This just shows that she doesn't use a teleprompter. It's much more boot-strappy.

andy sullivan is reporting on his blog that that isn't her crib. He says Trig sleeps on a waterboard the Palin's keep in their woodshed. Even though andy has been informed that the story is about crib notes and not a crib he's sticking (among other things)to his story.

But...but...writing on your hand is all bootstrappy. We don't need no stinkin' elitist telepromptors!11!!1!!!

Real Americans don't use teleprompters, duh. So how else are you to remember what it is you're supposed to say?

because she's a strong conservative woman and she frightens us.

I would be in here defending her on this if she hadn't come out with lame, busted Teleprompter jabs, because this is a pretty trivial thing.

But since she DID come out with lame, busted Teleprompter jabs, she has nothing coming.

I can't put into words how f*cking stupid that is.

I guess this is different because teleprompters are modern, uppity, and snooty while writing crib notes on your hand like a kid in a high school is folksy and real "salt of the earth." I shol' would, if I were president... or some shiat.

Cubansaltyballs: Sgt Otter: Those bracelets are supposed to be for POWs and MIA, you dingbat.

I've seen soldiers and marines wear those for POWs or MIA that they never met... is that typical or is it just for family?

Yes. It's to show solidarity for the missing, and to never forget, until all are returned. You may have seen the black & white POW-MIA flag, with the title, "You Are Not Forgotten." Usually most guys wear one for someone who is missing in the same war they fought in, or if they were MIA from a previous war, in the same battalion or division, if they don't have a personal connection to a POW or MIA.

I wore SSG Matt Maupin's on my last tour in Iraq. They actually found his remains about a month before I rotated back to the States. It was an odd feeling having to retire it. I never thought I'd have to. I'm glad I was wrong though. I can't imagine the family having to go through not knowing.

Well, you've got to cut her some slack, she's not all that bright. Remembering all those four things she wrote down is not easy.

wow. she couldn't remember those 3 things?

what a pinhead.

I guess, like Bush, a Budget was too complicated for her, so she'll talk about Tax Cuts.

Alphax: I guess, like Bush, a Budget was too complicated for her, so she'll talk about Tax Cuts.

No, it's just that, like Bush, she thought about budget cuts but decided it was more fiscally conservative to just have tax cuts instead.

I'm sure the 600 attendees were deeply affected.

I don't get the "teleprompter" criticisms leveled against Obama. Every president of the modern age has used it.

And none other than Saint Reagan was the poster-child of teleprompter dependence. And THAT criticism was based on the perception that while he could recite a script just fine, when left to respond to questions unaided, he'd often seem befuddled. Obama has always been able to handle those situations just fine.

I think it's safe to say that the Tea Party Movement is strongly socially conservative. Especially when you have people like Palin and Roy Moore as some of your key speakers and are pretty much sponsored by Glenn Beck.

It might not be GOP but only because the GOP might come off as "too liberal" to them sometimes.

/That name will crack me up until I'm going in the grave.

What is the big deal exactly? She wrote down some talking points. I have done it - albeit on paper - before giving speeches or giving presentations.

I do not read the entire thing - I just use key words or certain phrases to jolt my. I will have practicec the speech and use the key words to keep me on track.

This is the level of competition.

Seriously. This is the level.

And the sad thing? The sad thing is, that these are the expendables, the throw aways that are supposed to fire up the base, and what Democrats are supposed to expend ammunition fighting.

As far as strategy goes, it's not bad. Create another "party" whole-cloth to distract and work in concert with the GOP. Tactically, they are a nightmare, but these are the folks that shave money from those who get fired up, and it gets shifted quietly. Spent on consultancies. Speaking fees. Given to PACs. It is a double pronged approach that is designed to shave the base as close as they can to skinning.

If Democrats really want to make a difference in the next election cycle--then the best thing to do is expose the connections between the Tea Party leadership and Conservative think tanks and PACs. Not just a little bit, but expose the funding connections, because you have to follow the money. Not just follow the money, but expose these frauds for what they are: a cheap bludgeon to threaten Congress with.

Expose the leadership and their connections, and blow it so far open that the public can't ignore it. So far, the hiccups with speaking fees and such for this Convention have been brief enough that it has allowed them enough time to spin. You can't do that. You have to expose this sham for what it is: a scam to get around funding law and to create a false flag campaign under.

This "movement" is amazing to watch as an expression of what the AEI and their fellow travelers will do in order to keep hammering away at regulation and foreign policy--and who they will get into bed with in order to try to keep a hold on my party. The charges of RINO and others for those who oppose these asshats, that's something that we'll have to bear for a bit, but if Democrats want to defang what amounts to the creation of a second party to compete with that is a subsidiary of their main rival, then they have to expose the ties and the funding.

I am not a fan of hucksters and certainly not of con men, and the entirety of this "movement" is sham and mirrors.

Does this mean we have to retire this meme in favor of Sarah's hand?

BrotherMalcolm: I just use key words or certain phrases to jolt my.

You sound horny.

BrotherMalcolm: What is the big deal exactly? She wrote down some talking points. I have done it - albeit on paper - before giving speeches or giving presentations.

Nothing brings out the manufactured outrage like a Palin thread. For them, it's a big deal, trust me.

At least she doesn't have to use a teleprompter when speaking to a class of six year olds. Obama = fail.

bulldg4life: glassa: Having every word fed to you via teleprompter and writing a couple words on your hand are NOT the same thing.

Exactly.

Writing on your hand is definitely infinitely more idiotic.

It's less of a big deal, than exposing this woman as the sham that she is. She holds a journalism degree, yet holds the media in contempt. She loves herself some fiscal Conservatism, yet left Wasilla swimming in debt. She loves to hold those in office accountable, yet decries ethics investigations into her own office as being partisan--when it was brought by the Republican controlled legislature. She loves responsibility, yet walked away from her office. She hates the idea of a teleprompter, but resorts to crib notes that would embarrass her high school aged children.

It isn't a big deal, it's more of the same from this woman. Someone so armored in her own idea of right and correct, that she marches on without much introspection or thought, because that would require her to actually examine her views and positions. She represents the death of ideas to ideology, and the cheers for this only prove that it's better to be popular than smart...

Cheeks - you are correct. How dare I interject while they are frothing!

How much longer are you going to stay with your dysfunctional party? You know, hubie, the blue dogs are the new GOP. There's more sincere concern for spending and conservative values in that wing of the Democrats than in the entire GOP. The GOP has become a PR front for corporate interests. They may say what you want to hear, but damned if they actually mean it.

id do her.

i like her.

she is nature, filling a void.

she is just the kind of person we need in the white house to finally destroy the 24 hour news cycle.

and to ensure the complete and utter destruction of the american empire.

Pretty much, the entire Tea Party movement is a wonderful way to bring out the big guns to get the support of the craziest gun nuts, the most racist asshats, the most conspiracy minded, and direct them to GOP candidates. It is a wonderful false flag to fly, and it allows folks a chance to get the support of the nuttiest, without openly campaigning to them.

The Tea Party is the evolution of Astroturf, and taken to the next level. Less about distraction, than as a disingenuous bludgeon to threaten Congresscritters with and for the AEI and Neocons talking points to be embraced by the masses that those Ivory Tower types don't want to get too close to. Having a "third party" to carry water for them suits their purposes, and gives them the insulation that they need.

She drives us crazy the same way it would drive us crazy if every show in primetime was starring Carrot Top or Tila Tequila. Sure, we could just not watch TV, but, well, come on.

It's really more of a dumbfounded outrage that we cannot escape her more than anything else.

BrotherMalcolm: The media spent more time investigating a late comer to the game than they ever did (or will) investigating this disaster of a Pres (Obama).

Bad taste, dude.

BrotherMalcolm: What is the big deal exactly? She wrote down some talking points. I have done it - albeit on paper - before giving speeches or giving presentations.


It's not that she has notes that doesn't matter at all. If she had a notecard with a couple points on it. I'd say no big deal, she has points she wants to make sure to mention. ((Though I know some would be just as critical of moreseo if she had notes at the Q&A.)) She tries to cheat and pulls it off as well as a middle schooler facing his first big exam.

On top of this she criticizes Obama in almost every one of her speeches for using a teleprompter, something every president has done.

/leaving out that, even using her crib notes, she still sounds like a moron.

I guess now we understand why she went to 5 colleges to do a 4 year journalism degree.

Because she attacks others for needing teleprompters, etc. Nobody would care if she didn't criticize others. But she only proves how much of a phony she really is.

Obnox: This just shows that she doesn't use a teleprompter. It's much more boot-strappy.

Don't you think the Tea Party might be more analagous to Howard Dean jettisoning the hard core crazies on the left to the Green Party in the wake of the 2004 election?

There are some differences in the origin of the organizations, but I think this is a real effort by the GOP to move a little left.

Sarah is the gift that keeps on giving!

/q&d

SkinnyHead: There was nothing written on her hand. Looks like some ink leaked from a pen, that's all.

Then the fact that she was trying to read it is even more disturbing.

By embracing the Neoconservative points possible, and threatening any Congresscritter who might think about breaking ranks with this sort of Astroturf?

No. No, I don't think this is in any way, shape or form of trying to push the party Left. It is very much the opposite of that.

This is not a jettisoning of anyone. It is a false flag to appear to be "populist" to get folks to put pressure on Congresscritters to HOLD THE LINE and NOT turn left.

The Tea Party represents a possible schism within my party, and they are firmly on the side of the most entrenched of the Neocons to KEEP the party from sliding away from policies that have been proven disastrous, but actually admitting that these policies have failed is anathema to these folks.

Or a brain?

She wrote down seven words, and even then, had to cross one out. Call me crazy, but even I can memorize four concepts and code phrases before a gig that's paying me $100,000 to speak at it - even if my handlers gave me those concepts and code phrases five seconds before I walked out on stage. (I've given live presentations to technical audiences, so, yeah, I'm familiar with stage fright, but she's a politician desirous of the limelight - shouldn't even be a challenge.)

In a conference in which she railed against the use of a teleprompter by Obama. Classic.

You libs are so scared of her. I mean, what strong woman doesn't write crib notes on her hand?

Communication can be an attempt to convey actual information, an attempt to convey emotions, or whatever. Little Sarah conveys emotions to the right wing. They lap it up, and it's dangerous as hell.

Sarah's lies and shallow representations of important issues have nothing to do with information, and that's where we are making a serious mistake.

Little Sarah is the front person for the party of corporate greed. Anybody who can get folks to agree with her that Republicans represent "the people" is not communicating based on facts. People are not that stupid.

The right wing is framing the debate to be the feelings of voters. The Democrats can nip this easily, but our communication has to change.

it was a simple branding mistake

her handlers told her to put notes on her Palm, not realizing she uses a Blackberry

Not very many people have heard the speech yet, cause she cutesy smacked her lips about 2000 times throughout the speech. It was the worst part of the speech.

This is going to be a huge week in comedy. She flubbed dozens of lines in that speech, jumped all over the place and restarted a dozen times.

It didn't look like she had put more than 5 minutes to prepare, and that was to write some crap on her hand.

It was 99% attack with constant whining about how her great ideas are not being listened to. She introduced exactly zero new ideas into the speech. Palin brought absolutely nothing to the table other than old lines to attack Obama.

sarah palin.

i cannot even say her name without laughing.

the sad thing is...she makes the united states look mentally challenged, as far as the rest of the known universe is concerned.

anyone who would support this foolish, arrogant person deserves massive amounts of ridicule and scorn.

i have met many women in my travels...and she is the exact type of girl, no matter how cute she thinks she is...once she opens her mouth without a penis in it, the result is pure, unadulterated derp and hurr.

We're not to notice that we have a small, but apparently easily led, portion of the country being agitated by current and former political figures advocating armed, violent action, claiming everything from taxation without representation to forced disarmamentm, to disrupt the current administration solely to benefit a single political party?

The definition of sedition is "rebellion or incitement: actions or words intended to provoke or incite rebellion against government authority, or actual rebellion against government authority."

aearra: Anybody wonder if she used "crib notes" elsewhere and if they helped her in school?

It took her 5 colleges to do a 4 year journalism degree, so i'm betting that's a YES.

I'd almost be willing to give her a pass on needing notes if it weren't for the nature of them. Those talking points aren't things she should need to be reminded of. Does she really need a crutch to remember to bring up tax cuts?

FormlessOne: Delay: People are not that stupid.

No, I'm not kidding. I'm really impressed with how sharp most folks are. The key is the message, it need not be conveying information or facts.

The voters are emotional and it's akin to having a rational discussion with someone who only wants to get you to understand how they feel and that you have to feel just like they do. You can't win playing Spock.

Little Sarah rags on Obama for using a teleprompter. This pitch is not based on facts, every Republican president used them. It's an emotional plea. Therefore someone wrote on her hand. She did not use a teleprompter.

Because of the crossout and shallowness, I think it may have been intentionally displayed. A visual of the Republican pitch. It wouldn't be out of character for them. It may have been someone's idea, not Little Sarah's.

This is so surreal that if someone claimed it was doctored, I would believe it.

I mean, high schoolers on the debate team don't write notes on their hands.

On the upside, for being another blond vapid whore, Palin is much more appealing than the old almost-dead-from-AIDs whore of Ann Coulter.

The people who put things on are mostly REPUBLICANS.

From Printboys favorite photoshop site:
"My guess is that the left is mortified by the picture of Obama with teleprompters set up in the grade school classroom. They have to be.Why else would they be grasping at straws, like fat-ass Michelle in a malt shop, to try and create a sameness here?"

That's some heave duty intellect there. Is Obama using the teleprompter to talk to the kids or make an Education speech after talking to the kids?
Please be honest here,wingnutz.

C'mon you guys.

It clearly reads: "Eggs. Caek. Tacks. [carpet, one would assume] L+H Aquarium Sand." [The last I assume is a local Alaska supplies of piscine pet products and requisites.]

Nothing to see here.

We need to start a new thread with voting enabled for the chops.

Oh dear Christ. Sgt. Otter, turtle-tracks, I love you both so much for starting and stoking the fire. I hope this gets picked up elsewhere.

Despite what the "Teleprompter = the debil" crowd says, there's nothing wrong with having notes prepared for a speech or presentation. I'd have used index cards, is all.

What if Hillary Clinton had done this? The media (the entire media) would be pantsshiattingly excited about talking about it right now.

They didn't even mockingly refer to it on Meet the Press. The cross-out is hilarious as well, she really should of done a rough draft on her foot or thigh fist.

OK, time for my "Sarah Palin's book" story...

I was at K-Mart a few weeks ago, (no, I'm exactly proud of that), and I was approaching a big display of Sarah's book "I'm Mavericky and So Can You" or whatever the hell its called.

A young married couple were looking at her book.
Wife: "Wow, that book is really big." (It's not).
Husband: "That's because she has alot of important things to say." (She doesn't).

I then wandered over to the Automotive section and cried a little bit inside.

/cool story, bro.

Wasilla's budget took a big hit while she was in charge. For one thing, she pushed through a big sports arena the town neither needed nor could afford. If memory serves, she left the town of 6,000 with nearly $20 million in debt.

And I do know for a fact that one of the ways by which Ms Palin served her constituents so well as governor is by raising taxes on the oil companies in Alaska. An actual windfall profits tax based on the price of oil. That tax raise let her cut a bigger check to every Alaskan that year. You're always popular when you're giving money away. Think she'd ever raise taxes again? Especially at the national level?

And she brought in $27 million in earmarks to Wasilla over the second half of her service there. Something else she decries when anyone else does it. So, bring in $27 million in outside money AND leave the town with $20 million in debt, in just six years? That is nearly $8000 spent per person without anyone in the town paying for it - the rest of us paid for more than half of it, and they'll have to pay for the rest of it with interest. While she's gone from the scene, and taking no responsibility.

Also, for as often as the right gets on democrats about the stupidest shiat imaginable, the left sure does the same to republicans. This is one of those things. This is stupid. This does not matter.

dkny: So?

A lot of people do that. I've done it when giving presentations in college before, it's a helpful reminder if there are certain points you want to get across.

This is a non-issue.

Lots of people aren't professional politicians, and lots of professionals don't get caught out there looking at their hand like a guilty 2nd grader, and lots of people aren't supposedly journalism grads who are supposed to have enough professional experience to NOT be caught peeking at their hand.

This is the level of professionalism and guile and wit that folks are looking to as some sort of leader? Seriously?

So, you're suggesting it's okay that Palin is unprepared to discuss the issues because she spent the entire night before at a frat party?

printboy: When you're not even as smart as a 5th Grader...

...get an alt and get caught using him!

Because everybody needs a hobby.

Because writing on your hand for professional matters makes you look like an ill-prepared nitwit.

Obama gets up in front of the consolidated GOP to take open questions without a teleprompter and does more than fine.

And she still rags on him about the teleprompter while using crib notes herself and a lot of leg.

This woman is a ridiculous joke. She's quite literally a mascot for poison.

It's not like she had the Magna Carta written on her hand.
The fact that she couldn't remember 2 catchphrases consisting of 6 words total is astonishing.

dkny: So?

A lot of people morons with the short term memory of a hamster do that. I've done it when giving presentations in college $100,000 speeches to rubes before, it's a helpful reminder if there are certain points you want to get across that notecards are cheap and easy to buy anywhere.

the best part is the sheer hypocrisy of having crib notes written on her hand while railing against obama for using teleprompters

BrotherMalcolm: It isn't a big deal, it's more of the same from this woman. Someone so armored in her own idea of right and correct, that she marches on without much introspection or thought, because that would require her to actually examine her views and positions. She represents the death of ideas to ideology, and the cheers for this only prove that it's better to be popular than smart...

Did you know that you can hold a degree in something and still hold those that practice with in that degree in contempt!? Did you know that?
So no hypocrisy there!
I am a nuclear engineer - I think we are absolutely riddled with red tape, over engineering and inefficiency.

You cannot seriously doubt that he investigation - none of which have held water - are not partisan...I mean come on. The media spent more time investigating a late comer to the game than they ever did (or will) investigating this disaster of a Pres (Obama).

I do not know about the fiscal position of Wasilla - but while Governor Alaska as a whole did fairly well.

I thought leaving the office was silly - and killed her chances for future office - which i am okay with b/c she is to weak - but perhaps she did it b/c it was best for the state while she was such a lightning rod. I do not know.

And comparing the need to be spoon fed ever word no matter when or when you speak to resorting to a few words jotted on your hand - ....you are indeed reaching.

You are not a nuclear engineer.

For a conservative to have to write energy and taxes on their hand shows exactly how much depth they really have on the topics. She is a political dilettante who has no business leading anyone.

Another thing. This wasn't her speech. It was a Q & A session. Did she get the questions prior? Did a staffer write those three and a half things on her hand to refer back to when she got stumped by a gotcha question?

WTF Indeed: The Why Not Guy: Despite what the "Teleprompter = the debil" crowd says, there's nothing wrong with having notes prepared for a speech or presentation. I'd have used index cards, is all.

That's the point. Instead of using index cards like we learned in 5th grade. She uses her hand. Also, its three things! You want to be a leader of anything you need to remember three things.

sex, drugs and rock and roll, then.

that's my platform.

hell...i can screw up the nation as good or better than these clowns.

as much as i hate to agree with bill maher...religion really is the fuel behind sarah nutjob.

if jesus is letting in her kind of christian...i doubt his credibility.

i mean...would anyone here like to spend eternity with sarah palin?

that sounds like hell to me.

The best part? She looked at her hands to help her answer a question about her opinion!

No one ever accused the GOP of a lack of cognitive dissonance.

dkny: Also, for as often as the right gets on democrats about the stupidest shiat imaginable, the left sure does the same to republicans. This is one of those things. This is stupid. This does not matter.

Well, the democrats have two choices when republicans do stupid shiat:
1) Try to reasonably point out why what they did was stupid.
-This does not work in any effective manner, since if republicans could think and reason, they wouldn't be republicans, now would they?
2) Give them the taste of their own medicine. When republicans give you a turd, give it back to them as a shiat sandwich and make sure they all take a bite.
-This doesn't work, either, because republicans have a poor memory and forget that they themselves were doing the same thing not 20 minutes before. However, it does provide a measure of catharsis.

You can choose between two ineffective options; do you choose the one that provides no relief and isn't fun, or do you choose the one that provides no relief but is fun?

-They blame Clinton for not having an exit strategy out of Bosnia (even though it was a UN effort)
but have none for Iraq
-Calling democrats "tax and spend" while driving the deficit up to record numbers during Reagan and Bush
-Claim small government while trying to pass anti-homosexual laws/ 30% increase in federal govt during Bush/ Terri Schiavo
-Calling liberals traitors and anti-American while destroying the Bill of Rights

Yeah, this is nothing new for the GOP. As long as the dimwitws keep voting them into power, they'll keep doing it.

"The governor did have a tanning bed put in the Governor's Mansion," Roger Wetherell, chief communications officer of Alaska's Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, confirmed to this newspaper. "It was done shortly after she took office [in early 2007] and moved into the mansion."

But it doesn't surprise me that people are mocking her for showing respect & admiration for her son.

A question for you liberals: If the end of the world was about to happen, and you had to write "budget cuts" and "lift American spirits" on your hand to stop the apocalypse, wouldn't you? That's all Palin did. She knows the gays and the liberals and the Jews are going to try and elect Obama to a second term...and then it will be too late. When we look back at this, this may be the moment that Sarah Palin rescued this country from teleprompters and government intervention.

I agree. He beat his competition like a drum, taking down both the Clintons and the Rove Machine, the first time. They threw everything they had at him, and he won by the biggest margin in two decades.

I'm more concerned about Romney buying his way into the White House than I am about the self-destructive Tea Party Movement. It's just entertaining to see that this train-wreck has so much momentum; it just keep tumbling and smashing into things.

Somehow? What do you mean "somehow"? They have the Triumvirate of Evil behind them -- Muslims, Nazis, and Communists. The whole VE day and Fall of the Berlin Wall was just a front you see, so they could throw all their might behind billions and billions of people that want to murder America.

Sure, they could just all come over here and kill one American for every five Muslims -- four hold the brave 'Murcan down and the fifth slits his throat and goes AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY -- but that's not the squirrelly Muslim way. They like to do things the hard way, because that's how paranoid fantasies work.

Instead the Muslins are going to convince Obama to create TARP, so that when America is poor from the socialist bailout and can't afford prayers from Pat Robertson to heal them, they'll be forced to get their bad hearts fixed in the same hospital ass hobos, who are also getting their free cancer treatment "handout".

Then, when everybody's lulled into a false sense of security, BAM! Obama springs his trap!

True. Romney will have to raise more money than Obama just so he can spend it trying to convince the fundees to vote for a "cult member."

The Mormons did a lot to get themselves accepted by mainstream Christians with their major support of the anti-gay marriage props, though. Considering the founder of the LDS church once ran for president, it wouldn't shock me if the whole Mormons giving $20M to stop gay marriage thing wasn't a cynical ploy to help Romney get elected. But that's crazy tin-foil hat conspiracy stuff...

Hillary Clinton didn't get the nomination either, but Republicans wouldn't shut up about her and their fantasies of how she was going to run for President. If she's not going to run, you lose nothing and only seem like a petulant retard by biatching that liberals are having fun.

2. To a lot of people, it won't matter that Sarah's not nominated, because they're remember that she WAS nominated at all.

Silly I seemed to notice him crush the GOP recently without a teleprompter, and regardless the situation with the president with the teleprompter was him in front of the media, he talked to the class of students in a different room without a teleprompter. I'm sorry the the truth really hurts.

I llove how the vast majority of us are entertained by this bimbo, laughing and pointing at her obvious failures not just as a politician but as a human being, and there remain some people who are so blind that they resort to calling us desperate, when she is their idea of a great leader.

Let's make a deal folks. When she loses whatever it is she tries to get elected to, if she doesn't quit first, you ALL have to commit mass suicide.

Barring Pat Robertson running for President on a promise to beat gays' heads in with Muslims' heads, every goddam fundie would vote straight R come election time by default. They may not believe in evolution-granted instinct, but goddam if they're not subject to it just the same.

Sgt Otter: I wore SSG Matt Maupin's on my last tour in Iraq. They actually found his remains about a month before I rotated back to the States. It was an odd feeling having to retire it. I never thought I'd have to. I'm glad I was wrong though. I can't imagine the family having to go through not knowing.

I've often thought the worst job to have during WWII was the Western Union telegraph delivery person. Knowing that every time you went to a house with a star in the window someone had lost a son, or a husband, or a father, or... I can't imagine having to do that day after day.

I don't know about that. It would be an interesting test, though. The Tea Party did an end-round on the Republicans in the Mass. senate election, and they aren't even a tight-knit religious organization.

I would think something similar would happen with the fundies. Some fundie would stand up in the name of Teh True Jeebus, and the Republican base would split between Candidate Awful and Candidate Crazy. The Rep politicians are much more lockstep than the voters.

That's even worse. Now you're just being a hypocrite.

She had three themes written on her hand for a 45-minute speech. She has a bracelet with her son's name on it (he's serving in Iraq), not much different from the idea of the "star" flags that families of serving members have hung from their windows since WW1.

Did I miss something, and now Fark is just a referring link to Democratic Underground? There's a lot of sand in the v-jay on this thread.

I wish Sarah Palin would just go away. She's not helping her political cause at all, unless her political cause is to make the Palin family very wealthy.

I'm loving this thread SO much. Especially the [f]right[ened] wingers that have been on the offensive for so long, they have absolutely no idea how to defend! Obama smacked the GOP around in that little game of 140 to 1 without a TelePrompTer, defused that weapon completely, and the [f]right[ened] wingers still reach for it!

Keep up using the inert rounds, Republicans, you panicked little snowflakes.

Whats always struck me as funny is, she got famous by using a teleprompter to give a speech someone else wrote (and didnt even write for her, it was written for any vice candidate chosen and then had words added to make it suit the eventual choice) which she just picked up and read. That speech was in fact the only successful public speech she has ever given. The lulz at the media for reporting it as if it was in some way her words were epic.

And she mentions teleprompters without blushing?

LouDobbsAwaaaay: I don't know about that. It would be an interesting test, though. The Tea Party did an end-round on the Republicans in the Mass. senate election, and they aren't even a tight-knit religious organization.

Interesting. That might not be so bad. It might attract fiscal conservative/social liberals to the Democratic party and have the run be more about whether the candidates are fiscally conservative or liberal, and social progressivism would become de facto, if not de jure.

The marginalization of the right by Republicans and the Tea Party would end up with a resurgence of lessons learned from the blue dog wing oh who am I kidding, it doesn't matter how smart the population gets, half of the them will always be of below average intelligence.

Hardly. We've seen her go-to response 1000 times already. Two hours of her crying and screaming about how they have to stop picking on poor Trig, with senators trying in vain to explain to her that health care reform has nothing to do with her kids.

This made me literally laugh out loud, largely because it's true and reminds me of my bafflement at encountering people who thought the same.

"These lie-berals need to stop targeting Governor Palin's kids!"

"Who? Who aside from talk-show hosts have made fun of her kids? What office-holder has ever done that?"

[blank stare followed by bizarre, canned laughter] "It's funny how SCARED liberals are of a strong woman."

RyogaM: If I pay you $100,000 to make a speech, it better be the best farking speech you've ever made, and you had better have the god-damn work ethic to commit the damn thing to memory or at least look like you committed it to memory.

As for Sarah's speaking fees, they don't hold a candle to Bill Clinton's speaking fees. The following is an excerpt from an MSNBC article in 2006:

"Life after the White House has proven lucrative for former President Clinton, who made nearly $7.5 million in speaking fees last year and sometimes earned as much as $350,000 for a single appearance."

So, um, forgive me for not really giving a d@mn about Sarah Palin's speaking fees, Mmmmkay? It's the epitome of "dog whistle politics" and a really stupid thing to blast her for.

Dr. Mojo PhD: I like how the emails talk about blackballing newspaper access to Sarah,

Some of the stuff in the emails is just awesome in its "You've got to be kidding me..." factor.

One of them was a successful 2 term President. The other quit her job at governor of Alaska.

wydok: I don't understand how this woman got to be governor of Alaska, let alone the COP's VP candidate.

There are about 700,000 people in Alaska.
About 482,000 Registered voters.
In 2006 Palin received 114,697 votes, or about 48% of the total.
The Democratic candidate got 97,238, or about 40% of the total.

In an election that small there is not that much scrutiny of the candidates.

chico_suave: So she had to have wrote the "hints" just prior to the speach (which you would think even a raving moron could remember 4 items during a 45 minute speach). If not, she doesnt wash her hands after using the crapper.

What's funnier is that she had to write down "Energy" - one of her core campaign issues - and "tax cuts" - the entire goddamn theme of the group and event she was addressing.

It's like showing up for a math test and instead of the quadratic formula or pi, your crib notes had the answer to the "Name: " portion of the test.

WTF Indeed:
P.S. If you could smite the twilight author that will be cool too.

OMG YES PLEASE!!!

You know, in a thread that's really about the GOP projecting everything they actually do themselves upon their opponents, its really weird and lame that you would claim that somehow referring to Sarah's speaking fees represents "dog whistle politics".

Bill Clinton gets paid a lot of money because he used to be the President of the United States, and despite some personal failings, is one very smart individual.

Sarah, on the other hand, is a mirage made up of the most earnest, but unsupported, wishes and dreams of her nutball base.

Heh, just read this in the MSNBC article:

"In another e-mail, the couple discussed a rare opportunity to enjoy a date night out without the kids; they saw "Juno," the film about a teenager with an unplanned pregnancy, on March 7, 2008, just short of 10 months before their unmarried 18-year-old daughter, Bristol, gave birth to a son."

So? I dislike Palin as much as the next guy, but aren't there more important things to criticize her of?

You know, like being totally against women's rights, and perpetuating shiat like this because she doesn't support sex education:

I was going to respond, but this is all you need to know.

Sarah Palin governed 698,473 people for two and a half years (966 days, to be precise) before she quit to do other things (while blackballing newspapers, denying access to public documents, and bullying a state trooper). Bill Clinton governed 250,000,000 people for a full two elected terms totalling 8 years (2923 days, counting Jan 20 2001) (surviving constant sniping and harassment from Republicans all along the way).

Even disregarding the fact that Palin was never harassed over a blowjob by a person who gave their cancer-stricken wife a divorce to hook up with his mistress, just looking at price commanded vs. experience:

Clinton's speaking fee (in cents) per person governed per day in office (35000000 / 250000000 / 2933) = 0.0000477 cents per person governed per day in office

Palin's speaking fee (in cents) per person governed per day in office (10000000 / 700000 / 266) = 0.0537 cents per person governed per day in office

In other words, taking into consideration the amount of people governed and the duration of that governing, Sarah Palin charges 1126 times as much as Clinton does by factoring in practical experience.

Doesn't hold a candle my farking ass. Remember that the next time you biatch about liberal elitism and merit vs. reward.
