Should the "charismatic guy with a teleprompter" have been attacked in the circumstances?
But Sarah, m'lady, they invented paper for a reason. I know you're an environmentalist, but do you know how many 3x5 index cards one tree can produce?

Then again, in Palin's case, maybe a note would have been smarter.
