Sarah Palin "Winged" Her Speech Because of "Broken" Teleprompter

RedState: BREAKING: Sarah Palin "Winged" Her Speech Because of "Broken" Teleprompter

Hmm...color me skeptical. This sounds like breathless mythmaking by cheerleaders. YMMV.

I lean towards believing it. I noticed a weird reaction from her at one point and the style of delivery seemed change towards the end. At least to my eyes.

This made me laugh out loud:

At one point, crowd signs blocked the TelePrompTer altogether, one official said, prompting her to ad lib one of her best lines of the night: “You know the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick.”

It called to mind President Bill Clinton’s 1993 health care address before Congress. When he began speaking, the TelePrompTer was loaded with a previous speech. It took several minutes to get the right speech up, and Clinton spoke from memory.

Asked if something like this ever happened during the Bush administration, a Republican who worked in the Bush White House shook his head and offered a glance that suggested, “of course not.”
