An American Lion

Sarah Palin

What sort of person writes things on their hand? What sort of person can’t talk to people without having to resort to a teleprompter?

If you can’t memorize a handful of words, or simply rehearse and prepare for something you know you’ve had to do for, literally, weeks now, then it is embarrassing to have to defend someone who writes on their hand:

Founding Bloggers can confirm that we too captured an image of the writing on Governor Palin’s hand. The notes appear to be very innocuous.

On the other hand, the outrage on the left is being completely misunderstood by the right. Democrats don’t mind that she needed a few notes for her speech. They’re upset that Sarah used her hand, proving once again that she is an unsophisticated hick. Everybody knows that whether you’re taking to sixth grade classroom, or talking dirty to the First Lady, using anything other than a presidential level teleprompter is simply pedestrian.

That’s some fairly weak tea right there.

Yes, it is embarrassing that the President can’t seem to do anything without a teleprompter. It’s equally embarrassing that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin can’t give a speech without without having to resort to writing on her hand.

It’s called intellectual heft, and if you don’t have it, I don’t care what political party you’re in. It’s embarrassing.
