She may not be presidential, but she's nobody's Fool

Evidently there was a lot of flap about the fact that during a Q&A time after her keynote speech in Nashville Saturday night, she glanced at six words of "notes" she had on her hand. Having used "hand notes" during speeches myself, let me add that there are no rules against notes. It wasn't as if she were cheating on a test. Did it look good when she glanced at her hand? No, but where is the same criticism when Obama uses teleprompters to speak to elementary students in a library. Or pronounces the word "corpsman" (as in CORE-mun) as corPSman just last week. This article makes an interesting point about that and other observations regarding Sarah Palin's continued rise in credibility despite the continued attacks.

Note to Governor Palin: If it's wrong from Rham to use the "R" word, it is equally wrong for Rush. The reason you were tempted to give Rush a pass is because he has been in your corner on a number of occasions. Your mistake was calling for a resignation over the use of an offensive word. That is why you and your vocal friend were temporarily at odds on the issue. What you should have said about Rham is something based on principle and not "word police policy".... something like, "You know, it is from the heart that the mouths speaks. Rham is just showing us what kind of man he is on the inside." That principle is true on both sides of the aisle and it is true for talk shows and White house advisors, though I will admit the bar should be higher the closer one is to power and the presidency.
