Since the VP Debate will be Thursday night, I thought I would remind everyone of Joe Biden's gaffes. There is no doubt that any misstep by Sarah Palin will make the NYT's front page, probably the whole front page with an article called "Moose Killer Fails to Skin Biden. Time and Newsweek will probably feature her on their front pages with titles such as "Bimbo Palin Flops in Debate", or "Palin Beauty Queen Stumbles on Runway".
On the front cover of People Magazine a featured Palin will be shown in her bathing suit stating she should go back to beauty shows, but, oops, can't do that now, she's had five children and one a retard.........as the article continues with more smears of Palin.
So, let's go down the list of Joe Biden's gaffes which are equally if not worse than anything Sarah Palin has ever said. But if Joe makes a gaffe on Thursday night you won't hear about it except by the right wing media. It will be completely ignored by the MSM.
Biden Gaffes:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”
“you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”
Joe Biden told CBS he thought an Obama campaign ad mocking John McCain as a computer illiterate was “terrible.”
Biden spoke of President Franklin Roosevelt’s having gone on television after the stock market crash of 1929. But Roosevelt was not president in 1929, and television was not present.
Biden also said neither he nor Obama supports clean coal technology in America. But Obama does support clean coal.
Hillary Clinton's a qualified or more qualified than I am to be the vice president of the United States of America. Let's get that straight. She's a truly close personal friend. She is qualified to be president of the United States of America, she's easily qualified to be vice president of the United States of America, and, quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me, but she's first rate.
He encouraged wheelchair-bound Missouri State Senator Chuck Graham to stand up at a campaign rally.
China's building two every week, two dirty coal plants. And it's polluting the United States! It's causing people to die!
If you want to know where Al-Qaeda lives, you want to know where Bin Laden is, come back to Afghanistan with me. Come back to the area where my helicopter was forced down, a three-star general and three United States senators at 10,500 feet in the middle of those mountains. I can tell you where they are.
(The truth was they were forced down by a snowstorm)
"Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, don't buy that malarkey. If he tries to fool with my Beretta, he's got a problem."
Biden said that the wealthy would pay higher taxes if if he and Obama won the White House but said that doing so would be "patriotic." "Time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."
But never mind, Joe Biden is one of the Washington insider "good ole boys" and anything he says is just flipped off as "oh, that's just our good ole Joe and he is such a likable guy" and "you just gotta laugh, that Joe can be so funny".
Sexism rears its' ugly head once again as it did for Hillary. Only Chris Matthews cannot claim that Palin got to run because her husband hid Monica Lewinsky under the Oval office table for certain Billy treats.
I can hear Chris Matthews saying something like this however, "Blah, who wants a vice president, a woman, who shoots moose, skins them and eats them. It sends shivers down my spine".
