Hi Mom.
That’s what Sarah Palin wrote on her hand today, technically, before speaking at a campaign rally for Rick Perry in Texas.
“Hi Mom” can also be loosely translated as “F-U, Lefties”.
Here’s what Sarah Palin did today, and why it’s not only brilliant, but it’s the chief reason this woman will be our 45th President.
She hit the Left back, in a subtle way that drives them crazy. THAT, friends, is quite an art form. We respect everyone alive who practices this sort of Fu.
Palin knew the Left, particularly the Huffington Post, has been trying to create an issue of several words Palin wrote on her hand before the Tea Party Convention speech yesterday: Energy, Taxes, American Spirit.
We do this too, FYI, whenever we have to do any public speaking, since we don’t usually take notecards with us or have a podium in front of us. We just write down a few key words, on our palm, so that we cover the three or four things we really wanted to talk about…lest we miss one of them. Unlike the current president, we don’t have a TelePrompTer traveling with us everywhere we go. Neither does Palin.
We hope Palin makes the “Hi Mom” thing a regular inside-joke.
The Huffalumps tried to make an issue of her palm-notes…and obsessed over staring at pictures of them yesterday…so Palin sent them a message today, letting them know she’s aware they are scrutinizing her palms…so she might as well send her Mom a message.
Those of you who met Mrs. Heath on Palin’s book tour have told us she’s a VERY nice woman (Mr. Heath too)…so we say “Hi Sarah’s Mom” today too.
Palin is quick with responses to the lunatics on the Left, which is remarkable. She gets in front of a story before it becomes an issue. She hits back hard when needed, but can use more subtle smacks when those are more appropriate.
We think she effectively disarmed this issue, in a humorous, fun way that’s relatable to average Americans.
Her ninja throwing star Facebook dispatches are well-crafted and deadly to her opponents.
Today, she proved her more subtle hits can be just as effective.
This woman has all the skills she needs to become President in two years.
All that’s missing is her ground team…of which we, and hopefully YOU, will surely be a part.
Go, Sarah, Go!
What was that quote, “Evil triumphs when good men don’t point at it and laugh”?
When I write notes on my hand I wind up with ink on my face :p
“I just had a dem attorney walk by me joking to another attorney about notes on his hand”
You mean the sort of lawyers that have piles of paper in front of them whenever they have to speak in public? Or when they do give long discursions without a piece of paper to read from, sound like complete robots?
I, for one, always speak extemporaneously in public. I think it looks better. But I’m in the minority. The extreme minority.
Oh, hold on - that wasn’t MY post on DU - I was just showing it here as an example of the futility of anyone trying to talk the barking moonbats into any sort of common sense. I find it funny how hysterical the loony lefties get at the mere mention (or sight) of Sarah.
Their hatred is awfully hard on their spirits. It makes them depressed. Good luck with your other half. My Hubby likes Sarah.
To quote Newsweek... “Run, Sarah Run”!
God have mercy, I miss that man. :(
He knew how to take personal criticism and remove the sting from it. And he was so artful at it, that even his opponents applauded him. Remember his response during the debate when he was asked about his age? I thought Mondale was going to hemorrhage from trying not to laugh.
I'd get ink everywhere. lol
I usually like your posts, but I gotta disagree with you on this one. First, she's not a candidate (yet). Second, this ends this ridiculous ****gate issue, without making it into any kind of 'battle'.
She could have been mean-spirited by writing something like 'hand teleprompter' on her hand, or done nothing at all...both of which would only continue this non-issue.
But now its over, and anybody that makes any more of it will only look petty.
Not as childish as giving the finger to your opponent.
I think it's brilliant, and rather Reaganesque.
That’s exactly my point.
It was how it was done.
There were still plenty of cameras and media coverage when he was President.
Ronald Reagan would not have handled it this way. Not at all.
She'll be president because she wrote on her hand?
That's effing r-worded.
People going to see her should write something back, like, “Hi, Sarah!” Maybe tip their fingers in purple.
I agree. This whole thing is rather silly — both sides.
I’m not making a battle, just stating my political perceptions.
Here's that famous Reagan clip on youtube
I think you mean “objective”. Or maybe not.
That pic doesnt match what the video shows. http://crazymotion.net/sarah-palin-reads-cheat-notes-on-her-hand/wY1-YeZs4guYjAy.html
Yes, I meant “objective.”
Thank you.
