I don't understand, Biden is freakin awesome, how could anybody call him a douchebag? If anything he's an awesome douchebag.
Almost mockingly? Try 'desperately scrambling to get Gibson to tell her what it was, stalling'. Cornered, she blundered: 'it represents his views'. She could not stand to say she did not know - if you were right, she would not look bad for saying so, what looks bad is her dishonestly pretending she did know.
If I asked you what the Flurt doctrine is, you would be fine to say, "the what?", but if you said you had a strong opinion on it, when you had no idea what it was, that's bad.
As for it being a 'made up media term', so is 'Watergate', but if you don't know what it is, you aren't too well informed. Given how many defended her by pointing out that the term was defined for candidates in the primary debates, they don't seem to realize the implication is that she did not watch the debates. If you were right that it's an obscure term, she should have stuck to making him define the term. Instead she tried to deceive viewers.
Uh... ya? Don't see a gaffe there, and isn't it pretty well agreed where Al Queda is?
Gee, they don't agree on everything. Remember George H. W. Bush calling Reagan's entire economic message "voodoo economics" - then becoming his running mate?
A man he clearly did not know, saying it as he looked at the speech for the name, and he recovered very well, walking out and shaking his hand, and a self-deprecating comment.
But the fact it made your list suggests it's a pretty sparse list. And no, it wasn't 'bad prep work', his staff doens't need to anticipate his 'stand up' off the cuff comment.
It's just something that's not a big issue. It happens. If the event had been entirely about honoring that person, that would be something else.
He criticized McCain for flip floppiing, not Biden. He did not 'denounce' Biden, he did disagree with him and say he 'should have waited'. Gee, they don't agree on everything.
Biden has especially high bar for not attacking, and gee, they don't agree on everything. I don't agree with Biden on that, but so what? It's not a major issue.
You just had a gaffe, saying Biden said 1929, but he didn't. Already addressed above, he meant radio and said tv, and was referring to the period while the market was crashed.
A lot of 7-11 workers have Indian accents. Oh, the scandal. The question is, was it some sort of subtle racist attack, does he have racist policies? No.
So, he flatters a friend whose supporters they are losing too many of to McCain. What a blunder.
Apparently not in over 20 years, since there are likely people checking closely, and he did admit the mistake that long ago. Wow you got him good.
Oh, I would.
If you had anything substantive I'd like to hear it, but you would actually post things even weaker, and that'd be entertaining.
and I have to do work... damn capitalist pigs are expecting me to EARN my ridiculous corporate salaryI dont post this to change your mind...
If there were more there, I'd change my mind. I've always said Biden is a bit of a 'loose cannon' verbally and that he makes some gaffes.
But I look more at his policies - who he represents, which is more the 'average American'.
most P&N junkies are cemented in their positions. I just point it out for our mutual entertainment
We agree there's too much cement - but there are good and bad reasons for holding a strong opinion. Because it's well-informed is one thing, blind partisanship is another.

Now...if Palin would have said that instead of Biden...80% of the Left here at P&N would have gone bonkers. Am I wrong?
As would have been totally reasonable and rational.
If someone has a lot of expertise or experience in an area and they make a mistake, the mistake is usually ignored because of the large amount of information that shows they do in fact know what they are talking about. If someone has very little expertise or experience in an area they do not get the same pass as the other person because of this lack of counterbalancing information.
This is why McCain can mix up Sunni/Shia all day and pay a relatively small price for it due to his perceived foreign policy strength and if Obama were to make the same mistake he would be hit hard for it. What's the mystery?
So, he mis-spoke and referred to the existing national broadcast medium as "TV," instead of "radio."
As opposed to the rambling biddy who continues to repeat stupid things like, "I said thanks but no thanks to the bridge to nowhere."
Was Biden's gaffe amusing? Yes. Was it relevant? Hardly. :roll:
That isnt how I read it. Call me a drunk if you want. Doesnt change my perception of it. I thought she would go into that interview kinda of bitchy... she jsut got smeared everywhere in her first few days out of the shoot by the MSM... I didnt expect she would bake them cookies. Everytime she said "Charlie," it sounded like a school teacher scolding a child... at least to me.
Not the poinit. Biden is known for his gaffes. Let's all enjoy them
You will ahve to excuse me if I dont respond point by point. I wasnt getting into a debate on his qualifications... merely his lack of verbal discipline as it pertains to my entertainment.
Your post contributes no content. I can't tell if you have reasons for your name calling or if it's just something you picked up by being identified with one yourself. You should put some thought into your post so readers don't get the wrong idea.
This highly insightful question can be applied across many areas. This is the kind of thinking that keeps the mind open and harder to program. I approve of this kind reasoning.
He's not a social liberal, and he's an authoritarian. I don't want to see what he'll do as VP.

And here I always thought Watergate was the name of a hotel/office complex in Washington, D.C.
Good old lupi; always trying to elevate the discussion.Originally posted by: lupi
At least he wasn't drunk this time.
Maybe he should have been.
FWIW; I remember reading about another vice-presidential candidate with a penchant for running his mouth in public, going off-message and committing numerous gaffes on the campaign trail.
Should FDR have dumped Harry Truman?
