In case you forgot, Palin was caught clearly peeking at her left hand during a question and answer session at February's National Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN, with the phrases "Energy", "Budget cuts" (with the word budget crossed out), "Tax" and "Lift American spirits" written on her palm. At a fundraiser on Friday for the Ohio Right to Life organization, Sarah Palin attacked the media for criticizing her for using her hand as a cheat sheet at last month's convention.
Along with stating her disbelief in the fact that "some in the media got all wigged out" about her cheat sheet, Palin also claimed those same members of the media were unable to "argue the content of the words". Content? Here is a portion of her answer at the point when she started looking at her palm: "It would be wise of us to start seeking some divine intervention again in this country so that we can be safe and secure and prosperous again. To have people involved in government who aren't afraid to go that route, not so afraid of the political correctness that, you know, they have to be afraid of what the media would say about them if they were to proclaim their reliance on our creator." Wow, that sure is some hard hitting political content.
In defense of her seventh grade actions, Palin attempts to paraphrase Isaiah 49:16 in her speech: "If it was good enough for God, scribbling on the palm of his hand, it's good enough for me, for us. He says, in that passage, he says 'I wrote your name on the palm of my hand to remember you' and I'm like, 'Okay, I'm in good company.'" Unfortunately for Palin, the actual Bible verse is "Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me", which alludes to the Jewish custom of enthusiastically puncturing hands with a representation of the individual's city and temple.
The most frustrating aspect of this whole storyline is that Palin described her cheat sheet as "a poor man's version of a teleprompter" on an episode of "Hannity" on FOX News. (This is clearly another pathetic shot by the Republicans at President Obama's use of a teleprompter for some of his speeches.) However, as you can see from the right hand side of the image above, Queen Hypocrisy herself used a teleprompter during her completely overrated address at the Republican National Convention. (And trust me, there are plenty more where that came from.)
