Why is Ken Melhman reading a teleprompter when talking to Blitzer on CNN??!?!
I swear, watching this pig on tv, his eyes are moving back and forth as if he was reading from a script. Why is this allowed? This isnt an interview, its a well rehersed speech.

1. Is CNN all Republican today or something?
I've had the TV off today and except for going to vote have kept up through DU. But, so far, the only Democrat that I've seen been on was Ford on MSNBC. What's with CNN???

2. I was thinking the same thing while watching him.
It looked like he was reading new lies he hadn't committed to memory yet.

4. Could it be to prove to the world that he's not illiterate?
I think he's given up trying to prove he's not gay.

6. Gotta hit ALL those talking points.
And they're hard to remember when you're in a blind panic over losing your job in a couple of days.

7. Because he needs to read his own talking points today
It helps him keep his lies in order.

9. This is planned
If you don't give them fodder, they can't chew on you.
There is more than one way to win an information war.
This is PSYOPS 101.

The lack of Democratic faces on television is not all one sided.

count on it.
