How can I copy my public ssh key to hundreds of computers without retyping my password hundreds of times?

I want to put my public ssh key on hundreds of computers. Usually I just do "ssh-copy-id remoteHost001" and then type in my password. Obviously it's a pain to retype my password a hundred times. What's the easiest way to put my public key on hundreds of computers without wearing my fingers down to nubs?

ssh commands don't provide command line parameters for passwords to prevent users from hard-scripting their passwords. You can use this trick or this one to pass the password to the command automatically.
