Everyone knows that everyone in television works off of pre-written notes. It’s a no brainer. Of course they don’t adlib everything that they say that’d be ridiculous, so don’t get my following criticism of Sarah Palin wrong.
First, watch this video…http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2010/02/08/lemon.palin.cheat.sheet.cnn?hpt=C2
It may not be the end of the world, but is it just me, or does it bother anyone else that Palin criticizes Obama for being that “charismatic guy with the teleprompter” when she’s using notes written on the bottom of her hand like a high schooler with little chance of passing their exam. First off, as I said before, all people in television, especially politicians, use teleprompters to help them with speeches. Does she expect Obama to not use one? Get real. If you’re gonna criticize the president for using a teleprompter, just like all presidents use, you shouldn’t be writing cheat sheets on the bottom of your hand. If you’re gonna do that, use a teleprompter like everyone else.
