"When the stock market crashed [in 1929], Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed, he said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"
- Joe Biden to Katie Couric in an interview this week.
I know this was probably just a brain-fart. He meant to say "radio," no doubt. But if Bush, McCain, or Palin had made the gaffe, it would have been on every late night show, and the theme of front-page articles in dozens of major newspapers. They would have been labeled "stupid," "old," or "ignorant." Biden, however, just said "television" when he meant to say "radio."

ReplyDeleteSenator Biden, you didn't have to delete your comment! I can take it!
ReplyDeleteAlso...Herbert Hoover was president in 1929.
ReplyDeleteOh that's right...forgot that element.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering when SNL will do a skit on Joe Biden. They seem to be stuck on making fun of McCain/Palin.
ReplyDeleteAnother Biden funny. Last week he was trying to acknowledge someone in the room and asked him to please stand up...the only problem...the guy was in a wheelchair.
Joe Biden is Joke Biden...it is no wonder he deleted his remarks.
