FOX “News” Gives Caribou Barbie a Hand Job
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more desperate-or more stupid-attempt to make an idiot look good.
I thought Caribou Barbie’s MSM hagiographers were doing a bang-up job of concealing her ignorance, but conealing it is, at least, all most of them are guilty of. Fox “News” has gone them all one better, and attempted to turn the idiot into a genius.
They used one of their resident geniuses to get the job done, of course…
As ThinkProgress reported on Saturday night, paid Fox News contributor Sarah Palin was caught using “hand”-written notes during a Q & A session at the National Tea Party Convention this weekend. Ironically, during the appearance, Palin also criticized President Obama for using a teleprompter during speeches.
On Fox & Friends this morning, the hosts defended their colleague’s Telepalmer notes. Carlson suggested that it was a brilliantly clever plot to draw attention to Obama’s use of a teleprompter:
CARLSON: I think she did it on purpose. I think she did it on purpose, yeah. Because it’s an exact opposite of reading off the teleprompter with a script written for you with every word in a sentence and here’s she’s just taking crib notes on her hand. It makes her look like she can just talk off the cuff and she just jotted down a few couple notes before she went out to give a big long speech.
DOOCY: I think she did it because she probably does it a lot. I do that all the time. [...]
KILMEADE: But to sit there and look at, and do the interview and look down at her hand, I think that is — like you said before, Gretchen — folksy, absolutely, down-to-earth, I can identify. But if you’re going to write on your hand, why not just say, ’staffer, hand me a card.’ And then it would be okay.
CARLSON: Nah, like I said, I think it was on purpose. But anyway, we we may never know.
In the lengthy volumes of Caribou Barbie’s apologists, this one has to be the most twisted-up one I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure that childbirth could be much harder than getting on the air and spewing this stupid tripe.
This will no doubt warm what passes for the heart of the white trash Narcissist, but it ought to give any viewer of FOX “News” cause to wonder just what in the hell he or she is actually gaining from the experience.

That would be just spectacular and prove what a quick witted, brilliant political force-to-be-reckoned with Nanookie is if it were true. JJ at Unrepentant Old Hippie has photo proof that she took a sheaf of papers the size of “War and Peace” to the podium with her for her 45 minute, teleprompter-free little chat.

The scribbles on her hand were just to get her through the 3 pre-screened questions from her adoring, retarded fans. (isn’t satire wonderful?)

Just Watch: by 2011, Caribou Barbie will have proven to have been nothing more than a diversion for the real GOP candidates….

That may be, Vig. I don’t think she’s in it for anything but the baubles. This is one money grubbing piece of white trash.

Those were the answers to the questions she knew she would be asked. You knew the Foxness monster would spin it for her. That is what they di.

The FIXED Noise crew were just doing what their bosses tell them to do.
Many public speakers bring notes to an event. I recall college debate class and I always brought notes. No harm, no foul. What was strange to me about Le Sarah is, she wrote four words on her hand. She didn’t take 3×5 cards or prepared notes but four words. I mean she couldn’t remember four words without scribbling them on her hand? How can her short term memory be so poor?

I dunno, Christopher. Drugs? Inbreeding? Beatings? Ignorance?
