Obama's teleprompter
Bob Cesca at Huff Post wrote a good blog about the ridiculousness of the far right in criticizing Obama for using a teleprompter. He mentions Bush's inarticulateness and throws in a few references to the Will Ferrell film "Anchorman."

This comment to the blog cracked me up:

qotl
nice work - have watched anchorman again because of this - do you think bush ever actually killed someone with a trident?

:rofl:

Here is the actual blog:

EDIT: Of course the West Side Story gang fight scene will forever be a classic.

The PBS guys taking time off from their pledge drive to fight is great. That whole scene is awesome.

6. that Tim Robbins played the PBS guy
made it even better.

I also love a little later on they're reflecting on a fight and Ron Burgundy says: "Brick killed a guy." He states it so funny, he's incredulous but they aren't even panicked, like he just ran a stop sign earlier that day or something, lol.

8. I see this as a good thing.
If that is all the GOP has to offer on criticism, then they are really in a piss poor position.
