Back in February, Sarah Palin was widely mocked for writing crib notes on her hand for an appearance at a Tea Party convention. Now the former vice-presidential candidate has used the trick again.

Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Palin criticized the Obama administration's plan to let the Bush tax cuts expire at the end of the year.

"(Obama's) commitment to let previous tax cuts expire are going to lead to even fewer job opportunities for Americans," Palin said. "It's idiotic to think about increasing taxes at a time like this."

"My palm isn't large enough to have written all my notes down on what this tax increase, what it will result in," Palin continued.

Host Chris Wallace noticed that Palin did indeed have something written on her palm. "Can I ask you, what do you have written on your hand?" he asked.

"$3.8 trillion in the next 10 years," Palin responded, "so I didn't say $3.7 trillion and then get dinged by the liberals saying I didn't know what I was talking about."

5. Very subtle.

This is probably how my one post on FR before they cancelled my account read to the regulars there. The difference is, what I wrote was true and insightful (and completely refudiated by the Freeps). You have decided to repeat a truly idiotic republican talking point instead. It didn't work!

6. Nobody would complain about Palin's palm if she weren't suchh a fucking hypocrite.

If you use teleprompters yourself, as she does herself, then don't go after somebody else for doing it unless you really do want to get called out for it. There are certainly many things to criticize Obama for but using a teleprompter ain't one of 'em unless you truly think spending hours and hours a week learning speeches by heart is a productive use of time.

4. Stupidity Will Be Replaced

The idiot will be replaced. The Republicans are not THAT stupid!

7. Sarah thinks she's such a wit

She thinks gotcha snot snorts are wit. There should be a drum roll like vaudeville used to have as backup for every gotcha she gets out there.

10. She's half right on that wit part.

11. Good one. Tharump thump!

That was the vaudevillian drum roll

8. She can't remember "3.8"?

Anyone who can't remember "3.8" for a few minutes without writing it on her hand clearly has cognitive problems of some kind.

Actually, this looks like another example of a conservative "doubling down". When we catch them in a lie, they repeat the lie. When they do something stupid, they do it again, as if to say "See? I always do this. So I wasn't being stupid before".

Conservatives sometimes remind me of an 8-year-old on the playground. Other times, it's a 2-year-old in a crib.

9. No, she can't remember 3.8....

ironic, since it's also her IQ.

12. Pure insanity, she is totally divorced from reality

Increasing taxes on the rich would absolutely make the country better off. The bias against taxation is simply a fantasy that has no basis in reality. The idea that decreasing taxes will increase government cash flow is also a fantasy with no basis in reality.

But the difference between pulling 3.8 or 3.7 directly out of her ass is what she is worried about.

13. Don't forget---the left doesn't like her because she's pretty

I don't remember who said that but it was used as a reason as to why 'some' people don't like her.

14. Good Gawd

Even if I take ideology completely out of it Sarah is still the kind of woman that makes me want to retch.
