Teleprompter terror

Terror struck the Obama road tour today when a truck that contained his teleprompter was stolen. With the President unable to speak, in a panic the Secret Service put Vice President Biden on alert. At first the SS tried to activate Biden's teleprompter as a substitute, but were unable to debug the "gaffs" in time.

Luckily the stolen truck was recovered with Obama's teleprompter in tact and the President was able to function again. I trust that the Secret Service checked the software in the recovered teleprompter because he will say whatever is posted on the screen.  Let's wait until the President's next speech - if he proposes tax cuts, reducing the size of government, reducing food stamp and welfare budgets, and deregulation of the American business community, it was obviously a Tea Party conspiracy.

Bummer that it was found.... His Administration would have come to a standstill, because his speeches would have all taken 10 times as long: "Well.... uh... I, um....."

Chuck,

One of your best and the shortest as well. (I am not complaining about the other pieces).
