Palm notes? Really?

Is anybody else baffled at the big deal being made about Sarah Palin having speech topics scribbled on her hand?

We have a president who must have one hell of a chiropractor to keep his neck in shape due to the ridiculous ping-pong match we see as he gazes from teleprompter right to teleprompter left - and this even in elementary school appearances.

Sarah Palin has a few reminders scribbled on her palm and it's all over the news sites.

Which is preferable, someone with a few reminders on her palm speaking from the hip, or an empty suit having every single (scripted) word delivered via teleprompter?

EDIT: If you are so inclined, here is an NPR poll about this that the DUhmmies are trying to sway.

    Who hasn't written something on their hand at one point? I wish people would stop making such a big deal out of Sarah Palin breathing. They can't find anything actually wrong with her, so they pick pick pick any nits they can find.

    And she not only speaks, but shoots from the hip as well. I'll take the first option, thanks.

    The Left has no sense of humor.

    You Betcha!… Palin Campaigns For Rick Perry– Writes “Hi Mom” On Her Hand
    On Sunday the left went bonkers after they discovered that the TelePrompter-less former Governor Sarah Palin wrote notes on the palm of her left hand for her speech to the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville. The far left absolutely freaked over this non-issue rather than focus on her brilliant speech knocking the Obama Administration’s horrid record on economics and national defense.

    Today Sarah fired back…

    It's not just about her writing these notes on her palm, but how she jokes about how Obama uses a teleprompter. How a charismatic speaker's ability to read from one properly. If you watch her in her speeches she has note cards. You can really tell when she stumbles through some lines. She, a charismatic speaker, couldn't read too well from those notes she had and kept getting lost and having to refind her spot. Then she goes as far as writing simple notes on her palm. Sure everyone at some point has done it...IN THE 3RD GRADE! And that isn't all, these are notes that you hear her talk about all the time. Energy, taxes, lift American spirits. She talks about these all the time and she can't remember them?!?!? Please run for President and make yourself look like an absolute fool!

    Have you ever taken a college level Communications course? I have at Penn State. You are TAUGHT to use note cards and/or a speech outline. They tell you NOT to completely write out your speech, so that you don't sound robotic. They want you to speak in your natural cadence, with your own words.

    Can't do that with a teleprompter, you can though when you use outlines and note cards.
    You would think a Harvard grad would know that, considering this was a first year requirement at PSU.

    Not really. You see, we don't go around saying Sarah Palin is "The Great Orator", whereas people on your end of the spectrum seem to think liquid gold flows from the lips of Barack Obama. The truth is, it's pretty painful watching the man speak without his teleprompters - he stutters worse than Porky Pig. I just think it's the very definition of hypocrisy, the way the left is reacting to a couple of scribbled notes on the palm of her hand.

    This writing on the hand stuff will be a great campaign gimmick and a way to stick it to the State Media and the Marxists running for office in future elections.

    At least it's better than the battling banjos teleprompters

    Yes I know it is advised to have note cards or a speech outline, but if you watch her she loses her spot on the note cards and she looks like an idiot. Or she makes herself look like a bigger idiot than she already is. But if you watch Obama, yes his head goes back and forth, but if you have taken the most basic college level of public speaking, you know to pick three people on your left, middle and to your right. And to speak to those three people. Hmm kinda like what Obama does. He doesn't lose his spot and he doesn't read every word on them. He essentially uses them as note cards or a speech outline. It's crazy you people actually make a big deal out of it.

    Of course we do. He took teleprompters to an elementary school! Now that is lame.

    Now, repeat after me, corpseman. Again. Corpseman. One more time, corpseman.

    Good, now run along.

    Next speech, Sarah should write on her hand,"if you're close enough to read this I'm about ready to smack you."

    thumbelina, they don't make mistakes....everything they do is on purpose. They take 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards. I learned this from when the Clinton's were residing in our White House. They are not hemmed in by the truth.

    I cannot remember who made the statement/quote, "Nothing done in politics is a mistake, you can be for sure it's done on purpose." This is not the exact quote but I will try to find it and who said this.

    Semper Fi

    P.S. Obama is working straight out of Saul Alinsky's book "Rules For Radicals" that I keep right here on my desk.

    I know what you mean! Like when Bush pronounced nuclear as 'nucular'. It's like he didn't care enough about those things to actually pronounce it right. I mean weren't those "nucular" weapons a big reason why we went to war? Hell, to have thousands of American soldiers and innocent civilians die you think he could at least pronounce it right... I'm kinda appalled by that myself.
