When I initially heard the rumors that Sarah Palin wrote notes on her hand, then used them during her recent Tea Party address and appearance, well, I didn’t believe it. Palin, after all, takes tons upon tons upon tons of shots from the left (I know, because I’ve offered up a slew of them). And while I hardly consider her to be one of our great thinkers, the woman has surely been studying since her disastrous VP run from a year ago.
Hell, even when I saw these photographs I thought, ‘Nah, probably no big deal …’
But then, shockingly, I caught this video:
In case you can’t tell, the words “Energy,” “Tax” and “Lift American Spirits” are clearly visible. There’s also the words “Budget cuts” with “Budget” crossed out.
Let me be clear: There are very few Republicans I would ever support in a national election. However, there are many Republicans I can at least understand GOPers backing. Mitt Romney is a tool, but he’s not dumb, and his resume is legit. Same goes for Lamar Alexander, Tim Pawlenty, Kay Bailey Hutchison. Do I agree with these people on 99 percent of the issues? No. But they certainly would make credible Republican candidates.
Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is a fool. Were John McCain not insane enough to have picked her, she’d still be in Alaska, an obscure, overwhelmed governor desperately trying to find the spotlight. Instead, we’re stuck with her; stuck with the Tea Party crazies insisting she’s the one person who can save America.
Save America? How about speaking without having to stare down at your palms?
