Talk to the hand

Say one thing for White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs: The hypo crite’s got chutzpah.

Too bad he’s so dumb.

Gibbs took a moment from his Tuesday press briefing to mock Sarah Palin for delivering a speech at last weekend’s Tea Party convention in Nashville — with notes (“Energy,” “Tax cuts,” etc.) scribbled on her hand.

Gibbs stood at the podium and showed his press audience that he had jotted down “Eggs,” “Milk,” “Hope” and “Change” on his hand.

Oh, and he crossed out “Bread.”

Get it? Palin’s too darned dumb to string the element of a simple stump speech together.

Ha ha!

Boy, is he a funny dude, or what?

Now, Gibbs is a guy who works for a fellow who can’t order breakfast without the assistance of a TelePrompTer.

Just last month, his overworked ‘PrompTer platoon had to set one up just so President Obama could deliver prepared remarks to a class of Virginia sixth- graders, for Pete’s sake.

So how dumb does that make him?

And if Gibbs himself was as smart as he obviously thinks he is, he wouldn’t be calling attention to his boss’ TelePrompTer dependency by mocking Palin’s innocuous crib notes — would he?

Here’s a few words Mr. Glass House might want to scribble on his palm the next time he decides to throw stones at political opponents from behind the press-room rostrum:

“Just. Shut. Up.”
