Of Scribbled Notes And Teleprompters
Over on A Tangled Web, Patty writes about Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocking Sarah Palin for making a note on the palm of her hand for a recent speech…by writing “Hope” and “Change” on his own hand. The irony of Gibbs working for a man who needed a teleprompter to speak at a local school seems to have eluded him, as did the fact that he spelt “Hoax” incorrectly.
As Patty notes, Unfortunately for Gibbs, President Obama had just finished speaking from the same podium about the need for bipartisanship, and the need to “transcend petty politics.” Gibbs’ joke received groans.
Although it is cruel to mock Vice President Joe Biden’s well known senility, Gibbs was also unaware, it seems, of Biden’s recent similar use of an aide-memoire.
And of course, the same trick as used by TheOne – who has a teleprompter with its very own blog.
And rising serenely above the misogynystic nonsense the ever-unflappable Sarah Palin (genuinely, here) wrote a note on her hand when out campaigning for Gov Rick Perry of Texas today saying…Hi Mom. The Left went in to hissy spitting fits of rage.
That’s a definite score for the Saracuda. Go Sarah 2012!
Palin’s hand job just shows all of us what kind of dullard we are up against. WOW and some call her a leader….please.

I wonder how many people actually DO public speaking sans autocue. Trust me, it is not easy and a few scribbled words on your hand is pretty impressive if that is all the prompts required.
Milton – the dullard is the goon in the White House.
