telepalmpter

In order to have written that on her hand before the interview, she had to have known the question was coming, right?

She couldn’t memorize those 3 things? Especially when they are the same crap she’s been saying for over a year?

She must have the IQ of a mollusk.

Shoter CAK:

Pallin’s intellect = Cindy’s typing.

Many at the Teabagger convention have dreamed many dreams about Sarah Palin’s palms.

EWWWWWWW.

It doesn’t look like there is anything written on that hand. She exposes the palm of her hand on numerous occasions (in general, she’s pretty fidgety for some reason), and it really doesn’t look like there is anything at all written there. I mean, have any of you actually ever caught anyone cheating in this manner? It’s very obvious and hard to miss, and it doesn’t really look like she’s doing it. Maybe the poor video quality obscures the text, but still…

And it’s “REIN in the spending”. If you are gonna engage cheap shots, at least avoid looking moronic in the process. If this is the level on which you are going to engage her, get ready for President Palin coming to a White House near you in 2012. I mean, seriously, President Teleprompter here is getting ready to privatize entitlements and transform the recession into a recession through a spending “freeze”, Congressional Dems are a pack of corrupt jackals who are boasting about their ineptitude and powerlessness, and you think this “expose” will somehow change the political dynamic in the country?

doesn’t look to me like she’s rubbing off the evidence, lools to me like she’s fondling herslef, she’s rubbing her thigh, her knee, her shin and calve while sitting in what looks to be a stripper skirt

Maybe CNN just made a mistake and aired one of the rehearsals.

Remember the meme “George W. Bush is a president you would like to have a beer with”? Well, maybe the slogan with palin is: “Sarah is someone you’d like to take a test with…”

She gave them what they wanted last night, at least the males there – a handjob!

that was snark @7

It ain’t funny, Mussolini wasn’t much smarter, yet he became the dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943. He was promoted by populism and therefore the country was called the Italian Social
Republic.

Palin is dangerous; she is an arrogant, ignorant and lying monster. Democrat should be more intelligently fighting her and her fellow fascist Republican party leaders.

…get ready for President Palin coming to a White House near you in 2012.

and you’re bitching about “moronic”?

We’ll file that one under “maroonish”.

I did a diary on her inablity to control herself on national tv

I think that’s the real story, her lack on intellect is a feature not a flaw for republican presidential candidates, however not being able to control yourself on national tv is another story

imagine what fox and rush would be doing to the first lady or hillary if they went on tv with a stripper skirt and couldn’t keep their hands off their legs

“Sarah is someone you’d like to take a test with…”

LOL. Even though she got the answers wrong?

I got the impression that she did know the questions in advance. She seemed better prepared for them than she did with her speech, it was if she had used her prep time to cram for the questions at the expense of practicing her speech.

I have a feeling that Sarah Palin running for the presidency is seen as a sure-fire meal-ticket to whoever wins the Democratic nomination in 2012. She has tax issues, and the funding of her new home, built just before the Wasilla Ice Rink Extravaganza, has not been brought up yet. She has a lot in her closet, and it may just be a matter of timing.

In any case, the Republicans will be formidable in 2012 because Savior Obama prevented the Republicans being cast out into the political desert for 40 years, by his Christ-like forgiveness of all Republican sins – past, present and future.

With Saviors like that, who needs evil-doers??

Pun went bad sowwy Considering the weather in CA maybe “rain” would have worked even more poorly.

How long after her speeeeh was the Q&A? Do you suppose she actually prepared for this segment?
Man, does she need hair and clothing handlers, but more important, that little listening device thing Bush had on his back during the Debate!

How many colleges did Sarah Barracuda attend? And why so many?

I just watched the tape again, she gets her hand going down her thigh BEFORE she cribs off it, she is not rubbing the evidence off she can’t control herself, it’s nerves but there it is, she cannot control herself

Who’s more moronic? Palin, or the many many blogs that continue to monitor this woman? Her 15 mins of fame are long over, but nobody will let her go away. Why the obsession? She is no political threat to anyone, anymore than Coulter or a Malkin are. Oh wait. Bad analogy. Blogs are obsessed with them too. You can’t say it’s to point out their obvious idiocy, because everyone sees it. Those who don’t, never will. Unintentionally, I fear the blogs are all being used to push these morons into more of a public eye. If the economy doesn’t improve by the end of Obama’s term, even an idiot like Palin would win. What a sad world.

Remember the clueless candidate who didn’t know the “Greecians” from “Freedonia?” When he was losing in Florida the Supreme Court stepped in and anointed him president.

Let’s keep our eyes open and never say, “It can’t happen here.”

Perhaps Sarah had some academic issues with test taking.

Besides, who is more of an idiot? Her Q and A session, or Obama using a teleprompter to talk to 6th graders? Where oh where are the real political leaders in this nation?

That happens when the person doesn’t know what they are talking about.

The Regans were palm reader savvy…but they enough sense to let someone else read their palms.

I’ve said it before and have seen nothing to change my mind, this woman is on pills. I have been there myself. If you saw her Alaska resignation speech, it was quite obvious. She really is to be pitied.

Reading her palm isn’t the weirdest of the ex-gov’s quirks. This is the V=P candidate that didn’t know the press would look into her claim to sell the Alaska gov’s plane on ebay.
‘So why on earth would Palin lie about this, knowing that it would bring scrutiny to this story, and knowing that the scrutiny would reveal that a) the auction wasn’t successful, b) she lost the State of Alaska’s money on the deal, and c) the state’s valuable resource had basically become a luxury for wealthy elites?’

This is some one who doesn’t understand the concept of accountability,

She reminds me of a female George Bush and there was no way a moron like that would ever be elected President. Oh, wait…….

I’m surprised the daily dish isn’t on this but the do have an observation I haven’t seen yet on her speech

Palin adroitly re-wrote the history of the past three months of elections, giving the Tea Party movement credit for Scott Brown’s election in Massachusetts and calling the White House “0 for 3″ in recent elections–leaving out the New York special election where her candidate, the Conservative Party’s Doug Hoffman, lost in a last-minute upset.

“You know,” said Palin of Brown, “he was just a guy with a truck, and a passion to serve his country,” said Palin. Brown, however, was a state senator and state representative whose campaign staffers cut their teeth with Mitt Romney.

we said that about reagan and then got bush, we said it about bush and now there is palin

you know I see a closeup of her reading off her palm, I also noticed that there are a few spots we might be able to view the palm, has anyone tried getting a zoom on that?

THE TEA PARTY CONVENTION

The highlight was to be Sarah Palin’s speech, and the highlight it was. The Alaskan Barbie was in great form and the audience loved it, handing her many ovations.

The speech itself was in no way historic or substantive. But it was a fitting keynote speech, better than one that might be given here by, say, Newt Ginrich, or at a gathering of Democrats by,say, Al Gore. Palin criticized Obama and his policies and filled her speech with platitudes and tea party beattitudes.

The conventioneers got what they paid for.

I agree 100%. Do not underestimate this individual. Someone is helping her and whoever is doing it is not dumb. Democrats need to be careful of these teabaggers as well because the people are blind with anger and disgust against Obama and I don’t think it has anything to do with his policies.

you funny

Her Handprompter

I whole-heartedly agree. Neither Stalin nor Hitler were the brightest bulbs on the tree.

Sarah Palin’s palm, whole photo and close-up of palm.

However, that could have been Photoshopped.

Yep. And between the media, and the online blogosphere, they are all making sure she isn’t forgot. In case she decides to run. We are all actually HELPING her by continually posting about her.

The video has some close up zooms

wow, if that’s not a photoshop just wow

I’m not a member of kos, could someone go there and mention how much she’s fondling her thigh, knee shin and calve?

that needs as much play as the telepalmer

the dark does look suspicously crisp on a digitized closeup

I hope kos covered there ass against a photosho

To answer the question in your title: Barack Obama needs a teleprompter.

I’m no fan of obama but have you seen him using telepromters for a q and a?

or a back pack tranciever?

Just an observation…..Radio blowhard Limpy calls for a “retard summit” and the teabaggers hold their “convention” a few days later………….coincidence?

It looks to me like she got on the wrong end of a Sharpie. Accidentally.

point well taken – but Palin as President is both a bad dream and a possible outcome for those of us on the left.

I pushed stay home in Mass to my fellow left of center neighbors in Martha’s election in order to send a message to Rahm/Obama, but there was a lot of tea party folks who were new to the phone work but doing it and doing door to door for Brown. The GOP vote was the same as in 08, but the message of stop letting the left pretend the Constitution says Freedom from religion so as remove religion from public life was one that had legs – Freedom of Religion – not from religion – will be in 2012. Likewise the small gov/stop deficit rang true for many and will be in 2012.

The fact that the GOP stated “deficits don’t count (Cheney)” – referring to welfare checks for business – needs to be repeated everyday as the American voter has a short memory and a gift for going for easy to remember slogans – forgetting that they are lies based on past acts. Interesting that Brown’s pro-choice position got by about 99% of the right to life crowd.

Palin’s lack of skill and intellect may be an act because many in Mass that I speak to see folks turned off by the “I am smarter than you” attitude of some on the left – again with what is seen as the left’s non-support of the right to be religious in public being seen as proof of that attitude. The Tea Party folks folks are being guided by the YAF folks at that convention to be a “movement” within the GOP – and not a third party – which means hopes of a third party easy Dem win in 2012 are disappearing.

Final point – Brown won because the Dem base stayed home – most because the Health bill is nothing more than a corporate welfare check. In 3 years they may again stay home as the “Democrats just respond to corporations” attitude that has developed becomes rock hard and is applied again but this time for future other than health bill reasons.

People have been using Teleprompters for more than a decade. Why is this an issue for Obama? Do you expect him to be able to memorize his speeches? He would get nothing else done. Some people use written or typed notes. Is that better? Why?

yeah, Sarah had her notes at the podium, big deal

Teleprompters date back to the early 80s. One of the first was used in I Love Lucy so Lucille Ball could read commercials. They are a staple of TV news broadcasters. As I said above….so what?

She’s real good with her palm ask Todd :)

a trick i’m sure she learned in school. thomas jefferson also said, “it is essential for the survival of our republic, to have a well educated populace.”

Palin’s palm or notes would matter not a whit had not Obama’s teleprompter taken such a bashing. And like why did the prompter-bashers even bother?

They have some very nice readable enlargements over at the Great Orange Satan. She certainly did have crib notes on her
hand.

(Speaking about looking moronic: you ought to be more polite when complaining about people misspelling stuff. You might be the next person to do it.)

It would be worse than GW Bush – it would demonstrate that the country hasn’t learned anything from electing someone who takes pride in his/her ignorance.

I’m wondering if she used a gel pen or a fine-point Sharpie. /s

(I don’t think they can photoshop something that well: it’s clearly on the skin, and one of the items is crossed out.)

The q&a was about 5 mins after the speech

Obama can’t do notes at all, since it requires doing three things at once, i.e. looking down to read whilst speaking. Without the Teleprompter, Obama becomes dizzy and weak (like Linus without his blue blanket), and his speech becomes filled with uh’s, aaah’s, etc. Sometimes even his Teleprompter is unable to help him, e.g. Corpsman becomes “corpse-man” to our CIC.

No,I was friends with a mollusk and you Sarah are not as smart!!DOH!

Go back to your Rush Limbaugh reruns and let him give you an opinion

Credit where credit is due: great legs.

Do you realize that this means she had things like “Newspapers = All of them” written on her hand last year?

If she’s reading from notes and still sounds as vapid and uninformed as she does, it’s really frightening to imagine what she would be really just winging it.

These Teabaggers must have directions posted in their bathrooms.

Unzip pants
Pull down pants
Pull down underwear
Directions continued on other hand

I guess she’s a palm reader, as well as a grifter.

No big surprise there.

I watched some of the CNN coverage of this late last night and it went on and on talking to attendees and a couple of other officials at the event. What was obvious and disgusting was that this event attracted about a thousand people and it got so much coverage even though the interviewees were vague and repetitive. During the Bush Administration, there were more than a thousand people in multiple cities all across the country repeatedly protesting the War and there was no media coverage at all. The views of Trancredo and the Pastor were treated as legitimate and not extreme. There is absolutely no critical thinking left in the media.

pmj6, you give Sarah Palin too much credit. Huffington Post has actual close up PICTURES of her palm, with the notes, which say as near as I can read “energy … tax … lift America’s spirit.” You mean to tell me she is too du.mb to remember just THREE talking points? Sheesh! I’d say she’s been caught ink-handed. And she has the NERVE to criticize Obama, who held forth for more than an hour EACH with no teleprompter or notes, answering questions from Congressmen of both parties. Here’s the link to Sarah’s third-grade-style palm pilot: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stefan-sirucek/did-palin-use-crib-notes_b_452458.html … and enjoy.

the most troubling thing about her speech is all the media outlets that broadcasted it live.
this is giving her a legitimacy on par with the president. if you recall, only a few days ago fox “news” cut away from obama’s q & a. i’ll bet they hung on every word of sister’s speech.
cnn and msnbc are ratings whores! this woman is retarded! (if rush can use the word, so can i).
she is a loser vp candidate who got creamed in the last election fer christ’s sake!

My recollection of Sarah Palin’s GRE composite score put her at about the 40th percentile, which is commensurate with her highschool GPA.

“She must have the IQ of a mollusk.”

Take it Back!

Do you have any idea how intelligent mollusks really are?? They’re some of the most intelligent creatures in the sea. Tehy actually learn and remember stuff! These spineless beauties are more intelligent and bolder then 98% of the Democratic party!

http://www.wetwebmedia.com/mollusca.htm

And 99.99% of republicans

That was a nice try by the right-wingers and it looked like it might work if Sean Hannity repeated it enough. Then, Obama took all questions, not pre-screened questions like Palin, from Republcian congressmen for an hour and utterly destroyed the “he needs a teleprompter” stupidity.

He gave clear, detailed and logical answers and knew exactly what he was talking about. Palin would never expose herself to that kind of intellectual exercise. She would flounder the second she had to get away from bumper sticker slogans and snarky insults.

As if the state of politics in America isn’t disgusting enough, the senile John McCain inadvertently introduces the ultimate clown act to our political discourse. This Palin character is beyond the pale, a right wing extremist nut who has been given an open mic by the media, to spout her foolishness, make false accusations, and otherwise perpetuate her fanatical tirades. I think ALL people who support her madness are living in ignorance and are probably of the same hillbilly hick mentality that she is. Otherwise, the extreme wing of the Republican party is using this clown to bad mouth Obama & spread their insane propaganda while they laugh at her behind her back. She is such a fool.

who cares if she had a few words scribbled on her palm. It means she’s capable of giving a compelling speach with few crutch like cue cards or a telepromter. Ever see Obama without a telepromter? The guy is a GD moron… a shell of a human being with NADA inside. Women (by and large the majority attackers of Alaska’s former govenor) are such pety distractable emotion driven creatures.

the palm notes were for the question and answer period.
she had notes for her prepared speech. nothing wrong with notes or teleprompters when giving an address, that’s called being prepared.

I had some trouble reading the writing on her hand, it looks like a kerning issue.

SO WHAT! (if she had words on her palm… it not like she was cheating on a test) Rome is burning and FDL’ers want to diddle! Elitist here need to realize a Jacksonian (power to the people) candidate like Sarah is going to resonate well with majority of Americans. Blogger that dwell on trivia like this come off sounding haughty and boorish. They do themselves and everyone who might be tempted to agree with them a huge diservice.

Thats a bunch of horsecrap!

Isn’t a D still a passing grade? and then add grade inflation

And that (your non-response) is fine example of LOUTISHNESS kelly.. Look I’m not your enemy. I’m saying your attempts to tear down Sarah will backfire by energizing her defenders. Not everyone thinks the way you do Kelly. Those Alaska citizens who got Oil Company money thanks to Gov.Palin like her and what she says (power-to-the-people) resonants with a majority of Americans who do not think like you Hamiltonian top-down stuck-up–elitist self-declared-liberals.

Teleprompers aren’t a big deal–but Rush et al made it a big deal; ergo the “talk from the hand” laffs we’re having here.

I guess you missed Obama’s unscripted, no teleprompter Q&A with the GOP this week? He pwned ‘em.

Those Alaska citizens who got Oil Company money thanks to Gov.Palin like her and what she says (power-to-the-people) resonants with a majority of Americans who do not think like you Hamiltonian top-down stuck-up–elitist self-declared-liberals.

FWIW, the Alaska Permanent Fund has been in existence since 1976, distributing money to the state residents each year since 1982. (Yeah, it’s wiki, but I can find other sources for the same info if you really need.)

Thanks to Sarah the oil companies gave money to the people of Alaska?
You fail to mention that Big Oil got a license to strip Alaska of its oil reserves for pennies on the dollar.
Stop this nonsense about this Teabagger Bowel Movement;this country will never vote for a Theocratic candidate.
You cannot win elections with 25% of the wacko vote,anywhere,anytime.

She used note cards for the speech. The scribbles on her hand were used during the Q&A following.

And for the record, I guess it takes an 19th Century Democratic president to win your praise. Too bad we’re in the 21st Century now.

You’re not very well informed are you… We call you and people like you “low information voters”.

I had respect for Jimmy Carter until he sanctioned genocide in east Timor. Clinton governed as a kleptocrat Republican and caused this the second great depression (aka epic bankster heist) by repealling Glass-Stegal and instituting the Rubin-Summers-Geithner banker take all stragegy… I hate him. Obama? You’ve got to be kidding… ain’t nothing that jackass hasn’t lied about and he hasn’t reversed course one wit from that which his predecessor GW Bush set us on. Maybe I do hate democrats though FDR rose to the occasion and spoke with fire in his belly… Another “kind” of democrat I guesss

Earth to Ricardo,Earth to Ricardo??Come in Ricardo?

I’ve made my point. Its messaging that puts people in office. Frank Luntz gets it (read his book? you should) George Lakoff gets its. Authors of these Trash Sarah blogs don’t. But rather than sully Lisa’s thread and add to this stupefying subject (notes on Ms Palin’s palm or… what color her dress is today how haute couture! NOT!) I shall move on, leave you ladies to your tea… nothing to see here folks

Lisa… please accept my apology. My reply at 85 was intended for dakine01. Keep writing ok?

And I’ll accept the insult.

Coming from you and based on your earlier comments, it allows me to consider the source and react accordingly.

Just for the record, which comment triggered your belief that I’m a “low information voter?”

All I have to say is:A low information voter always wins the day compared to a false information voter.

Sarah Palin:Teabagger Bowel Movement Party 2012

We cant wait!!

I suspect the reality is that Sarah Palin herself knew she wasn’t very prepared and hoped to wing it with bare bones of phrases on notecards that may or may not have been organized into an outline. I also suspect she knew she couldn’t thumb through the cards in the Q&A so she did the palm writing and luckily she wore black so when sweaty palms blurred the ink it would not smear her outfit. (Imagine the disaster if he was wearing that ivory number the RNC bought her! What I don’t understand is why she kept waving her hands exposing the scrawled words like a literary hand puppet.
And I thought I had had short term memory loss.

Ricardo: It’s easier to talk about this than the thin content of her speech- but now off to the real work of a citizen of a declining democracy.

Wish this thread had the edit capacity: a “he” should read she and there should be a close parenthesis after puppet sorry

When you have a racist speaking to other racists,theres is no need to explain anything.All the knuckledragging mouthbreathers get it.
