Biden Flubs FDR, Television Dates

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened,'" Senator Obama's running mate told the "CBS Evening News." Except Republican Herbert Hoover was in office when the stock market crashed in October 1929. There also was no television at the time; TV wasn't introduced to the public until a decade later, at the 1939 World's Fair.

ROTFL

You know beyond any doubt that if Governor Sarah Palin had said something this stupid, the press would have dubbed her "Ms. Dan Quayle" and the flub would have been mentioned in every article ever written about her for the rest of her life.

A Democrat, though, will merely be said to have mis-spoken and it will never be mentioned again. In this case it merely proves what most people have known for a while, Biden is an idiot and not qualified to be VP, much less President.
