Jan Brewer Left Speechless As Teleprompter Fails (VIDEO)



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/10/jan-brewer-speech-silence_n_834139.html

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer created an extended pause during a speech Wednesday, when her teleprompter died, forcing her to freeze for a short time.

Brewer was delivering a message about economic development and education reform in Mesa, Arizona, when she was left speechless by the faulty equipment.

"As we limit the growth of the public sector and restrain unnecessary regulation, stimulate the engine of free enterprise (long pause) Well, the Teleprompter went dead," Brewer said, drawing laughs from the audience.

She then went on to read from the hard copy of her address.

1. She can read?
I always thought she was just repeating what the voices in her head were telling her.

2. So easy just to read what someone else wrote.
A real politician would have their speech memorized...if it is something they believe in. Now we have blanks as politics and all they do is pretend to be real and sincere toward...wait, someone scroll up I don't know what my next line is! LINE!

in her back and wound it, and she continued.

6. As much as I enjoy watching her fumble yet again
I have to think of how horrible a public speaker I am and how, no matter whether or not I knew my subject, I would freak out if my prompter died. The last time, during that interview, did her teleprompter fail or was it just her brain?

12. Her alleged brain is a teleprompter. Maybe she should discuss the people she is killing
by forcing them off donor lists because of her dirty budget cuts. The money is there, it's just allocated to other things. What is more important than human lives? Oh, I forgot, money for re elections. What a completely immoral HAG. By the way Gov. HAG, how are all those phony headless bodies you lied about being in the desert killed by "illegal" drug pushing aliens? What a Psycho.

13. Nah, she needs that to deliver her phony speeches that someone else wrote for her.
Without that, she'd only be able to make up things about headless corpses in the desert that never existed except in that snake sized brain in her head. What a Baboon......no offense to baboons, a baboon would be twice the governor she is and wouldn't need a teleprompter.

15. Why do the Repukes think Teleprompters are a tool of the devil unless
THEY use them? One of the dumbest things I've ever seen is the pout-rage over Obama using a teleprompter. Like every public speaker does. However although they are easier to use than a paper script, you'd think that a well-prepared staff would have a paper script as a back up to power or tech problems. Somebody should be reading along and highlight the part where she stopped and very quickly bring it up to her. That's an intern type job it is kind of unbelievable that the whole thing just kind of hits the wall with no plan B when the TP dies.

22. Just figured out a way to get rid of Brewer.
Raise money for her plastic surgery. It will take four years of constant work to fix that face. With her under the knife 24-7, she won't have time to F up.

23. The next time someone brings up Obama's teleprompter
remind them of this. At least Obama can speak without his electronic crutch.
