Deja vu: Brezhnev and a Teleprompter:

Brezhnev, a former ruler of Russia, comes to address a big Communist party meeting, and starts: "Dear Comrades Imperialists," The whole hall perked up - "what did he say??" Brezhnev tried again... "Dear Comrades Imperialists," Well, by now the hall was in pandemonium - was he trying to call them Imperialists? Then, an advisor walked over to the podium and pointed to the speech for Brezhnev. "Oh..." he muttered, and started again: "Dear Comrades, Imperialists are everywhere."
