Palin Teleprompter

The palm of your hand. As in, the place to write down the main points you want to hit in a speech or an interview, if you're too dumb to remember them.

Pioneered by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin during her creampuff interview at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville on February 6, 2010.
I knew the interviewer would ask me what my core principles were, but I couldn't remember them because I'm a complete moron, so I wrote them on my Palin Teleprompter and discretely checked them during the interview. I'm sure no one noticed!

Sarah Palin Behavioral Syndrome

When someone has characteristics of playing the victim, not accepting blame, throwing others under the bus if they do not agree with or cross them, that rules are for others, but not for them; and using others, including family, as tools. This syndrome may or may not include messed up family relationships, pathological lying, getting in over one's head because of poor qualifications, quitting things, and having messed-up financial or business dealings.
The defense lawyer made excuses for his own behavior, whined about the rules, and then the next day falsely accused the prosecution lawyer of the same thing. That made some court watchers comment that the defense lawyer was suffering from "Sarah Palin Behavioral Syndrome".
