It’s fascinating to see how much Sarah Palin gets under the skin of virtually all liberals (and some conservatives.)

Lefties were foaming at the mouth this weekend after discovering (aha!) that Palin had some notes written on her palm.

When I first saw the headline, I thought they meant Palm as in Palm Pilot etc. But no, Palin went old school.

Powerline notes:

We haven’t written about the faux controversy over Sarah Palin’s writing a few words on the palm of her hand at the Tea Party convention, apparently as reminders for her speech or the Q & A session that followed. Liberals purported to find the presence of phrases like “tax cuts” significant. It isn’t clear why; pretty much everyone who gives a speech uses notes if he doesn’t actually read a prepared text, and Barack Obama seemingly can’t order a cheeseburger in a restaurant without his Teleprompter. So the Left’s huffing and puffing was pointless.

Which didn’t stop Palin from getting the last laugh. Campaigning for Governor Rick Perry in Texas yesterday, she wrote “Hi Mom!” on her palm:

You have to love the sense of humor, particularly when it’s directed at the humorless left.

Palin also delivered a speech at the Tea Party convention. I haven’t watched but a few minutes, but one is clear: this woman has rare political skills. I can remember a politico who seems so comfortable at the podium.

Just listen to how she pronounces “Hello” to C-SPAN — it’s in the opening minute of the speech.
