Who requires a full teleprompter set up to speak to an elementary school you're getting  awful snippy about a non Harvard grad using crib notes on her palm...

Yeah, Palin isn't real bright, but that's becoming more and more endearing to the American electorate after months and months of lecturing from the academic sounding "Teleprompter President"...

Hypocrisy, anyone?

Becoming more endearing to conservatives and nothing more. She wouldn't win if Obama died and Biden ran not wearing any pants. The hypocrisy here lies with you conservatives, if you want to start the teleprompter crap even though other presidents have used it then fine. But Palin should get hammered for this, what is she 14? Shit, just take index cards and no one would say shit.

It's probably what she's used to doing when she's unprepared for the task at hand. Palin has never been much of a test taker. Old habits die hard.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that she had to write on both palms AND both feet in preparation for a final.

Even having written those crib notes on her hand, she still couldn't manage to make any sense in that clip.  It was hilarious!  No matter how many times I hear it, I always laugh when she bursts into her trademarked illogical and irrational rambling.  It's a great comedy act, and I am thrilled that she took it on the road.

>calls us out for hypocrisy
>ignores the fact that SHE GAVE OBAMA SHIT FOR READING FROM TELEPROMPTERS DURING THIS SPEECH
>ignores the fact that she can't remember to talk about energy when she's the FORMER GOVERNOR OF ALASKA

You are priceless.  You can't be real.

Would shit bricks if she was put to a Q&A with Dems like Obama did with Reps. I would pay at least 200$ to see that shit.

This petty "Teleprompter" criticism is amusing ... you folks act he is the 1st president to use a Teleprompter to give "SPEECHES". All Presidents have used it since it's invention.

We all know the "Teleprompter" criticism is just a way to compensate for your party's last president .. who was such a ignoramus .. he couldn't give a speech without fumbling even with a teleprompter.

Anyways let me get into Sarah Palin ... Why does she have to use Crib Notes which contains the Typical GOP talking points .. (talking points she has been uttering since she was selected as the GOP VP nominee) to answer Typical GOP questions from GOP voters during a Q&A session????

A Proud Progressive!!!

...this teleprompter bit of yours is only making you look unintelligent.  But I must confess that although your lack of intellectual depth has been obvious since the day you came here, I never suspected that you were this shallow.  Do you really think that this stupid criticism carries more weight than hot air?

You conveniently forgot that President Obama  went into enemy territory and totally eviscerated them  without the use of a teleprompter  or writing on his hand.

He just used the truth

How strange that he never replied to it!  I'm sure you're as shocked as I am.

our first "date" with Sarah???   She read someone else's words FROM A TELEPROMPTER at the RNC convention (9/08) and rocked the room. Face it, Sarah reads well. The republicans/conservatives have since eviscerated her best chance for a repeat performance.  Notes on the hand, very 5th grade.
