A word in the hand is better than two in the teleprompter.
Are we really talking about this? Instead of covering the rift between America and our leaders, journalists are out making silly and often bitter (see the SFGate’s blog Sarah Palin Gives Hand Job to the Tea Party Movement) comments about 3-4 words written on a palm. The take from the liberal media seems to be that Sarah Palin used some hand scribbles in a speech in which she criticized Obama for using a teleprompter. I prefer to look at the event as an underdog, low-funded, grassroots movement using handmade signs and jotted down notes vs. a well-funded, ethically corrupt leadership with a technically superior teleprompter to feed every thought into the mind of its well-polished mouthpiece. I prefer to look at the whole issue as the Rebel Alliance out to find a chink in the armor of the Galactic Empire.
The mainstream media spent considerable time pointing out that Sarah Palin used a crib note written on her hand during a question and answer session at the Tea Party convention. I have to admit that I have, just before a presentation, scribbled a few key reminders on my hand. Unlike Ms. Palin, however, my sweaty palms rendered the text unreadable and worthless after the first few minutes of public speaking. Maybe the press should comment on Sarah Palin’s ability to stay cool under pressure and her ability to read completely sweat-free notes hours after they were written.

Let’s not be so hard on the loons...After all, they are used to some polished hack reading a full speech, written by another, off a teleprompter- Not some ordinary person offering a full, off-the-cuff, answer to a question based on a note scribbled on her hand.
I gotta tell ya- I’m enjoying all the squealing coming from the left. It is pure music to my ears!
Notice all that are complaining have not yet addressed what she did the next day with Hi Mom. No One!!!!
Thanks for mentioning the “Hi Mom”. I added an update with a link to the Daily Mail article on that subject.
