The teleprompter. I finally get it.

[RB TexLa]

It's the "articulate thing", to paraphrase Bush the Elder.

The right wing feels if they can trick President Obama to not use the Teleprompter that his speeches and press conferences would be more like this:

"Yo, Yo, Word dogs! Welcome to my crib, brothers of the press. I'm in da house to let you know how I plan to roll with this budget. Now my boy Tim gonna give you the hook up from the Wall to da street on the flipside."

Of course after that, the American public would demand impeachment after the president is shown to be such a fraud. My, my what a brilliant plan, oh clever Rushbo.

1. Wonder what Rush would sound like if he didn't use notes?

Of course that will never happen so I'll retract my hypothetical.

[Chulanowa]

10. An even bigger idiot?

Really, Rush doesn't have far to fall...

[hisownpetard]

11. He'd sound like Michelle Bachmann: You be da man. You be da man.

[Golden Raisin]

13. Perhaps Oink! Oink! ???

[skypilot]

2. They conveniently ignore the fact that...

...he didn't need a teleprompter to answer questions from the media last night and to give that one asshole the smackdown.

[Ganja Ninja]

4. I wonder what Rush would sound like if he wasn't high on Oxycontin?

:crazy:

6. Pretty much the same-he's still a blithering idiot.

8. Like a fart on a vinyl seat cushion but dumber....you know

kinda like he sounds now but maybe an octave higher.

9. self delete- dupe

7. They also conveniently ignore the fact that teleprompters have been used

by Presidents for over 50 years. He apparently uses them more than others in the past, but their use is certainly nothing new.

It's nothing more than hi-tech notecards.

[bevoette]

3. why would they care - he'd just sound like Michael Steele (nm)

[hobbit709]

5. Shrub used an earpiece instead of the teleprompter

That's because he couldn't read fast enough to follow the screen.

[lpbk2713]

12. And whenever he would have to read from a hard copy ...

... his handlers had to spell monosyllabic words phonetically so he would get it right.

More often than not the dumbass would screw it up anyway.

[Cronus Protagonist]

15. I think you must have meant "polysyllabic"

Even the chimp can read a few dozen monosyllabic words without "fennetick" spelling. :P

14. Joke Scarborough actually defended the President on this issue today

He pointed out that the President makes anywhere from four to ten speeches a day, and not necessarily on the same issues. There is no way he or anyone else can memorize that many speeches every day. And, for once Scarborough is correct.
