One episode of the old 'Mary Tyler Moore' TV show had the newscaster,
Ted Baxter reading the teleprompter. One of the staff added a comment
like 'I'm a big idiot' to his news roll and he read it, live on camera.
Unfortunately, most people who need a teleprompter are really that
stupid.

Possibly there was an electronic malfunction that caused this bus crash?

I often felt that Bush was more under the influence of Rumsfeld than Cheney...

Granted, Rumsfeld and Cheney are quite chummy with one another anyway.
