HI MOM!

[pnh102]

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.

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?

[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

[ozzymandus]

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

[rotstan]

“Palin, you magnificent bastard! We read your hand!”

[caveat emptor]

IMO it is a stretch to take this characterization of the HuffPo article at face value. Just another attack on Sarah Palin, albeit a clever one.

[jstaff]

I wonder, has anyone from the looney left ever heard of “speaking off the cuff” and what it means? It means someone speaking from the heart about something they know and understand, with just a couple of key words jotted down on their “cuff” or hand to help them be sure they cover all the points they want to. What a bunch ot fools these libs are.

I’d like to think Sarah P. took my advise... right after her boss, McLame, lost the election, I sent her an appreciation email thanking her for bringing some much needed enthusiasm to the ticket, and told her how very excited I and others were for her entry into big time politics. I told her to give them something to talk about and to keep them talking... about her... no matter what the topic, so long as “you keep them talking”.

She is doing just that, and it eats their lunch that they pay so much attention to her. Well, maybe she read my email and maybe she didn’t, and maybe they had that strategy way before I thought of it, but daw-gonit, its working just as I had thought it would, and the MSM just can’t leave it alone... like cat nip to a cat. Whether you run or not Sarah, I’ll be rootin’ for ya.
