If you've ever read the banner for my blog, you know I focus on three things: politics, entertainment, and politics as entertainment.
If Sarah Palin makes a misstep tonight during the Vice Presidential Debate, its quite possible you'll see it everywhere tomorrow... and then followed up by a Tina Fey comedy smorgasbord on Saturday Night Live.
That being said, Joe Biden has been getting little play for his mistakes on the campaign trail. The one garnering the most attention occured during a recent interview with Katie Couric about the Wall Street bailout, when he said "when the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, princes of greed, he said look, here's what happened." Two problems... Roosevelt wasn't President when the market crashed in the 20's and TV didn't exist.
The lack of attention prompted the Republican National Committee to launch "The Joe Biden Gaffe Clock [1]." The timeline of errors, linked to youtube videos, informs viewers to "check back often, this guy is keeping us busy."
It's a little nitpicky, but its still good clean fun. Enjoy the link.
