech tonight. It’s going to happen. It’s viral all over the internet already.
I’m emailing them to encourage it as well. You can too.
http://www.nbc.com/contact/general/
What IS funny about the whole teleprompter thing is now they can’t use one without looking like hypocrites. Imagine the stupidity of making fun of your opponent for using a pretty standard tool to carry out one of the major duties of the job – and then having to challenge him in the same arena.
Oh, wait. They don’t have a problem looking like hypocrites.
OMG, this has been such a fun week!! Sarah reading notes from her palm and I have just seen the SNL skit. It was hysterical.
Another great spoof write-up on her speech at HuffPo:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stefan-sirucek/did-palin-use-crib-notes_b_452458.html
It has an enlargement of her palm and these are the words on it:
Energy
Budget cuts (with line drawn through budget)
Tax
Lift American
Spirits
She is such a nasty piece of work and so disrespectful of POTUS – I wanted to reach and *touch* her when she said this:
She mocked Obama’s supporters: “How’s that hopey-changey stuff workin’ out for you?” she asked.
The interview with Chris Wallace was supposedly taped yesterday afternoon – not sure that I can force myself to watch it today.
What’s that on her wrist?? A band with ‘Palin’ on it? Did she need a reminder of her own name??????
It’s truly unbelievable and you can’t make this stuff up!
GreatGranny2C, I can’t stop laughing. Thanks for the link. Did you notice how energy is at the top of the list? I thought she was the expert on that!
Reading bits and pieces over at Palingates – loved the tweets from Roger Ebert. Then there was another tweet that mentions Palin using Bush’s version….nuke-you-ler. Most of the write-ups that I’ve read so far indicate that she struggled through much of it and did not seem to be at ease and charged up. Do we assume she may be starting to worry with the tax/cabins issue and the release of the emails?
Sarah! Go to the principal’s office.
:::Crying:::Crying:::Crying:::
I am so tried of this woman embarrassing me. I’m an Alaskan. I fish. I hunt. I ride snowmachines. But I’m nothing like her.
GO AWAY SARAH!
She only has 5 talking points, good lord, I could say them without notes on my hand.
SNL has GOT TO get the leg caress juxtapositioned with the palm crib notes.
I can’t believe she was so stupid that she wrote on her hand and then waved her hand around constantly and then LOOKED at it in such an obvious way.
I’m not proud of it, but when I was 14, I cheated on my Spanish vocab quizes with a crib sheet. I was a bit more creative than Sarah and wrote on tan paper that fit in the palm of my hand. If you write ON your hand and get caught there’s no way you can claim the crib sheet isn’t yours.
Actually, when I was a co-site director at day camp, I used to write memos or someone’s phone number on my hand. I wasn’t likely to lose my hand walking around in the woods on my way back to head-camp. However, my co-site director teased me about it and gave me a white board with the message “Quit writing on your hand!” LOL
And honestly, what’s the big deal with the repubs and their ilk if someone uses a telepromter or note cards? I don’t know how SP can criticize Obamba for that. Very few people who speak publically do it without any notes of some kind. Back in my day camp days, we always used written notes when we made announcements or did training sessions. It’s the best way to make sure you don’t forget all those important points. And reading off a telepromter or a piece of paper looks a darn sight better than trying to read your hand and then rubbing your hand on your leg – to get the ink off? Or whatever she was doing.
I don’t think this woman will ever grow up. She seems to be eternally stuck as a petty sniping 14 year-old. Someone take away her allowance and ground her, please.
I remember an episode of MASH, where Klinger was taking a test to try and get into West Point, and everytime Hawkeye asked a question, Klinger would contort and writhe and twist in all different directions to try and read the crib notes he had written all over his body.
I can just picture a Tina Fey skit now, with a short skirt on, and doing an interview with Amy Poehler dressed as Katie Couric, with obvious crib notes written all up and down her legs, her arms, inside her blouse, etc; and after every question that Katie (Amy) asks; Tina (Sarah) wriggles and twists, and raises her skirt to look for an answer, and looks down her blouse to look for an answer and so on and so on.
I can see it now. SNL, KO, RM, etc are going to have a field day with this latest debacle from the World of Sarah Palin.
She’s the gift that just keeps on giving !
Although I’m no longer a resident of Alaska, I feel embarassed to know that she once represented a place I am still very fond of.
I recently spent a little time in the hospital (really missed my computer and reading Mudflats!) and while watching the news on Palin, a nurse came in and watched for a couple of minutes and began shaking her head. We talked briefly and she said she’d migrate to Russia if Palin ever got near the WH. It was nice to know that in this very red state, there are a few blues around!
NotMensa @62 – You are right on with your statement! Some of the freebies (as part of the $349 or $549 tickets) the attendees got those little rubbery bracelets that had Palin 2012 on them! I read somewhere that they were also available for sale in the mall area for $9.95, along with some of that jewelry that was going for near $100.
I did not see that the protestors made any national news, but the Nashville station carried a piece on a few dozen. The major statement they made was that this country did not need “dividers” like Palin and the Teabaggers, and that Palin and her followers needed to realize all the problems shouldn’t be blamed solely on the government, but that the bulk of the blame needs to be on corporations and big business. They were a quiet and respectful group and it was good to see a nice report on them.
I read somewhere that, on her right palm, it says ‘wipe ass, then flush’.
NYDem @71 – Love that idea – I can just picture it also!
CNN is so pro-Palin that it is getting sickening!
With the teabaggers and righties being so against gays and lesbians, I wonder if they were bothered at all by the name of the hotel – GAY LORD.
She simply had to keep bringing religion into her speech, most obviously during the Q&A when she said it is time for “divine intervention”………does she think she alone has God’s ear and that he will do her bidding?
do people wear bracelets for ALIVE service members…. I don’t think I have EVER seen that before….
Report to the Principal’s Office Ms Paylin. . . . .You’ve been caught cheating before……
I think the bracelet is from the Psych ward when they released her to the teabaggers
SNL is a scream…caught the Today show with Andrea Mitchell…a complete waste of money, anyone off the street could do better than Andrea. . . .I just did a survey for and told them Andrea is a big waste, save the money……more Keith and Rachels…real reporters
Good morning All,I would just like to say thank you for last night,I only got as far as ‘We drink ice tea in Alaska”also too,..I just could not listen anymore.So I came downstairs,got on the computer.You all had me laughing the rest of the night.Thank You
But you have to give Sarah points for good “hand” writing.
Reminds me of a grade school level joke.
Old sea captain stalks the deck, with a stern and angry look, muttering constantly to himself. His crew is terrified of him.
Then one day the first mate reveals the secret of what the Captain is muttering.
“Port is left, starboard is right, port is left starboard is right.”
Its the little things that kill you.
And seriously, it is the people who can manage the little things that do get the big things correct, because they are laid on top of a good foundation.
So Sarah, you just showed, again, that your political house is built on sand.

Her fee she says she will not keep, instead she will be giving it back to the cause. Do you think the cause is Sarah Pac?
She will then take it off her income tax and so gets to have her cake and eat it also too.
SNL could never top this. Sarah finally gets revenge on Tina Fey!

That’s not writing on my palm pilot- it’s a birthmark!
OMG,,,,three points? She can’t remember three points for which she stands?
That’s because she is an empty puppet and someone told her what she believes.
It just gets more unbelievable every day.
on her other hand she wrote, 1/4 turn, keep knees together, look pretty.

Maybe its the stigmata of the chosen teabagger?
Now that she has mastered palm reading, will she take up reading tea leaves next? Got it? teabaggers….tea leaves. har,har
Palin muses,, HMMMMMM….what do I see for my future? As the leader of the teabaggers, I see more money, money, money and more suckers giving it to me.
Did anyone notice that when she finished her speech she looked as though she was leaving the stage until the moderator caught up with her. Couldn’t hear what he was saying but it was obvious that she said OK. I wondered at the time if she forgot that she had questions to answer. (I watched on MSNBC)
My guess is that Miss Pageantry Palin will respond in person to the crib notes on her hand. I can just hear her in her “squeekey cutesy voice” saying something like, sure I made notes. Gosh darn I am so passionate about….yada yada yada, that I keep my priorities right under my nose…..what’s wrong with that? Just another “common sense” approach to politicin you betcha.
I am..truely gobsmacked by the palm notes..I could never..have imagined such an act of embarrassing dullness from her..never! Some people..should get ‘on’..the informations from assorte, fellow college students from her tired trail of ..hunting a degree..the grades, the ‘in-class’..attention/lack of..etc. Those years..are going to be ….investigative gold..down the line.
@75 Kirsten, They do if they are trying to score political points off their children. Just another ploy of Palin’s to use her children as props.
Now, let’s talk about why her son was forced to join the service…………………
Wolf Pack @ 14: “$100 K palm reading”
and
trisha @ 85: reading tea leaves next…teabaggers…tea leaves
hahahacawCawCAWCAWCAW!!!
Wonder what the Rev. Muthie would say about $arah progressing her dabbling in the occult?
Juneaudream @ 87: investigative gold, indeed. and gobsmacked here also. Too.
Watch the OReilly interview again. I’m convinced she had notes in her lap then. Nobody sits like that on OReilly, and there’s several long “blinks” that give me the definite impression she’s “cheating.”

The most pathetic thing is that PALIN KNEW THE QUESTION and still had to cheat!
Remember back in 08 at the Saddle Back debate? And John McCain asked if they had already talked about a question that hadn’t been asked yet. Thus showing that the conservative preacher had cheated the debate and given McCain the questions previously.
No wonder McCain likes her so much they are soul mates.
They both cheat and still lose.
If your hair is big and your skirt is short, no one will notice the print on your hand.
Palin’s kids are going to hate having their bodies inspected for crib notes before taking school tests.

What’s that on her wrist?? A band with ‘Palin’ on it? Did she need a reminder of her own name??????
Either that or the door keepers didn’t recognize her, so she needed an id band.
They’re not all frauds; just anyone who gets a nomination in either party. Wake up folks, they good cop bad coppin ya and they all owned by the same slime. America is going down but hey we can make a big ass deal out of the super bowl!
This is so shocking she had so claimed 3 priorities written on her hand that I almost want to believe someone photoshopped this! She certainly achieved smearing the POTUS with things that are true about her including her ability to speak independently of a rehearsed speech. It was predictable she brought up her children, waved her infant again to insinuate people are against the life of her child distorting people’s right to chose.
Her declaration as policy “we win they lose” reveals her disregard for destructive strategies to “win”
I wonder if it would be prudent to frame her malicious statements as “it seems misinformation has been spread by Palin..regarding energy, no consequences for Wall Street, sorry notes for the military, no transparency, death panels including her infant..so we’d like to direct you to web sites available to all Americans…..blah blah..for your equal rights to be informed…” Also comment Palin having quit as Gov appears to be uninformed…turn it back onto her. Personalities like Palin..wolves in sheeps clothing are dangerous.
Imagine if the moderator had ‘surprised’ her by asking a question that she was NOT given in advance:
For example: “President Palin, can you name three of President Obama’s priorities that you agree with?”
The wrist band says “Track Palin” on it.
Remember that the seminar about internet networking and using the internet to organize had to changed.The people who paid $549 to attend this trainwreck had to instead be taught how to get on the internet,how to Google,what a modem is,etc. Is it any wonder they have no idea that their twit of a leader is clueless?
Funny thing is,maybe the convention will have taught them enough for them to get out there on the internet and find out.

Enter LADY MACBETH, with palm outstretched.
Gen. Lo you! here she comes. This is her very guise; and, upon my life, fast asleep. Observe her; stand close.

Gen. Why, it stood by her: she has light by her continually; ’tis her command.
Doct. You see, her eyes are open.
Gen. Ay, but their sense is shut.
Doct. What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.
Gen. It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus wiping her palm and thigh. I have known her to continue in this a quarter of an hour.
Lady M. Yet here’s a spot.
Doct. Hark! she speaks. I will live blog what comes from her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.
Lady M. Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two: why, then, ’tis time to do ’t.
Hell is murky! And I haven’t memorized my speech yet. Fie, my lord, fie! Tea baggers love me and I can fake it.
What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?
Yet who would have thought Obama to have had so much brains in him?
Marnie, it was clearly a wig. No biggie, but it was a wig.
Evidently she says on Fox News today that it would be “absurd” not to run for president.
I think she got tired of all the jokes about her “all of ‘em!” answers.
If she had the 3 answers already written on her palm before the Q & A session started, it’s pretty clear that she already had discussed what the questions were going to be before she even sat in that chair in that WAY too short skirt. She couldn’t even answer questions from this group off the cuff; she had to agree with what questions would be asked so that she could have a canned answer prepared for it. Lamer than lame…
Ahaaa!!!!… see there is ONE positive thing for her from the speech.
She finally found her wedding ring…. probably paid for with the money saved by NOT paying her ” Chalet ” Taxes.
And as I had posted earlier on the thread.
Email SNL and ask them to do the ” Palin Palm Speech ” in a skit for next week. I thanked them for the Rahm skit as well saying it was one of the best ever.

There are such things as in-podium teleprompters. So, who knows if she uses a teleprompter or not?? Just sayin’
Palin coverage is no longer funny. Last night while listening to parts of her tea party yak, I inwardly cried for our Nation. How can an elementary school forensic speaker have such a following? How embarrassing for Americans. But then again, many people of this ilk watch Jerry Springer. The magazine cover of airbrushed Sarah picture using the USA flag as a background trapping is part of the continued image these wing-nuts present as “We are the People.” Amazing what undeveloped minds can spew. The whole Palin trip is a pile of moose nuggets. We will be relieved when the Palin cartoon is over and the true, intelligent voice of our Republic can be heard. Jefferson would cringe at the thought of such an inane mind taking up his positions—Yes, Sarah, he was one of the founding fathers you should have mentioned on Beck’s talk show.
Words fail me. Whenever I think she can’t get worse, she does.
This spectacle only proves the dumbing down of America is true!
Okay folks, on your right we have the teabaggers’ (or ziplocks, as I like to call them) number one choice for POTUS in 2012 who can’t remember her own core principles without notes written on her hand.
On your left you will see the current POTUS who handles:
- two wars
- an economy on the brink of collapse
- a political party who would criticize him if her personally rescued a puppy in training to be a service dog from drowning in a storm sewer
- members of his own party who criticize him for simultaneously being too liberal AND too centrist
- a world record deficit that was dumped in his lap by the previous administration
- critical holes in his top administration that can’t be filled because of a blanket hold by some pork-loving eedjit in Alabama
- a record breaking winter storm that has paralyzed large parts of the east coast
- two pre-teen daughters who are NOT pregnant, doing drugs or breaking laws
AND does it without notes!
Can you imagine how big a hand she’s need if she actually had to deal with the responsibilities of president????
A hundred grand for warmed over talking points and well used one liners. How many people in that room thought they would get another inspirational convention speech that they think she actually wrote and delivered with no teleprompter (or it broke).
The speakers in the afternoon had more passion when they were talking to the uninformed about how to google and send a group email.
Do you think she will still get the same money in the future?
You have to check out Jenkin’s take on her sunday debut at hufpo.
Hysterical. Tina Fey could return to SNL and just hold out a scribbled hand (pan to a close up) and it would bring the house down.
At least there will be no shortage of material to reference if she does indeed campaign 2012. To see someone like her, with one display of ignorance after another still somehow actually be able to have anything she says given serious consideration is probably a sad testament to the state of American politics. Is partisan loyalty THAT important, that people are willing to actually support someone like this? The hypocrisy is too thick to cut with a blowtorch when it comes to Palin, and yet she still is front and center, basking in partisan adulation. Ugh!
Anyone noticed the return of the wedding band?
Lady blah blah doesn’t make speeches, she spews hate rants and stirs up the proudly ignorant. She belongs to the same mindset faction that is responsible for the murder of Dr. Tiller. She is a nitwit, but the wingnuts that worship her
don’t care. She incites this unhinged group, it truly frightens me.
I was only in grade school when Reagan was president. But can anyone remember if he used a teleprompter? Maybe someone somewhere can find pictures and videos of previous republican presidents using the teleprompter and create a website about it. Just an idea. Although it probably won’t change any minds of the wingnuts maybe it might change the minds of the more independent thinking people out there.
Reagan used a teleprompter every time he spoke. Every.Single.Time. You could see his eyes move. He was an actor delivering lines, not a thinker.
All the presidents in the last 30 years or so have used teleprompters. That is what makes this ‘accusation’ against Obama so f-ing ridiculous.
Wow. Passionate teabagger people expecting their Queen to come and deliver them with words of promise and encouragement, at $115,000 a pop, and she can’t make a delivery without notes, and reminders on her hand. Sounds like a person without a vision.
Sarah Palin and the Tea Gaggers must read (if they can) the following: In the Matter of Julius Streicher.
Streicher didn’t work at a concentration camp, he didn’t shoot anyone, he didn’t participate in actual warfare…. he simpley incited, wrote, spoke and broadcasted hate. He was tried, found guilty and hung for crimes against humanity.
Sound familiar?
Now if any of you want Baby Eddie for Press Secretary, Todd for Secretary of State, Wayne Anthony Ross for U.S. Attorney General and Meg Stapletongue for Defense Secretary, please continue to support this person who is a cross between the cloned version of Anita Bryant, Tammy Faye Bakker, Marie Antionette and Frau Goebbels.
I’m not sure which is worse, the fact that she had to write down three points (on her hand) or the fact that she was waving her hand around for the world to see.
She is such a boob (and I’m being nice).
On her other hand……remember to wear panties with short skirt.
Did anyone check to see if that’s Palin’s handwriting or Todd’s?
Wouldn’t it be just precious if *he* was the one that wrote the crib notes on her hand?
(Did anyone get a look at her right palm? Did it say “see other hand”?)
Within seconds of my posting a recommended bible verse for Talibunny after her humiliation, I got a hilarious defense of use of crib notes by the Queen of the Teabaggers.
Maybe this nugget was found on her other hand……
My name is Sarah. If lost, please return me to Alaska.
That’s an awful, shiney, blemish-free wedding ring. Sure doesn’t look like it’s seen almost 20 years of wear.
Desa Jacobsson at 116:
Please check your history.
Marie Antoinette doesn’t belong in that group.
Perhaps you should consider Imelda Marcos instead. Or maybe Eva Peron.
DLBinPDX at 110:
Shortest SNL intro ever.
Tina Fey dressed as Sarah Palin. Holds out hand. Pan to close up of hand.
“Live from New York. It’s Saturday Night.”
And that’s it.
Maybe…..30 seconds.
The more people talk about her, the more likely she will be our next president. For every person who takes politics serious, there’s 500 who only talk politics on Election Day and vote for name that resonates the most.
Priceless1

Substitute: “Notes on her hand” for “Pants on the Ground”
And “skirt too short” for “hat turned sideway”
Would LOVE to see someone do this parody and put it up on YouTube!!!
Here is what was written on the right hand:
“other hand —–>”
Budget a bit too complicated for a talking point, eh?
marnie, that was great.
Apparently, the local news rag, AJC, picked up the Wash Post story of S’error & the Baggies.
Unfortunately, the AJC pickup KEPT the teleprompter harangue by S’error about P-BO, but LEFT OUT the S’error use of handwritten hand notes….
Not surprising, given the redness around here…
The rightwing’s derisive talking point about PO and teleprompters just wilted embarrassingly with the photo of Palin reading her palm cheat sheet.
It’s such cringe-worthy hypocrisy and nastiness that Palin could slam PO in her speech last night for using teleprompters when she herself was reading her note cards…..and her palm (like a jr. high school kid).
From a professional standpoint…..what I see written on her hand (and the actual behavior of writing on her hand) suggests the following possibilities:
a) Palin is much more insecure and nervous than she projects.
b) She may be medicated (anxiolytic? antidepressant?).
c) She’s decompensating psychologically.
d) She’s a dead fish trying to swim upstream (aka “beyond her inherent capabilities”).
e) All of ‘em…..
Spoke to my Nashvillean friend, and he said a LOT of people in the room later pitched complaints when gathering around the halls of the hotel over “paying over $500 to hear nothing” from S’error but complaints/the same thing again. Some of those complainers then went on to say “I could have stayed home and heard the same thing for nothing. What a rip-off”. A different person (not connected to Baggies) who overheard them then said ” you got what you paid for – nothing from nothing is nothing” (channel Billy Preston here).
Friend then went outside and heard similar mutterings of “cheap”, “ripoff” and “not supporting” Baggies in the future. And, some discussions over the cheat palming! Also, too, he heard one really “gutter” oriented riposte about ‘palms’, ‘oil’ and ‘hand jivin’. I’m not going to repeat here, so don’t ask – but I do believe some with good imaginations came put together a pretty good picture/idea of what was said.
Friend had a good chuckle over what he heard.
Dear God,
Save us from her and her supporters.
Sincerely,
Humble Human Being
currently residing in the North American Continent.
What if she spent the afternoon in a Nashville tattoo parlor because she was afraid her notes would be rendered unreadable from sweating?
Ok – and I am sure someone else already put this in a comment but for late arrivals too lazy to go back and ready everything like me – She actually LOOKS AT HER PALM at 0:48 on the clip that is posted here. speechless, maybe I should write something on my palm.
I think she has cornered the market on Sharpies since Hawaii. I bet she buys a box everytime she goes shopping. Sharpie queen.
@mommom 98 – Really? That is a hoot – do you have a link?
@PepperzMom – so the tea partiers don’t want her, Alaska is glad to see the back of her, and no Republican campaign team in their right mind would sign on for 2012…maybe she can get a job at http://www.cliffsnotes.com/
The sad part is dumb Sarah has dead fish following her………and the scary part is, they are many. Huh!!!!
Stupid always think stupid, and always support stupid.
To change the mindset of the dead fish, will need hard work. Not just leaving it to AKM, Shannyn and Citic Diva. This is our fight. All of us.
How do we educate the dead fish?
May be going accross the country. I mean rallies, to bring out the dark side of our dear Sarah.
Brave up and take a vigorous campaign. never assume majority are smart.
This woman is headed to the white house. She has insiders writing speeches for her, which she is good at delivering because she is naturally a mean person.
Her followers just think we are just mean and jelousy about her. That is why Fox hired her,
1. for ratings
2. to get back at her criticss even when they know she is shallow.
GOD HELP AMERICA
Haven’t read all the comments yet, but I thought of something last night.
Pictures/Vid of her obviously peeking @the Palm Pilot while sitting & the smudgy palm seen while standing came out first – maybe hrs before a readable close-up.
Is it possible at ALL that the close-up was faked, taking words from her answer?
There are scenarios for either side.
Some little O’Keefe wanna-be could make it w/ the plan to then use it to discredit the ENTIRE story – tho I hope only the MOST deluded would buy such nonsense, certainly SOME would, right?
On the other hand (hehe oops, npi), any kid w/ minimal Photoshop skill could make it just for the notoriety alone.
Or maybe I’m just nuts, but why did it seem like as long as 3 hrs before the close-up appeared?
I’d hate to see ANYTHING get in the way of this being a crystal-clear example of utter incompetence, ya know. *wink*
P.S.
O/T a bit but who’s writing about the call for Divine Intervention?
The last time I wrote on my hand was in middle school. She fits that mentality, so she doesn’t mind waving her hand around for all to see. We all do it, don’t we?
Not.
Sarah’s response. What a dope!

Just relaying what a friend overheard/saw. Nothing that good ole “common sense” would have told them that spent all them buckeroonies to hear/see her.
I love that th right attacks Obama over the use of a teleprompter. They’re screwing their own politicians who now have to consider doing all their events without the use of one.
Notes On Your Hand – A Ballad to Sarah Palin
by Ilene Flannery Wells
Notes on your hand
Notes on your hand
Lookin’ like a fool with your Notes on your hand
With the bumpit in your hair
Your smirk on your face
Notes on your hand
Call yourself a patriot
Lookin’ like a fool
Answerin’ the questions with your Notes on your hand
Get it up, hey!
Get your notes off your hand
Lookin’ like a fool
Walkin’, talkin’, with your Notes on your hand
Get it up, hey!
Get your notes off your hand
Lookin’ like a fool with your Notes on your hand
At least we now know how she was able to graduate finally from her 5th (or was it 6th? I’ve lost Track) college….Shhh. I’m sure her teachers won’t guess.
Of course she is a ditz. Rather than writing on her hand, she should have had her handlers speak into her ear electronically like most savvy politicians do. Alaska needs to get into the 21 first century, even if the message is aimed at the twentieth.
I don’t know if I’m the only one whose noticed that from the beginning of her political career nationally, I found that her voice annoys the hell out of me. Its like listening to a fingernail on a blackboard. And it went downhill from that time on. Because it became apparent that she is just so “cute” and so empty and has nothing to say. She loves basking in the limelight and gathering the dollars that the baggers throw her way. They really think she wrote a book! Now she’s on her way to Texas to help Perry lose his bid in the primary against Hutchinson. And what was that hair all about last nite? To me she looked like she’d been ridden hard and put away wet. And lets not even talk about her taste in clothes, she almost had a skirt on. Scara is so transparent and has been from the beginning. She doesn’t walk on water, she really thinks she walks under water with a lit candle.
Not only could she not remember the 3 answers to the pre-screened question written on her hand, but she couldn’t get them in the proper order!
Makes me doubt she even printed them herself.
It was bad enough when Mrs. Palin was Alaska’s problem and we in the lower 48 were oblivious of her “charms”. Except of course the right wing opinion makers who shoved her onto McCain and into celebrity. That’s what happens when the little head rules the big head. May they rot in some media hell where an endless loop of “you betchas” echo in their ears through eternity. Now we’re all going to have her shoved down our throats for the foreseeable future because she’s become so marketable. Some might say, for sale. She sure is “um” industrious. I’m complaining and commiserating. God knows, we here in NY State cannot throw stones at your ex-governor’s glass house(s). Look at our winners. But I was in Alaska once and every Alaskan I met was smarter than this chick, more honest, more real. Our ex-governor hired a pro and your ex-governor looks like one. Ours was smart and yours needs hand printed Cliffnotes, literally. We all deserve better. It’s good to read what people with more of the “Palin experience” think about this regrettable phenomenon. But isn’t this prominence of the mediocre and ethically challenged depressing?
big freakin deal,grow up,with so much on the table,most of yo are idiots.
Saw Hillary talking early this morning on the new CNN show with Candy Crowley and couldn’t help but be impressed with the contrast between her and Sarah — Hillary was handling complicated foreign affairs questions with intelligent, insightful answers. Sarah would have called it “gotcha media.”
LOL I’d cry if I had the energy. Look at her followers. Isn’t that scary?
BuffaloGal said on an earlier thread:
She’s reading her speech. – She’s already screwed up 4 times and it’s only 7 minutes in.
She’s also having a breathing problem.
AND daisydem said:
BuffaloGal: I am not watching. Is she drugged? This was my supposition that tonight she would be taking something.
———————
I admit — I could only take it for a little while …….. too much needless slamming of our President, and too much vile talk about how those evil bloggers are lying about her.
BUT, BuffaloGal and Daisydem, I had the same thoughts as you. She could hardly breathe and talked very fast in an automaton sort of way (yeah, fingernails on a blackboard too). My first impression was some kind of upper, one that pumps adrenaline and makes your heart beat too fast.
You could tell she practiced reading the speech, but one could also tell that she probably didn’t write the thing. Certainly didn’t sound like her own.
After I stopped laughing at Palin’s Tea Bagger speech, I wondered how anyone could still admire her after the degrading performance she put on last night. Joan Walsh of salon.com described Palin in terms that even Palin’s non-intellectually curious fans could understand: “mean and dumb.”
—-Walsh: “Wow. This was the Palin we saw at the 2008 Republican convention, the snarling pitbull in shimmery lipstick. I know journalists aren’t supposed to use words like mean and dumb, but I can’t help it. Palin is one of the meanest people on the public stage today. She wallows in it. She loves it! Also? Possibly one of the dumbest. But mean works, and so does dumb. And so do lies, and there were many mean, dumb lies in her speech.”
http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/politics/2010/02/06/palin_speaks?source=newsletter
Now, combine Joan’s observations with popular conservative Charles Johnson’s observations last week on his blog “littlegreenfootballs:”
—–Johnson: “Since I began to break ranks with the right wing noisemakers, I’ve been receiving an average of five hate mails every single day, often more. (snip)
The amount of hate mail I’ve received from angry right wingers is far, far beyond anything I ever received from angry Islamists, or even from angry CODEPINK leftists. And the level of venom and vitriol is pretty amazing. Many of them exhibit cowardly stalker-like behavior, using proxy IPs and fake email addresses to hide their identities, and putting titles on their hate mails that sound innocuous to “trick” me into reading them.”
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/35702_We_Got_Mail!
His hate mail is “far, far beyond anything” he’s received from any other group. Mere politics seem to have very little to do with the hate and venom coming from extreme right wingers.
Putting it all together……the picture that emerges is that “mean and dumb” appeals to the mean and dumb. SP gives them what they want. She speaks their language. She strokes and stokes their anger and meanness. She walks their moral “low road” instead of the high road….. and by doing so she validates their meanness and dumbness. That’s the answer to my question of how anyone could still admire her after that performance she put on last night. It’s that simple.
Hope this isn’t a repeat. Pretty scary, and really makes one think about the possibility of white supremacy getting feet in the door of traditional politics:
a few snippets from The Guardian (British):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/feb/05/tea-party-united-states
“Prejudice and principle brew at tea party meet”
“Tom Tancredo, a former Republican congressman from Denver in Colorado who ran for president in 2008, …..” “invoked the segregationist methods of the southern states, saying that Obama had been elected because “we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country”. Southern segregationist states used to prevent black people having the vote by setting them restrictively difficult qualification tests, a historical allusion lost on few of the delegates present.
“Tancredo went on to call on delegates to launch a ‘counter-revolution’ that would ‘pass on our culture based on Judeo-Christian principles. Whether people like it or not, that’s who we are.’
“That remark received a standing ovation from the audience.”
@110 leenie:
“Okay folks, on your right we have the teabaggers’ (or ziplocks, as I like to call them)”
————
heeheeheeheehee!
what a great term.
Sorry if someone has posted this already, but Democratic Underground has a hilarious thread of stuff written on Palin’s hand. Photoshop extraordinaire!!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389×7663090#7663627
#141 How about Sarah Palin (R, Sharpie)?
#150 Beautiful.
Lee323: “Mean and dumb” is just right. It’s like you read my mind. I’ve repeatedly thought, witnessing Palin’s antics, that she’s one of those people who have just the right mixture of stupid and mean that they’re always into it with somebody, and it’s always the other person’s fault.
Her delivery style–that voice wavering up and down like Mary Tyler Moore’s, hitting the high notes with barely restrained hysteria, saying someting especially bitchy and then pausing for reaction with an “ain’t I cute?” smile on her face like Ann Coulter–is typical of hystrionic personality disorder. I wish I could see a high resolution shot of the back of her hand, because people with HPD tend to have gravelly skin on the backs of their hands.
She’s getting fat. Will they still love her when she tops 300 pounds and looks like a blimpo.
Sarah has to be the laziest pretend-politician in this country. Good grief, she hasn’t studied anything or learned — even accidentally — anything all year, in spite of it being delivered to her on a silver platter. Everything is a repeat, over and over.
This complaint about Obama and the teleprompter is so old news, not used anymore especially since he ad-libbed the take down of the rethugs on their “retreat”. She really lacks a part of the reasoning brain that puts 2 and 2 together and assures you it is NOT 7.
To Sarah, the Constitution means lawlessness?? What a leotard.
Incidentally, no one gets to usurp to a word as their very own, ( i.e. retard) so one can use it to lay claim to being “assaulted” when you were not — when someone uses that word you pretend that you own. I own the word “fat” and anyone who uses that is assaulting me? gedouddahere
The Tea Party speech fell flat on it’s face, hardly getting applause in some places. 600 people isn’t that much of a gathering, they probably didn’t break even on the deal if 1/3 of the proceeds went to Scara off the top.
She didn’t look prepared, had to read too much of the inserts that she hadn’t written and didn’t even understand, that her delivery was jerky and her tone, oh gawd her tone, awful.
It was a low grade FLOP in front of a low grade gang of low-brows.
The next day, she says: “Here I am on TV with Mike Wallace!” …when she was talking to Chris Wallace…dumb dumb dumb.
Her “upper” stash got a work-out this last week end, going to have to get more, it’s running low after all these appearances where she couldn’t begin to keep up without using an upper. Speed talking anyone? Those uppers and resultant downs are going to take their toll Sarah.
It’s very telling that she looked half dead in her speech, such lackluster performance, such lazy rhetoric. The next door she is heading for is marked “exit”. Kick that door open Sarah, barge right through.
Poor ex-governor Winky McQuittyPants. Now she’s REALLY, REALLY A Queen. Queen of the Tea Gaggers. She can wear a little tea pot for a crown, a tea spoon for a sceptor and a tea bag for her orb.
Question: What is palm of Palin’s hand called?
Answer: A HillBilly Teleprompter.
Therefore, too, also, again, then too, again, also.
Even with knowing the questions beforehand, and the answers written on her hand, she still couldn’t make out the answers she’d written, had trouble reading them! And then she couldn’t put them into sentences without stumbling. Are you kidding me Sarah? Now instead of wearing glasses that you don’t need to obscure your off-kilter eyes, you’ll have to wear glasses that you DO need, or your cheatin days are over…also…there.
It was too perfect, trying to bury Obama for his teleprompter and then waving her cheat sheet hand in front of the camera so all could see?! Shocking, the level of her stupidity.
The next day she said Obama could win in 2012 IF he declared WAR ON IRAN!!
She fell flat on her face with that appearance, you couldn’t really call it a “speech” it was a rambling toss up of talking points that she couldn’t deliver because they didn’t compute.
The $100,000 hand reading at the tea leaves cup? Sarah it is tea leaves you read at the tea party, not hands.
With less than 1000 people to hear her speech, she looked completely deflated before she began and she wanted to bail the minute she was done.
Ahhhh, great week end for her lame duckness, practicing her swan song in public.
Her supporters still think she is peachy. Everyone does this according to them. Name one. Name one single politician at any level who has done this in a televised performance. Heck why single out those elite politicians…how about dog catcher or a local wiccan being interviewed on a public access channel? How about a ten year old girl scout or high school athlete. NO ONE DOES THIS ON TV YOU MAROONS!!!!Does stumbling through a bad speech, thumbing through her notecards, make her more folksy and real then someone using a teleprompter? That is basically some notecards you dont have to look down to shuffle. She is mean, snarky, unpleasant, and dumb. Ignorance…meet arrogance.
So if, heaven forbid, she actually does become the commander-in-chief, is she going to write the code to the nuclear football on her hand as well? I sure hope she doesn’t sweat.
Now I’m glad my computer and TV have been down for four days and just got fixed today, so I didn’t watch either of her speeches. I can only stand to listen to her voice for about a minute anyway. The writing crib notes on the hand is so high school, and even then only the intelligently challenged (I’m being PC) students did it. It hard to believe there are so many of them around and, worse, they vote. I understand a sign at the Texas event for Governor Perry read “Home Scholers for Perry.” There are no real regulations regarding home schooling in Texas, so I think it’s a Perry plot to maintain his base.
Laingirl. You are so funny. I laughed so hard, I almost ruptured!
