Sarah Palin Don't Need No Teleprompter

[Free Soviets]

palin gave a speech to the teabagging convention yesterday. then they had a q&a. palin was in top palin form. and by that, i mean that after making some stupid comment about obama's use of speechifying technology during her notecard-based speech, she got flustered during the q&a by the question of what she thinks the top three priorities should be when conservatives retake congress. and then she checked the notes she had written on her hand.

no, seriously.



and that's not just a poorly timed shot, check the video.

so what the hell was on her hand? well, helpfully she actually flashed it earlier and some well-timed camera work from the associated press caught it.



curious. let's zoom in, shall we?



so the handprompter said "energy, budget tax cuts, lift america's spirit". interesting, it's almost as if the whole q&a was staged. i mean, how else would she have known that she'd need a list of three things to talk about? also note that she still flubbed it, since she originally clearly wrote 'budget cuts' and then crossed it off in favor of the much more popular 'tax cuts', but still went with budget cuts anyways.

i really really hope the republicans actually are dumb enough to run her for president in 2012. it will be glorious.

I think I'm beginning to see why Bill Maher always gripes on Palin... if she had the chance to get elected to any significant office of power, I'd be pretty angry as well.

I'm still chuckling over 'Gaylord'.

Immature, I know.

In before "...welll...uh...SHE'S HOT!!!".

Seriously, that girl has the brains of a 5yrold

Is that 'shoped?

[Chumblywumbly]

Is that 'shoped?

No, just the most unfortunately named hotel chain ever.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

She must've learned that notes-on-hand trick in community college.

nope. apparently there is a mini-chain of gaylord hotels. gaylord opryland, gaylord texan, gaylord palms... wikipedia helpfully tells me that it is the 'hospitality arm of the gaylord entertainment company.'
haha.

[Chumblywumbly]

Has Palin not got any minders, PR folk, etc.?

[KenKenpachi]

Why so Serrious hippies? Tonight people are going to die.


I think most people know shes stupid, but find one polition whos not, Also with her recent antics its more likely shes after wealth than position. I highly doubt she'll run in 12. I think the only reassons she has speaking engagements is the fact she is conservitive and small townish, not big Urban life that has problem connecting to typical America, short of lying. But yes I'm sure republicans take marching orders from her. I mean come on the only, and I mean the only reasson she was macs running mate, is 1

His ass would of had even more home sitters than he got (in fairness that isn't saying much) as many on the Right and Conservitives didn't think Obama had a snow balls chance in hell, and that Mac was another Clinton/Bush and didn't want to vote for a lesser of two evils again.

And 2 he needed a conservitive, Romney which could have won the election on the Republican side maybe, would have made a good pick, minus one fact. He wanted the top job, given what I seen on Mac, he isn't one to share power.



So simple pick a woman for the sake of the feminist, a Conservitive for the South/Mid west, and make her stupid so she's not a threat. Thats why Palin won't be elected, or if she is, its more of the same shit we've seen the last 50 some years. Ike I would say was the last US president who wasn't stupid, had foreign funding/support (to get in office), AND didn't bow to one group or another, like current ones do. And in even a less seen thing, he did what he said and ran on. *gasp*

it maybe funny with her for 2-3 hours

[Communist Phanafia]

Shes such a bitch. Stupid republicans.

making some stupid comment about obama's use of speechifying technology during her notecard-based speech

also, this is somewhat important. the lunatic babble about 'teleprompters!!!1!' means that sarah plain and dim here can't be caught using one. so she had to resort to the old fashioned method of reading her speech from the podium. and so if you watch the actual speech part there is an awful lot of staring at her notecards, looking down while talking. it's like something out of a high school comm class. hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.

Six words. Writing on your hand for six words. Can she not remember that many words at once?

A real leader should not use Either, While in JROTC/ROTC/Scouts I had to give speachs to my Company and Battalion, (depending on which and what time anywhere from 60 to 500 people) I was not allowed use of notes at all, Same standards for other NCO's and Officers, I had to remember it all, and some of those could last 45 mins or so, sometimes longer. All the while standing at attention with graphs and charts.

clearly not. not even when they are her biggest policy priorities.

maybe if they had been about her wingnut welfare meal ticket schedule?

It helps to have some notes when doing a speech I suppose. Make sure you hit the right talking point for a question, etc.

[Maurepas]

Hey, dont hate on Community College,



Anyway, funny, but, utterly unsurprising, we all know Palin's not the sharpest knife in the drawer...

yes, well sometimes people want to give good speeches, and sometimes the precise wording matters for policy reasons. welcome to how it's always been.

even more helpful to know the question in advance, though.
