Joe Biden’s people say that Joe is “gaffe prone” and always has been, and shrug it off. That’s just who he is, no big deal. It’s perplexing how they casually dismiss Biden’s verbal miscues but adamantly insist on Donald Trump’s as revealing deep, dark, ugly things.
Actually, Joe’s gaffes are more like lies than gaffes. They pop out of his mouth as gaffes, but when he hears them and realizes what he just said, he doubles down rather than laughing at himself and rephrasing on the spot. “Did I really just say that? That’s probably overstating. Let me try again.” Or smacking himself upside the head with a grimace. “There I go again. Gimme another go at that.” In such a way, he could actually turn mistakes into advantages, the fundamentally decent old guy who can take the issue seriously without taking himself too seriously.
So there are ways to say what Joe wants to say without just lying and refusing to back down, but he’s too proud to do that. It’s true that he has always had a runaway mouth. It’s also true that he’s insecure about whether he’s smart enough to fit in with all the others he thinks are smarter than he, which would be just about everybody in D.C. This insecurity probably accounts for his peculiar insistence on referring to his wife as Doctor Jill Biden. He gets to bask in the reflected glow of her professional smarts, indicated by the title.

Joe referred to one of his gaffes as a “Freudian slip.”
He even makes gaffes discussing his gaffes.
What a fitting description.
As God is his witness, I'll bet he thinks turkeys can fly.
That was Arthur Carlson, WKRP.
Well unless they can climb trees they can and do fly. When we went turkey hunting in Georgia we would wait for them to come out of the trees to feed in the morning.
His wife is a friggin’ “doctor” of education. That’s not a distinction, that’s a resume stain.
oops ... yep .... same thing only different.
There are signs of mental deterioration that comes with old age. This we don’t need
Maybe we should call it a Fredoian slip.
“Maybe we should call it a Fredoian slip.”
That’s awesome!!! Trump should use that against the media whenever they lie and have to correct it.
President Trump may use with my permission, but if this turns into a T Shirt then we need to negotiate......
Especially understanding his lefty activists would be pulling his strings while he napped.
Joe will pick a rabid un-electable leftist as his running mate with the plan to quickly resign for “medical reasons” or “to spend more time with his family.”
He's unelectable. As much as the establishment Dems believe he's the most electable, he's not. Seriously, any unbiased observer must see his diminished capacity.
Well, turkeys can fly. The wild ones can at least.
Butterballs fattening up for the meal table are twice as fat as their wild cousins and can't get off the ground.
Maybe Joe should consider "whether pigs have wings"? (from Through The Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll)
:-)
Whoa....you nailed it.
