Joe Biden’s “potatoe” moment


Why aren't we hearing more about this one?

So I just read an account of Joe Biden making another one of his classic gaffes.

To paraphrase, Biden said the following:

Biden : “Barack Obama knows what is important in this election, and its a 3-letter word — jobs. J – O – B – S.”

Now is this important with all the other issues swirling in this election? Of course not.

However, when Biden says this, it’s just “Joe being Joe” and it is roundly ignored and lightly reported.

If Palin says this, SNL is mocking it last night (in front of Palin herself to boot), adding to the Democratic mythos that she is an ignorant country bumpkin.

If McCain says this, we would be seeing condescending reports saying he had a “senior moment”, and this is more proof that he’s becoming more and more erratic. (why don’t they just call him a senile old man and be done with it?)

When Dan Qualye made a mistake while visiting a school spelling bee years ago in correcting a young boy to spell potato as “potatoe” he was mercilessly blasted for being an idiot and it still follows him around today.

Wonder why that is?

VOTE DEMOCRAT
Voting Democrat Today Makes So Much Sense that the Intellect, the Experience, the Deaf, the Dumb and the Blind can see it.
THE UNQUALIFICATIONS OF SARAH PALIN AND THE AUDACITY TO THINK SHE CAN “PASS” GO AS VP ALONG WITH AN UNSTABLE OLD MAN IS A JOKE.
God knows how she ever became governor of anything thing or any state. This country needs a good dose of medication, because it is sick to the core.

SARAH PALIN IS TOTALLY QUALIFIED AS A PERSONALITY OF SNL WHERE REVIEWS RAVE AND HIGH RATINGS OF HER TALENT AS A NO-BRAINER IS EASILY FORGOTTEN AND ACCEPTED.

  1. Palin does not have the qualifications or experience on the nation’s domestics or foreign policies.
  2. She is an ineffective communicator that depends on one-line sentences to express her disdains as she attacks her highly qualified educated and experience opponents’ which serves to obscure her inabilities; as if the Americans are stupid
  3. She is not a match for any of the opposing candidates that are qualified educated and experience.
  4. She has unrealistic expectation of what a VP’s role is and what her job description would have been, if she were qualified.
  5. She is unprepared and assuming in political affairs of the USA that will cause war with other countries and isolate us more than we already are.
  6. She maintains a tunnel vision that attacks her opponent, because of her inabilities to defend the national and foreign issues, as if the US Citizens are idiots.
  7. she maintains a don’t care attitude in contributing pertinent required challenges that is affecting and effecting the citizens of these United States by attacking her opponents and trying to side-track the American public, as if Americans’ are idiots and stupid.

McCain could not have chosen a more total fiasco of a debutant in Sarah Palin, who has so far disgraced this country in her debate with Biden, by refusing to answer pertinent questions relative to the lives of citizens of the United State. All the world could see that her lack of experience came through in a more concrete and substantial analysis of her VP qualifications by avoiding the answers. McCain senility as kicked in months ago, where good jokes as always surfaced. McCain is not a stable man, so far his outburst is safely guarded, God forbid if he were to be president.
McCain/ Palin perpetuate and infuse hate, prejudice, bigotry and a segregationist’s society. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS TRICKLING DOWN WEALTH OR GROWTH FOR ANY CITIZEN IN ANY COUNTRY. THE OUTCOME OF WORK AS ALWAYS BEEN FROM BOTTOM TO TOP – NOT TOP TO BOTTOM. (NOTHING GROWS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM)
OBAMA – BIDEN=08

And up the prozac. You could use it. You do people like me no credit, and I’m actually voting for Obama.
