This is HUGE news, everyone! Obama is apparently using a teleprompter at outdoor campaign stops. OMG, this is huge!

(seriously, is there nothing too picayune for the press to report???)

9. Exactly

I guess Obama's required to commit it all to memory -- never mind the fact most freepers don't know their own home telephone numbers.

3. Of course he is!

There is so much new material that he had to incorporate into his speech since the McCain camp imploded this week. Wait, it's only Tuesday, that means we have three more days of mishaps to look forward to.

Everyone with a Blackberry, raise it in salute to McDumbDumb for giving us our "windsurfing/I invented the Internet" moment!

4. MEDIA PIONEERED USE OF TELEPROMPTERS!

Tell them to turn theirs off.

7. and in the mean time......

.... we patiently await the moment when Sarah Palin takes her FIRST question from someone in the audience.

8. Actually, he rarely uses one unless it's a "big" theme speech.

He has his stump speech in all its variations down.

10. I think Harry Truman and Eleanor Roosevelt are the last 'recent' politicians NOT to use one.
