Because you're a political hack. It's ok if your side says something stupid, or does something criminal. If the other side does the same thing, it's a scandal. Not only are you stupid, you're a hypocrite.Yup.
Did you watch the video of the Quayle incident? He had the answer key from the teacher, which said the correct spelling was "potatoe". Does he diss the teacher? Is he supposed to correct her in front of her students and TV cameras? His problem was that he was too young. He's 10 times smarter than Biden.
No, I did not, and would not vote for him. But he got a bad shake from the press on that one, and handled it with class. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

Some people are apologists for ANYTHING someone on their "team" says or does, no matter how stupid.
Sure, Quayle got roasted for the "potatoe" incident, but silly ol' Joe got a pass from the media on this epic fail:

What a stunning display of raw ignorance. Could Quayle have topped that? Originally Posted by Ex-CEO

That wasn't simply a gaffe -- it was "being fucking stupid," as you put it.If you honestly think he doesn't know when the market crashed, we don't have anything to talk about. Go give a thousand interviews and don't make any mistakes, then come talk to me.
Speaking in "generalities?" Look at the video. He said, quite clearly, that "Franklin Roosevelt" went on TV(!) to explain things after the stock market crashed in 1929.
Sorry, that's a bit more than a gaffe. The guy's a fucking ignoramus who probably made a habit of sleeping through many of his classes when he was a student (like a lot of people who post frequently in this forum).
(In other words, he's in Sarah Palin territory, but the media -- and you progressives -- give him a pass.) Originally Posted by Ex-CEO

You are kidding, right? You need to brush up on your reading comprehension.Again, if you honestly think he doesn't know who the president was when the market crashed, you're a fucking moron. Roosevelt led us out of the Depression. It was obvious he was referring to that. You don't like him, so you hear what you want to hear. Did he misspeak? Yes. So what?
Let's try this again:
"He said, quite clearly, that "Franklin Roosevelt" went on TV(!) to explain things after the stock market crashed in 1929".
Does it help to make it big like Big Chief tablets? You and Appendage are in a photo finish!!!!!! Originally Posted by LexusLover

You must like ole Joe because he shows that it's possible for someone with serious head trauma to "achieve" a higher position in life. Some of that "Hope and Change" you are always wanting woomby !
