Sarah Palin

Now darlings, Mean Betty generally doesn’t write about politics or politicians (unless they simply demand comment by playing their special political version of musical beds), but this was too good to pass up. Sarah Palin, ex-governor of Alaska, would-be Vice President (and President?) of the USA, and best selling author … writes speech crib notes on her palm. Too cute!

Mean Betty loves it. This way Sarah gets to still make fun of Obama and his teleprompter without being called a hypocrite AND maintain her folksy cred. Because it doesn’t get any folksier than a ballpoint pen to the palm, non?

Here’s Sarah Palin during a Q&A at the National Tea Party Convention over the weekend:

And here’s a close-up of her hand:

As Gawker says,  those words do appear to be:

  • "Energy"
  • "Budget cuts"
  • "Tax"
  • "Lift American spirits"

Hmm … looks like she did a little last-minute editing!

Meh, no one should be expected to give a full speech without notes or a prompter...it's called being prepared. She's lucky her hands don't sweat when she's on a stage, though!

I actually do feel bad for her sometimes

So it's OK to criticize the president for using a teleprompter, but acceptable to refer to notes you have written on your hand? Ridiculous.

Writing on your hand? Don't they have paper in Alaska? How Presidential.

Obama wouldn't make it through a speech with only 3 phrases written down. I think she is a down to earth, average person, something Obama will never be. Not sure why she chose her hand instead of paper...definitely would have been more appropriate.

She awful. She's just an awful, attention-craving, power-hungry person. The hypocrisy that oozes from her makes me sick to my stomach. Ick. Ew, ew, ew.

How about Obama reading "corpsman" off the teleprompter at the National Prayer Breakfast and saying "corpse-man"? And then mispronouncing it again.

The day after her convention speech, Palin wrote "Hi Mom!" on her palm. Funny that that picture wasn't in this piece. Or not.

What's Sarah Palin have to do with Obama? She will fly or sink on her own merits, and according to current polls, she's not particularly popular.

She may be congenial, but that is no qualification to run anything. And for that matter, she resigned from running anything. That's a great inspiration. Not.

Sarah Palin is an IDIOT PERIOD! This idiot has the nerve to make fun of Obama?? Palin obviously thinks she is way smarter and way more popular than she is, she will NEVER be president she might as well take her tail back to Alaska and stay there, and who is taking care of her children especially her son with downs syndrome? Shouldn't this person be at home taking care of these children?? Palin preaches one thing and does another?? Writing on her hand is just like being in High School, she is a hick from the sticks period!

Hey Hankie1 you have to understand its politics everyone does it , just Obama spends more time out of the white house and on TV instead of working once in his life. He couldn't get Chicago fixed or Hawaii so do you think he is smart in front of the tel-prompter? Think twice hanker. at least she writes her own and gets a few pointers out even if she has to write crib notes on her hand. I say a extremely smart woman. I would vote for her or Gov. Rick Perry of Texas if he ran for 2012.
