#1 Wouldn't it be amusing if someone put the lyrics to "I am the Walrus" into Obama's teleprompter for his next speech?

Just tossing out an idea here.

#2 More, more, more Barry. We simply must hear and see more of your genius oh gifted one.

Teleprompter techs, why do they hate us?

#3 I want to be first to forecast that some techie, some where (Russia, China, India?) will eventually find a way to hack the tele-prompter and insert Mike's lyrics from "I am a Walrus". You saw it here first.

#4 I would like to see "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts - in fact I am one".

#6 In spite of the gaff, though, it sounds as if Obama treated Cowen a heckuva lot better than Brown. Maybe there's some kinda Boston/Chicago type connection there.

#7 Maybe there's some kinda Boston/Chicago type connection there.

Before the Sicilians, the Irish ran the Chicago mobs. After Capone came along, they just went into politics.

"Bathhouse John" Coughlin, "Hinky Dink" Kenna, the Comiskeys, Kellys, Kennellys and, of course, the Daleys spring to mind.

#8 Vodkapundit is offering $20 for a specific message to be programed into the teleprompter.

#9 $20 is chump change - I'll offer $100.

And I don't even know what the message is.... :-D
