Video: White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs mocks Sarah Palin's handy crib notes

Today was just another bland press briefing until Press Secretary Robert Gibbs displayed some crib notes written on his hand.  The notes were clearly a jab at Sarah Palin after cameras exposed Palin having a "cheat sheet" on her hand after her speech at the Tea Party Convention.  Palin would later consult the now infamous "telepalmter" to answer a pre-screened question at the convention.

Gibbs' hand had the words "eggs, milk, bread" written on it.  When reporters lauged upon seeing it Gibbs stated he also had the words "hope" and "change" written down.  In her speech at the Tea Party Convention Palin mocked Obama voters when she asked them "How's that hopey changey thing workin for ya?"

    Jolie,
    What makes Palin a "pathetic dumb whore"?
    The mocking that this story covers is very sexist and unprofessional.

    Did she mention that this is the greatest country that God gave man? I didn't see it written anywhere on her hand.

    Should the spokesperson for the President of the United States be mocking ANY citizen of the United States?

    Is that Howdie Doodie in the lavender tie? The dude's head is definitely too huge to be WH spokes person. It has to be Howdie doodie in the flesh. That's impressive.
    The guy has actually writen on his hand in Korean. Those are reminder notes. It says, "Close Guantanamo before 2010. Elect democrats in NJ VA & MA. Stop terrorists from spilling all the beans. Health care takeover. Re-read Cloward Piven strategy, Raise taxes on the middle class."
    Oh and there's a footnote! work on my slice.
    Hummm. Nothing in there about jobs.

    That was almost as fun to watch as the time when Gibbs asked Sean Hannity to explain about his relationship with Anti-Semite Hal Turner.

    The left makes fun of who they fear the most.

    They made fun of her for her lack of experience, even though she had more than Obama.

    They make fun of her for writing a few words on her palms, even though Obama reads every word from a teleprompter and when he doesn't he says stupid things that he really means and gets himself in trouble.

    You guys are so predictable and boring.

    No Gigi. Those targets aren't that easy otherwise they would all be in prison for corrupt practices including old booger nose himself.
    Sarah is an easier target because she hasn't done anything wrong and is concerned about her reputation and the direction of the United States government. Well actually she did do something wrong. She ran on the McCain Ticket and he is a flaming progressive. I'm not say John-boy isn't honorable, He is. I am saying he is a progressive and that makes him a bad person.

    Sarah Palin is clearly an idiot, but she's stupid enough and self-confident enough to listen to all those people who want her to run for president. The Democrats should hope that she does so. For now, though, they should act like she doesn't exist.

    Klatoo,

    You're right. Also, it's a little more difficult to make fun of them, because what they do it not 'funny'. Very bizar, dishonest, & corrupt, but too 'creepy' to be 'funny'.

    Palin is an idiot for insulting the citizens who chose to vote for Obama! If she has something to say, she should mainly target the administration not the citizens who freely chose to vote for him! She is indeed an idiot who needs to learn how to speak proper english first and learn who her audience is! What kind of a politician talks using such below average form of speech???? She is an embarrassment to female population! Whatever happened to class???

    KLR,

    You mean like Obama's an idiot for insulting the citizens who vote for republicans? Saying they cling to their guns and their religion? Is that the kind of idiot that you mean?

    Didn't Katie tell you Obama said that?

    Robert Gibbs, that "palm reading" might have been funny to silly elementary school boys when you were in 3rd grade but as an adult, you were neither funny, cute, intelligent, nor impressive except you "impressed" me in that you are still searching for an occupation for which you are qualified!!!!

    Robert Gibbs is not very funny. He just try's to be since his job in on the line. In his attempts to mock Sarah Palin He represents the arrogance and hypocracy within the Obama Administration. This arrogant attitude is the very catalyst that will undo the democrats very shortly. The American people are fed up with fun and games and will elect people who have conviction and character and who will honor the founding fathers devotion to freedom and a recognition of the one true God in heaven and His son Jesus Christ. America is ripe for men and wemon who will stand up for the constitution whatever the cost. Mr Gibbs maybe you need to take more serious that you only serve because of the people of this great country. If you did you might have something to say worth listening to.

    Don, you didn't mention that this is the greatest country that God gave man. And you call yourself a patriot??!! You need more training! I suggest 3 hours a day of Glenn Beck followed by 3 hours each of Rush Limbaugh and then Sean Hannity.
