So yesterday, White House press flak Gibbs went after Sarah Palin for writing notes on her hand...which she did during her remarks at the Tea Party Convention this past weekend. The notes were apparently "reminders" for Palin to hit hot-button topics of energy and taxes during her keynote remarks at the Convention.
Gibbs, as portrayed in the Washington Post article (with video) makes fun of Palin's crib notes, adding the words "hope" and "change" to a shopping list -- eggs, milk, bread, which Gibbs crosses out.
A couple things strike me as ironic about Gibbs' attempt to poke fun at Palin.
First, even with the "palm writings" Palin utilizes, at least she's using her own words, talking to real people. Gibbs' boss, Barack Obama, uses a TelePrompter for EVERYTHING...even in allegedly "impromptu" remarks...in part because he is known for stepping in it when he speaks off the cuff.
Second, if such antics were even attempted by a Republican press secretary criticizing a Democrat female, such antics would be lambasted by the liberal/left as anti-woman. But, it appears the mainstream media gives Gibbs a pass.
Third, why is it that the Democrats and the Obama Administration so fear Sarah Palin? Clearly, her message has hit a "sore spot" in Obama-land.
My end thought is this..."how's that hopey-changey-thing working for ya?"
Talk about a White House searching desperately for a message...feebly attempting to grasp onto anything that gets traction.
