Someone slacking in typing words for her to read on the prompter. She had to ad-lib briefly. It's late on Friday. The button-pushing, miscuing parttimers are showing up to work for the weekend.

You sound like you've worked in a newsroom. It's funny, every time I've seen your screen name, I think of the big ol' clunkers of typewriters that we used to use to type news scripts. Extra large font size, 3-sheets with carbon paper, pre-computerized news, clack clack clack wham!

Yeah... I've been around news rooms...:-)

Remember the old UPI teletype machines?
