One of the enduring right-wing obsessions the last two years has been Obama's use of teleprompters. Just do a Google search and countless results. Sure, it's idiotic -- every president and major public figure uses teleprompters. But reality and wingnuttery don't mix, and it's now an article of faith among wingnuts that teleprompters are mock-worthy and a sign of incompetence.
That's why Sarah Palin delivered this gem at a Tea Party conference:
“This is about the people, and it’s bigger than any one king or queen of a tea party, and it’s a lot bigger than any charismatic guy with a teleprompter,” she said.
That was just one of several digs at President Obama.
Palin knew her crowd, and she knew that line would get some hootin' and holerin'. Teleprompters are BAD! Obama uses them! Snicker!
But wait, what's that reflected on her glasses, in her recently released video making the Arizona tragedy all about herself?
