Found today on the American Pundit:
During his interview with Katie Couric on CBS News, Joe Biden (AKA Gaffemaster) had this to say:
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the princes of greed. He said, ‘look, here’s what happened.’”
First of all, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected 1932 — the market crashed in 1929. Second of all, Philo Farnsworth created the first working television in 1928. Again, the market crashed in 1929. FDR got on a device nobody had at a time when he wasn’t president? Joe, get a history book. Good Lord.
Perhaps Harvard might ditch any ideas of giving Joe Biden an honorary degree.

Funny thing is I watched FDR give his famous “nothing to fear” speech on TV. I’m sure you have as well – right?
Is that the best you Repubs can come up with???

A) Last time I checked I am still a registered Democrat.
B) I don’t apologize for pointing out the facts about Joe Biden. He said what he said about FDR. It was dumb and that’s a fact. He also said during the primaries that he “got shot at” in Iraq, which was a flat out lie. That is also a fact. He had to drop out of his 1988 presidential campaign for lying and plagiarizing. That, too, is a fact.
C) I’ll just mention one more thing about Biden. He got about 9,000 votes in the Democratic primaries, which ought to tell you what his own party thinks of him and his “readiness to be president.” That’s a fact, James Brown.
Did I say enough now?

I can tell that this is not the first time you mention the topic. Why have you chosen it again?
