Sarah Palin doesn’t need a TelePrompTer
No, indeed. Instead, she jots notes on the palm of her hand with a ballpoint pen (photo at link).
As has been pointed out, this means that she knew in advance the question would be asked, so wrote down the four points (since she was able to remember only the first point on her own).
In one of the articles I read, it was reported that the questions had been submitted in advance, so she (and whoever thinks for her) could prepare answers. Writing on the palm of one’s hand is a high school kid’s tactic.
The Divine Sarah (also referred to by NY Times columnist Charles Blow as “Lady Blah Blah”) is a side show. She’s getting attention and, most important of all, making money. She is a performer and is entertaining, but that’s about all.
My son Hendrik describes the tea-baggers as “people who have nothing better to do on Saturdays”.
