Blatantly swiped from DU.

I've also, too heard "iPalm", and a couple more that would end up as astericks here!

TinWoman · 02-07-2010, 02:49 PM

LMAO......I love the Ipalm!!

I read a blog today that called it the Hillbilly PDA.

It's a redneck telepromptor.

Andrea Mitchell has some fun at Sarah's expense.

Andrea make a good point about it.

Quote:

But Mitchell said that Palin's "cheat sheets" were damaging in that she had described Presdeint Obama as a "charismatic guy with a teleprompter."
"If Mitt Romney had notes on his hand, wouldn't we take it pretty seriously?" Mitchell asked Todd and co-host Savannah Guthrie.
"She does, sort of, get played... she has different rules," Todd stammered.

Just another example of Chuck Todd being a toolie.

What are those rules and who gave them to her Todd?

SJR · 02-08-2010, 12:31 PM

The funny thing is she will never be able to use a teleprompter since she has crucified President Obama!

Yup, so she writes on her hand like a schoolchild.

There you have it. She can use the teleprompter without being a hypocrit.

Calamity Jane · 02-08-2010, 07:44 PM

Her name is on her sleeve too. Why does she need that?

Well since she's on the payroll, a fellow employee must be defended:

Fox News: Palin’s ‘Telepalmer’ Notes Were A Clever Plot To Call Attention To Obama’s Teleprompter »

As ThinkProgress reported on Saturday night, paid Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was caught using “hand”-written notes during a Q & A session at the National Tea Party Convention this weekend. Ironically, during the appearance, Palin also criticized President Obama for using a teleprompter during speeches.
On Fox & Friends this morning, the hosts defended their colleague’s Telepalmer notes. Carlson suggested that it was a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention to Obama’s use of a teleprompter:

CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence and here’s she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff and she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big long speech.
DOOCY: I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time. [...]
KILMEADE: But to sit there and look at, and do the interview and look down at her hand, I think that is — like you said before, Gretchen — folksy, absolutely, down-to-earth, I can identify. But if you’re going to write on your hand, why not just say, ’staffer, hand me a card.’ And then it would be okay.
CARLSON: Nah, like I said, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we we may never know.

Watch it:
Event organizers admitted the questions were “pre-screened,” but a Palin spokesperson said the former VP candidate had not seen the questions ahead of time. Still, as Huffington Post’s Stefan Sirucek points out, Palin’s “extra help” in front of a friendly crowd is especially ironic because Obama wasn’t using notes of any kind during a recent unscripted Q & A with House Republicans. Obama has also recently held several town halls, where he took questions from the audience and spoke at length without notes.

Gretchen Carlson and Michele Bachmann are such huge embarrassments to Minnesota.

cathyb · 02-08-2010, 08:47 PM

All I can say is, that hopey changey thingy is working fine for me Palin! At least the President can remember more than 3 key talking points without writing on his hand! Thank goodness.

Koi · 02-08-2010, 09:32 PM

Jim--what a load of BS. Excellent Carlson fertilizer. Ye gods, it doth amaze me!

Olbermann asked why she had to write her core ideas on her hand. Couldn't she remember the tax cut concept without notes?
She used teleprompters. Watch her acceptance speech. Watch clips of her on the roard with McCain. Teleprompters are obvious.
What a joke McCain pulled on the American people!

That is hilarious

Tootie5347 · 02-08-2010, 10:02 PM

Nice try Fox. Her speaking skills haven't gone beyond a 12 year olds capabilities. She's a doofus.

jimzmum · 02-08-2010, 10:36 PM

Chi, hope you disinfected your compter! What a load!

MinnMs · 02-08-2010, 10:46 PM

And her head was up and down constantly at this latest foray...obviously looking at her notes on the "lectern" .
