		<description>Me, too Lacy Lady.  I think she&#039;s creeping closer to that day by day.  Naturally, she has no earthly clue that&#039;s what she&#039;s doing.  As if the &quot;tele-palm-ter&quot;, disastrous wig, extreme nonsensical screeching, mini-skirt, and leg-rubbing weren&#039;t cringe-worthy enough, now she referred to Texas as &quot;Alaskas&#039;s little sister state&quot;?  OMG!  I hope every soul in Texas hears about that monster insult.  You CANNOT say that about Texas!!  I can almost see the posses forming as we speak.  Proud, red-blooded Texans won&#039;t cotton to her idiotic comment at all...them&#039;s fightin&#039; words.</description>

		<description>I firmly believe that if the reporting and pictures of notes written on SP&#039;s hand were not true---we would have all been hearing from the woman.
She follows a pattern----deceit -deceit-deceit in all she does and says.
Someday, sometime, she is going to dig a hole deep enought that she can&#039;t crawl out.  I am waiting for that day.</description>

		<description>Does anyone recall posting that the Texas Governor offered the Palins the Texas State Jet to return to Alaska on that momentous day in April 2008 when Sarah Palin says she was leaking amniotic fluid.

Anyone from Texas, who knows someone who could shed some light on this?</description>

		<description>There were also enlargements of video frames and you could easily see it was the same list as in the picture, as well as the video of her reading off of her hand. I noticed that long before the photo surfaced.</description>

		<description>My post with (video) times of left palm forward frame-by-frame shots went into moderation - too many links, I believe; my bad.

In any event, the bottom line of the post was: 

…we see &lt;i&gt;SOMETHING&lt;/i&gt; on the palm of her left hand. [Pretty good pic of &#039;it&quot; @ minute 5:31 on C-Span: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9_kkIEq-hg&amp;feature=related ] 

But &lt;i&gt;what&lt;/i&gt;? What is that “something”? 

Within the videos I watched, there were also a good dozen or so shots of her left palm that showed absolutely *nothing* at all on it -it was bare nekkid …I attributed that ‘nothingness’ to the rapidity of her hand movement and/or to the lighting [out of deferrence to what seems to be the prevailing line of thinking: SP *did* have words written on her hand.] However… 

In all the frames where I did see ’something’, there were only 5 – maybe 8- frames where anything even &lt;i&gt;remotely&lt;/i&gt; resembling the layout of ‘the list’, showed. All the rest of the left-palm-forward frames showed different combinations of heavy/light // long/sort // thin/thick “smudges’… none of the frames showed a consistent ‘layout’. Surely IF there had been ‘a list’, the frames showing it would have had &lt;i&gt;some&lt;/i&gt; consistency, no?

I also find it &lt;i&gt;extremely&lt;/i&gt; odd that out of &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; the media present, with &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; the cameras trained on her, only *one* photographer noticed the ’something’ on her left palm and got curious enough to zoom in on it to see what it was? There were no &lt;i&gt;other&lt;/i&gt; camera operators/photographers in the room with any curiosity and no &lt;i&gt;other&lt;/i&gt; cameras in the room with that zoom in capability? I think that &lt;i&gt;highly&lt;/i&gt; unlikely. 

Think of it from the financial standpoint of the photographer…can you &lt;i&gt;imagine&lt;/i&gt; the amount of money a photo of SP with a ‘crib sheet’ written on her hand, would bring? And you think &lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt; photographer would pass up the opportunity to get a photo of &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; “money shot”? Wouldn’t have heart racings with the anticipation of hawking it to the highest bidder? I don’t. 

I’d be interested to find out &lt;i&gt;when&lt;/i&gt; the photos were given/uploaded to AP from the photographer who ‘captured’ the “money shot” — was it &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; minute 6:35 of the Q&amp;A, or after; and, *if* after, how long after? Long enough after, that the photographer (or someone) could’ve found a pic to ‘enhance’ as a ‘companion’ to SPs weird staring at her palm? 

Call me skeptical, but the ‘facts’ of the one, lone, “money shot” just don’t add up [for me]. I sure do wish there were SOME –&lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt;– corroboration of/for the picture; without one, I think, ‘we’ are just accepting as ‘truth’ what ‘we’ &lt;i&gt;want&lt;/i&gt; to see. And that’s a real pity. beth.</description>

		<description>It cracks me up that her stupid cult followers are defending Palin for writing notes on her hand.  They are saying there is nothing wrong with her writing notes on her hand....people have done it for years,etc.   

First of all, I challenge them to name &quot;people&quot;.  Are they talking about junior high school &quot;people&quot;?

 Secondly, I guess those gosh darn high tech teleprompters are bad, but taking a sharpie to your palm or reading notes is good.   Sheesh.</description>

I cannot imagine Texans being happy that she called Texas Alaska&#039;s &quot;little sister state&quot;!!  

  6000 people showed up for a venue that seats 9500. Thats probably not what Perry was expecting to happen. I bet he thought that with Palin and free music from Ted Nugent,there would be overflow.</description>
