Super Sunday With Sarah In Texas and “Handgate” (Update with Video)

Written By : Kathleen McKinley

I had so much fun Sunday at the rally for Gov. Perry that featured Sarah Palin at the Berry Center in Houston Texas. First Ted Nugent rocked the house with the National Anthem. Dan Patrick warmed up the crowd, although they needed no warming up. I met people who came from San Antonio and Austin. Sarah Palin looked awesome in a black velvet suit and purple (yes purple) knee high suede boots. She came by about two feet from us in the media section and she is even more beautiful in real life. Piper was with her (see her in the pink shirt to Palin’s left). She was adorable. You can tell she loves doing this. Sarah talked about the independent spirit of the state of Texas and Alaska and basically all the good Republican stuff about the government that governs best is the government that governs least (AMEN!). The middle picture shows Gov. Perry making Sarah an honorary Texan!Gov. Perry is already up in the polls and this will do nothing but help him.

It seems some of the leftwing are trying to make a big deal out of Palin writing words on her hand. Seriously? It amazing to me what they try to do in their pathetic attempt to smear her. Hey, guess she didn’t have a teleprompter to give her word for word what she needed to say. But Stephen Spruiell at NRO says it best:

I’m trying really hard to figure out why certain left-wing blogs are treating this picture of Sarah Palin reading notes off her hand as some kind of major coup. The notes she had written are “Energy,” “[illegible],” Taxes,” and “Lift America’s spirits.” That’s some cheat sheet.

I get that it’s a sort of “turnabout is fair play” from the set that must be very annoyed by now at all the prompter jokes. But it misses the point of why the prompter jokes have caught on. A prompter feeds your remarks to you word for word. The idea that you would need such a device to talk to a room full of sixth graders or a meeting of your own staff is funny.

On another level, the prompter jokes took off because they reinforce the substantive argument that Obama is in over his head, because they indicate that he can’t perform the the presidency’s basic public-speaking duties without a major safety net. I’m not sure what substantive argument Palin’s hand-notes are supposed to underline, and I suspect it’s not an argument so much as an attitude. The attitude would be that writing on your hand is dumb and low-class. On the left, where this opinion of Palin already prevails, anything which reinforces it will be picked up and cheerfully passed around. And, to the extent that anyone not on the left notices this giddy snobbery, it will play to Palin’s strengths.

For example, one might say: “Unlike the guy who needs a three thousand dollar teleprompter to get out of bed in the morning, Palin speaks from concise notes like everybody else. And, like other busy moms, she sometimes writes notes on her hand.” The comeback is so obvious that, again, I really can’t figure out why Palin’s detractors are bringing this up at all.

Update: Ha! I missed this yesterday. Sarah strikes back at the looney left as only she can. She writes, “Hi Mom!” on her hand at the rally.

Here is some video of Sarah’s speech yesterday:

The rest is here.

LOL!

Gateway Pundit is reporting Sarah wrote Hi Mom! on her hand at a campaign spot this morning!

Say Hello to Our Next President!

I really can’t figure out why Palin’s detractors are bringing this up at all.

Because they have a personal deep hatred for her. She’s a threat to them, they know Palin has the support of the American people and that Obama’s numbers are slipping.

Spruiell nailed it. The issue is not that Obama uses a teleprompter but that Obama only comes across as enlightened with the assistance of the teleprompter. Obama has spoken without his teleprompter before and, in those instances, he comes off as an amateur.

Palin writes six words as a reminder of the topic of conversation and speaks off the cuff while Obama needs a teleprompter to recite a speech WORD BY WORD. Go ahead libs, keep shouting about it. It won’t hurt us one bit.
CoolCzech

The REAL irony of Sarah Palin is this:

If only MSNBC, Andy Sullivan, and All The Usual Suspects hadn’t continued absolutely obsessing over her since last November, her star may very well have faded.

As it is, THEY were the ones that gave her Facebook post about Death Panels all that attention, giving her the power to kill Obamacare with a single post.

Right now, it’s just amazing how much power this woman – now a mere private citizen – has. She can stop major policy initiatives dead in their tracks. She can deep-six the candidacy of any Republican she dislikes. She can send Rahm Emmanuel scurrying for cover merely by snorting in his direction. She’s the Mainstream Media LITERALLY in the Palm of Her Mighty Hand. This is becoming Biblical, folks!

Don’t forget that at the Repub convention when Gov. Palin was accepting the VP nomination, the teleprompter broke down. She didn’t miss a beat. Why? Well, she did something that Obama apparently can’t be bothered to do. She read her the text before the speech and memorized it.

Horrors!

I understand that Winston Churchill used to practice giving speeches in front of a mirror so he could judge how each gesture would look to someone watching him.

It sure seems to me thatMs. Palin is getting a net benefit from the notoriety and exposure on these “exposés”, rather than the net loss the purveyors of the negative stories had hoped for. I wonder how long it will take the MSM to ‘rediscover’ that old saw about there being no such thing as bad publicity.
Robert_Ingersoll

Bother looking at the ‘words’ on her hand? Apparently she screwed up even on crib notes in her palm because she struck through the word ‘budget’.
Mike_M

And unlike Obama’s omnipresent teleprompter and Blackberry, there’s nobody on the other end of Sarah Palin’s hand. Partisanship and policy aside, it’s disturbing when the President seems unable to function without a digital Grima Wormtounge constantly whispering into his ear.
CoolCzech

I think the reason they forget that, martinhale, is because the MSM refuses to accept just how deeply despised they are by most Americans. They honestly can’t see that when they say Sarah Palin is the Antichrist, most Americans immediately think, “Well, if the MSM is terrified of her, she must be pretty good, then!”

Let’s remember the last conservative the MSM was horrified of: they called him a dolt, an amiable dunce, a man that did poorly in press conference, an “uninformed” man. Mister Reagan, meet Sarah Palin!

Nixon wonders if George Soros has real time access to the TOTUS, or if he has to program it ahead of time before the Obamamteur speaks?

SO WHAT?
Jack Schite

Net benefit by being too dumb to remember republican talking points? Yeah keep listening to Faux news.
Mike_M

What scares the media most about Palin is her ability to bypass them in communicating directly to the American people.

Remember, at first the MSM was enfatuated with Palin, giving her rock star status and a constant stream of headlines. They turned on her when it became apparent that she was very effective at campaign rallies, and was reaching voters before she had paid proper fealty to the establishment media. By the time she got around to doing interviews, the media already hated her and was openly hostile to her when she sat down with them.

After leaving office the pace has accelerated. Facebook has become her editorial page, and the talk shows and newspapers are playing catch up with no chance to filter her message. Palin’s successful book tour was conducted with little to no MSM involvement, and her appearance on Oprah was very much a matter of choice rather than her needing to kiss Oprah’s ring for publicity.

She’s single-handedly destroying the media model that has existed for 50 years and given them tremendous influence over US politics. If you’re familiar with The Fountainhead, she’s Howard Roark…succeeding despite refusing to play the collectivist game and they hate her for it.

The current running joke is if Obama wanted to write notes on himself, he would have to be three times the size of Michael Moore and stand naked in front of the crowd. “Shrikage” would definitely be an issue for Obama. Lol!

Yeah keep listening to Faux news.

Keep fellating Gibbs and Obama for your worldview.

In less important news Iran will be enriching more uranium. Meanwhile, the MSM will continue to focus on “Palmgate.”

So she decided that that was a topic she wasn’t going to cover, what does that have do with ‘screwing up’, dipshit?

You have got to be a pathetic partisan Liberal jackass and momumentally scarde of Palin to be making a big dal out of this.

I have not see this kind of hate and fear and vitrol thrown at a Conservative woman since Tom Wark went on one of his classics rages against Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter.

I followed the link to DU.com, the responses from the left were priceless!

Don’t be surprised if the left’s reaction to this and the Tebrow ad is to start hating all mothers.

“The current running joke is if Obama wanted to write notes on himself, he would have to be three times the size of Michael Moore and stand naked in front of the crowd.”

I’m visualizing an Obama vs. Barry White debate. Obama talks breifly, Barry White talks, and talks, and talks, looking down behind the podium every so often.

Would make a great SNL sketch if NBC was interested in comedy instead of their leftist media agenda and sucking up to Obama for GE subsidies.

You have to be even dumber to not be able to speak to SIXTH GRADERS without a teleprompter!!

At least Palin can speak extemperaniously without sounding like Bush or Mel Tillis.

Is that your standard now? Must be a weak field for 2012.

I guess when the next best alternatives are Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich…

Reposted from the other thread:

Your darling just got caught looking like a rank amateur that couldn’t remember the words “Energy”, “Tax Cuts” and “Lift American Spirits”.

She had to write six words on her hand so she wouldn’t forget them.

Do you really think anyone is afraid of that? Seriously.

It’s obvious that you are and so are many on the Left. If she was the sure loser you tell us, you wouldn’t bother.

Seriously!

Your terror is palpable… and I love it. Please keep telling us how irrelevant and powerless she is.

I didn’t say she was a loser, irrelevant or powerless.

He has lost an election, but she does have influence and power.

What she is not is scary.

Sorry, SHE has lost an election.

Don’t want to confuse Nixon anymore than usual.

I believe it’s pronounced “D-Vega”.
http://TheNixonTape.Blogspot.Com Dick_Nixon

Vega, as our resident third worlder, can you tell Nixon what the spanish translation is to “Barak Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like George Washington”?

BTW, thanks for voting for Obama. God forbid we have anyone as dumb as you obots on our side of the fence. 1.6 trillion in deficits. But, Barry can talk well, after all Biden said he was clean and articulate. And we all know from you it’s how you speak, not how you fail to govern as Barry has done.

Well Vega, Since Obama is the person that sounds like Mel Tillis WITH his magical TP I’d say YOUR standards are the ones that are low. Like Reagan, Palin can speak, she just doesn’t come across the same way. And she still sounds better than Odrama and more intelligent than Biden, Hillary, or Pelousi.
