What's the difference?

Can anybody tell me what the difference is between using a teleprompter or using notes written on one's hand?

Analysis: Sarah Palin Needs More Than a Hand "President Obama prefers the teleprompter. Sarah Palin uses her analog Palm Pilot, scribbling in ink on her palms. ... American politics follows Newton's laws of motion: For every action there is a reaction. Palin disparages Mr. Obama's reliance on the telepromter [sic] and then receives her comeuppance for her hand-held notes, as if she were cheating on a civics test. ..."

Sarah Palin's palm cheat-sheet steals her show "... It quickly became apparent that Palin had been glancing at notes written on her palm. The Huffington Post produced a photographic close-up, which showed her hand contained the words "Energy", "Tax" and "Lift American Spirits." The phrase "Budget cuts" was also there, though the word "Budget" had been crossed out. ..."

One is done by a presidental race winner and the other is done by Palin.

The most telling point?

Sarah had to remind herself to talk about the bread and butter of Republican theology, tax cuts.

Reading the moving text on a teleprompter is no small task.

Palin obviously too the simple way out.

Sarah Palin;

An awful person saying awful things to awful people.

Hey, she got her $100,000 speaking fee...

I don't care for her either, but where else can a former "Miss Wasilla" make a hundred grand for 45 minutes worth of work?

It was either this, or "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!".

(Which I bet she'll be on in a few months...mark my words..)
