I disagree. For all we know she has a learning disability. "Disability" does not equal "stupid".

There are so many possible disabilities. But if someone has recognized theirs and taken steps to compensate, that doesn't mean that they are stupid or incompetent. Even if their method of compensating is embarrassing. I put rubber bands around my wrist that I can't take off until I have finished doing something. It is much easier than tying a string around my finger. People chuckle over it. Never meanly though. And they never call me stupid.
I am well known for misplacing things. This causes me to wonder is Ms Palin has the same problem and writes on her hand -just like I do at times -to make sure she doesn't lose the information. (I write down when I clocked out for lunch or notes of things the carriers need so I don't forget.)
I communicate better with written language than spoken language. Maybe she does too. It is easy to forget to say important things when under pressure or distracted. But still, nobody at work thinks that I am stupid. I am very good at what I do and when someone has a question, they come to me. When it comes down to it, I am incredibly organized and efficient. Except when I momentarily misplace something.

You can see why this is a bit of a hot button with me. I have spent my life developing compensations for my ADHD even before I knew that was what I had. (Other people may not call me stupid anymore, but I still have to defend against me calling myself that.)
