"So, there's been some buzz in the liberal blogosphere and on CNN over photos and video that show Sarah Palin had some notes written in the palm of her left hand when she was on stage Saturday evening at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville.
As the liberal Huffington Post shows, the words were 'energy','tax', 'lift American spirits' and 'budget cuts' with the word 'budget' crossed out." Mark Memmott/NPR
Conservatives criticize President Obama because he never leaves home without his teleprompter. Obama delivers speeches on a weekly basis on diverse subjects, it's understandable that he needs an electronic device to aid his memory.
But Sarah Palin relies on a somewhat more low-tech means to help remember her talking points: Words scribbled on her hand. When I was in elementary school I cheated by scribbling the answers for a test on the palm of my hand, but when I became a man I put away childish things.
Palin still has a "grade school mentality", and she actually scribbled notes on her hand. It's incredible that Palin needs help to remember such broad topics like "budget cuts" and "energy tax". I could understand if the conservative hottie wrote down the name of the Pakistani leader on her hand, but "lift American spirits"? Please!
The Thrilla from Wasilla is certainly doing her part to lift American spirits by dressing sexy. In the interview in which Palin relied on crib notes, she was wearing a short skirt that made her indistinguishable from the other Fox News hotties.
I pray that Sarah Palin is never elected President of the United States; I can imagine her glancing at her hand repeatedly when she meets with world leaders.

She should not have had to write those words specifically on her hand. It is one thing to write say the name "Medvedev" - remember that question to Hillary Clinton during the primary debates? She was asked the name of the newly elected PM of Russia. She was able to say it. Then Obama was asked and he said "same thing as what she said" and no one made fun of him, but he clearly did not recall the name. I bet you if you are not up on the political scene you cannot recall such things. And, I can see one writing something like that for memory jogger, not the 5 key items that she should know backwards and forwards and when she wakes up from her dreams.
