NY Times’ Maureen Dowd says Biden campaign aide pressed her to scrub ‘goodest’ gaffe
NY Post ^ | 07/08/2024 | Ariel Zilber

New York Times op-ed columnist Maureen Dowd said a campaign aide working to help re-elect President Joe Biden asked her to scrub a verbal gaffe from one of his recent media appearances.

In her column in the op-ed section of Sunday’s Times, Dowd wrote that TJ Ducklo, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, emailed her after she published a commentary on Saturday that included reference to the word “goodest.”

Biden appeared to utter the non-word during his interview on Friday with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, but the network later revised the transcript to reflect that the president actually said “good as.”

Disney-owned ABC News altered the initial transcript at the behest of the White House, according to The New York Times. The Gray Lady also revised the Biden quote “to conform with the updated ABC transcript.”

Substitute “goodest” with “good as”. These clowns are comically stupid.

Not only is it a perfectly cromulent word, “A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man.”

I should have explained it better. It went from

“I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,”

to

“I’ll feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,”.

Just imagine if the mainstream media actually reported the truth like this all the time...or even 10% of the time...

If the Bidens had a sense of humor, they could have played the gaffe like Trump’s “covfefe” or George the Younger’s “misunderestimated”.

The Biden’s DON’T have a sense of humor. Also, the gaffe’s are hitting way too close to home.

Drop it, Maureen, it's weak, if there is a point to be made this sounds like you're grasping at straws.

they are pathetic, frankly. Scrubbing and ‘vetting’ made up words this putz might use when all they have to do is sit back and that arrogant ass just run his mouth - they’ll get more made up words than yahooty..

Even if Biden slurred “good as” the grammar would then be incorrect....

....so have it your way, you brain dead fraud.

Shoot, a radio station fired a sister for asking the questions the Biden camp provided.

Woe, our integrity the station cried !

Hell, if the station had any integrity, why were they inviting Pedo Joe in the first place ?

Should she have confused the old bastard by asking something not on his cheat sheet ?

Just a guess but I’m thinking, ‘depends on where the bribes are coming from’.

Remember when they said if Trump lost he wouldn’t leave the WH? Dictator for life? The Biden family will have to be tear gassed out of the WH. Even if the 25th is invoked. Projection always.

Normally Democrats goose step in rigid formation. Dissenters end up like Rod R. Blagojevich the former Former Governor of Illinois . . All this division among the Rats now. I LOVE it!

(Rod was released early from prison thanks to clemency from Trump. Rod is now a big fan!)

They’re both old, crusty and on the way to the fire. These people get drug out when losers know the score, like anyone knows w who they are anymore

Nobody cares who they are except the old folks… That’s your target

It is Catherine Zeta Jones. Douglas dumped Dowd for Jones.

“NY Times’ Maureen Dowd says Biden campaign aide pressed her to scrub ‘goodest’ gaffe”

I’m almost positive that if ONLY Maureen had bent the knee and changed “goodest” to “good as”, then all of this “biden is senile” nonsense would blow over, and Joe Biden would be guaranteed to win the Presidency for four more years ...
