well, what do you expect? They received no education, just indoctrination. And future generations will be even worse. Individualism, thinking for oneself, recognizing right from wrong, and pride in being the best yoiu can be in taking care of oneself and one’s family are all skills the Progressives have been deliberately killing off for decades now.

Oh I agree. This is petty, high-school behavior. Why didn’t even one “journalist” ask about Obama’s need for a teleprompter, even in an elementary school classroom?

I think Palin should charge for ad space on her hand as much publicity as it’s gotten.

NO. I don’t think the White House Press Secretary should have mocked Sarah Palin. That would be HIGHLY inappropriate and unprofessional. Then again, IMO, cheat notes written on the palm of your hand should be Politics 101. If you’re not professional enough to avoid needing them....get caught and you’re fair game...I don’t care WHO it is.

Is there not one honest freeper who would admit this were it NOT Sarah Palin?

What about a poll on excessive teleprompter use ABC? You are clowns and so are your butties in the WH.

No I think they are being unbearably rude, snotty, and elitist by their ridicule.

However, such actions are sure to turn off the majority of Americans. So party on progressive dudes and dudettes;let the American people see how mean-spirited you are.

Palin should only write humorous things on her palm from now on. In the interview, she seemed a little nervous, so I can understand that she wanted the notes in case she needed them.

However, as she gains more experience, the nerves should settle down. She is certainly intelligent enough to able to state 3 measly items with out crib notes, but if she keeps putting humorous stuff on her hand, it will drive the left looney tunes.LOL.

Be glad that they’re too stupid to realize the law of unintended consequences.

They are the gift that keeps on giving..

More than a few people have pointed out that these new leftists behave like perpetual adolescents. I once read a fascinating article by Miss Manners in First Things, in which she lamented the loss of any concept of etiquette and politeness.

Etiquette books have vanished, and children are no long tought any manners, at home as well as at school. That would seem to most to be a minor concern—which fork to use, and so forth—but in fact it’s very important. In a way, civilization requires some knowledge of civilized behavior. And these guys haven’t a clue what that is.

If you decide to provoke someone and start a duel, OK. But at least you should be aware that that is what you are doing.

Its ok to use 3x5 cards, or a teleprompter though.

Now you are being petty.

Remember when Tony Snow publicly apologized for getting exasperated with a reporter and saying something such as “that’s ridiculous”?

And it’s amazing the WH doesn’t realize it should ignore Palin altogether: she’s not even an elected official or a party official.

Besides the decorum and dignity of the WH issues, Gibbs mocking Palin was just plain stuck-on-stupid politically. Why in the world would they think (or do they?) that this type of commentary coming out of the WH gains them anything, here or around the world?

I just saw the replay of Gibbs showing his plam notes and it was embarrassingly unfunny. The press reaction was a delayed and labored guffaw as well. Sara's palm notes have turned into a huge plus for her as we are now taunting the RATS and their friends with a very fun thing that would have gone unmined if not for their overreaching for Palin criticism. Obama travels with at least two teleprompters and Sara speaks from notes, or memory, and needed only a few words on her plam to highlight points she wanted to make. Who looks like the dummy here? I can see a cottage industry rising with bumper stickers, hand stickers with various messages, pins, pens, and other fun stuff handed out at Sara affairs. Who knows where this palmgate will wind up. The press secretary is so unequipped for anything humorous and certainly intellectually way below the ability to spar with Sara Palin. Give it up Gibbs, things are not going to get any better for you as Sara marches on.
