Teleprompter For DUMMIES!

In her speech before adoring fans at the Tea Party Convention, Sarah Palin outlined a program that makes no sense at all (a more detailed analysis to come), which she summed up as ENERGY, TAX CUTS, AND DIVINE INTERVENTION. After criticizing President Obama as a “guy with a teleprompter,” Sister Sarah was busted consulting her dumbed-down teleprompter: HER HAND! What’s worse, this was during the Q&A session, a kind of de riguer thing for politicians with presidential aspirations after President Obama DEMOLISHED House Republicans without the benefit of a teleprompter or notes; they had their notes, but it didn’t help them one bit!


The shocking truth about Sarah’s hand-prop is revealed in all its cheatiness. Unlike President Obama’s tour-de-force, Sister Sarah’s questions were pre-screened, so it was just a matter of the most primitive 5th grade level memorization. This lady's no quarterback; obviously (to use the appropriate football metaphor for the day) there's a only a few plays she can memorize at a time.

Here is the transcript, and video:

JUDSON PHILLIPS: “As soon as that happens what do you think are the top 3 things that have to be done?”

PALIN: “We’ve got to rein in the spending, obviously.” —Glances at hand— “We have got to jump start these energy projects that we have heard so much about.”
