She couldn't remember one point?No, it's a PalinPrompter:
I was so tickled to see those crib notes on Sarah's palm. I can't tell you how many times I've done that when I have done public speaking--and I have done a LOT of public speaking--and there was a last minute point I needed to be sure to include or a specific date or a name I was afraid I wouldn't recall.
Sure she could, but in the course of whatever speech that was, she certainly had many points to make and the palm note was one she thought of at the last minute and wanted to be sure to include at some point. All of us who do a lot of public speaking have been there.
