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!
