Palm-gate

For once, I have thought of an amusing turn-about before Kathy Shaidle did!

In her 'Sarah Palin's Redneck Teleprompter' post about how some "liberal" bloggers (and columnists, no doubt) are trying to equate Palin's cribbing some notes on her palm with the Teleprompter Kid's dependence on his TelePrompTer, Kathy Shaidle links to the Small Dead Animals blog postof the same title (in which SDA juxtaposes a video of the TK in non-action with a photo of Palin's hand), saying "Damn, wish I'd thought of that!"

My first thought on reading about the "Palm-gate" ;) flap is that Palin ought to start out a speech (this would be especially funny were she directly debating alleged-President Obama at the time) by joking, "I, too, have brought my TelePrompTer" and then simply displaying her palm.


Also, slightly off-topic, had I written Palin's GOP convention speech, in which she compared being a small-town mayor to being a "community organizer" -- except with actual responsibilities -- I'd have turned that around and said rather, "... Being a small-town mayor is sort of like bring a 'community organizer' -- except without the responsibilities."
