Teleprompter Breakdown Raises Suspicions

Last week, National Organization of Women’s spokesperson Kim Gandy asserted that GOP VP nominee Governor Sarah Palin was “not an authentic woman because she doesn’t support women’s issues like abortion.” This week, the Obama campaign charges that Palin is “not a normal human being.” The charge stems from the failure of the teleprompter during Palin’s speech to the Republican Convention on Wednesday.

“Usually, a mishap like this causes at least momentary confusion,” observed Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton. “Where were the ‘ers,’ ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ that a normal human would utter under such stress? They were suspiciously absent from Ms. Palin’s remarks. I’d call that eerie and frightening. Do the American people want to put such an abnormal creature just a heart beat away from the presidency?”

In related news, Democratic VP candidate, Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) requested that he be given the questions in advance of his debate with Palin next month, so he “can properly cadge lines to use in rebuttal.” “Ms. Palin is articulate, bright, clean and a good looking gal,” Biden said. “Obviously, I’m not. As the underdog here, I need the media to level the playing field if I’m to have a fair chance of winning.”

Well, at least Biden admits he’s the underdog!

Oh, the left is desperate, aren’t they?

[xcamel]

Classic, John..

Something for O’Drama in the works?

Oh boy, I don’t know where to start. Maybe, just maybe, she believes what she is saying?

“Where were the ‘ers,’ ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ that a normal human would utter under such stress? They were suspiciously absent from Ms. Palin’s remarks. I’d call that eerie and frightening. Do the American people want to put such an abnormal creature just a heart beat away from the presidency?”

Yeaah, it would be so scary to have someone who is able to act with poise, intelligence, and confidence in a stressful situation. I would much rather have a bumbling fool who is lost without his precious teleprompter.

[TASMANIANRED]

She isn’t normal....She is the Palinater.

[hunter112]

Ha! Definining Obambi’s stuttering, stammering, bumbling way of answering a question as “normal”. Possibly the most chutzpah-filled spin I’ve ever heard!

[Waryone]

LOL! This is just like something one of them would say!

[WashingtonSource]

This is satire. Even so, it seems believable, especially the stupid rationalizations of the Dhimmis.

[wastedyears]

Of course Sarah Palin isn’t a normal human being. She’s female, beautiful, has 5 child, will be a grandmother before age 50, hunts, not afraid to run with the big dogs, and has a cool nickname.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Barrack Hussein 0bama is better than normal,
he is abby normal.

this is satire

[nmh]

Women should love their babies.

To murder your babies as in infanticide that Obama SUPPORTS or murdering them in their woman is hardly womanly.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Thanks for the ping John. Another great piece.

“Ms. Palin is articulate, bright, clean and a good looking gal,” Biden said.

Good one!!! LOL!!!

[papasmurf]

Zing! :O)

[scooby321]

LOL he was thinking Barry the way does without a telepromter.

[pollywog]

Incredible!!!!!! I cannot believe all this I am reading.... Obama said she is not a “ Normal Human being?”....
Biden “ wants the question EARLY to the debate”????? LOLOLOL
And they want to run OUR GOVERNMENT??? NO WAY God, NO WAY!!!

[pollywog]

Where is a link to this article?

Where were the ‘ers,’ ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’ that a normal human would utter under such stress? They were suspiciously absent from Ms. Palin’s remarks. I’d call that eerie and frightening.

And this isn't the Onion? OMG

[FreeLuna]

You know, I was thinking today that Obama’s statement about his daughters “I don't want them punished with a baby” = “I hope my daughters kill my grandchild.” He is a twisted man.

[pollywog]

Satire!! Okay.... Satire!

Uh oh. They've figure out moose meat gives you super human powers.

[vietvet67]

lol. Another good one John.

[nmh]

Yes, he is a very SICK man.

Bet he’s glad his momma didn’t abort him.

“The UN report...If deposed tyrants cannot count on maintaining a minimally acceptable standard of living in exile, they may be forced to increase the intensity of their exploitation and oppression of their own people. It is the duty of the United States and other wealthy nations to ensure that this does not happen.”

I almost forget that this is satire particularly when the UN is brought up, another enjoyable read.

[Cheburashka]

Darn, the Democrats have found her out.

Sarah Palin is the Twelfth Cylon model. And almost as hot as Number 6.

[Flycatcher]

Funny stuff. Thanks for the ping!

[sodpoodle]

**cadge**???

I have only heard native English use that word!

Semmens? ‘splain yourself! LOL!

[redhead]

"**cadge**???

Roughly corresponds to "mooch," or "beg." Or, "Wheedle."

[dynachrome]

Didn’t I hear Jimmy “peanutbrain” Carter say something about how good it was to see a “white girl” get this far?

[autumnraine]

Is this a joke? Are they criticizing her for being too good? Are we sure this isn’t sattire because I think it’s funny.

[eyedigress]

LOL!

[sodpoodle]

I know what it means - I just have not heard the word used or seen it in print for decades - made me wonder if John has links to England by residency, birth or education.

Apologies if my comment was obtuse;)

sod;

[eyedigress]

Just remember he writes it so close to the truth it nabs alot of people.

[itsthejourney]

[Infralutheran]

Thanks for posting that original article. Funny stuff!

[jazusamo]

Thanks John, another good one.

[cyborg]

Wow I almost didn’t believe he said that but there it is on YouTube.

Well done once again Sir John!

"In other news, Obama chief strategist David Axelrod had dinner with the Convention Teleprompter Operator, Keith Oberman, and three ladies wearing pink shirts."

[CanaGuy]

It’s ALL satire. The whole internet is suspect. With easy modification of text, photos and video how does one REALLY know about any of it? I treat it all now as just entertainment, something to do instead of mowing the lawn.

[Secret Agent Man]

KIM GANDY IS NOT AN AUTHENTIC PERSON BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO LIFE FOR BABIES.

Stupid b1tch. Palin’s a more authentic person than Gandy cna EVER hope to be.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

Hilarious. Out of the park again, John.

[driftdiver]

This is satire right?

[driftdiver]

“Yeaah, it would be so scary to have someone who is able to act with poise, intelligence, and confidence in a stressful situation. I would much rather have a bumbling fool who is lost without his precious teleprompter. “

They find it scary that she doesn’t need someone else to do her thinking and tell her what to say.

[snippy_about_it]

You are always just a breath away from the truth. If we could just read their minds I expect you’d be right on the money. Good stuff. Thanks for the ping.

[hunter112]

this is satire

Ok, but you have to admit, that the Obama campaign is giving the satire writers a LOT to work with!

[aquila48]

John is great - his satire is just subtle enough that most people are fooled at first.
