he said it
bear with me, because i'm transcribing a spoken statement verbatim, (from tonight's cbs evening news, and, please, don't ask me why i was watching), and it's somewhat hard to follow on a grammatical level, let alone on a sensible level, but just follow along as best you can...
"part of what a leader does, is to instill confidence; is demonstrate that he or she knows what they're talking about, and communicates to people--'if you listen to me, and follow what i'm suggesting, we can fix this'--and when the stock market crashed, franklin roosevelt got on television..."
yep, that's right, mr. joe biden, son of a coalminer, (oh, wait, that was the speech he plaigiarized from that english dude), i mean, son of a car salesman, (you know you can't make this stuff up), wants us to think that franklin roosevelt was talking on tv about the crash all the way back in 1929--even though fdr wasn't sworn in as president until 1933, not to mention the fact that the first commercially licensed tv stations didn't appear until after 1941... (i looked it up).
don't get me wrong, i believe both presidential candidates to be impressive and honorable men. but these veep picks... they are just so incredibly bad that only their own words can do justice to 'em.
how 'bout them dinosaurs, sarah?

Yup, I'm gonna say it. Had Obama or Palin said something that idiotic, the fallout would've been much worse. Biden is basically getting a free pass on this.
Why? Well, I'll point to the 2000-lb. elephant in the room on this one..
