The right-wing kooks are bending over backwards to defend Sarah Palin’s crib note expose. The three stooges on Fox and Friends had this lovely little dialogue.
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose.
DOOCY: You do?
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. Yeah, because I think it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter. Reading off complete script written for you with every word in a sentence, and here she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes it look as if she can just talk off the cuff and that she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went off to give a big, long speech.
KILMEADE: I am jealous.
DOOCY: I think she did — I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time.
KILMEADE: I personally am jealous, because I used to get in trouble if I wrote on my palms because my mom explained to me the ink would get through my pores and I would die. So I stopped doing that in the fifth grade.
DOOCY: Really?
KILMEADE: Why doesn’t she just — there’s nothing wrong with if she had a card. Just jot a card down — energy, taxes, hope, whatever it is. But — then no one has a problem. But to sit there and look at — do the interview and then look down at her hand, I think that is — it’s, like you said, Gretchen, before, folksy, absolutely. Down to earth. I can identify. But if you’re going to write it on your hand, why not just say, staffer, can you hand me a card? And then it would have been OK.
CARLSON: Like I say, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we may never know.
While another Palin apologist notes…
“…like other busy moms, she sometimes writes notes on her hand.”
Really, how does anyone take these people seriously?

Yeah, right. She wrote notes on her hand to answer a question during the Q&A session, a question she did not know was going to be asked. Oh wait! You mean she did know the question was going to be asked. So, she was given the questions before hand and the Q&A session was just a sham? Oh, that is much better!
How dumb do they think we are? Oh wait, they were addressing the tea party convention. Forget I asked that question.
I’m jealous I didn’t think of this; that Palin wrote on her hand on purpose.
I’m jealous I didn’t think that “Reading off complete script written for you with every word in a sentence” would be a bad thing. How can we possibly want people to speak in complete sentences? Now that is socialist and anarchist and probably even communist.
Most of all, I’m jealous that I don’t seem to be busy enough to write notes on my hands….
i can only imagine, president Caribou Barbie, addressing the UN, or speaking at Davos or the G 8 summit, or being presented to QE II…
we will have finally lived down to every idiotic image the world has of us, after 8 years of the village Idiot.
and his name is spelled Doocy? all this time I thought it was Douchey. my bad.
Thank God she remembered to look at her hand to read “lift America’s spirits.” She wrote that on her hand, knowing full in advance, we would all read about it on every news paper & news station for days. She knew we would get a giggle out of it & *that* would lift our spirits. I must go now and sing, “God Bless America.” /s
If Palin were ugly, no one would give a fat rat’s ass about her and her folksy nothingness.

Why does anyone want to defend this blonde bimbo?
Hey Sarah: Your village just called. They want you, their idiot, back!
