what are those two tinted plastic panels on chrome stands on either side of the podium at every press conference or debate ?

spit guard.....

Tele prompters, so the idiots know what to say

Thanks E

I dunno . . .I like the spit guard idea myself . . same thing, really!!

Some might suggest digital puppet strings

Scuba, don't listen to the guys in the cheap seats. E-has it right.

C'mon . . we know E has it right . . but when are political teleprompters not spit guards?

Could they actually be 'spit Deflectors' for the audience!

They are holographic projectors, star wars has come to fruition
