Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley (D.) apparently read the word "conclusion" off of his teleprompter Thursday during the state of the state address.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M.: The Washington Post reports O'Malley often says "conclusion" at the end of his speeches. Anchorman moment or not, it remains a strange rhetorical device.
