SC: Hand-written Notes? Who Cares?

Those nattering nabobs of negativity in the news media have been making fun lately of Sarah Palin for writing crib notes for a speech she was giving in Nashville on her left palm. “Energy,” “taxes” and “lift the American spirit,” her well-manicured hand read. The next day, she wrote “Hi Mom!” on the same hand for a speech she delivered in Texas. Two days after that, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs conducted a press briefing with “eggs,” “milk,” “bread” (crossed out), “hope” and “change” scrawled on his left hand. Hey, at least he didn’t cross out “hope.” Brian Williams, Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert may not display their mitts on air, but that doesn’t mean they’re not annotated/ Steve Crump , Twin Falls Times News.

Question: What kind of prompts do you use when you give a speech?
