D'oh -- Norah O'Donnell Caught Asking For Teleprompter
Edited on Sat Oct-13-07 09:16 PM by cboy4
MSNBC Washington Contributor Norah O'Donnell was anchoring Thursday afternoon when she had a teleprompter issue. She didn't have one. Oops! Listen closely.

On edit:

In her defense, at least Norah (I'm pretty certain, at least), doesn't read effing books upside down like the idiot in the White House. Unreal------------------------------>

4. Everyone uses teleprompters




But some aren't able to function without them.

6. Clinton winged 6 minutes
of his first State of the Union when they loaded the wrong speech into it.

Nevermind a teleprompter, if he didn't have his phonetic notes, Chimperini's marble-mouthed bafflegab would veer into completely indecipherable monkey grunts.

8. Was that pic from the time BC's teleprompter got f'd up? He performed like a champ
at that particular SOTU, despite not having the first chunk of his speech, and that was at the height of his personal woes, too.

That boy has one helluva mind, he does....

7. No big deal. It's no secret that teleprompters are used.

This did remind me of one of my favorite You Tube clips though...

Watch this sportscaster melt down on air. It's horrible, but the ending is crazy funny.

When that anchor says "Okay, thanks for that report on sports..." and the sports guy gives this resigned "yeah..."

It just really cracks me up.
