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.
Cheers!
Cheers!
