Democratic Party Defends TOTUS, Attacks Sarah Palin Over Hand-Gate
Sunday, February 7, 2010 | Kristinn

A spokesman for the Democratic National Committee today defended Barack Obama's reliance on a TelePrompTer while ratcheting up Hand-Gate by attacking former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for using notes scribbled on the palm of her hand last night at the Tea Party Nation convention in Nashville.

The Hand-Gate scandal was first reported by the Huffington Post and has been picked up by many other outlets including Think Progress, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post.

The New York Daily News buried the attack by the Democratic National Committee in their article about Hand-Gate:

She also gave Democrats an unexpected gift when video of the speech caught her glancing at notes written on her left palm.

Palin's grade school trick means she should no longer ridicule Obama's use of a TelePrompTer for speeches, said Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan.

"Her hypocrisy has killed off the favorite silly GOP talking point," he said.

Palin had written on her left palm the words, "Energy, Tax Cuts, Lift American Spirits." The word "budget" was scratched out and replaced by "tax."

Obama was ridiculed last month for using a TelePrompTer to address 6th grade children at a Northern Virginia elementary school.

Obama's latest TelePrompTer gaffe was this past week when he repeatedly mispronounced "corpsman" as "corpse man" when speaking of a Navy corpsman serving in Haiti for earthquake relief.

Either way, Sarah has bested them with HI MOM!

She did for sure.

It reminds me of her making a campaign appearance wearing jeans after the left practically accused her of stealing a gazillion dollars worth of clothes for herself. She's really good at ladylike in-your-face.

Someone should start a “Notes for Sarah’s Palm Pilot” thread.

We have some very creative folks here.

The Left never even acknowledged his reliance on teleprompters until they could say “Oh yeah?!!!”

The Left lies by omission. I loathe the Pravda Media.

I wonder how many Americans have grown to despise all Democrat politicians because of the obvious mainstream media bias in favor of all persons not Conservative.

Seriously.

And I wonder if reverse psychology will come into play and result in landslides for all non-Democrats in the next elections.

This Picture:
NEVER FAILS to crack me up! LOL!

Especially since I, your humble Irish Indian am able to perform an entire five hour New Years Eve Solo One Woman Band Show extemporaneously doing all genres of music without using cue cards, fake books, or lyric sheets of any kind. LOL.

That would of course, be on the KEYBOARD, not the BASS!

Palin has prompts written in her hand to make sure she covers all topics she wants to cover.

0bama has TOTUS and still reads someone else's speech before he realizes he has FUBAR'ed real good.

My wife used to have that stuff written all over her scrubs...I used to lay out silk tape and write stuff on it, then put it on the sleeve of my lab coat...

Of course, I would invariably forget for a day or so to remove it...:)
