I heard yesterday that there was speculation that * pre-taped his

speech the other night, especially since they weren't letting photogs in. I woke up this morning and heard about the attack on the Amer. Embassy in Greece and for some reason I thought "guess chickensh*t's hiding in an undisclosed location this morning". Then I thought that was probably where he was the other night since he knew they were raiding the Iranian Consulate - he was probably hiding in a safe place just in case they retalliated.

We'll probably never know for sure, but that's what I'm thinking.

1. The speech did go on air past Junior's bedtime

and he got through twenty minutes of speechmaking without all the ahs and ums and broken sentences.

It was a very wierd speech for Junior.

I'm betting Memorex.

2. I was thinking it looked as if he was placed in front of a

a backdrop. ...I think it was taped.

3. IT SKIPPED AND FROZE HERE

OF COURSE IT WAS TAPED- but like his way of deceit he would not acknowledge it. i have it taped with the froze frame. and you know the media knows it-probably-muffled under the security act

9. "skipped and froze"..

That's exactly the way I described it. It just burns me up that the little "Live" icon was at the bottom of the screen the whole time.

If there's anyone here who works in the industry who can clarify how that would happen - a bad feed or something - I'd be interested in hearing it. I think it definitely was taped, which begs the question, "Why was it necessary?"

7. DU folks who watched it thought so.

If you read through the official threads of the speech that are posted on the front page here at DU you will see comments from several who were sure of it.

12. Because the blip wasn't on the tape itself...

Don't know exactly how to explain it. Like if the heads are dirty on your VCR or some of the "gears" aren't working right and it makes a perfectly good tape skip. Something like that.

edit> Like LibInTexas says, above: occurred on playback.
