Looks like someone else has a Teleprompter "problem"...

Rev. Al goes down mumbling...



From the web site, Mediaite: "It was the perfect fledgling anchor moment: at some point earlier today, controversial MSNBC hire Al Sharpton tried to read an impassioned plea to protesters to “resist,” but his point was lost amidst the wrath of the Teleprompter gods, snatching the words away. It was also a perfect moment for those arguing that that the Sharpton hire was at best unwise; at worst disrespectful and the product of quid pro quo." (Video clip below...)

Mediaite continues..."Sharpton was covering the Wisconsin recall election fueled by a struggle between Gov. Scott Walker and the state’s labor unions, and was imploring union workers to resist the crackdown. What was meant to be a rousing battle cry came out something like this: 'but resist we much… we must… and we will much… about… that… be committed.' It didn’t take long for the clip to appear on Breitbart.tv with the title 'Greatest Al Sharpton Clip Ever' (we beg to differ) and make the rounds on the Twittersphere with a cornucopia of giggly commentary attached. And they do have a point– it’s a pretty funny clip, and not just for the reasons those who find Sharpton reprehensible would think so."

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy...
