Gov Palin's Sleight of Hand Carefully Calculated

Friends and enemies alike focused almost exclusively on Governor Palin’s hands this past week, following the apparent use of “crib notes” inked in her left palm. A recent report indicates that these inscriptions were not crib notes at all. They were most probably a carefully crafted sleight of hand.

the use of the hand notes went viral everyone is doing it.. oppsss..

HI MOM!

Now if she could just shoot lightening out of her hands like the Pope can ...

Thus the White House became a vehicle for Palin’s narrative of the snooty elites who think they’re better than average Americans.

Well, it couldn't have possibly worked if the White House and media weren't actually filled with snooty elites who think they're better than average Americans.

... it was a carefully calculated maneuver. She did it to get a rise out of the mainstream media, and well — she sure did.

LOL...the only way she could make such a calculation is by assuming the the MSM would go ape and attack her for anything...oh...well, maybe it was planned, but this is the MSM admitting the chances they'd attack her were high enough to plan on it.

Yep, she has the media eating out of her hands.

So now Sarah Palin is SO DUMB she has to write crib notes on her hand and SO BRILLIANT that she knows how to manipulate the media and the White House.

That is Bush-level quality of smart dumbness.

That is Bush-level quality of smart dumbness.

I have been amazed at the ability of liberals to simultaneously attribute astounding brilliance and vapid stupidity to the same person.

One of my favorites is how Bush is so stupid quickly followed by how he "tricked" democrats into voting to go to war in Iraq. So apparently liberals admit that they're even dumber than the world's biggest imbecile such that he can trick them regularly.

Since it's going viral, I hope it will also bring more attention to the pathetic irony of TOTUS.

"He actually told Gibbs to make fun of my hand notes"??!!!

[keats5]

Wow, how will she shame the lame-stream media next? Spinach between her teeth perhaps?

[Joyell]

When I saw it on the news, it looked like she was making it obvious that she was looking at her hand. I thought it was her way of making fun of BO for not being able to put two words together without a teleprompter.

[phothus]

Not only does it reinforce her position as the person the left hates the most - by attacking this they expose themselves as being delusional in their hatred of her, but it also focuses on who needs “notes” to give a speech.

She had 3 simple things on her hand, didn’t have a teleprompter and gave a great speech. Someone else can barely manage to walk onstage in the most friendly situations without a teleprompter as his crutch.

What did everyone talk about? her hand, yes.. but in the end, everyone thought about Obama’s teleprompter.

Win-Win for Palin.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Palin only needs to read one word on her hand, and is able to speak extemporaneously on that topic. Obama, on the other hand (no pun intended), must read ALL of his material from a teleprompter. So, who's the better speaker?

extemporaneous = previously planned but delivered with the help of few or no notes

Ping

Corpseman, Corpseman, Corpseman!!!!!

[ozzymandus]

So Sarah is brilliant and stupid at the same time? How confusing.

[Dick Bachert]

And he did...

Now if she could just shoot lightening out of her hands like the Pope can ...

Naw, that's Hillary...
