Bam's ham is heavy handed: Top White House flack mocks Palin palm notes
NY Post ^ | February 10, 2010 | JENNIFER FERMINO

The White House's chief spokesman used a press briefing yesterday on world affairs to -- of all things -- mock Sarah Palin.

Clearly tickled with himself, Robert Gibbs showed up with a shopping list scrawled across his left hand.

Included in the list of supermarket staples, like "eggs" and "milk," were two of President Obama's favorite themes, "hope" and change" -- a clear swipe at Palin, who was caught with crib notes scribbled on her palm at the Tea Party Convention in Tennessee.

Palin -- who calls Obama the "guy with a TelePrompTer" -- had "energy," "tax cuts" and "lift American spirits" on her list.

These people are amazing. They want more civility in politics and they do this. Par for the course.
At least Palin dont need a teleprompter to talk to school children.

It continues to make them look petty and ridiculous, which they are.

Too bad the MSM is in the Obama mensroom to see it. All but for FOXNEWS

Note to the WH: Way to go...

Hope and change is a clear swipe at Obama since he has offered neither.

The only reason obama doesn't write in his palm is, he would need a teleprompter to remind him to look at his hand....

I'm with stupid

this moron’s boss can’t utter two consecutive coherent sentences without a teleprompter and he’s mocking Palin for a few bullet-items on her hand? what an idiot. the demholes and MSMwhores are terrified of Palin, otherwise they’d ignore her. Dogs don’t chase parked cars.

Palin will likely turn this back on them. She seems to be good at poking fun at the Obama administration when it is needed.

They don’t realize how childish and petty they look—like a bunch of sixth graders. Can you imagine any other president resorting to attacking a private citizen from the White House “pulpit”—one who, by the way, they keep saying is “irrelevant”?

Well your little kenyan marxist faggot can't buy a pack of cigarettes with his TelePrompter telling him what to say. Dumber than a box of hammers and evil to the bone... and I HATE every one of you trashy liberal terrorists that defile our Nation's Capitol.

Gibbs - the biggest buffoon ever to hold that position.

Somewhere in Heaven, Tony Snow is laughing and shaking his head. How I miss him, his wit. A picture of class.
