Telepromptor 

A person whose reliance upon a teleprompter to such a degree that s/he is lost and unable to formulate a coherent sentence without utilizing the device is ridiculous and unbecoming.
Man: Oh look, Senator Smith is on all the networks giving a speech.
Woman: He's such a Telepromptor, sticks to the script and can put you to sleep with his lack of inflection.

Man: You're right, I'm already falling asleep.

John stood up before the class and, with a deadpan tone, addressed the students as a Telepromptor, lacking any emotion and boring everyone to death.

Palin Teleprompter 

The palm of your hand. As in, the place to write down the main points you want to hit in a speech or an interview, if you're too dumb to remember them.

Pioneered by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin during her creampuff interview at the Tea Party Convention in Nashville on February 6, 2010.
I knew the interviewer would ask me what my core principles were, but I couldn't remember them because I'm a complete moron, so I wrote them on my Palin Teleprompter and discretely checked them during the interview. I'm sure no one noticed!

Alaskan teleprompter 

Being so stupid and incompetent that you need to write notes on your hand simply to remember what to say.

From Sarah Palin's need to use notes scribbled on her hand to remind her of the few basic key points of her speech at the Tea Party convention in Nashville, TN.
Jon: I want to propose to Lisa but I don't think I can remember what to say.

Eric: Dude, you're such an idiot. Just use an Alaskan teleprompter and write "Will you marry me?" on your hand.
