Sarah Palin’s biggest complaint/defense of her past performance is that the “liberal” or, my favorite, “lamestream media” is picking on small details. That they are somehow holding her up to a standard that is higher than most. And her followers eat this shit up. How dare the media ask questions, demand substance and look for depth?

If you’re one of these people, then perhaps you shouldn’t watch this video. It kinda encapsulates the double-standard that Palin, herself, wants to live by. You see she’s the first person to complain that Obama uses the teleprompter too much…

…well at least he hasn’t resorted to the “I’m going to cheat on my exam” method of crib notes during his Q&A. He just leveled the entire House Republican Caucus at their retreat on national television. (For those of you who watch Fox, they cut away during the parts where he completely destroyed their talking points but you can catch the entire thing on the White House site. Send complaints to Roger Ailes c/o Fox News.) And he did that without having answers hand-fed to him by scribbled notes on the palm of his hand.

I guess tickets to this Tea Party event were upwards of a few hundred dollars each. And I would gladly pay that amount to see Sarah Palin stand in front of the House Democratic Caucus because I guarantee you it would be a totally different outcome. And I don’t even like them all that much.

But I think the kicker of this is what she did scrawl on her palm.

“Energy”
“Budget Cuts”
“Tax”
“Lift American Spirits”

She needed fucking crib notes for this? What a totally empty vessel.
