Sarah Palin is the gift that just keeps on giving.<\/p>\n

The former half-term Alaska governor went to the Tea Party Convention in Nashville and blasted President Obama for, among other things, his generous use of a TelePrompter.<\/p>\n

Then, during a Q&A, she sneaked a peek at her hand while responding to a question about her vision for America. It seems she didn’t need a TelePrompter; no, she needed crib notes scribbled on her hand to remind her of the talking points all of us out here in Flyover Country thought she had memorized by now.<\/p>\n

That’s what we get for thinking, yes?<\/p>\n

Why all the hoo-ha over this? Well, no one would have said a thing had she shown up with note cards to which she could refer. Instead, she tried a little sleight of hand to hide the crib notes. What would President Reagan — one of Palin’s alleged heroes — have thought of that? The late president was well-known for his use of note cards. But he surely knew how to communicate verbally in public when he spoke about the principles upon which he stood.<\/p>\n

Thanks again, Gov. Palin, for the good laugh. Many of us need it right about now.<\/p>\n\n
