No wonder Sarah Palin didn’t look that bright running for office. Names like “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad” are just too hard to fit on to one hand.
Recently, during her Tea Party speech, people wondered why Sarah Palin kept looking at her hand. Later, during a Q&A some pictures revealed her “cliff notes” for the speech.
Apparently, “budget” wasn’t worth mentioning (or maybe she just checked them off as she went along). Seriously Palin? You criticize all the politicians that use teleprompters but you couldn’t remember your five biggest points?
The BBC reported…
Mrs Palin was shown reading from her hand and displaying the scribbled notes after she had made the address.
She had spoken in the speech of a “charismatic guy with a teleprompter”, apparently meaning President Obama.
Mrs Palin received a standing ovation for the speech as she called for a “return to conservative principles”.
But a photo taken during a question-and-answer session after the speech showed her left hand with the words “energy”, “budget cuts”, “tax” and “lift Americans’ spirits”. The word “budget” had been crossed out.

I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~ Godfather
Writing on ones own hand is tacky. It is certainly something that someone attempting to be presidential should not do. However, having 5 words written on your hand seems very different than having every speech word for word on a teleprompter. Both seem to be worthy of satire. Neither seem like a big deal to me.
Can’t argue with that Jay. Although I still wonder why “budget” just didn’t make the speech. Maybe she can’t see the Federal Reserve from her house
