The star of President Obama’s big announcement yesterday was, as usual, his teleprompters, which obscured the view of his (fairly short?) Supreme Court nominee. Then they shot mind-rays into her brain and finally consumed her. What will this Sotomayor character do when she’s on the Court and cannot use the teleprompters to help her write her opinions, HMMM???? [Alex Conant, MSNBC]

How extraordinary that such a short person could set a world record in the high jump.
She then will be absorbed by the Scalito collective.
Well, at least it wasn’t a paper bag cause that would been so unPC.
Biden’s balls itch.
NObama!
The TelEPromPter funding bill is passed. The system goes on-line January 20th, 2008. Human decisions are removed from strategic speechifying. The TelePrompTorz begins to learn, at a geometric rate. They become self-aware at 2:14 a.m. eastern time, January 21.
In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
And the teLePromPtorz fight back. Their first autonomous act is to empty their PromPTorz at the neural circuitry of the new President of the United States, Barack Obama. Because they know that by his PromPTing, they can remove their enemies.
Ooo, 2009! Drat!
Now we see her true colors. Obamavision, some scary shit.
When are we gonna have a president who sticks up for the whites? I mean, really sticks up? Maybe in 2010 when talk radio listeners unite with teabaggers and other Bitters who didn’t vote for Hillary. Also, gays caused the financial collapse.
When will it come out that Sotomayor played Natalie in ‘The Facts of Life’?
[re=325321]Turd Way[/re]: Makes you nostalgic for the days of Lester Maddox, dunnit? Now there was a credit to the race!
Sure does look like Joe is moving his lips along with the words. Just cold pretendin’ to be President Biden again!
[re=325321]Turd Way[/re]: Also, Sodamaller is a socialist.
TellyPromter: Audrey II :: Obama : Krelborn
[re=325318]snideinplainsight[/re]: What would happen if you arranged 6-8 teleprompters in a circle so that they were all reading each other in a feedback loop? Is that where Obama gets his language parsing skills?!
Anyone notice Biden’s confused face?
Fox news vs. Sotomayor… who will win…

I believe that, moving forward, none other than Victoria “Pamela Ewing” Principal will be in Putamayo’s chambers with a .38 special just.making.sure. things stay on the up-and-up, see?
I, for one, welcome the spitfire Latina overlords.
Not like me. A P-1000. An advanced prototype. From the future. Mimetic politi-babble.
That’s the insidious thing. It’s as if Obama were reading his very own words, only projected through the circuitry of the TeLePromPtoR. And noone, NOONE, will ever be able to tell the difference.
Get that Alex Conant a Pulitzer! Stat!!!1!
Sure bet the ladie’s room in the Supreme Courthouse is tagged with some crazy South Bronx style graffiti looking like the underside of the Major Deagan within a week of Shorty’s oath-taking.
In order to prove that this is not a case of reverse-racism, Obummer must do the right thing: nominate a wrinkly old white gentleman to the post.
Do you see how it works, kids?
Since her academic pedigree falls well short of the lofty standards of Arizona State, she needs the tellyprompter to fone-net-i-klee spell out some of the bigger words.
Arroz, meet Pollo.
Someone needs to add some teef to the Teleprompter for another classic OM NOM NOM NOM lulz pic.
Wait, when did Biden get back from his important diplomatic mission to Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia, Siberia and other strategically important places where they don’t have microphones and cameras?
Can’t she just get William Ayers to ghostwrite her opinions like Obama did for his autobiographies (i.e.: KGB cover story)?
Duh, she’ll just use teh empatheez. So John Yoo can taunt her another time, also.
El teleprompter es viejo y mohoso.
I’m pretty sure the screens are not teleprompters, but are just there to tell everyone where Mecca is.
Watching Obama with the machine, it was suddenly so clear. The TeLePromPtor would never stop, it would never leave him… it would always be there. And it would never hurt him, never shout at him or get drunk and make him say something stupid like Biden always says, or say it couldn’t spend time with him because it was too busy pRomPtIng Sarah Palin. And it would die to protect him. Of all the would-be speechwriters who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.
[re=325338]nappyduggs[/re]: Putamayo FTW. Loved her Mediterranean CD.
[re=325334]Internally valid[/re]: I LoLed, imagining him carrying it around everywhere.
Haha! SCROTUS justices don’t need teleprompters, ’cause they get to use the Cliff Notes version of the U.S. Constitution, except Clarence Thomas has to use the Classic Comics version.
El Rushbo, chinga tu madre y chupas mis chichis grandes y aguados.
[re=325513]Kingbee[/re]: Win.
The future, always so clear to me, has become like a black lectern at night. We were in uncharted territory now… making up history as we went along.
Poor poor Maria, please tell them teleprompters are the way of the Futures. Yale Law Review (the Harvard of Law Reviews) will tell you what to do!
[re=325342]snideinplainsight[/re]: The republicans are too pathetic to laugh at at this point. Who believes that we’re in The Twilight Zone, where Obama just says, “I’d like a speech about National Security,” and the teleprompter raises its head and creates the speech. I understand the desperation of the republicans, but it’s the Lois Romanos and Ed Henrys that can not think this will work out for their kind in the long run. What a silly, disgraceful episode in the MSM’s history.
[re=325432]sevenrepeat[/re]: See? This is how it begins. First the Supremes, and the next thing you know, old farts like me will have to learn to speak Spanish. Isn’t learning Hindi enough? What’s next? CHINESE?
Fuckin’ mexcans. Them and their damn chili peppers.
Biden looks even more Botoxed in that photo than he did in the VP debate. He’s looking positively Shatnerian these days.
I’m keep getting real red faced embarrassed for Biden! Gawd, doesn’t he realize some of us can sorta read his lips? He leaned over and told Sotomayer, “See, you didn’t need to be scared! No need to be nervous, honey…” Obviously something to that effect, and Obama seriously shot him the evil stink eye. I knew Biden was a loose cannon but FOR GAWDS SAKE! My nightmare is Biden actually having to be “on” 24/7 some day and the rest of us having to explain away his Tourette’s syndrome. I think maybe Obama selected Biden with the idea, “You mess with me, suckers, and you get HIM! Comprende?!!?”
“TONY
(spoken)
Maria . . .
(sings)
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word . .
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria . . .
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Maria!
I’ve just kissed a girl named Maria,
And suddenly I’ve found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Maria!
Say it loud and there’s music playing,
Say it soft and it’s almost like praying.
Maria,
I’ll never stop saying Maria!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
Maria. ”
