Why is Andrea Mitchell pushing the teleprompter meme? Second time she has mentioned

[Parker CA]

it now. Asked Gwen Iffel, and now is asking Chris Cillizza. Says, so why is he using the teleprompter, is tonight going to be about the teleprompter vs. no teleprompter or about the tone of the message? Are you kidding me? Andrea sounds like she's been reading up on Freeperville talking points. This is just ridiculous.

1. Ms Greenspan disseminating the most crass superficial GOP criticism -- must be a first

[aquart]

2. I think Letterman disposed of that meme.

[EFerrari]

14. "Maybe he should step down." (Vid link)

3. She's doing what a good little corporate stooge does...

regurgitating the whining points she was given earlier in the day.

[billyoc]

4. Careful, Andrea, lest somebody start fucking with YOUR teleprompter.

[Cha]

5. And did andrea greenspan worry about bush

using the teleprompter for 8 years?

Here's her email if anyone wants to ask her.

6. If he starts reading his answers to question off of it

we have a problem. I think right now he thinks everything he says effects the market, maybe as time goes on he'll use it less and less.

[Mike Daniels]

10. So he has a magic teleprompter that knows exactly what questions he'll be asked?

Does this magic device also instantly scroll to the exact location that has the answer to whatever question he was asked?

Jesus, you Limbaugh followers are really grasping at thin air now.

12. Lookie! It's Chuck E. Tee!

:woohoo:

Rather than post on DU, you should really be studying the issues to prepare for the big press conference tonight. The questions you've asked in the past have been less than impressive.

16. Bush never had to do this because HE DOESN'T READ.

[rvablue]

21. And how exactly does that work?

You're certainly getting your kicks today on DU aren't you.

Have fun while it lasts!

[gratuitous]

23. Yeah, everyone knows he's supposed to have the questions beforehand

Or have his favorite male prostitute in the gaggle, ready to lob a softball question he can blast over the fence:

Someone has a very short memory anent presidents and press conferences.

[bridgit]

7. She's carrying water for Limbaugh & the RW, that's his/their latest drivel

[leftofthedial]

8. she's a waste of skin.

really bad skin.

[mitchum]

24. But if you had to dress up in Ayn Rand's old lingerie...

in order to give your husband his yearly erection, I imagine you would also be a bitter harridan.

mitchum the compassionate

[leftofthedial]

27. Yow!

:rofl:

[dem629]

9. Andrea Mitchell is incapable of doing anything without a prompter.

She's a complete bimbo, has been for years.

15. Because Her Employer Wants Her To Do Everything She Can to Undermine Obama

[lpbk2713]

17. A teleprompter wasn't even close to good enough for Smirky.

The simple minded asshole had to have his speeches spelled out phonetically.





:rofl: :rofl:

[Supersedeas]

25. Ms. Greenspan has a very short memory and a very large Corp sponsored paycheck

[JohnnyLib2]

18. It's considered cutesy as well as being a RW point.

I'm thinking it will be passe pretty soon, as much as catch phrases ever are.

[fumsm]

19. Anything to get the focus off of hubby.

The lady is a repuke shill, not even capable of completing a sentence, and she has the nerve to pick on BO.

I am still waiting for someone to ask her about her husbands involvement in the current depression.

[JackRiddler]

20. Laughable coming from people whose careers would be dead without one.

[rvablue]

22. The better question is, why does Mrs. Greespan think I'm a daft moron?

I know all Presidents have used teleprompters.

She knows all Presidents have used telepromters.

I know that she knows that all Presidents have used teleprompters.

So, why is she trying to sell me something that I know not to be true, she knows not to be true and that I know that she knows not to be true?

[JDPriestly]

26. Distracting from the real new story: the responsiblity of Alan Greenspan

for this terrible financial crisis.

Someone should point out that Obama is frequently holding Town Halls at which he does not use a teleprompter. Someone should put up one of the many videos of Bush trying with great difficulty to read a teleprompter. Oh, yes, and then there are those hilarious videos of McCain trying to used a teleprompter.

This is the old Republican tactic: Attack your opponent's strength. Obama's great strength is his ability to speak extemporaneously from his heart to large groups of people. In this, Andrea is Rove redux. She learned her lessons well from her masters, Greenspan and Rove.

28. A politician using a teleprompter?

:hide:

Quick someone call the church elders...
