Well, this is ironic. Moments after criticizing President Obama as "charasmatic guy with a teleprompter" at the National Tea Party convention tonight, Sarah Palin sat down for a Q&A session—and appeared to read notes written on her hand.
First up, check out Palin's crack at Obama, given during her keynote address.
Now, look at what happened a few minutes after her speech ended, during the Q&A session (the moment in question occurs about 20 seconds into the video).
Do you see what we see? Did this woman seriously write notes on her hand to assist in the answering of questions she was given in advance? And did she do so minutes after criticizing the President for being fond of his teleprompter? *FACEPALM*
And for good measure, here's a video (of a photo, it seems) in which you can clearly see something on Palin's hand during her speech. So, unless she randomly got a henna tattoo in Nashville, it would appear that Palin went the old school cheat sheet route.
Cheating in the worst way possible... going rogue, indeed.
Update: Via HuffPo, here's confirmation of what we all feared.
It looks like the words Palin has written on her hand are: "Energy" "Budget (cut?)" "Tax" "Lift American spirits"
Ahh sweet Earl Grey Revolution! Sarah Palin knew that speech like the back of her hand. The Q&A answers, however, were on the front of her hand.
Or so it appeared.
During the Q&A following her speech at the Tea Party Convention, Ms. Palin appeared to read from her hand in answering.
The following image was caught by some sharp-eyed Twitter users, notably @jryanlaw
UPDATE #2: A high-quality video on youtube seems to prove that something was indeed on the palm of Palin's hand. The question is what.
Close-Up:
UPDATE #1: And, via ThinkProgress, the Video:
Crib Notes? This potential presidential candidate and "movement" leader was using crib notes to answer basic questions?
This would mean:
A) That she knew the questions beforehand and the whole thing was a farce. (Likely.)
and
B) That she still couldn't answer the previously agreed-upon questions without a little extra help.
If true, this is supremely rich coming immediately after a speech in which Palin took a shot at President Obama for using a teleprompter to read his prepared speeches.
You can bet that the President wasn't reading scribbles off his extremities while he sparred with Republicans and Democrats in an unscripted format in his recent Q&As.
Palin, on the other hand, seems to need a cheat-sheet just to get through a contrived lovefest with a smitten interviewer and an adoring audience.
I'm no fan of the Tea Party movement - if it can be called such - but if this is their leader I actually sympathize with them.

Typical R'tard - Obama using a teleprompter=BAD! Palin writing on her hand evidently must be just fine.

If you look real close the first of the seven words on her hand is "Energy". This would make it appear that these words are to help remain her of things she wants to make sure to talk about.
You know, you people could not compare apples to apples if you tried. Reading an entire speech from a teleprompter is a far cry from reading seven words on a hand. And, I really doubt that she answered all the questions from those seven words.
Also, it is disclosed, RIGHT UP FRONT, that the questions are prepared questions from ones submitted from the audience. Liberals almost never disclose anything up front. Instead they plant people in the audience with loaded questions.
It is really sad and pathetic that liberals like you even have the right to vote. It is one thing to simply disagree with someone but to make personal attacks and actively ignore obvious facts just to try to prove your point is another thing.
Oh, and yes, I took my shot with a personal attack. Since that is the language you speak and understand, I wanted to make sure you could understand at least part of what I said.

WOW! So what? Obama needs a teleprompter (and still can't pronounce words right). So who is the real dummy?
Really, he doesn't know that in 'corpsman' the p is silent? Hey, I laughed at Dan Quayl for 'potatoe' (back when I was a democrat), but not to pronounce 'corpsman' right THREE DIFFERENT TIMES IN ONE SPEECH? That isn't 'funny' that is sad.

She's not, there is no leader. Just like our founding fathers. It's a group of men (and this time) women who have pledged their lives, liberties and fortunes to fight the tyranny of a king.
Only this time, the king is in Washington DC, not London. And the king will hear us!

It's the new rule of politics. For the left personal attacks (the more vile, the better) are just fine, If anyone on the right made a personal attack on a democrat or their family member... that person would have the ire of three broadcast networks, three cable news channels (that are almost all biased to the left), two weekly news magazines and hundreds of newspapers.
It's anything goes to re-elect King Barack. Democrats treat elections like bloodsport, republicans still think there's rules set by the Marcus of Queensbury to politics.
The reason McCain/ Palin didn't work is because McCain didn't mind losing with 'dignity', Palin wanted to win. Republicans got to start wanting to win.
