In the best joke of the day, possibly the month, Peter Jennings, ABC News anchor, has just read an intro to a video actuarial in which he states:

"... President - ta... - Clinton on his ranch in Scotland has to say about the situation in Afganistan"

The actuarial has to do with president Bush on his ranch in Texas...

Just goes to show, he doesn't think about what he reads, he just reads it.

Actually, you can tell he thought a bit about it - that pause where he says 'taaaa..' sounds like he's got a question in his mind, but decides the guys running the teleprompter and handing him what to read wouldn't mess with him in that manner.

I can just picture some guy typing at the teleprompter that's a bit pissed with ol' Peter... messing him up like that - serves him right [:D]

My wife and I watched it three times to make sure we weren't hearing things... it absolutely made no sense...

Talking Head, a real slap in the face to the band.

I saw that!  Some underling no doubt tripped him up on the teleprompter.  In the last year or so, he's been quite testy when the behind the scenes people mess up with video, etc.  Bottom line, tonight we saw him for the fool he really is.

Hear CBS is going to switch to a "Talking Bottom" in 2002.  Rather is gonna be pissed.

What's she look like? [:D]
