So anyway, last week while watching “Sarah Palin’s Alaska”, I could have sworn I saw a teleprompter on her home studio camera, but I didn’t care enough to do a screen grab. After all, there are so many lies to deconstruct and so little time. But then last night, as I was watching the latest episode (which I must confess is now a fun distraction from her tweets), she was showing us her studio in the house she built next door to her home on Lake Lucille. Sarah and Todd were making a show of how it was just the two of them putting on her little show. And while she made cute and Todd told her her hair was above his pay grade, I saw the evil socialist machine staring me down, clear as day. So clear that I could read the logo. Yes, a teleprompter.
Who makes Ms Palin’s teleprompter? Autoscript. The number one selling teleprompter. The gold standard in teleprompters. The elite, if you will, of teleprompters. The farthest cry from the “poor man’s teleprompter” as you can get.
Oh am I loving this!
Look I am not even going to bore you with my take on this story.
I am simply going to urge you all to click the link and head on over to Politicususa and read what "the other Sarah" had to say about this delightful revelation.
And while you are there please take a moment to give her a nice word or two for a job very well done.
Gee I wonder how the Grizzled Mama will feel about her hypocrisy being exposed like this?

| Jesus Todd! Why didn't you tell me the teleprompter was in the flippin' shot? |
Let's take bets that she says the teleprompter came with the rest of equipment FAUX provided....and just because it's there doesn't mean she uses it...
ReplyDeleteRilly..you betcha!
Yeah Tawd, "flipping" this and that. George Carlin said "shoot" was just another word for "Sh@t."
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you just say what you mean, Sarah? Don't get wee'd wee'd up, or god forbid pissed off. That kettle is goin' blow sometime soon. Sarah, the grifter that keeps on givin'!
Bwahaha! So who feed the words into the prompter? Does she or Tawd do it? Perhaps Bristol does it in her LLC role of advisor.
ReplyDeleteWay too funny. Hey Sarah! You are so busted. BTW, what are your thoughts on the repeal of DADT? Your twitterness has been quiet the last 24 hours. Cat got your tongue?
Her statements on Fox are so garbled that it's hard to believe that she is actually reading the stuff. That is, unless she also wrote her own material.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, ya know, it's just me and Todd in that cement teevee room in there, workin hard, tellin America the r'il d'il perhaps against the filtered slant of Lamestream Media news. You know, from the good clean wildness of Alaska where only we know how to work hard, hunt and camp and off-road and hit our marks. Ignore the production team, ya know, the hotty-toddy folks in there that actually learned a skill and trade in doing their jobs to make me look good and know what I'm talkin about.
ReplyDeleteIf I believed about me what they out there desiring to write about me and my family that I shove down your throats front and center every day progressing my avarice and disingenuosity. . .well, that about sums it all up. I don't like me.
she's a flippin' telepromptin' idiot
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious only because she boxed herself in and because this is one of her bots favorite bragging points.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the trolls if they're not completely exhausted after defending her humiliating non-comprehension of Michelle Obama's healthy eating campaign and government nutrition guidelines. Oh wait...I think they've been unable to defend her lately.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
Thanks to Sarah Jones for the article. Great read and the comments were hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWas Wes really the Man sour? Who knows?
Wes was really wee weed up over the article and the comments.
Is there anything to the rumors about Sarah setting up residence in Arizona where she can run for office in the future?
ReplyDeleteI know her attorney has business there with a state Congressman. Sarah will only take the party so far with her POTUS act, someone else will step in to run after she has pumped it up for the GOP. She can relax in Arizona and learn from the best that the state can muster. Perhaps they want her for the Senate or Governor one day. None of the Republicans really want to do her in, ain't gonna happen.
Sarah Palin is a fraud. A lying, hypocritical fraud. That she gets away with this is hypocrisy is so galling. I'm just grateful that eyes and ears are on her to record and publish her every transgression.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine that the "studio" also doubles as an amateur porn set (would not surprise me if Palin had to read her groans).
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me why she has the white screen beside her? Its like those screens she has at her book signing.
ReplyDeleteAlso where is the view of that dead lake she always has behind her.
Sometims just laughing at her is enough.
ReplyDeleteThe white screen throws side light on her for the tv camera. Its more flattering than straight on lightng. Especially for old hags.
ReplyDeletewhite screens are often used to reflect or not reflect light so you don't end up with unflattering shadows...
ReplyDeleteLet's see the whole picture here
ReplyDeleteGranny grifter only does friendly Fox interviews from the comfort of her own home.She gets the questions in advance and has people on her payroll to spoon-feed her information about topics that she has no knowledge about.
The icing on the cake is that her incoherent word salad responses are with the assistance of all these things and a teleprompter too.
Is it any wonder John McCain is going off the reservation lately. He can't escape the fact that he is to blame for this travesty he has inflicted on America.
7:46 p.m., you're channeling her so well it's both brilliant and scary.
ReplyDeleteWell, that explains it, doesn't it? If it's just her and Todd, does he do her hair and makeup? I figured she got that tattooed eyeliner way back because she wears glasses. Eyeliner is the hardest part of putting makeup on if you can't see well.
ReplyDeleteThe hair - I mean honestly, is that a one-person task? I think not, if it isn't a wig. Todd needs to practice his backcombing a bit, though because sometimes it just looks like a couple of squirrels got caught in a brier patch and tried to fight their way out.
I hope someone at Fox chides her about the teleprompter. She can deny all she wants - but who pays for expensive equipment you don't use? Not our Sarah. Not Fox either, I bet.
The teleprompter explains why she has always looked a bit strained. It must be hard to practice a skill you don't use very often -- reading.
As my kids would say: POWNED!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe studio will continue to support after Faux News dumps her... she can film her new porn series Sarah does Alaska sounds as tho with 5 kids and unknown number of baby daddies she is well practiced LOL
ReplyDeleteOf course she uses a teleprompter! She used one 20 years ago when she was a local on air sports reporter. She's used them as governor, she used them all the time when she was running with McCain, and she STILL uses them for speeches. That bullshit about going after President Obama because he uses a teleprompter is simply red meat for the morons. Every president since Eisenhower has used them, including Reagan and both Bushes.
ReplyDeletePalin & Co. came up with the teleprompter trope as a way to infer that President Obama was a lesser caliber orator than Palin. Please, Spare me the insulting bullshit. Palin can't make a subject and verb agree at gunpoint. She can't speak in complete coherent sentences. I've had dogs who were better at public speaking than Palin. She makes up words that kind of sound like real words. My farts could easily be accorded more oratorical merit than Palin's garbled unintelligible "speeches." And THAT level of underachievement is when she USES A TELEPROMPTER!
Hey, Palin. Get someone to type THIS in your teleprompter: "Sarah Palin is a lying dumbass!"
The continuing saga of Pathetic Palin. The only thing more pathetic than the Grifter from Alaska is her brain dead FANS.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Gryphen. Bust the faux christian out!
Ohiovoter
This is yet another thing that wouldn't be a big issue if Sarah Palin didn't make it one. Every 'journalist' uses Teleprompters- even those in high school broadcasting classes! The biggest difference between Sarah Palin's Teleprompter-fed speeches and President Obama's? The writers. President Obama helps write his speeches. When Mrs. Palin writes her speeches, you can tell- nothing makes sense. Even when her speeches are written for her, her writers can't get anywhere near the level of President Obama and Jon Favreau's writing (sorry, RAM, but the truth hurts sometimes). There's really nothing wrong with not being able to write well- just don't slam those who can as 'elitist'!
ReplyDeleteOf course, most users of Teleprompters can take what they or others have written and read it 'well.' It doesn't matter how well you can write if you can't translate that to your audience. Mrs. Palin know this- that's why she relies on fear to keep her audience's attention.
Ha-ha!!! PLEASE tell me she's not using the thing!!! How do you load word salad into a tele-prompter?!
ReplyDeleteI always get a little anxious listening to her (ummm, the rare occasions when I do listen) because it seems like she's worked herself into a corner and can't think of the words she wants to use and can't figure out how to finish the sentence. Then she ends up blurting something out like they're impotent, limp, weak, etc.
R in NC
Is the fireplace in her "set" background fake then? It looks like it in your picture. Like those backgrounds with the book wallpaper.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she'll feel anything "about her hypocrisy being exposed like this." Recognizing her own hypocrisy is definitely above her pay grade.
ReplyDeleteOn second thought, she'll blame it on all the spies Obama and the lamestream media sent up to Alaska to dig up dirt about her and plant incriminating (sorry about the big word, Sarah) evidence against her after the convention in 2008.
7:46:
ReplyDeleteSo you're the one feeding word salad into her teleprompter!
Like all sociopaths, Snowdrift Snooki thinks everyone else is stupid.
ReplyDeleteFox has the ability to email and load the script into the teleprompter.
ReplyDeleteEntire "interview" or "comments" from Sarah can be preloaded by Fox News in NYC.
or RAM or Piper can type and load script for Sarah.
Imbecile, she spends too much time taking shots at other people only to have it come back on her. Hasn't she ever been told you catch more flies with honey than vinegar... but it's not the grizzly way, I guess. Hoity-toity nothing.... she's without class (or much in the way of brains, either, it appears).
ReplyDeleteNow we know what her real problem with Teleprompters is: she can't read off them properly. I was always puzzled how she managed to sound scripted and incoherent at the same time. Mystery solved.
ReplyDeleteShe'll explain it away with her grating, sing-songy chipper happy way of minimizing h8r's,
ReplyDelete"Oh that silly thing? Fox sent it over and set it up perhaps I guess, for all their contributers but we all know I'm not like anyone ever else in the history of this great nation as a hard workin average hockey mom who took on the good old boys - those corrupt bastards and rose to become the most popular Governor of the state that I was chief executive of. So it just sits there dumb and dark and has remained impotent and limp and useless to me cause I can perfectly come up with my own mandations progressing this great country of which I am so blessed to be a part of. Have you seen Todd?"
This is totally OT but has been rattling around in my mind.... What father of a 40 something-year-old watches their daughter give birth to her 5th child? I can see if you were in charge of driving your minor, unmarried granddaughter to the hospital, you might stay with her to give her moral support, if you had to, but not a married woman in her 40's. That's just doesn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteThe Best & Worst Shows of 2010
ReplyDelete"Sarah Palin's Alaska" (TLC)
See Sarah fish. She Sarah hunt. See Sarah log. All eight parts of this shameless ad for the Alaska Division of Tourism involve the killing of dozens of living things and millions of brain cells. Where's an attacking bear when you really need it? The saving grace is watching the former vice presidential candidate well up while discussing Trig, her 2-year-old son who suffers from Down syndrome. But these rare heartfelt moments can't sustain the otherwise painful tedium. Five million viewers watched the premiere, a record for TLC. Three million viewers watched the second episode. Two million viewers were not wrong. -- Chris Larkin

http://www.citizen-times.com/article/2010101217020
3. Sarah Palin. At Tea Party Convention she criticized Obama for over-dependency on a teleprompter while she had notes written on her hand. Which is a 5th-grade teleprompter for people who can’t read fast. Every two weeks there’s something with her. Every two weeks, she erupts. She’s like Republican herpes. And I mean that in a good way.

MAYBE TEEN MOM NEEDS TO ADD A DANCING COMPONENT: Even though Bristol Palin proved she was part of the Rhythmless Nation on "Dancing With the Stars," Americans still fell in love with her, keeping her on the show and casting aside other more worthy opponents such as Brandy. Some credited Tea Party supporters for all the Palin love, but maybe it was the gun Mama Palin was packing that got all those people voting. Just kidding ... we think.
"Oh, we don't turn on that fancy teleprompter, dontcha know."
ReplyDeletePalin, you've become so predictable as to be boring. Really, when the stuff writes itself, it's time to leave.
Palin is a twitter FAIL:
ReplyDeleteUnsurprisingly, Sarah Palin got a “Needs improvement”, a rating that we think was only bumped up from something lower due to the Oxford American Dictionary recognizing one of her Twitter misspellings as word of the year.

ReplyDeleteBut...but...the Palin Autobots will argue that since Sistah is SO busy protecting Rill Murika from the socialist-facist-marxist-communist-colonialist-hedonist-narcissist Muslim (and his wife) in the White House, she jes' has no time to memorize those scripted Mad Libs she spouts on Faux. She's ritin' books, reedin' magazines, gettin' her picture took, actin' on the Tee Vee machine, channeling Jesus and mingling with the grateful serfs, too, dagnabbit! Shout it from the mountaintops so all will forget what she said before--a teleprompter IS required for the Queen!
ReplyDelete@7:46pm
ReplyDeleteSARAH? Is that rilly you????
(excellent!)
Thanks for the tip, Gryphen, it was an excellent read. Now ya'll need to go over to daily kos and check out the piece Vyan did on Mooselini this morning. It is one of the best pieces I have ever read on that pretentious mountain of hypocrisy, and that's saying something. You will want to bookmark this one...it is going to come in handy in 2012.

"Ha-ha!!! PLEASE tell me she's not using the thing!!! How do you load word salad into a tele-prompter?!"
ReplyDeletelest we forget SP can't read, so a teleprompter is rather useless. She can manage the one and two syllable words but nothing beyond that.
Anon @ 10:38:
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know, she doesn't wear corrective lenses- her eyesight is fine. My guess is that she wears glasses because they make her look less cross-eyed than she does without them. That, or she thinks it'll make her look smarter.
Also, too, it's definitely a wig. You betcha!
Only someone as dumb as Sarah would need a teleprompter to keep repeating the same crap over and over again.
ReplyDeletePalin hypocrisy Again??
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so.
7:46- HOTTY TODDY! Ole Miss!

ReplyDeleteYour Sarah impression is spot-on. I almost peed my pants! :-D
lololol 7:46 pm. i nearly choked on a pancake when i read your sarah!
ReplyDeleteIt did seem like she was reading, emphasizing each word in a sing song story-telling voice at the end.
ReplyDeleteThis past weekend, Gov. Palin appeared at the Costco in South Anchorage, Alaska, to sign copies of her bestseller America by Heart: Ideals My Ghostwriters Cherish. Costco’s management had wristbands to hand out in order to ensure that at least the first 500 in line would be able to be able to see Sarah in person. That only 67 people actually showed up suggests that most of the local populace stayed home because they imagined they’d never even find a place to park, let alone get anywhere near the presumptive candidate. Of those 67, two — a blogger who’s been writing critically about Sarah, and a woman wearing a Worst Governor Ever T-shirt — were escorted out of the store. Naturally, the lamestream media and the liberals and so-called progressives (hereinafter, the LSCPs) were beside themselves.
ReplyDeleteHere we go again. You will find no more avid believers in the First Amendment, the one having to do with freedom of expression, than common sense conservatives; no way! But just as you don’t get to stand up in the middle of a crowded cinema bellowing, “Fire!” you don’t get to say or write things that are grossly offensive to average, hard-working, God-fearing Americans, which is exactly what the evicted blogger, who ought to see how he likes it in Russia or North Korea, is in the business of doing. I mean, technically, you can, but if you do, it shouldn’t surprise you that two big security guards frog-march you out to the parking lot and dribble your head off the pavement until blood comes out of your ears, or even anus, not to get too graphic, but nothing makes me more furious than the abuse of freedom of speech.
As for the woman in the supposedly offensive T-shirt, that was no woman at all, but the late Wally Hickel, who, following the first of his two terms as Alaska’s governor, went on serve with distinction as Richard Nixon’s Secretary of the Interior. Having declared posthumously that he spent his life on earth trapped in the wrong body, he now dresses as a woman, and is earning money for the first recorded posthumous gender reassignment surgery by singing John Denver and James Taylor favorites in Anchorage mall parking lots. Many Alaskans disagree with his self-assessment as the state’s worst governor, pointing to the undistinguished records of Tony Knowles, Steve Cowper, and Frank Murkowski, but self-loathing, which his campaign managers “spun” as humility, was a key hallmark of his political persona.
The main thing is that, far from having him thrown out of her book-signing, Sarah was having him guided gently back into the parking lot, where the shuttle bus from the mental hospital of which he is now resident was waiting for him. I think we can agree, common sense conservative and LSCP alike, that it’s a pretty dismal state of affairs when a political leader gets vilified even for acts of charity.
View this, LSCPs, and change your mind: http://24ava4u.
Golly, this means the lady can...READ!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Sarah Jones' article. Reading the comments I thought Wes might be Bristol and Willow due to the foul language:)
ReplyDeleteOf special interest is that it requires 3 technicians to operate and do the 3 jobs to film segments for television. It was interesting also it would cost over 40K to hunt as the Palin's claim they do:)
Have the Palins shared their real new chateau with the public or the extent of their property while bitching they couldn't do anything in the front yard due to McGinnis? Or Sarah write like Shakespeare on the cement slab?
7:46 that is hilarious!
Where would we be without the Palin's protectin' their family privacy?
