The Palin message, distilled



A Huffington Post blogger enlarges the image of Sarah Palin's hand, at which she glanced during yesterday's speech to the Tea Party Convention.

It appears to be an outline:

Energy
Budget Tax Cuts
Lift American Spirits

Fiscal hawks will note that the difference between budget cuts and tax cuts is pretty much the core of the criticism of Republican economics.

Anyway, not sure why she needed to write it down, but it does boil things down.

1. And now it's being spun as a positve

:eyes:

Since it's been noticed, the M$M is now going to spin it as a positive for Palin.

My god, we're doomed.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. How the hell can they spin this as a positive?

[WeDidIt]

6. Smith just did on Politico

It's Palinism distilled. Short sweet and to the point, her crib notes represent a distilling of teabagger philosophy.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

7. To a Palin Fan, this is clever, resourceful, tricky, and, well, Mavericky!

She so smart.

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. We will NEVER win over her base

We need to concentrate on preventing them from growing. Rational people who pay attention understand that only stupid people write notes on their hand when they are being paid $100K to give a major speech.

2. Lift American Spirits?!

:rofl:

She NEEDED to write that down?

[Raschel]

9. Seriously!!! And she needed to write down "American"! She might forget where she is?

[Jennicut]

15. It is a facepalm moment for sure. She really is not that bright...

[Warren Stupidity]

27. If only she had face palmed herself with her left hand. nt

[tallahasseedem]

18. Actually...

she did say "Alaska" the first time around so yes, she did need a reminder. I weep for our country.

[BR_Parkway]

26. What Republican doesn't reflexively puke out "Tax cuts" as the solution

to any and every problem? That's the one I was amazed at

[livetohike]

3. She can't remember three major themes

Such a pitiful excuse for a politician. She can't go unscripted anywhere. How do those Tea Baggers like their "rogue" now? Of course, if rogue means you are an idiot who can't remember three major themes.

5. budget was lined thru?

Why would anyone be afraid of her?

She's a dolt.

[onehandle]

8. As much as I despise her, I honestly don't see the big deal.

It's a couple of points to remind her what to bring up and focus on.

We're not all President Barack Obama or President Bill Clinton.

Some of us need a little help and this is a minor thing.

[iceman66]

10. It's not a minor thing

when she makes it a point to criticize Obama for using a teleprompter!

[Raschel]

12. I'll bet she writes "feed Trig" on her hand every day.

[onehandle]

19. Well, I get that. I'm just sick of here and anything that extends her 15 minutes is sad. nt

[Raschel]

11. Huh? Those points are so general, it once again proves her stupidity. She needs more than a little

help.

[tallahasseedem]

13. Wha?

Some of us need a little help remembering three (four?) little talking points? These topics are like shooting fish in a barrel, she shouldn't have needed a reminder.

[livetohike]

16. She had a long time to prepare for this Teabagger appearance

and she couldn't remember three points to emphasize? Says much about her mental capacity. I disagree. I think it is a big deal.

Years ago, I did a lot of public speaking including media appearances. I had a short media training seminar in which we were told to remember three major points we want to get across and hammer at those points.

I'm sure Sarah Palin has had plenty of help, including the time to prepare for this speech and she had to write those three points on the palm of her hand.

She's a joke. Hope SNL picks up on this on Saturday :-).

[onehandle]

21. She is a joke and should be ignored.

Green Day got Idiot America so right.

[Raschel]

24. She is a joke, and needs to be called on it. Over and over.

Besides, she can't take any criticism or anyone laughing at her.

She'll have a Facebook answer soon.

[spanone]

20. you obviously are not aware of her bashing Obama over his use of a teleprompter

it's called hypocrisy

[onehandle]

22. And I get that as I said above.

What's going to happen is that the media will talk about Obama's full speech being on the teleprompter, but down to earth Sarah only needed a couple of scribbles.

She will come off as 'down to earth.'

[Warren Stupidity]

28. mentality of 12 year old.

What part of that is unclear to you?

[spanone]

17. obviously she thinks america is listening...bwahahahahaa

[Lint Head]

23. In other words, she is not intelligent, a lister and can't remember shit.

[mitchum]

25. "Lift American Spirits"...why does she need a reminder to shoplift cigarettes?

what a stupid, stupid woman

[Cass]

29. Before you know it we'll be seeing this list on bumper stickers and t-shirts

with Sarah 2012. :eyes:
