Palin double whammy! - Busted for notes on her palm!

quote [ Closer inspection of a photo of Sarah Palin, during a speech in which she mocked President Obama for his use of a teleprompter, reveals several notes written on her left hand. ]

She is the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm not sure which is worse: if it was her idea to write the notes on her hand, or if her staff suggested it. The first means she is either in way over her head or is just too lazy or anxious to remember simple notes, and the other would mean that her staff is unable to lead her.

The fact that even after the open Q&A with Republicans on live TV (you know - the one where he eviscerated them?), Sarah Penners is still trying the teleprompter shtick - when it was an absurdly false criticism to begin with (as evidenced by your photos as well as anyone who's ever seen a president give a speech in the last 30 years) is really - really sad.

Obama can't even speak to a group of 6th graders without a TelePrompTer. To suggest his appearance with the Republicans went in his favor (as if saying it makes it so) is simply hilarious

Every time O opens his mouth, he goes off message and his aides spend 2 weeks cleaning up the mess.

The last time he had an open Q&A with the news media he made the infamous 'Stupid Cop' remark and had to have Biden (of all people) babysit the subsequent 'beer with a cop'. He couldn't even get that right.

Every time he opens his mouth it's pure gold (even with the prompter)

By all means, live in DelusionLand if you must.

Of course it's bullshit. He's an admitted paid GOP spam artist. Everything that comes off his keyboard is an already debunked talking point. It's just pathetic. The thing he's referring to? Last week, the president spoke with a 6th grade class - on a stool - for nearly an hour. Following his speaking with the class, he gave a prepared televised speech to reporters who were at the event, with a teleprompter - following him speaking to the class. The right wing echo chamber then took a photo of the teleprompter and the president in the class room, posted it to Drudge Report with a false headline and - bingo! - instant right wing talking point (see: lie). Now - he either knows that what he said is bullshit - in which case he's a lying sack of shit - or he doesn't know what he said was bullshit - in which case, he's a moron. Either way - it's pathetic.

Lincoln arrived by train in Gettysburg on November 18, and spent the night as a guest in Wills's house on the Gettysburg town square, where he put the finishing touches on the speech he had written in Washington, D.C.[12] Contrary to a common myth, Lincoln neither completed his address while on the train nor wrote it on the back of an envelope.[13] This story is at odds with the existence of several early drafts on Executive Mansion stationery as well as the reports of Lincoln's final editing while a guest of David Wills in Gettysburg.

I thought the point was that the right wing (of whom Palin is a figurehead) have been blasting Obama for his use of an auto-cue while she attends an event she would be allowed to carry notes and in an effort to look smart she hides noted points on her hand and hopes no one notices, then she gets her talking points wrong.

If it weren't for the entire Anti-auto-cue sentiment (see: icpenners) this would be a quick chuckle and a non-issue.

For what it's worth, I don't side with either Democrat or Republican- I side with whoever is making the most sense. I back Obama because he's trying to be clear and level headed and do things rationally. I dislike Palin because she's prone to idiotic statements, such as the ones she made when backing Rush Limbaugh in the article I pulled the headline from. (Incidentally, considering that her last child is a "special needs" kid, her defense of Limbaugh seems especially bizarre. I'd have thought she'd be at least a bit offended.)

It has long seemed to me that left/right specturm is a misleadingly simple differentiation which results in arbitrary distinctions.

For example - it is often said that the Right is in favour of reduced government spending and lower taxes, however the Right is also perceived as war hawks who favour military spending.

Another example - the Right is often identified with increased individual autonomy and reduced government oversight - however the glaring exemption is regulation of morality on issues such as gay marriage, abortion, drug and alcohol use, sexual liberties and pornography.

The Right appears to be divided on these distinctions as manifested by the Religious Right versus so called Fiscal Conservatives.

The left has its own contradictions represented by moderates, socialists, labour/union reps and poverty activists - all of whom have very different conceptions of the left.

In the United States - because there are only two viable parties - these internal contradictions (or compromises) are expecially apparant.

In Canada the right was divided for several years into two parties (now merged), and the left remains divided into three parties which cannot appear to cooperate effectively to defeat a common foe.

The problem is that sophisiticated voters have to make complex decisions to determine which of the candidates will favour the most important issues in a manner that the voter considers optimal.

Unsophisticated voters have it much easier, and Palin is the result.
