Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin has delusions of grandeur if she thinks she can be President

Now Sarah Palin comes right out and says it, that she really is thinking about running for President in 2012. She says it in the same starry-eyed way kids talk about growing up to be astronauts, but actually seems to believe it, that somehow she can go from being this kind of pinup girl for her Tea Party friends to the White House.

Now there are many, many ways Sarah Palin could help this country. Running for President will never be one of them. You listen to her long enough and actually feel yourself getting dimmer by the minute, like a dying light bulb.

…

Maybe she would have done better with [Chris] Wallace if she'd written down talking points on herhand, the way she did at that Tea Party convention, the superpatriot version of Halloween in the Village.

Rookie football quarterbacks do the same thing, by the way, write things down on their wrists, when they don't know all the plays.

Anybody can bring notes to a speech, no crime in that, no disgrace. But if you're going to mock President Obama for using a TelePrompTer, you sort of can't let a Huffington Post blogger see "Energy" and "Tax Cuts" and "Lift American Spirits" written on the palm of your left hand, no matter how hard it is to remember tricky concepts like those.

So Little Mikey Lupica joined his SRM buddies in wetting his pants about Sarah Palin's speech and getting nailed by her writing on her palm goof. I'd say stick to sports, Little Mikey, but you're not catching things there, either. It wasn't a rookie, but none other than Peyton Manning who was sporting the plays on his all-time QB left wrist in the Super Bowl last night:

Amazing how a person who is supposedly so shallow and ill-equipped to be in the public eye repeatedly sends these seasoned media types into the Flummoxed Hall of Fame.

The MSM is going to go all out on Sarah for that, whe BO brings 2 teleprompters to a school?

[Lazamataz]

What is it with sports hacks that drain their brains? Olbermann, Lupica....

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Lupica should just stick to sports, where even then, he’s mediocre at best.

[silverleaf]

and we’ve all seen that someone with delusions of grandeur has no shot at being POTUS

(sarc)

you forgot the flashing, neon BARF ALERT

Sarah Palin has delusions of grandeur if she thinks she can be President

I bet this person wasn't saying that Obarry had "delusions of grandeur" in 2008... when he really does!

[teddyballgame]

At least she knows how to pronounce “corpseman”.

[Chi-townChief]

Crib notes or not, she’d be head and shoulders above the clown we have as prez now.

[Piquaboy]

The MSM has been going after her ever since she ran for Vice President with McCain.

[illiac]

Lupica has delusions of grandeur if he thinks he can be a reporter.....

[Rummyfan]

Pipsqueak Mikey Lupica.... Sarah Palin is more man than you’ll ever be! Stick to sports jack*ss!

[opus86]

Gotta say, I don’t see the reason for all the hoopla around Palin. Had she stayed in office and honed her political chops I’d be all for her, but not now. She might be a great president, I just don’t see it.

[IMissPresidentReagan]

Mike Lupica has delusions of grandeur if he thinks his opinion matters two whits with anyone.

[mvpel]

Let’s see Obama get through a 41-minute speech without a Teleprompter and with six words written on his palm, and we’ll stop mocking him about using a Teleprompter.

The guy is a sports writer. He lives in a make-believe world where they get all excited about meaningless events and consider guys who get paid tens of millions of dollars a year “heroes” for dunking a basketball. He never played the game.

[Maverick68]

Not just sayin’ this because I’m a Sarah fan:
I have seen no evidence that barak hussein obama is smarter than Palin.
Eloquence and smooth talk are traits of newsreaders and used-car salesmen and are not necessarily indicative of intellect.
Show us your grades, barry, show us something that YOU have written.
I’ve heard your gaffes, I’ve seen your inability to stray off prompter and again have seen NO EVIDENCE of your superior intellect...

Says who? Mike Lipsucka? Of course there is a huge difference between using a couple of words and having every damn thing you say run through a speechwriter and a teleprompter. If little Mikey doesn't understand that, maybe he ought to go back to writing obituaries for the NY Daily News.

That loser (sarc)Tom Brady sports the plays on his wrist as well...
