After Democrat Martin Walsh won Boston's mayoral race on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden called to congratulate him. The problem? He called the wrong Martin Walsh.
“You son of a gun, Marty! You did it," Biden told the not-mayor-elect Walsh, according to the Boston Globe.
But the vice president wasn't the only one to make the mistake.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak all called political consultant Martin Walsh and not mayor-elect Walsh, according to reports.
A White House phone operator even rang asking him to hold for President Barack Obama before Walsh explained they had the wrong man, the State House News Service reports.
Walsh was sitting on his couch at home watching election results when the calls came in. He and his wife laughed off the confusion and offered to help Biden track down the number of the Martin Walsh he was looking for.
“We’re a dime a dozen in Boston,” Walsh told the Globe. “I probably know eight Marty Walshes.”

Quintessential dolt.

The sociopathic Mr. Magoo.
Joe Biden, - Capt Bingington of McHale’s Navy live.
Is the expression “Son of a gun” an insensitive, pro-gun ownership, and therefore racist remark?
Obama was calling the wrong one too but no one seems to notice.
Well, yes, and it’s sexist too - how do we know that the guy - sorry, the “pyrsyn” - referred to doesn’t consider himself a womyn? Or any other of the eleven genders. Or is it twelve now? Do rubber fetishists get their own gender?
Is biden able to walk and breath at the same time without his brain having a short circuit?
You would think with all the phone data the NSA has access to, Joe could at least get the right phone number.
How so true what Ted Cruz has been saying to just mention his name and you get giggles. LOL
“Two Car Funeral” Biden
