Palin's Cheat-Sheet


I was too busy taping away at my laptop to notice this little high-school trick. Having mocked president Obama for using a TelePrompter - not long after he made mincemeat of Republicans with no such TelePrompter at their retreat - she had to scribble down her priorities as president on her palm for the truly tough-as-nails Q and A she had to endure for ten minutes or so last night.

Written on her hand:

# "Energy"
# "Budget (cut?)"
# "Tax"
# "Lift American spirits"

My favorite detail is "Budget (cut?)". Which just about sums up the real Tea Party agenda on spending. But it also suggests that she was told in advance of the questions she would be asked, one of which was what would be you priorities if you were elected president? Now think about this: she had to write on her hand her priorities as president.

I stand by my belief that none of this matters to the people who support her, and that she remains a very potent, content-free and destructive force in American politics.

But remember too that even before her Glenn Beck interview, she was furiously Googling the Empire State Building in case she was asked any obvious universally known facts about it, and before her debate with Biden, she was buried in little post-card notes on factual basics that most Americans know - but she, of course, didn't.

3. Remember the cheating scene from "Spies Like Us"?

That should be the model for the new Fey/Palin skit. :rofl:

4. No doubt the questions were scripted and she was told what they would be

It is another right wing thing that Obama blows them out of the water on. When the President does town halls, there is no scripting.

But the media never points these character flaws out about the right wingnuts.

5. and here I thought nothing she could do could underwhelm me even more.

I am gobsmacked -- not only with her, but with her devotees and the media that promotes her.
