What the hell is the echo on CNN?

[spotbird]

Are they broadcasting the prompts into the earphone?

[Kimber Scott]

1. They are broadcasting the prompt, I think.

Oh my Gawd! LOL Chirac is looking around like what the f*?

[Walt Starr]

2. It ain;t an echo!

It's his friggin' Ear PIECE!!!!! It is coming before his mouth moves

[TahitiNut]

4. The 'prompts' also seem to await a DimSon pause, too.

In every instance, the 'prompt' didn't start until DimSon paused. It was so uniformly so, that I just couldn't ascribe it to audio/video synchronization anomalies. If it were a transmission synchronization issue, the timing wouldn't be so consistent. Furthermore, I didn't hear the same flub on 'democratization' in the prompting audio as I did when DimSon fumbled the word ... as he does when such words don't nest comfortably into his kill/punish/comply mindset. It really does very much appear like he's mimicking an audio feed to an earpiece.

6. I just listened to the tape, thinking the same - the democratization flub

is there on the echo and his live speech.

Damn.

[Kimber Scott]

3. It sounds like his own voice is repeating now.

[jjmalonejr]

5. It's on all the feeds to all the news stations

It's a delay related to English/French translation

[Egnever]

7. wow great questions from the French press :)

course chimp just repeats his talking points blah blah we will have an open dealing with the prison issue not like a tyrant would do.

heh not to mention he ripped his ear piece out before hearing the end of the question. I cant believe this guy leads America.

WTF!

[TahitiNut]

8. "leads America"??

Can we PLEASE drop the right-wing authoritarian memes?

Can we PLEASE say "{serves and} represents America"??

Speaking for myself, I don't need no fucking "leader" (Führer) in the White House. I'm NOT in the military any longer. In a democracy, "We the People" lead. DimSon is a disgusting representative and an appalling public servant.

[Egnever]

9. wow touchy this AM?

forget leads.

How bout I cant believe this guy is allowed to represent our country.

He should be locked on the ranch till his term is out. Hidden away so he cant embarass us any more.

That better?

[TahitiNut]

11. Yup, that's better. Not touchy, just tired of all this 'leader' crap.

I wouldn't let that guy lead my dog.

10. I love to find people with good potty-mouths that can express exactly what

I fell. Thanks, TahitiNut.

[TahitiNut]

12. Yeah... I'm getting quite the potty mouth as I'm continually ...

.... challenged to come up with more accurate ways of expressing my profound disgust with the Busholini Regime and those reichbots who continue to mainline this political poison into our Body Politic. They continue to commit more atrocities on democracy every single week than Clinton/Gore did in any year of their (somewhat mediocre, considering) tenure.

[LittleApple81]

14. I had to take a break from DU two weeks ago. I was getting a

pottier and pottier mouth with each passing hour. It is the frustation and indignation of seeing what is happening to our country and lives. But thanks again because you are not vocally repressed.

[spotbird]

13. Why didn't anyone explain the technical glitch?

It was very strange that no anchor explained the glitch. They acted like everything was fine, maybe they couldn't hear it?

[LiberalFighter]

15. I hope the foreign press heard the same thing with their own broadcast.

Can we find out if they did???? That would support it being a audio prompt being used by gw*.

[mithnanthy]

16. It definately sounded.....

Like it was being fed into his EARPIECE! The "voice" spoke and * immitated the phrasing immediately as it was fed to him! I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Glad you all experienced the same reaction.
