Did Joe Gibbs just make a fool of himself, and McLame? Supposedly, teleprompter busted mid-speech.

Joe Gibbs Way Off Message

The teleprompter gave up early in his address, because he was not following the words as prepared. Suffice it to say, most of the words he just said about leaders wondering what "God would think" and thinking about how "God sent his son to Earth" were not officially scripted. They came from the paper he carried to the stage. So it remains unclear whether Gibbs was speaking entirely for himself when he said that electing John McCain and Sarah Palin would bring "a return to God's word that will lead America to a spiritual revival."

1. Sounds like the GOP is pissed about the Evangelicals going off message

It sounds like a little mini-inquisition is taking place, now that the evangelistas smell blood in the water.

7. Maybe there's an idiot switch on the teleprompter that caused it to shut down?
