That’s one manly-looking left hand you’ve got there, Sarah

Keith Olbermann mocks Sarah Palin for scribbling some rather elementary and, you know, memorable stuff on her left hand. We all knew it’d come to this …

My transcript, below:

‘I mean, look at this: “energy, cuts, tax, lift American spirits”? That ain’t exactly the Gettysburg Address she scribbled on me! And, and look: cross out? A cross out? Four things she wanted to remember and she couldn’t keep them straight even after she wrote them down on me?! I know, I know; I read the blogs. They’re trying to defend us. “At least it wasn’t a teleprompter”, like the boss had her acceptance speech at the convention written on her thigh or something. Remember how she complained when the prompter screwed up on her? Remember how she used the prompter through the whole campaign? Get this woman a new prompter stat. I mean, if not, I’ll open up and the palm will say, “Your name is Sarah”.

I think his voice should’ve been a bit higher (and perhaps with a sort of valley girl accent) to be both more funny and accurate … (*snort*) … but his comment that what Palin wrote on her hand “ain’t exactly the Gettysburg Address” is simply dead-on. If she needs to scribble on her hand like a 3^rd-grader just to remember what the GOP even stands for … then there really isn’t any hope for her at all.

Which, curiously, has the converse effect of giving hope to everyone else. Yay?
