re: #160 tradewind

The MSM clearly wanted to say that writing notes on hand=airhead.
Just saying that if that’s what they thought of Palin, they should have remembered Feinstein.
It didn’t seem newsworthy in either case .

Obama using a teleprompter talking point= airhead
Palin dissing the teleprompter just minutes before using her palm = +irony +airhead with a dash, +.5 humor. The addition of +irony +.5 humor to the equation makes people notice more, media notices more ergo more chance at a story.
