Of course, this was just the latest in a long line of such comments from right-wingers who seem to think that none of their heroes use Teleprompters.

The irony — nay, hypocrisy — in this case is that Palin’s speech to the CPAC crowd was read from a Teleprompter, as the photo above makes clear.

There’s nothing ignoble about using a Teleprompter. The device is simply a substitute for text or notes written on paper or cards. On at least one occasion, Sarah Palin found herself without a Teleprompter and referred instead to notes she had written on the PALM OF HER HAND.
