Sometimes a girl needs a little help remembrin’ stuff.  And when you’re flush from a full day of mocking President Obama for, among other things, using a teleprompter when giving speeches, sometimes when you’re being asked pre-approved questions at a scripted Q-n-A, you gotta just go back to the old fashioned way of cheating and look at the crib notes you’ve scribbled onto your hand.

Nah, she didn’t!!!  Really?  Sarah Palin needed to look at CRIB NOTES written on the palm of her HAND like a sophomore during a CIVICS TEST???

Hmmmm…. turns out AP took a photo of her during the speech.

There’s certainly SOMETHING written on the palm of that left hand.  Is it a grocery list?  A list of ways to refer to Obama’s race without blatantly using the “N” word?

Nothing quite that blatant, it would seem.

Caribou Barbie just needed to remind herself that she wanted to talk about…

“ENERGY”

“BUDGET TAX CUTS”

“LIFT AMERICA’S SPIRITS”

As a columnist on the Huffington Post comments, this tells us one of two things.

This would mean:

A) That she knew the questions beforehand and the whole thing was a farce. (Likely.)

and

B) That she still couldn’t answer the previously agreed-upon questions without a little extra help.

If true, this is supremely rich coming immediately after a speech in which Palin took a shot at President Obama for using a teleprompter to read his prepared speeches.

You can bet that the President wasn’t reading scribbles off his extremities while he sparred with Republicans and Democrats in an unscripted format in his recent Q&As.

Palin, on the other hand, seems to need a cheat-sheet just to get through a contrived lovefest with a smitten interviewer and an adoring audience.

I’m no fan of the Tea Party movement – if it can be called such – but if this is their leader I actually sympathize with them.

And if you listen to the answer she gives, even WITH the cheat notes, it’s babbling and incoherent!!!

THIS is the idiot that wingnuts want to be the face of their party?  THIS is the blithering moron that most Republicans think is MORE QUALIFIED than Obama to be president?  THIS is the simpering hypocrite that old, white, disaffected Americans who want to take America back from “Those People” in the White House are considering as their CHAMPION?

Okee doke!
