SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

OH NO, THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE – OVERNIGHT, FROM FOX:    President Biden appeared to read technical instructions from his teleprompter during a Tuesday speech about rising gas prices.  "Because of the actions we've taken, things have begun to change," Biden said.  "End of quote," Biden added before moving on to his next sentence.  Biden's aside came during a speech about rising gas prices and the economy, during which he also delivered a Thanksgiving message...The Biden administration has repeatedly faced accusations that the president is not in charge of his communications. In September, the White House abruptly cut the feed of Biden's briefing on wildfires with federal and state officials in Boise, Idaho.  You know a president is in trouble when he starts reading the stage directions from his own speeches.  Next time, if he says "smile and be sincere" you'll know that things have gone from bad to worse.
