Ok, so hand notes are bad, but needing teleprompters to address 6th graders is good? And not being able to properly pronounce corpsman, not once, but twice while reading the teleprompter? OK gotcha.
The emperor has no clothes, and Palin is far more savvy and ruthless than these folks will admit, her next mockery of Fauxbama has all been written, but not only them but the press as well by their actions.
Liberals are truly some of the dumbest people on the planet, they just can’t process the real world. Palin scares the crap out of them because her support isn’t ginned up by them or created by them, so they can’t destroy it no matter how much they try and the more they try the more foolish they look in the process growing her support.
She is far smarter than any of these MSM folks give her credit for, at least in the ways of human nature. Mark my words, this woman is shrewder than any of them believe she could be.
I dunno. Reagan was given hell because he wrote everything on 3 x 5 index cards. I think as a speaker you have to go with what works. Sometimes I do completely impromptu talks; other times, when I want to get quotations and #s right, I use prepared notes.
