The Writing Is On The Hand

There was a big to do about Sarah Palin writing her three main talking points on her hand before giving a speech as a private citizen. (I carry post it notes and pen to jot stuff down, and my note pad in my iPhone, so I must be stupid). Days went by while the Left made mockery and ridiculed her.

I didn't know this, but Dianne Feinstein (D Ca) in 1990 was in a debate with Pete Wilson. Afterwords it was revealed that she had three talking points written on her hand. There's pics. It broke the agreed to debate rules. The Republicans made a bit of a fuss, but it only lasted a couple days. Reported in the Jurassic Press? Not so much.

So a private citizen at a private event, weeks of jokes, disrespect and mockery. Public citizen, breaking rules at a publicly financed political event, zip.
