Biden: Gaffes? What Gaffes?
This reminds me of some hilarious vandalism I once saw in a museum where the vandal changed a quote attributed to George Custer to “Indians? What Indians?”
ABC News’ Matt Jaffe reports: On Election Eve, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said that in the past two and a half months since Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., selected him as running mate, he has been “value-added” to the Democratic ticket and never made any “big gaffes.”
“I think we’ve run a really good campaign,” Biden said today. “And for all the stuff about gaffes, I don’t think there have been any real gaffes. I mean, I don’t see anything in your polling data demonstrating any of that stuff you guys love to write about.”
“I never make any big, big gaffes,” he added. “I mean, you guys love saying that about me, but I tell you what, just look at the numbers. I don’t have any problem with what I’ve said and there’s nothing I’ve said that I would back off of.”
Setting aside for the moment the hilarious notion of Biden thinking he’s never said anything really stupid that he probably shouldn’t have said, I wonder if Biden is sticking to his guns on this comment about Obama:
I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the-job training.
I’m guessing he wouldn’t, but that’s Biden for you. Only Joe Biden could put his foot in his mouth while talking about how he never puts his foot in his mouth.
