Palin's Palmprompter: How Sarah sneakily consulted her notes during her $100,000 appearance at Tea Party rally http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldne ... vists.html

She chided Barack Obama for his frequent use of the teleprompter - but Sarah Palin proved she is not above using a handy reminder over the weekend.

The former vice presidential candidate was speaking at the first ever national 'Tea Party' convention on Saturday when she sneaked a quick - and not so subtle - peek at notes written on her hand.

The embarrassing moment was caught on film during a question-and-answer session after Mrs Palin gave a rousing speech to activists at the rally in Nashville, Tennessee, on the weekend.


Covert: Sarah Palin appears to consult her palm during a question-and-answer session at the Tea Party rally in Nashville on Saturday


Crib sheet: Sure enough, closer examination of video footage showed Mrs Palin did indeed have some handy buzzwords written on her palm

It came just minutes after she gave the keynote speech to the convention, during which she said in reference to Mr Obama: 'This is about the people ... and it's a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter.'

Mrs Palin, seated on stage, used the microphone she was holding in a clumsy attempt to disguise the fact that she was peering at her crib notes.

Close ups of the video footage showed that she had written in her palm 'energy', 'budget cuts' (with the word 'budget' then crossed out), 'tax', and 'lift American spirits'.

The questions had been pre-screened, giving the former Alaska governor time to study up on the answers.

She was ridiculed by bemused political commentators and on the Internet. 'I guess the next time meanie liberal elites like Katie Couric ask Palin what she reads, she can say, "My hand,"' blog Politicsusa.com wrote.

Gawker.com was even more baffled by the incident: 'Did this woman seriously write notes on her hand to assist in the answering of questions she was given in advance? And did she do so minutes after criticizing the President for being fond of his teleprompter? *FACEPALM*.... This is just straight up EMBARRASSING.'

However the blip did not appear to dent her popularity at the event, where organisers had paid her $100,000 to speak.

It's only ridiculous because she attacked the President for using a teleprompter (really? Is that a bad thing now?).
I don't care if she writes notes on her hands, or whatever, but when she's a turd about it, that's when it's annoying.
