Fox News: Palin’s ‘Telepalmer’ Notes Were A Clever Plot To Call Attention To Obama’s Teleprompter
Fox News: Palin’s ‘Telepalmer’ Notes Were A Clever Plot To Call Attention To Obama’s Teleprompter
As ThinkProgress reported on Saturday night, paid Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was caught using “hand”-written notes during a Q & A session at the National Tea Party Convention this weekend. Ironically, during the appearance, Palin also criticized President Obama for using a teleprompter during speeches.
On Fox & Friends this morning, the hosts defended their colleague’s Telepalmer notes. Carlson suggested that it was a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention to Obama’s use of a teleprompter:
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence and here’s she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff and she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big long speech.
DOOCY: I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time. [...]
KILMEADE: But to sit there and look at, and do the interview and look down at her hand, I think that is — like you said before, Gretchen — folksy, absolutely, down-to-earth, I can identify. But if you’re going to write on your hand, why not just say, ’staffer, hand me a card.’ And then it would be okay.
CARLSON: Nah, like I said, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we we may never know.
Watch it:
Event organizers admitted the questions were “pre-screened,” but a Palin spokesperson said the former VP candidate had not seen the questions ahead of time. Still, as Huffington Post’s Stefan Sirucek points out, Palin’s “extra help” in front of a friendly crowd is especially ironic because Obama wasn’t using notes of any kind during a recent unscripted Q & A with House Republicans. Obama has also recently held several town halls, where he took questions from the audience and spoke at length without notes.
Transcript:
DOOCY: One of the first things she said, was she took a shot at the guy who used a teleprompter. And yet, they looked at some of the closeup photographs of her hands during something and as you can see, right there, it says at the top, she’s written on her own hand. She wrote the word ‘energy,’ something illegible, then ‘taxes,’ and ‘lift America’s spirits.’ Seven words. And those on the left, a number of people on the left have said, ‘oh look, she’s taking a shot at the guy using a teleprompter, but here she is, she’s a nincompoop who writes on her hand.’
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence and here’s she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff and that she just she jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big long speech.
DOOCY: I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time.
CARLSON: You do?
KILMEADE: I’m personally jealous because I used to get in trouble if I wrote on my palm because my mom explained to me that the ink would get through my pores and I would die, so I stopped doing that in the fifth grade.
KILMEADE: Why doesn’t she just — there’s nothing wrong if she had a card. Just jot a card down. Energy, taxes, hope, whatever it is. But, and then no one has problems looking down. But to sit there and do the interview and look down at her hand, I think that is — like you said before Gretchen — folksy, absolutely, down-to-earth, I can identify. But if you’re going to write on your hand, why don’t you just say staffer, hand me a card. And then it would have been okay.
CARLSON: Nah, like I said, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we may never know.

Does this remind anyone of Pee Wee Herman, when he flubs up, then saying “I meant to do that.”
February 8th, 2010 at 3:44 pm“Brilliant” and “Fox and Friends” do not belong in the same sentence. Or conversation.
Or plane of existence.
Palin is a hack. Plain and simple.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:44 pmAmazing backflip through those flaming hoops with a twist!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:45 pmEveryone stand back I have to sneeze..
BULLLL-SH1T!!!!!!!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:46 pmNah, the palm of her hand is the GOP version of a tele-prompter… Gretchen..
Kilemeade can identify with her…except you all know why he would be looking at his hand..because that’s what fox & friends do every morning to start the day off right…
RIP Sen. Murtha, a Marine Vet…
February 8th, 2010 at 3:46 pmIt wasn’t that terribly long ago when people who showed such an obvious inability to identify reality were institutionalized. Now? They get big money for blabbing their insanity to the world at SaudiFAUX.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:48 pmThey really dont, okay they do, expect people to buy that?
Why didnt she write Obama Teleprompter on her hand?
Bwahahha
February 8th, 2010 at 3:48 pmIt’s amazing the lengths that Fox News will go to to apologize for Sarah Palin’s unprofessional behavior.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:49 pmWhats next is she gonna make a big backwards B on her cheek?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:49 pmAnd Dubyahs gaffes were a clever plot to draw attention to no child left behind!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:50 pmCARLSON: I think she did it on purpose.
You dont say “on purpose” you say intentionally. “On purpose” sounds so unprofessional.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:52 pmWhy is it when someone with an R after their name, or someone that Faux is promoting (who claim to be Independent….yeah, that’ll fly)does something really stupid, the talking heads all claim it was a clever ruse to do or mean something else? With Sarah, what you see is what you get, teh Stoopid.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:54 pmNext to Gretchen Carlson, Sarah Palin is a GENIUS!
February 8th, 2010 at 3:54 pmI think that is folksy, absolutely, down-to-earth. But if you’re going to write on your hand, why not just say, ’staffer, hand me a card.’ And then it would be okay.
Once again, Brian demonstrates that he’s dumb as a box of rocks. No, Brian, it would not be okay for Simple Sarah to write down on an index card the answer to a question that was supposed to have been “unscreened” and unknown to her.
It would have looked rather obvious when she whipped out the card during the Q & A. No, Brian, it was much more sneaky and dishonest of her to write it on her hand and glance down at it as if no one would notice when she got stumped for the answer to a question that she knew she was going to be asked.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:54 pmMaple Street–It also reminds me of Michael Steele. IMHO, it was very immature of her to write notes on the palm of her hand. It was something some of my high school students would do, but they’re not 44 y/o.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:55 pm“Fox News: Palin’s ‘Telepalmer’ Notes Were A Clever Plot To Call Attention To Obama’s Teleprompter”
Right. And Failin’ Palin’s apparent monumental stupidity is simply a ruse to get libruls to laugh at her. The reasons for this is secret…
February 8th, 2010 at 3:55 pmHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
OMFG, that’s incredibly hilarious!!!
Terrorist fist-jab, anyone…?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:56 pmThis is from people who live by a teleprompter. Can we expect to see Faux commenters now diligently looking at their palms instead of the prompter next to the camera?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:56 pmAnother angle, that I haven’t seen pointed out, is honesty. Obama admits to using a teleprompter. He uses it to enhance his speeches, because it is much more effective to maintain eye contact than it is to keep checking notes down in front of him. Palin on the other hand, was hiding the fact that she needed to take notes in order to remember what she wanted to say.
Also, take note of Obama using the teleprompter, he admits to it and there is nothing wrong with it. Palin on the other hand acts like a little school girl who is too lazy or too dumb to actually memorize the answers to a test that were given out to the entire class a few days before, and so she has to resort to cheating.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:56 pmCarlson suggested that it was a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention to Obama’s use of a teleprompter:
– - These people aren’t even pretending to be truthful now.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:57 pmThey will play that Teleprompter card forever, despite all of Obama’s successful speaking performances without one and despite the fact that all presidents have used them for speeches.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:57 pmFox News, the network for alternate reality.
What’s amazing is that Bible Spice is so stupid that she had to list the three things she has included in every speech to date. Was she afraid that she would answer a question about energy with a talking point about terrorism? Was she afraid that her biggest enemy, as a Reichwhiner, is “the left”. Or, perhaps, she only wrote “left” on her hand so that she wouldn’t put the wrong hand over her heart when they didn’t recite the Pledge of Allegiance?
February 8th, 2010 at 3:57 pmLook, we know the morning gang is not going to knock a fellow employee. Of course they didn’t knock her when she didn’t work for Fox either.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:58 pmDoocy writes on his palm all the time? What then is that stack of paper in front of him for?
We all know “F it I’ll do it live!” O’Reilly uses a teleprompter, are these FOX hosts really trying to convince me they dont use teleprompters? Yeh, it was a clever plot, thats why she tried to wipe off the notes on her leg.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:58 pmpete says:

– - I think the truly amazing thing is she knew what question was coming, about what her priorities would be as president, and yet she had to write them down.
February 8th, 2010 at 3:58 pmI bet the other hand had her name written on it.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:01 pmFox is full of shit !!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:02 pmLittle Seanie Vanity is using this incident as a launching pad for his daily rant, too. He makes it sound as if she gave her whole speech extemporaneously without a teleprompter — and totally ignores the fact that her speech was written on index cards that she had to consult frequently.
As with the Fox and Friends morons, Little Seanie is a Palinista and is defending her against the media that “picks on her”. He totally misses the point . . . as usual.
The point is she was advised of the post-screech questions that would be asked and cribbed her response on her hand. This has nothing to do with using a teleprompter when giving a speech.
Instead, it just demostrates what a vapid air-head she is. Just imagine her having a 90-minute free-form Q and A session with Congressional democrats. Or a press conference with “hostile reporters” (otherwise known as non-FoxSnooze, real journalists). She would be barfing word salad and bleeding from her ears!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:02 pmIs Faux News ready to give up their tele-prompters cold turkey?
Or do they need to use “the patch”. (A post-it note in the palm of their hand.)
February 8th, 2010 at 4:02 pmThese people would praise her if she picked her nose during an interview. There is no way they will aver find fault with her.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:03 pmCARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence and here’s she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff
– - From Roger Ailes’ computer directly to your mouth, Gretchen.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:03 pmWow!
What can be said about those airheads trying to spin this into something positive about Palin.
They must be graduates of the Tommy Flanagan (Jon Lovitz,SNL) school of Pathological Liars. After a paarticularly outrageous lie, he would rub his hands together and say, “Yeah, that’s the ticket!”
Yeah, that’s the ticket — Palin did it on purpose!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:03 pmAnd they still don’t get that no one cares Saracuda used a note scribbled on her hand like a jr high student. It is the hypocrisy.
And the fact that she is too dense to even remember 3 key points she is supposed to be such an expert on.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:04 pmNot that I should expect anything less, but the pathetically slavish and wholly dishonest attempts by FOX to legitimize Saint Sarah the Befuddled is nothing short of vulgar and obvious.
She continues to expose herself as utterly vacuous, like an amorphous barge floating on the sea of ignorance.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:04 pmI wonder how the Republican Senators felt when President Obama handed them their ass with his memory?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:04 pm… has anyone heard yet any backlash against the news of how todd palin was essentially running alaska’s government?
when i first heard that news, i figured many righties would make excuses, saying that was what a good woman does, defer to her husband…
… except the people didn’t elect him…
just curious…

February 8th, 2010 at 4:05 pmI wonder if Ailes pays these Fox host bonuses for saying stupid crap like this? Or does he just hire ignorant people?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:05 pmDid anyone else note that the faux blond bimbo had to say it twice so she could be sure that that was what she wanted to say…………”CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with”………..And then agree with herself. HA HA HA. These clowns are so funny.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:05 pmHer other palm had ‘other palm’ written on it.

February 8th, 2010 at 4:06 pmFox News: Palin’s ‘Telepalmer’ Notes Were A Clever Plot To Call Attention To Obama’s Teleprompter
– - I said it before but don’t be surprised if she gets a lucrative endorsement contract from Sharpie pens.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:06 pmCarlson’s next suggestion will be that Vitter’s diaper wearing was a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention for routine screening test for people 50 years of age or older for Colonoscopies …………….
February 8th, 2010 at 4:06 pmXisithrus says:
Her other palm had ‘other palm’ written on it.
Okay thats funny
February 8th, 2010 at 4:08 pmExcuses, excuses, all the time excuses.
Boy these sycophants to Republicans really devote all their time and tiny brain power to excusing everyone’s major and minor gaffes and peccadilloes, as long as they are conservative Republican or tea bagger….
As lame as ‘the dog ate my homework.’
February 8th, 2010 at 4:10 pmPalin could shoot someone in cold blood…with the cameras rolling…hundreds of witnesses…yelling, ‘I’m killing you in cold blood’ while she did it. And these idiots would swear it just was an accident and that she mistook the guy for a moose. They’d probably even photoshop moose horns on the guy in the video. Fox is no more a news network than my storage shed is the Taj Mahal.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:11 pmDoes that ditz at Fox realize when she’s saying Palin is giving a speech off the cuff she’s reading it from a speech written on papers at the podium?
It’s like these bozo’s live in some alternate universe where white means black.
Man they are dense, and people still watch them. Sad sad sad.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:12 pmWhy did she use her “left” hand instead of her ” right”? Is she going to be changing parties to the Dems? Another flip flop?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:12 pmI mentioned on an earlier thread that typing “teleprompter” into the Fox Nation search box yeilds 1,310 articles – mostly slamming Obama…yet Sarah writing on her hand like a first grader is pefecty acceptable? Yeah – really? What’s the big deal?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:13 pmSarah should of just put the crib notes inside of her skirt, then just took it off. Having a Benny Hill moment and claiming God wanted it willed to be for the audience would have sent the polls soaring.
But I don’t know how that would have gone over with the lady teabaggers with their husbands.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:13 pmTheir kidding, right? This has got to be the most stupidest, lamest excuse I have ever heard.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:15 pmlittle known fact – teleprompter technology was invented january of 2009. no one before in the history of presidentin had ever used one before.
how is this remotely an obama slam? am i insane?

The Faux News cafeteria serves raw crap straight from the NYC sewers 24/7. How else would Ailes get these shills to bit so hard on these nuggets?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:17 pmCARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence and here’s she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff and she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big long speech.
This has to be one of the biggest reaches in human history.
“Off the cuff” means not prepared in advance or impromptu , you brainless blonde bim ; not writing notes somewhere above where your cuffs end ………………..Sheesh
February 8th, 2010 at 4:18 pmDoocys Palm: I love you Dick meet me here tonite.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:18 pmCarlson is brain dead along Meade and Doocy. Palin who has a limited education and intellectual capacity is just as bad, if not worse than Bush. Neither could speak extemporaneously about any subject. Obama can think on his feet.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:18 pmYeah. That’s the ticket. I was telling my wife…Morgan Fairchild…yeah…that she meant to write that stuff on her hand.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:18 pmHigh school….
Please, let’s just keep giving her enough rope… she’ll know what to do sooner or later….
February 8th, 2010 at 4:21 pmThe amazing thing is, she shouldn’t need to write down…
1. Energy
2. Cut (budget) spending
3. Lift American spirits
I remembered those items since yesterday and I didn’t have to look them up at all.
Anybody who needs to write that small amount of information down – especially when these are supposedly her core “things” – is a moron, period. I don’t care whether you have that written on your hand, a cue card, a teleprompter, or the forehead of the person interviewing you. If you can’t remember that short list, you’re an imbecile.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:21 pmPalm pilots are so 90’s.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:21 pmPalin was marking incisions for the upcoming surgery on her life line.

Oh yeah that doesn’t make her seem any stupider. She has to take notes on her hands about talking points that she uses in every other speech.
*sigh*
Thank (insert plausibly but unlikely existing deity of choice) that she did not become the President.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:25 pmWhy would we expect anything different from Fox [not]News? Everyone else that’s not considered a Republican–be damned!
February 8th, 2010 at 4:27 pmLOL! Now that is a pathetic rationalization by some pretty desperate tinfoil hat righty nutjobs! LOL! ;)
February 8th, 2010 at 4:27 pmYeah, sure. Cause when I think of honest, off-the-cuff answers; I think of writing notes on my fcking hand. What a bunch of azzholes. Seriously. And I’m sure Sister Sarah WANTED EVERY TEA BAGGER to be thinking of the POTUS while she was giving answers to ‘unscreened’ answers.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:28 pmNoone has mentioned Palin reading answers that someone sent to her on her Blackberry. The President can answer questions without someone texting him answers on a Blackberry, but Palin needs to have answers texted to her from someone else to be able to answer them.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:29 pmCarlson, Doocy and Kilmeade never use teleprompters… do they?
I mean, no one at Fox uses THAT ol’ crutch… right?

Great our country is resting on a bunch of idiot’s libido’s. We are f***ed.
We’ve officially reached that point in the downfall of America where we vote for someone just based on their appearance. Jesus Christ.

If Sarah Palin was president…
“No, we will catch Obama bin Laden and bring him to justice before the Supreme Court! God is overseeing our flocks in Afghanpakistan and soon, Iran will know what Americana freedom is. Can I get a you betcha?!”

What is the deal with the way Gretchen talks? Is it just me? She sounds like she’s had a stroke or has Down Syndrome or something. You’d think somebody would have noticed this by now.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:32 pmTeleprompter using is not really an issue,unemployment is an issue,healthcare is an issue.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:32 pmSarah is making something out of nothing.
Teleprompter has been used by most presidents,vice- presidents..and she herself used them during Republicans convention.
Reagan,Bush,Clinton,younger Bush all of them used them used teleprompters.
Teleprompter in no way is linked to Obama alond,and neither a Democrat or Republican issue.
Is she trying to tell us that she,McCain,Bush,and Cheney are better than Obama in handling the crowd and reponding to their answers..?!!
Everybody knows that she is not even near Obama when it comes to engaging audience with any kind of questioning.
So, what’s Sarah’s point from bringing all of this..?
I don’t see anything.
It is silly…
She did not mention unemployment,health,excessive insurance charging for policy holders,denying and dropping policy holders coverage and many other important issues.
She got the peeling in her hands,but where is the fruit?.
Think he was being “funny”, bela.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:32 pmhahahahahahahahahah
the PEE WEE HERMAN defense??!?! you gotta be kidding me.

Get Mitt Romney to let his hair grow out, sport a beard and sandals and see what happens.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:34 pmSo what exactly does palin not like about Obama’s TelePrompTer use? The one time he didn’t use it during the recent Q&A with republicans he decimated them. If I were them I would be encouraging him to use it. But as far as getting his lines from somewhere other than his own mind, Palin can no longer use that argument.

It’s interesting how you have to come up with a new “(insert name here) Derangement Syndrome” every day to try to explain why every conservative leader you put forward becomes a laughingstock almost immediately.

YOUR LOSING FOOLS
Um, polls show Obama crushing the Wasilla Nitwit in 2012.
Heh.

Desperation ain’t pretty.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:37 pmThe (Simple Sarah’s) right hand services Todd.
Not likely. She services herself with her right hand.
From what I hear, ToddyBoy is on his own.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:37 pmOr maybe she has no short term memory and has to write on herself like in Memento.

Gretchen wears a mini-skirt well. She is T&A for guys who think touching porn casings with melt their hands and eyeballs. Roger Ailes has Gretchen Carlson positioned as the Ann Curry of FNC, just without the brains, courage and heart for her given profession.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:39 pmSo if obama didn’t use a TelePrompTer republicans would stop filibustering literally everything in congress? Thats republican logic, haha! No One can blame obama for the lack of progress in congress, the fault falls squarely on the shoulders of the obstructionist republicans.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:39 pmMaybe writing on the hand is the only cheat sheet Palin ever learned. Simple things for simple people.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:39 pmI would really like to see Sarah Palin go head to head unscripted with the House Democrats for one hour and a half live on national TV. No teleprompters. No hand scribbling. None of her Faux News buddies to bail her out whenever the goings get a little tough
February 8th, 2010 at 4:39 pmCould Palin pass Tancredo’s civics test?
Would people have to wash their hands before taking the test?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:41 pmYeah, come on everybody knows that being clueless is so down to earth and folksy. Lowry, (remember he said her wink on TV made him sit up in attn), is now claiming that learning substantive issues is not rocket science, and Palin has time to learn important down home things before she runs for President, suggesting she bone up on all those books she reads. Apparently he likes the way she speaks to him thru the TV, wink wink. Keep those down home palms clean Sarah because when you’re at Camp David with leaders of Palestine and Israel you’re going to need real explicit crib notes.
February 8th, 2010 at 4:41 pmYes and Japan’s attack on Pearl Harour was just an amazingly clever plot to have their country completely modernized by the U.S.A. The only thing that’s worse than stupidity is aggressive stupidity.

And these idiots would swear it just was an accident and that she mistook the guy for a moose. They’d probably even photoshop moose horns on the guy in the video.
And they’d blame it on Obama.

February 8th, 2010 at 4:42 pmSo Palin’s use of the Telepalmer is really a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention to Obama’s use of a teleprompter?
Fooled me. I thought it was just another example of how utterly unsuitable Palin is for higher office, i.e. she’s not smart enough remember the boiler plate answers to questions she was asked in advance so she’s forced to write the answers to the questions on palm of her hand.
The question that Palin supporters should be required to answer is what if the questions are NOT pre-screened? What if she isn’t given the answer to the questions in advance?
Does anyone with an IQ above room temperature think she could actually formulate an answer all by herself? Really? In what respect, Charlie?
February 8th, 2010 at 4:43 pmDoes Carlson really believe that Palin gave that speech WITHOUT using a teleprompter???
Come on . .
Teleprompters are used by everyone, duh, even republians . .
Except that time President Clinton gave a State of the Union and the teleprompter went down and he gave the speech from memory.
Just like Bush would have done . . NOT!

That has been happening since the dawn of time. Most voters are very lazy, they don’t want to know about the issues, just who looks better on TV. Appearance is more important to politics than substance. It is only on forums like this that people actually pay attention to what a politician actually says and does.

February 8th, 2010 at 4:44 pmWell it’s still disturbing to see in modern society. I guess I expect more out of people so it’s just disappointing that people would vote for Palin based on some childish crush. Can you imagine if everything worked that way: where instead of choosing functionality or effectiveness we picked something like say a car because it was shiny. But lets say that car is missing the breaks and has a gas petal that sticks. That’s Palin.

February 8th, 2010 at 4:44 pmWho’s losing?
Check any poll one wants and one will find that GOoPers are still polling waaaaaay behind President Obama or the Congressional Dems. The economy has improved greatly. There’s some mitigation of the unemployment crisis. No foreign powers or organizations have killed U.S. citizens in one of our own cities. U.S. troops have ceased offensive patrols in Iraq and the numbers are being slowly drawn down. The leading voice of American conservatism is depending on crib notes to remember three phrases she has used in virtually every public appearance in a year and a half. Etc.
Once again, who’s losing?

February 8th, 2010 at 5:33 pmLaugh all you want.
Palin has hinted that she may run again in 2012.
The end of the world by the Mayan calendar is December 2012.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:33 pmThe funny thing is, the speech she’s most lauded for (when her nomination was announced) was – you guessed it! – read from a teleprompter. Of course she claims it broke down and she had to wing it, but it was clear that it was still scrolling and she was reading from it.
The only times she’s cogent are when she’s reading from a teleprompter.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:42 pmPalin may be clever (or devious) enough to pad her bank account, but she is too stupid to ever get elected to a major office again.
She is also too unstable to be controlled by the puppetmasters who back the candidates.
She gave a speech to 600 nuts, and the media makes it seem as it is the biggest story effecting the country.
She will end up another footnote(or handnote?) in history.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:45 pmAdviser to Palin: “Sarah, this isn’t exactly what I had in mind when I asked you if you wanted to use digital media during your speech….”

“Fox News: Palin’s ‘Telepalmer’ Notes Were A Clever Plot To Call Attention To Obama’s Teleprompter”
Then they are not very quick on the ‘uptake’; otherwise Palin would have held up the palm and made a ‘funny’ remark at the opportune time not a day or two later!
February 8th, 2010 at 5:54 pmOk, now the republicans are just acting silly, they look like goofs. An old guy in my childhood neighborhood told me once that, there’s no sence being a goof unless you are going to practice at it.

Then those of us who have enough higher brain function to boycott SaudiFAUX won’t ever have to hear from her again.
BTW. She’s proven that she’s too damn lazy to hold a powerful position like Governor of Alaska. If you are waiting for her to run I’m afraid that disappointment will follow you to your grave along with the ignorance you wear like a badge of honor.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:33 pmhow come the left went on and on about palin’s crib notes on her hand, but I didn’t hear anyone say anything about her disgusting, craven, vile comment about obama should attack Iran to win an election. Slaughtering thousands of innocent people for political purposes and not a whiff of concern from anyone. Sad. The US, left and right is truly, pathetically sad.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:07 pmWhen Palin gave her speech, she brought papers to the podium — she had a PREPARED SPEECH! (Look at the video). She still felt the need for palm notes because the speech was followed by a prepared Q&A and she needed to have the prompts.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:12 pmAnd Palin’s bastard grandson was a clever ploy to point out that President Obama is a secret Islamo-Kenyan leprechaun.

If Palin was president the US would be at war at least with Iran and North Korea(besides Iraq and Afghanistan), maybe planing going on war with Venezuela, China and Russia. And her comments are even scarier when you consider her religious beliefs…that apocalyptic rapture stuff.

She had just given a speech, but she read that from a stack of notes on her podium, not off her hand.
It’s worth repeating what she wrote on her hand:
1. energy
2.
budgetcuts3. lift spirits
That’s it. These three items are the centerpiece of everything she’s been saying since she was thrust on the national stage a year and a half ago. They were her whole 2008 platform. They’re the only thing of substance she’s said since. And yet, she still can’t remember them.
February 8th, 2010 at 7:34 pmWe all remember the people who wrote cheat notes on their palms in school. We didn’t think they were folksy. We thought they were f-ing morons.
February 8th, 2010 at 8:00 pmjust goes to show you, slimy sarah is on the emotional level of a high school freshmen. it’s no big surprise she got caught with her “test notes” written on her hand.

I can’t imagine a legitimate news channel that would provide coverage and analysis for a speaking engagement by one of its hired staff. Imagine if Olbermann went to give a keynote speech somewhere and MSNBC was covering it and trying to come up with explanations for what he said and did – that’s just a violation of basic journalistic practice there. Any real news organization or journalist will tell you there should be a clear line drawn between those who make the news and those who cover it.

I am glad the troll brought up President Obama using a teleprompter to speak to children.
The President is dealing with two wars he inherited, a financial system on the verge of total collapse and the burden of trying to reform health care with an opposition party that is not willing to compromise.
Does our troll really believe that the President had time to write & rehearse a speech for children? The most logical thing to do would be delegate that task to one of his speech writers and read off it the teleprompter. As seen by his pwning the entire Republican party a week ago last Friday, he certainly does not need a teleprompter to get his point across.
Now lets go back to September 11, 2001.
February 8th, 2010 at 9:44 pmPresident Bush was making a visit to a classroom and was informed that a second plane was flown into the World Trade Center. He was so unprepared and intellectually incapable of handling a major crisis that he sat there for 10 minutes and did nothing. Then he flew around the country trying to hide, instead of immediately taking charge of the situation.

Shame the Republicans don’t realize that presidents have been using teleprompter since the days of Eisenhower. Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton and Obama have used a teleprompter.
The teleprompter is basically a fancy version of a prepared text. Like note-cards and when it is used skillfully, it enables a speaker to deliver a speech more effectively because one does not have to look down periodically to read one’s speech. That’s it…nothing more.

February 8th, 2010 at 11:24 pmIt’s amazing the way they defend Palin… I could have never anticipated them going so far as actually saying ’she meant to do that’… ya right foxies.. she probably also meant the whole ‘I can see russia from my window’ and all the other absurdly idiotic things she’s done to make only some 16% of the truly moronic public still like her and her folksy self.
It’s all a clever plan by Palin to reduce her base to only the absolute worst of mankind.. ingenious – it’s working!
I also want to give credit to Elbruce in post #3 for the great response:

Armand sez: “It’s always the Republicans with you people isn’t it?”
Well, sockpuppet, it’s a refreshing change from 8 years of “Clinton Did It!”, not to mention that it is, for the most part, factually correct.
I do blame Obama and the Dems for forgetting that we had elections in 2006 and 2008 which clearly indicated that the American public was sick and tired of the Republicans driving the country off of a cliff. The Democrats were DEMOCRATICALLY VOTED into a majority position for a reason, which has apparently been forgotten in Washington.
But, as for you, your various sockpuppet entities, the obstructionist Party of No and the clueless teabaggers, you can all go screw yourselves.
February 9th, 2010 at 12:12 amAs ThinkProgress reported on Saturday night, paid Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was caught using “hand”-written notes during a Q & A session at the National Tea Party Convention this weekend. Ironically, during the appearance, Palin also criticized President Obama for using a teleprompter during speeches.
On Fox & Friends this morning, the hosts defended their colleague’s Telepalmer notes. Carlson suggested that it was a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention to Obama’s use of a teleprompter.

Armand is a LIAR. Armand is a moron. Armand is stupid and he knows it so he regurgitates what he was TOLD to think. Whether it is true or not doesnt mean a THING to Armand. He spews what he was programmed to spew. Armand is a waste of precious oxygen
February 9th, 2010 at 1:26 amPlease! I wonder if O’Reilly will be talking about Palin’s latest blunder tonight. This is really getting ridiculous, but I think Palin will fade out of Fox rather quickly. She is even an embarrassment to Fox, which is almost a contradiction in terms. It appears that even the slowest of slow have started to realize that ¨Palin is a handicap to anyone she supports. What I can’t fathom however, is this environment of animosity and hatred amongst Americans. We used to call people that had been fed a line of diatribe, that they defended in contradiction of fact, bigots, or racists, or morons. Now it seems that we’ve all forgotten that before all politics, religion, race or sex that we’re Americans first. What good is it to say that I’m a veteran and then argue that gays can’t be soldiers because they will be prancing around in lingerie in the barracks ? What good is it for me to talk about my love for God (any God), then promote hate or deny forgiveness ? People need to follow a piece of aadvice from the President and stop with the blogs and tv cablme hoopla. I’m not saying figuratively to stop watching Fox News, it’s sometimes comic, as is MSNBC et. al. nonetheless, how about going back to the days when people formed their opinions based on fact and not what some obese drug addict says is the opinion to adopt. Forming a viable third party is a great idea, it’sAmerican, it could help or at the very least become a

Tea-Party Convention: Lessons on Palin and the Movement
At one point on Saturday, some disgruntled Tennessee tea-party activists held a press conference to complain about the cost of attending the event ($549 per person), which they say excluded many supporters. But when asked whether they begrudged Sarah Palin her reported $100,000 speaking fee, they blanched. “Of course not. I love Sarah Palin, we – I think it’s safe to say we – all love Sarah Palin,” said one of those complaining about ticket prices that presumably helped to pay for her keynote speech. A gushing love of Palin was, in fact, a major point of consensus at the convention. And she loved them right back. “America is ready for another revolution!” she enthused as the audience popped to their feet for the first of many ovations.

February 9th, 2010 at 9:56 amI think she said it intentionally, in order to sound folksy, absolutely, down-to-earth, I can identify.

February 10th, 2010 at 2:23 amMaybe the Mayans foresaw that the “Arctic Circle Jerk” was going to win the presidency in 2012 and decided that the world was pretty much screwed past December.
