Why Sarah Palin's Hand Became Political Fodder

By Big Tent Democrat

James Joyner plays dumb for some reason over Sarah Palin's Hand-gate:

[T]his seems much ado about nothing. If Sarah Palin likes to write buzz words on her hand, so what?

The problem is Joyner knows why it became political fodder. Look at his comment in the same thread:

[. . .] Obama's teleprompter could fail, too, and goodness knows what he'd say.

More . . .

This is why Palin Hand-gate has become a big story - the GOP, Palin included, stupidly ran with the idiotic teleprompter line. This is referred to as being hoisted by your own petard - pretty effective in politics. Joyner knows this. It is silly of him to play dumb.

Does anyone involved actually care? Of course not. But politics is nothing if not stupid.

Speaking for me only
