Gasp! Sarah Palin used a TELEPROMPTER?
by Kos

(2/6/10 SP: “This is about the people, and it’s bigger than any one king or queen of a tea party, and it’s a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter,” she said.)
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/us/politics/08palin.html?_r=1

Palin knew her crowd, and she knew that line would get some hootin' and holerin'. Teleprompters are BAD! Obama uses them! Snicker!

But wait, what's that reflected on her glasses, in her recently released video making the Arizona tragedy all about herself?

AND THIS:
It's a standard tactic -- the right-wing media personality can't subject herself to questions or muster the confidence to deal with cross-examinations, so to communicate, Palin's forced to hide behind statements others write for her, and then upload them. It's not exactly the stuff Profiles in Courage are made of.

1. No palm notes today, this speech is SERIES!!1!

[ecstatic]

2. and she did a horrible job. Pausing at the wrong times, etc.

in between her drivel.

[SoCalDem]

3. and putting the wrong emphasis on phrases..like

dueling PISTOLS, instead of DUELING pistols:)

[gratuitous]

4. ZOMG! They've gotten to Queen Sarah!

Red alert! She's not even winking, that's how you can tell. Save us, Jonah Goldberg!

[Fleshdancer]

5. That can't be a teleprompter!

It's obviously a liberty box where the words of freedom scroll down directly from god. Comparing this wonderful patriot machine to a dirty liberal teleprompter means you are victimizing Palin. It's like the freakin' Holocaust over here!

:sarcasm:

[Richardo]

12. "Liberty box"!!!!

:rofl: + :thumbsup:

[Crankie Avalon]

6. Wow, reading AND concentrating on keeping her mouth from hanging slack open between the words...

...she can do it all!!!

[LemmingWarrior]

11. You noticed that too

I thought a couple of times it seemed like her mouth was slacking--especially when she got to the parts about "why that single evil man did this" and what's with the smile.....

[LemmingWarrior]

7. Good call, kpete

Being a hypocrites is ingrained. Republicans blinked first. Makes you wonder why they didn't have a
"Plan B" in the event this violent rhetoric had it's desired effect but Palin really was speechless for days.

[Warren DeMontague]

8. That expression on her face makes her look like she's taking a shit. nt

9. Scripted Sarah

She never goes before a camera or an audience without her handlers writing every little thing down for her.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. I wonder if SNL and Tina Fey will be willing to tackle this one

It is only Wednesday, they have time to parody this if they dare



This begs to be ridiculed by professionals.

[LemmingWarrior]

13. Probably not

no one wants to go that low--using a phase like "blood libel" that woman has no conscience. "Those who embrace evil and call it good" a Sarah Palin quote. :evilfrown:

[unblock]

14. any optometrists out there?

my glasses are convex on the outside, as i thought all were. but if that were the case here, the rectangular light would be coming from above and to her left, where i would expect to find normal lighting for filming/televising, though i would expect these to be round, not rectangular.

if the rectangular light is coming from our vantage point, as would be the case with a teleprompter, then i would expect the reflected image to be in the middle, covering up her pupils. that is, unless the outside of her glasses were a different shape. for instance, if they were perfectly flat, then we would see the teleprompter reflection only if the tilt of her glasses were juuust right.

is that the case here? if so, are these special glasses for use with teleprompters?

15. I sure am glad

that we finally found her using a teleprompter. How often does the President use one??? Just saying, maybe we should find something else to talk about
