Exposed! Photos Show Palin To Be a Serial Teleprompter User

By GottaLaff



Please... just pop over to Pensito Review. They have 27 photos that clearly and visually expose CribNotes McTwoFaced for the hypocrite she is. It's hilarious, actually, to see how many Palin bloopers people can dig up per day.

Per hour.

How's that cringey flimflammy thing goin' for ya?

Here are just three examples:


NOTE: BLOGGER ATE SOME OF MY POST. Allow me to add back in what it erased:

As I've said in previous posts, when one gives a speech, words matter. Notes and teleprompters are acceptable, especially when every word is vetted and analyzed.

However, if you pass yourself off as an expert in national security, domestic issues, the economy, health care, etc., run for office, act as if you might run for office, and claim to represent America on the world stage, you better know your stuff.

That means having the ability to think on your feet and educate yourself on topics that you know will be asked in any press conference or Q and A session. Like, you know, what you read.

Especially when you have pre-screened the questions.

Especially when you're in the global spotlight.

Especially when you go on national television for a widely promoted event.

Especially when you're accusing the president of the United States of needing visual aids.

Especially when you're name is Sarah Palin.

PhotOh! Palin's Hand-iwork Makes it to a Restaurant Sign

Via my Twitter pal Zaxxon23 and lolitapop9, we get a treat. Spotted outside Next Door restaurant:


Sushi is a handmade finger food (well, the way I eat it, anyway). She better stay away. Her notes would smear.

This and that: Big Post-O'-Many-Stories!

I have to leave soon, so I'll throw a bunch of stories at you all in One Big Fat Post:

Adviser Says McCain Helped Create the BlackBerry

"Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped create the BlackBerry," the AP reports.

"At least that's the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing McCain's work as a senator."

Said Holtz-Eakin: "You're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create."

Economist Poll: Obama Holds Small Lead Nationally

A new Economist/YouGov poll shows Sen. Barack Obama just edging Sen. John McCain nationally, 41% to 40%.

Next:

Outrage as a Campaign Tactic

Time uncovers the secret behind McCain strategist Steve Schmidt's use of outrage to dominate news cycles.

"In the heat of a campaign, Schmidt understood that outrage could cut through the news clutter like a buzz saw. It didn't matter much if the outrage was fueled by fact -- better if it was fueled by emotion, which would tweak the fury of his base, leading to exciting exchanges on cable television and fresh chatter around the watercooler. Unlike health care or foreign policy, the emotional charge of outrage has a magnetic effect; voters are forced to take sides and respond, shifting the debate."

Palin to Meet Foreign Leaders

Gov. Sarah Palin "will meet with foreign leaders next week at the United Nations, a move to boost her foreign-policy credentials," according to the Wall Street Journal.

Said a campaign strategist: "The meetings will give her some exposure and experience with foreign leaders. It's a great idea."

Again with the Cliff Notes. So, Palin's going to do a quick hi-and-'bye with a few foreign leaders, and that will magically qualify her for a major world-leader-role? I met, and even wrote for and worked with Dick Van Dyke. Does that make qualify me for an Emmy award? I met the CEO of a major company. Does that make me ready to run my own?

And last, but not least:

Quote of the Day

"It is a bad economy."

-- Sen. John McCain, quoted by Time, reversing himself after getting hammered yesterday for insisting the "fundamentals of our economy are strong."

One key reason: The latest Diageo/Hotline tracking poll finds Obama holds a solid 9-point lead over McCain among those who say that the economy is the top issue facing the country, 48% to 39%.

Read that last part again. It's the economy, stupid.
