Sarah’s Big Speech
Well, the big event has come and gone and given us, as we suspected, plenty of laughs. There are 3 things I would particularly like to ridicule.
First, her criticism of Barack Obama for using a teleprompter. This joke is as pointless as a balloon and as stale as old arugula. Everybody uses a teleprompter. The weatherman and the sportscasters, as Sarah should well know, use teleprompters. Singers at karaoke bars use a teleprompter, or something very like it. Politicians and public speakers of all sorts use teleprompters, and have been, I’m guessing, for the last 50 years, at least. It’s not really high tech.
Before teleprompters, they would have used notes. On paper.
So, how did Sarah Palin deliver her speech? There is a photo out there (see Huffpo) of our very own Bible Spice with notes written on her hand. Her criticism of teleprompters, it would seem, is just that they are elitist, and real Americans write on their hand.
My favorite line in the reporting on the speech, though, was the bit at the beginning, where they said “a crowd of less than 1,000.”
