Audacity of Truth
Gaffetastic:
Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed SF when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.” - SF Chronicle, 1-18-12
Another “What if Bush had said that?” moment
Via Fox News:
Vice President Joe Biden, tasked with overseeing the $787 billion stimulus package, has been having a little trouble with his “numbers.”
During an interview on CBS’ “Early Show” on Wednesday, Biden told viewers to check out a government-run Web site tracking stimulus spending, but admitted he was embarrassed because he couldn’t remember the site’s “number.”
“You know, I’m embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?” he asked an aide standing out of view. “I should have it in front of me and I don’t. I’m actually embarrassed.”
Biden, who seemed to indicate that he thought the Internet worked like a giant telephone, sounded an unusually Luddite note inside an administration often heralded for its mastery of the Web.
Web sites, as much of the “Early Show” audience may have been aware, are generally referred to by their URLs or addresses. The one Biden was searching for was Recovery.gov, which he announced moments later when reminded of the proper address.
[...]
But this wasn’t even Biden’s first error involving the name of the Web site. During a nationally televised address to the U.S. Conference of Mayors on Feb. 20, he directed the assembled leaders to visit the stimulus site — but sent them to the wrong one.
“We’ve already set up a Web site, Recovery.com, which will show where and how the money is being spent,” he said, apparently unaware that the government has its own domain. Before a government tweak last Friday, Recovery.com directed Web users to a commercial research company.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is America’s “stimulus czar.”

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Biden serves one purpose in this administration: to make Obama look competent and serious by comparison.
Never mind ‘what if Bush said this’ – how often do you think it would be replayed if Sarah Palin said anything registering close to this on the world-class-stupid scale?
Yes, speaking of Gov. Sarah Palin, have you heard about the Media Malpractice documentary by John Ziegler?

Just another case of knuckledraggers are stupid but liberal Democrats are only human and can make minor mistakes.
Is there a donk yet who can spell “potatoes”? Or (as if there is a difference) anyone in the MSM?
Weren’t some people on McCain’s case because he didn’t use email? Called him an old man and out of touch if I recall. Funny, but I didn’t hear an apology when it came out that the man can’t type due to the torture he endured while in the Hanoi Hilton. At least McCain knew there isn’t a number to dial.
Remember how the left made fun of a Republican (I think it was Stevens) for trying to explain how he thought the internet worked? He said it was like a series of tubes or something, and they made fun of him mercilessly. Biden will get a free pass on this, just like he did when he called Obama “clean and articulate” and just like he did when he said you couldn’t go into a 7-11 without speaking with an Indian (nation) accent. If a Republican had said that, they’d crucify him.
What if Dan Quayle or Sarah Palin had said that? Sheesh.
