Gibbs Mocks Palin And Writes Shopping List On Hand
Talking Points Memo ^ | February 9, 2010 | Christina Bellantoni

Posted on 02/09/2010 11:22:58 AM PST by Karma Police

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs flashed his hand at the White House press corps to jab former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Among the things he'd written in dark pen were "eggs, milk, bread," Gibbs said.

This was, of course, a reference to Palin's notes she wrote on her hand during the question-and-answer portion of her address to the Tea Party Nation this weekend in Nashville.

As the reporters in the room laughed, Gibbs added that he'd also written down "hope and change."

He’s still got room for a short form certificate of live birth on there.

He's got room for the long form on his forehead.

Merci.

Not being Canadian or Cajun, my French is now officially expended - just simple phrases and a few assorted swear words. ;-)

So that's the best the critics can do, attack her for writing on her hand. Gotta luv it, they can't attack her ideas.

That's why you keep the message short, simple, and write it on your hand, so that your critics will pick up your message and report it even when they are trying to take you to task over the medium (not the message).

It was the only way Bush could get his talking points on the news at night in the 2000 campaign. The press corpse (sic) would get bored hearing the same speech at 3 events in a day so they would sit at the ready for the ONE time he botched delivery of a line. One of the reporters admitted it.

Hey Gibbs!!

Since the regime you work for has a group of people who read these web sites here is my question of the day:

How come Sarah can write five words on her hand and then speak, eloquently I might add, for an hour while your boss needs two teleprompters to talk to a group of 11 year old children?

He will not have discussions with certain conservatives because he does not have the intellect or ability to do so.

Gibbs, your man is truly an empty suit.

At Sarah’s next speech, she needs to haul a couple of teleprompters in with her, set them up in front of everybody, and then comment about how apparently all the talking heads and press secretary types think she needs to go more high-tech in order to be taken seriously.

Even better, she should start talking, then say: "Oops. My teleprompter seems to have gone out. I knew I should have looked at this note on my hand telling me to get it fixed. Guess I'll just have to wing it."

Then, after delivering her speech per usual, hold up her hand and wave to good-bye, so that the whole world can see "get teleprompter fixed" on her hand.

I can see her pulling that off with great timing, getting a great laugh, applause, and making Gibbs and the rest of the Obama sycophants look even more ridiculous than they already do.

It is embarrassing that these people are “running” the government. He thinks he’s so clever “mocking” a couple of handwritten notes while his boss is addicted to teleprompters. Uh, no one will notice that irony.

Do they really think someone having notes for an hour speech is a bad thing?

Further do they really think that someone note about six items on their hand for an hour speech is a bad thing?

This from an administration that can not speak to school children without a telepromter.

Do they really want the American people to compare the two speaker, Sarah versus Obama?

Wow! I did not think they could get much more clueless.

My wife is second-generation French Canadian, and her brothers taught me a few choice phrases.

Since we know that Sarah occasionally reads this site we ought to come up with some ideas of what she can next write that will further cause their heads to explode. Something like “Look mom no teleprompter” or corpsman or “say no to NYC trial” or “you lie” or something else that we are sure will capture the attention of the progressives!

Gads, I’ve never seen so much negativity come out of the white house to personally slander some folks. This is so danged childish it’s pathetic.

I wonder how many lines of coke Gibbs does before these press briefings.

Here is something he can write on his hand: ...use extra makeup coverage on red nose and immediate lip area.

His “nasal toned” voice is extremely annoying.
