I’m so embarrassed.
"I dont care what Biden calls me, as long as I get the money."
Leader of the fee world...
I’m sure he was wearing an ear mike - he corrected himself very quickly.
Look for signs of an ear piece in the “big boy” newsie.
That’s exactly right.
Bidendropov had talked a solid 4 minutes -- a string of glips and moans but no major goofs -- and tripped. over. the. last. sentence. In a plusperfect soundbite.
