Rite Aid” … wrong store!
Joe Biden’s latest campaign-trail gaffe is an inspiring tale about a Boston strike — it just didn’t happen quite like Joe said.
The presidential front-runner was speaking at an AFL-CIO event in Philadelphia Tuesday when he recounted visiting Boston last April to address the Stop & Shop workers’ strike — except he called it the “Rite Aid strike.”
“When I went up to the — there was the Rite Aid strike. I looked out in that parking lot when I was talking with the folks and I was walking a picket line up in Boston,” Biden said. “And what happened? I looked out there and I’ll bet you 40% of the people there were non-union.”
Biden, not yet a presidential candidate at the time, lent his support to the striking Stop & Shop employees outside the chain’s South Bay Center location, after more than 30,000 workers walked off their jobs following a breakdown in contract negotiations that lasted 11 days.
Stop & Shop is headquartered in Quincy. Rite Aid was founded in Biden’s native Scranton, Pa., and is based out of the Harrisburg area. Neither company responded to a request for comment on Biden’s gaffe Tuesday.
“Was he thinking about Rite Aid because he’s upset because he couldn’t get his prescription filled?” quipped Democratic consultant Scott Ferson.
The mix-up was the latest in a string of campaign-trail bloopers large and small that have dogged the 76-year-old former vice president, raising questions of his mental fitness and prompting an attack from low-polling rival Julián Castro in last week’s debate.

Biden is incompetent, but he is the best they have.
Well, if you go back a few years, Rite Aid had a sister pharmacy called Medi Mart, but it was a competitor to Rite Aid, ultimately being sold to Walgreens.
I meant to say Stop and Shop had a sister pharmacy called Medi Mart. Biden must be rubbing off on me. Stop that, Joe!
Cue the cue cards ... if he can still see out of his good eye.
I wouldn’t be surprised if all these gaffes were intentional. Joe is setting this up for Hillary to come in late in the game and “save” the Dims from a likely defeat. Joe is a place holder for the eventual candidate, namely H. Clinton.
Won’t be long now till they lead him mumbling off the stage. Oh that will be so sweet!
Joe is already out. MSM going Liawatha.
Rite Aid now is owned by CVS...
What happens when he wants to strike Iran and sends the missiles to the wrong country?
“Biden is incompetent, but he is the best they have.”
IMHO he is not going to get any better with age. In fact a year from now he will be worse.
There is someone else to be named at a latter date.
Would not surprise me if Romney changed parties.
Wouldn’t it be great if Rite Aid came out tomorrow and announced a “Joe Biden Discount” on all their Alzheimer’s medication?
I bought a cheapo shaving brush, $3.59, at Rite Aid in the mid-1980s. Chinese boar, not badger.
Lasted about 30 years before the handle broke apart. I knew I should have dipped it in an epoxy paint when it started to flake...
I would donate money to Romney if he did that ... just to see Donald Trump lay waste to him from one end of the country to another on Twitter, in campaign ads, in the debates, etc.
Years ago A + P was suppose to merge with Stop and Shop. They were going to call it Stop and P.

The PIAPS has been seen out test flying her new, state-of-the-art, supersonic broom. She, and all her evil monkeys, could swoop down and take all the marbles. Old Bernie would try to set the broom on fire after that last go-around. Beato would toss her an AR15 and Lieawatha...well, she’d just lie...again.
