The New York Observer's David Freedlander reports Biden taking the heat off of Obama's teleprompter.
Freedlander reports:
Vice President Joe Biden spoke at a $500 a head fundraiser for 250 big-wig Democratic donors today at the midtown Sheraton, hosted by east side Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, and made a few cracks...
[...]
Biden spoke mostly extemporaneously, and stopped midway through his speech and asked that the teleprompters flanking the podium come down.
"I am not using this thing. If you want to put it down, it's ok by me," he said. "You know Barack said, excuse me, the President said, 'Joe is learning to make a speech with a teleprompter and I am learning to do one without a teleprompter."'
Very clever and humble way to deal with the situation. Takes the heat off the legislation to defund the President's prompter, and makes light of Biden's loose-cannon nature.
