In a speech at an Orange County Republican fundraiser, she repeatedly referred to getting caught with the notes written on her palm at a speech last month. She went one by one through each of the thoughts she said she had jotted down: energy, tax cuts and lifting the American spirit.
In an obvious shot at President Barack Obama, she said she was "busted for using a poor man's teleprompter. I was just kicking it old school. It's the way we used to do it."
And she was clearly disgusted with the media for making a big deal of it, saying, "Nothing should surprise you with the media anymore. The media is broken."
She received rousing applause from the crowd of 1,300.
She also referred to the Bible, telling the audience to look up Isaiah 49:16, which reads, "Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands."
Palin said, "If writing on one's palm was good enough for God, then it's good enough for the rest of us."
She criticized President Barack Obama's administration and Democrats for being out of touch with voters on issues like energy and government spending.
"Government is growing and we are drowning in debt and we have had enough and at every turn Americans have tried to tell Washington and said, 'It's time to hit the brakes,' " she said.
