The Gaffe Twins strike again
Michelle Malkin ^ | 9/23/2008

Posted on 09/23/2008 8:13:28 AM PDT by HD1200

Looks like Joe Biden, in his interview with Katie Couric, was copying off the wrong classmate’s exam again. “When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’” Two problems here: Television did not exist in 1929, and FDR was elected in 1932. When Joe was in history class, was he cheating by looking over the class dunce’s shoulder, or does he just make this stuff up?

You have got to be blankety-blank kidding me. Geez. Joe Biden. What a dolt.

Talk about out of touch!

Even I know better than that, and I’m a product of public schools!

"Joe, you gotta tank this ... take one for the team."

"But I'll look like an idiot ..."

"Joe, do the words 'Fort Marcy Park' have any special meaning to you?"

"Well, Bill, when you put it that way ..."

The more I hear from Joe “higher IQ than you” Biden, the more confident I am that our Sarah is going to shred him in the debate.

I’m sure she has dropped a moose or two with a higher IQ than Joe.

I am honestly more afraid of Biden ending up president than Zerobama. If something happened to the Community Organizer in Chief, I could see Biden being declared mentally incompetent and Pope Nancy I taking over as President.

Cut Plugs a break.

Perhaps both events were covered on the same test in his 20th century american history class.

With Biden it is so hard to tell why the gaffe is made. Did he confuse the stack marlet crash with the great depression? Or, does he not have a clue how long TV’s have existed? Or, is he clearing the path for Hillary to step in and carry the team over the goal line?

Gee didn’t you know that the cave man developed television along with fire.

Grandpa always used to tell us stories about how when he was a kid he had to watch TV by candlelight .
