Mitt Romney: 'End of quote'

by Jed Lewison

Mitt Romney accidentally reads "end of quote"—which wasn't part of his prepared remarks—from the TelePrompter:

As David Waldman put it:

Hi comma I'm Mitt Romney comma and I apostrophe em running for president period
— @KagroX via TweetDeck

And:

President Obama is an idiot for using a teleprompter exclamation point laughter exclamation point am I right question mark
— @KagroX via TweetDeck

Romney's slip is an unfortunate occurrence for Republicans, given how much they enjoy trashing Obama as being nothing more than an empty suit reading from a TelePrompter. Republicans like Mitt Romney, who once mocked Obama for the very same thing, though nowadays he privately defends the practice.

1. LOL n/t

[Terra Alta]

2. You just can't make this stuff up

and we all thought Bush was stupid...

[Blanks]

3. The campaign is young.

All of the candidates get a little less sharp as the campaign wears on. If he's having trouble already he'll be toast by the end of October.

[heaven05]

30. hope

I am hoping that's true: romney

[progressivebydesign]

4. haha. Almost as bad as his going to the NAACP and quoting MLK.

Is that entire campaign tone-deaf, or what? Romney makes Wonder Bread look exotic.

[HopeHoops]

7. rMoney makes Wonder Bread look like seeded rye. How white-bred (intentional) can you get?

[knitter4democracy]

5. That. is. hilarious!

Yeah, I'm going with he reads the teleprompter. Heh.

[HopeHoops]

6. At least he didn't write notes on his hand.

[tanyev]

8. I am so bummed that Stewart and Colbert are on vacation this week.

[Betsy Ross]

15. Are they on vacation?

Or just not on DirecTV?

[Enrique]

9. he said it with such feeling

you could tell he really meant it.

[liberalmuse]

10. One good thing...

Obama being labeled as the "TelePromptor President" just got flushed down the toilet. But...conservative stupidity is alive and kicking, so I may need to retract.

[lpbk2713]

11. The wheels are falling off the Romney wagon even as we watch.

The way he's going he will have a total emotional collapse before the Tampa convention.

I predict Obama will win by default due to his opponent being locked up in a rubber room.

12. Reminds me of that scene in Annie.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Bwahaa!

That's all he can do. Read badly from a teleprompter. And would read exactly what he sees, including a fly that may land on it, or a speck of dust.

[Bossy Monkey]

14. "Go fuck yourself, San Diego." n/t

[gort]

22. I'm Mitt Romney?

Dammit! who typed a Question Mark on the teleprompter?

[markpkessinger]

16. Next time I hear a wingnut bitching about the President's use of a teleprompter . . .

. . . I will respond, "Well, at least he know how to use the damned thing!"

[rufus dog]

17. This needs to be kicked - FOREVER!

Another Repuke talking point goes BOOM!

[KurtNYC]

18. I wish they had puty his stage directions in the TelePrompter script also

"Thank you for having me, look sincere, I am honored to be speaking with you all glance around the room."

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. i forgot all about this

he didn't get mocked nearly enough for this.

[longship]

27. He should use Victor Borge's audible punctuation.

Now at least that would get some laughs, even if he couldn't do it right. Borge was a master.

[louis-t]

29. Man, you beat me by 4 minutes.

[louis-t]

28. New ad: This quote next to Victor Borge puncuation bit.

[Blanks]
