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.

Palin reads Cheat Notes. - 08/02/2010 12:43:02 AM 1424 Views
Is it really worse than reading answers on a teleprompter? sorry, I see no big deal here. *NM* - 08/02/2010 01:02:49 AM 252 Views
yes yes it is. a teleprompter is subtle - 08/02/2010 01:22:17 AM 593 Views
a teleprompter is not subtle - 08/02/2010 02:25:46 PM 522 Views
staring openly and blatantly at your hand is? *NM* - 08/02/2010 03:09:25 PM 323 Views
I think if anyone else had done the dame thing we wouldn't even had heard about - 08/02/2010 06:13:44 PM 524 Views
you're right, we probably would not have heard about it - 08/02/2010 07:56:09 PM 563 Views
Yes for what the notes were - 08/02/2010 12:44:35 PM 557 Views
no biggie *NM* - 08/02/2010 02:00:12 AM 272 Views
Isn't her 15 minutes over yet? *NM* - 08/02/2010 02:45:58 AM 357 Views
This only obscures the rational reasons for duly decrying her political popularity. Moooooooo. *NM* - 08/02/2010 03:19:45 AM 326 Views
I disagree, I think it underscores it. - 08/02/2010 03:39:57 AM 525 Views
Or they might believe that a far left liberal - 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. - 08/02/2010 12:13:36 PM 537 Views
soory but your wrong, again - 08/02/2010 02:23:31 PM 496 Views
You shouldn't need reminders of your major themes after two years pushing them. - 08/02/2010 02:55:22 PM 528 Views
That's a bit silly - 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. - 09/02/2010 10:26:54 AM 710 Views
Well, let's discuss some of these points - 09/02/2010 07:13:33 PM 715 Views

Ironically, Palin seems to agree this is different than using a teleprompter for a speech. - 11/02/2010 09:05:19 AM 709 Views
Again, two seperate things - 11/02/2010 09:51:15 PM 525 Views
Agreed, but Palin and other Republicans, not I, drew the comparison. - 15/02/2010 01:02:25 PM 673 Views
Just to get the obligatory Feinstein comment out of the way... - 15/02/2010 11:43:42 PM 735 Views

Ben was asleep at the switch, clearly. - 29/03/2010 02:48:46 PM 681 Views
oh yes, and the right never uses ad hominem - 08/02/2010 03:56:42 PM 491 Views
This is petty and also rather ignorant - 08/02/2010 03:59:40 AM 688 Views
There had to be better ways, though - 08/02/2010 08:36:50 AM 445 Views

Basically yes - 08/02/2010 06:57:16 PM 558 Views

Let me get this straight. - 08/02/2010 03:59:40 AM 602 Views
Okay, folks, it's not that she had a cheat sheet. - 08/02/2010 04:39:06 AM 558 Views
Style is EVERYTHING, dammit! *NM* - 08/02/2010 05:34:14 AM 284 Views
As Cheat Sheet was raised as an objection, so it clearly was - 08/02/2010 06:16:57 AM 661 Views
It's completely unprofessional - 08/02/2010 08:27:47 AM 521 Views
why? - 08/02/2010 02:29:44 PM 544 Views
well it's all she's got going for her. *NM* - 08/02/2010 03:10:37 PM 234 Views
You know that's a good question - 08/02/2010 05:19:10 PM 507 Views
maybe you are just projecting - 08/02/2010 06:15:57 PM 512 Views
well what is the association we have with notes on hands? - 08/02/2010 07:58:41 PM 536 Views
or people on the far left are being grossly disingenuous - 08/02/2010 08:18:06 PM 650 Views
dude, only posted it because it was funny - 08/02/2010 08:43:55 PM 506 Views

I also totally agree with that first sentence. *NM* - 08/02/2010 03:48:24 PM 274 Views
Much ado about nothing. She was just making sure she didn't forget anything. - 09/02/2010 02:00:56 AM 487 Views
No, humble would have been note cards. *NM* - 09/02/2010 05:55:27 AM 252 Views
