This is the only time in my life that I've positive CHEERED for a computer!

Comedy Gold indeed!

All Iowahawk's video was missing was Queens "Another one bites the Dust"...

Gotcha, Barry!

re: #1 pre-Boomer Marine brat

This is the only time in my life that I've positive CHEERED for a computer!

PIMF "positively"

/typing with glee is my only excuse

The "Vista?" line cracked me up.

The truth hurts, Obama!

God help us if that teleprompter actually ever did start scrolling Wright sermons or Ayer manifestos.

BTW, Barack, when did you first met Ayers?

Rein

Good stuff

Bailout without a Bailout?

A couple of hot kinky iMacs on the tour bus. LMAO!

Tears are rolling down my face I am laughing so hard!

Actually, that'd be a funny thing to do during a BHO speech. Hack into his teleprompter and change the words.

re: #8 redstateredneck

The truth hurts doesn't it, Barack. Oh sure, maybe not as much as jumping on a bicycle with the seat missing, but it hurts.

Go all Ron Burgundy on his ass- I love it.

Iowahawk for President!

"... the audacity of dope ..."

Ahhhh. Baah. Da...

Hold on a second!

Ahhh. Baah!...Ummm. Doh!

I'll be voting without a teleprompter. 'Nuff said.

TELEPROMPTER

with special guest Brack Obama

1 t-shirt please, size XL - and 2 small ones for the kids.

Sweet jeebus!

Watching the clips of Barry's oratory brilliance - a little voice in my head was calling out for some person in the audience, imitating Cartman, yelling to Barry, "Dude, get to the fucking point already".

and in other obambi news

the other side of the coin

I am convinced when he said "I can't hear myself" his handlers where talking to him with an earpiece.

Excellent. How do I get in touch with Iowahawk? He owes me a new keyboard.

He reminds me of Billy Bibbett from One flew over the cuckoos nest

nu nu nuh no nu nu nunu nurse ra ra rarachett

With Special Guest Barack Obama?

Oh, Iowahawk is brilliant.

A couple of hot, kinky young I-Macs - lolololol

anyone know how to remotely hack into a teleprompter? })

TELEPROMPTER

_{with special guest Barack Obama}

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

BWAAAAHAAAAAA!

Perfect.

McCain ought to buy the rights to this and run it as a campaign ad 24/7 for the next 30 days.

re: #30 MandyManners

With Special Guest Barack Obama?

Oh, Iowahawk is brilliant.

And did you notice how quickly that faded? LMAO!

Yeah, I'm laughing now.
I just hope I don't have to find solace in laughing at 0bama for four years.

re: #32 bosforus

Not sure, but it'd probably help to use a hot, kinky iMac.

Thanks, Iowahawk- we all needed a laugh. It's a precious commodity these days.

If you could just turn it off....he'll make a fool of himself on his own trying to think on his feet.

Amen.

Rush: "Glenn Reynolds, who runs the blog Little Green Footballs --"

Oops.

Rush is leading off with ... LGF?

LGF just mentioned by Rush today!

Did Rush just say Glenn Reynolds runs Little Green Footballs?

rush is on crack, he just said glenn reynolds runs lgf? what's he talking about?

Charles, you just got mentioned by Rush!

Rush is confusing Instapundit with our very own Charles; an email sent to Glenn Reynolds is being credited as being sent to Charles at LGF.

Oh, dear.

re: #40 redstateredneck

If you could just turn it off....he'll make a fool of himself on his own trying to think on his feet.

true, but he's won't doubt the prompter, no matter how absurd the content. seems to be the case already anyway.

re: #32 bosforus

It's got to be on some sort of network to get hacked. I'd bet against it. Probably all local, no network. Remote controls for teleprompter, probably IR - line of sight. It may not even be on a computer, might just be a flash card:

[Link: www.autoscript.tv...]

Anyone got the specs (make, model, etc.) for it?

Rush needs to get his facts straight. Glenn Reynolds does not run LGF.

re: #45 ciaospirit

Did Rush just say Glenn Reynolds runs Little Green Footballs?

He did!

Someone, call Rush, quick!

It's important to get the credits right!

re: #40 redstateredneck

I wonder if one of these could be modified to do the trick.

re: #51 Honorary Yooper

We know!

I'm glad that Glenn Reynolds' publication of that email is getting some notice, though.

sigh...I sure wish more people believed in the American people and that we DONT need a government bailout. The markets reflect this today.

re: #53 CIA Reject

I wonder if one of these could be modified to do the trick.

I sent him an email.

Did the hamsters just get hit with their own surge?

re: #39 Sharmuta

Thanks, Iowahawk- we all needed a laugh. It's a precious commodity these days.

And I honestly believe that one of the reasons the LLL/LSM is going meltdownplus over Maverick/Sarahcuda is because we on this side know how to mock them, taunt them, tease them and generally call them out on their buffoonery. Who do they have? Keith Overbite, Bill Mayhem, Whoopi
Cushion, Roseanne Barnyard, Al Frankenstein and the other losers?

/God, it must suck to be them

re: #57 Honorary Yooper

Did the hamsters just get hit with their own surge?

Kind of wondering that myself... Or maybe a million ditto heads popped by to see what the ruckus was all about....

Rush Limbaugh just mentioned LGF on his show. (By accident - he meant to refer to Instapundit.)

The traffic counter shot up by more than 1500 visitors almost instantly.

From the POTUS on down, majority and minority leaders, candidates, ALL said we MUST have a bailpout. The American people said, NO.
Market rebounds.

re: #60 Charles

LOL.....

oops.

Hey, uh, Glenn, we got clean up on a previous thread or something. Seriously, come on Glenn.

/heh.

But SNL will not parody this or Biden gaffes.
Nope, Tina Fey just wants to mock Sarah Palin.
She does nail the look & 'Fargo" accent & usage , But she is now going over the top.
They are afraid to break bad on Barry.

Any publicity is good publicity.

The bailout money could give each American $75,000. That's a better solution. But we all know they're just bailing out their buddies.

I for one welcome our ditto head overlords................ lol...lol...lol...

re: #66 ciaospirit

I'll take that $75,000, even spread out over several years!

As I said before, we can tolerate the satire, we can laugh at ourselves and our gaffes and foibles. The other side cannot. The Devil cannot stand to be laughed at.

Rush back-pedaling as fast as he can lol

heh, I just emailed him that you are you.

To any new folks that are reading this from Missouri:

Obama has formed what he calls "truth squads" that are using Missouri prosecutors and sheriff's.
If you do not want him to try to stifle free speech please contact Gov Blunt, Senator Bond or the US Attorney Rush Limbaugh Sr.

has the 1500 surge ended.
twirls all over the place

Holy crap, that was some funny stuff!

re: #71 Wishing

Rush back-pedaling as fast as he can lol

what do you mean?

When I saw Iowahawk's work yesterday, I thought some wizard with a video editing package could put Barack's face on Al Pacino in the "Scarface" scene...running in the foyer with the assault rifle, but this time with a teleprompter, positioned so you could read it and it would say something like "Say hello to....ugh, ugh, ugh, ummm, ugh,...MY LITTLE FRIEND!"

Could be kinda funny, ya know....

Yeah, this was pretty funny. But I've also seen YouTube videos of Bush gaffes that make you wonder how he ever got elected.

Maybe some of the visitors will clue Rush in to this great Iowahawk video.

Makes sense. It shows the power of the LGF spinoff links though.

Keop those spinoff links coming!

re: #68 Dianna

I'll take that $75,000, even spread out over several years!

I'll pay off my mortgage and every other penny I owe.
Hell, just give me 60 and give the other 15 to the charity of my choice.

Rush just corrected himself ...

...what did he do, pass some gas?

re: #56 ciaospirit

I sent him an email.

I hope he's a Republican :-)

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT!

Many, many, many thanks to Iowahawk for this! Dittos to much needed laughter today!

Excelente Senor Iowahawk...muy caliente!

Heck who needs to hack? All we need to do is get the MSM to report what he really advocates in the first place.

I'm embarrassed to say I run a teleprompter, for what that's worth. The programs we use are windows based; text is input by a producer, not the operator (I'm a a tv station.) The talent likes to be able to see the operator, although that's not always necessary. The broadcast program we use is based on a rheostat- it's all very simple insofar that you're moving a small wheel- wheel moves faster, text moves faster. Wheel moves slower, text moves slower. When the program fails (and it does do that, usually because of odd keystroke sequences by the producer) the text rolls to black. There is nothing there.

Easiest way to screw with talent is to mess with their teleprompter operator. Get them drunk, flash them during the show, that sort of thing. The teleprompter op is the person sitting with a screen full of just text in front of them, and some kind of hand control, usually with a wheel. If the operator loses their place, the talent is completely screwed.

Most professional anchors can actually cope if their teleprompter goes out.

Certain politicians? Not so much.

Well, I happen to have a hot, kinky iMac, and danged if it wants to hang around a bus with an Obama prompter.

Think different.

Oops. Correction. Not every American. Mortgage holders.

re: #79 So?

Yeah, this was pretty funny. But I've also seen YouTube videos of Bush gaffes that make you wonder how he ever got elected.

You've probably seen those on the evening news also. Won't see Barry on there or SNL.

Note that the teleprompter screen in this right-wing smear piece is BLACK.

More racism.

ROTFLMAO

Just stopped laughing enough to post. I started watching at 3 comments.

badi badi badi thats all folks

buzz up! sorry for sounding like a broken record, even though I have a Yahoo account, I get a message that my buzz up vote isnt being counted. Im convinced its a conspiracy.

A new classic!

Afraid? Not consciously, not afraid as in fear for their welfare. Gutless, yes, like a bully is gutless. They love being popular, they love their own mythology and drama, they love accolades and they love group thinking, group approval, group excitement, they more than all else love power in whatever form, including sadistic power over a scapegoat.

They are the Ministry of Truth, devoid of character, integrity or conscience. Or, less dramatically, they are immature in the scale of moral and intellectual development, not self-actualized or realized but merely

......conformist

A little late, but Iowahawk is hilarious and a national treasure! Thanks 'hawk!

It's a good thing that Iowahawk is not from Missouri. Obama's truth shock-troopers would have shut this right down. An intelligent computer? Piffle!
