There had to be better ways, though BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 08/02/2010 08:36:50 AM
like putting a post-it note or something on your coffee mug.

SHe wrote Energy, Budgets, Tax cuts, lift american spirits - this looks to me like she jotted down her talking points. I promise you most public figures regularly have note cards that say things like that, it's a reminder of points you want to emphasize and cover, because it's easy to get distracted on stage. Obviously, she couldn't have a notecard in hand, skin works fine I also often write talking points on my palm. 'newton's laws, quiz friday, solve problem 9' for 'the lecture is about netwon's laws, don't get distracted and talk about relativity, don't forget to tell them you're giving them a quiz on friday, and demonstrate homework problem 9 on the board since a lot of people got it wrong' Oh, the embarrassment! I must be a seventh grader too


Well, if you can pull it off without drawing attention to your hand, then it could work. Otherwise, it just looks silly. I also wrote stuff on my hand once or twice before presentations, but I was able to stand behind a podium, so it was OK.

Isn't her 15 minutes over yet? *NM* Mossman - 08/02/2010 02:45:58 AM 357 Views
This only obscures the rational reasons for duly decrying her political popularity. Moooooooo. *NM* Burr - 08/02/2010 03:19:45 AM 326 Views
I disagree, I think it underscores it. Joel - 08/02/2010 03:39:57 AM 525 Views
Or they might believe that a far left liberal random thoughts - 08/02/2010 04:16:51 AM 542 Views
Calling someone who needs a cheat sheet for their talking points stupid isn't an ad hominem, IMHO. Joel - 08/02/2010 12:13:36 PM 537 Views
soory but your wrong, again random thoughts - 08/02/2010 02:23:31 PM 496 Views
You shouldn't need reminders of your major themes after two years pushing them. Joel - 08/02/2010 02:55:22 PM 528 Views
I used to work in a call center and had a note to remind me to talk slower random thoughts - 08/02/2010 05:54:25 PM 652 Views

*shrugs* If you're going to suggest sex ed is harmful, unnecessary and promotes promiscuity... Joel - 10/02/2010 08:34:16 AM 623 Views
so if you don't support the liberal agenda your family is fair game for attack? nice to you admit it random thoughts - 10/02/2010 06:26:30 PM 556 Views
Um, no, if you're going to demand everyone follow your advice it better not be disastrous for you. Joel - 11/02/2010 05:29:01 AM 542 Views
Do you have anb example of when she demanded everyone follow her advice? random thoughts - 11/02/2010 05:33:17 AM 592 Views
Honestly, her sex ed position seems so muddled to me it's hard to say Joel - 11/02/2010 06:50:39 AM 745 Views
That's a bit silly Isaac - 08/02/2010 08:40:25 PM 690 Views
I'm perfectly happy to discuss her positions; I just think Huckabee does a better job of it. Joel - 09/02/2010 10:26:54 AM 710 Views
Well, let's discuss some of these points Isaac - 09/02/2010 07:13:33 PM 715 Views

Ironically, Palin seems to agree this is different than using a teleprompter for a speech. Joel - 11/02/2010 09:05:19 AM 709 Views
Again, two seperate things Isaac - 11/02/2010 09:51:15 PM 525 Views
Agreed, but Palin and other Republicans, not I, drew the comparison. Joel - 15/02/2010 01:02:25 PM 673 Views

I disagree. For all we know she has a learning disability. "Disability" does not equal "stupid". Tashmere - 09/02/2010 03:23:24 PM 610 Views
A possibility I hadn't considered, true, and sorry if I gave offense. Joel - 10/02/2010 08:25:52 AM 736 Views
