They've got her now! The Huffington Post is all over Sarah Palin and the Tea Party convention scandal of the century!
Eagle-eyed scandal-mongers caught the former Alaska governor and potential 2012 presidential candidate cheating by having notes scrawled on the palm of her left hand during her headlining speech at the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville last night.
Palin was caught reading the words, "Energy, Tax Cuts, Lift American Spirits" during her appearance.
The commies at Think Progress are all over this career-ending scandal with a video of their own.
Well, that's it. I guess Sarah Palin ought to just head back to Alaska and spend the rest of her life sitting on her front porch gazing at Russia, wondering what might have been if she hadn't been caught cheating by the Huffington Post.
Is this for real????
When I’ve given speeches, I’ve always had a part of the speech where I couldn’t remember the next word. I’ve often been tempted to write that elusive word on my hand so that I will remember it when the time comes, although I’ve always been successful just repeating the word over and over until it’s time to give the speech.
So Sarah Palin takes the strategy of writing the troublesome word or phrase on her hand. Criticism of her for it from HuffPo is rather odd, considering they seem to have no problem with someone reading an entire speech from a teleprompter. (Have we ever had another president so incapable of speaking on his own?)
Is water wet?
Is fire hot?
Is Peyton a baller?
She should have used a teleprompter!
“0bama’s teleprompter has lie, distort, obfuscate and set terrorists free written on it.”
You stole my thought!!!! Well said....
Just one word,
“Corpse man”.
Oh, I guess that’s two words.
What a bunch of straw grasping losers over at HuffPo. 3...2...1 until Debbie Schuessl, Kathleen Parker and Peggy Noonan rail against the hand notes too.
Sarah Palin does speeches ‘Old School’.
Yep. She should have had about ten of them out there as a prop. It would have been funny as hell.
Anything less than a teleprompter is unacceptable!!!!!!
I saw that, also. Didn’t Obama have a ‘bracelet moment’ on the campaign trail?
She referred to those “hand notes” during the question/answer segment. Seems like a good idea to me.
She has to be having a good laugh over this one!
/sarc
Yes!!!!
I know I know, rhetorical, but I couldn't resist!

At least it isn’t a teleprompter.
OMG, I never caught the hand gestures on that video before. He passes his fingers, shaped like a peace sign, over his eyes about three times and that must mean the TP has gone on the fritz.
“Budget.”
But I agree. Wish it said, “Screw Juan.”
