Joe Biden, the new Dan Quayle

Filed under: Bullsh*t, Politics — mrznutz @ 2:29 pm

Biden: “When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on television…”) FDR was not in office at the time of the 1929 crash and his “fireside chats” were on the radio. (Katie Couric completely ignored this so either she’s a dumb ass or didnt want to draw attention to Biden’s inaccuracy)

Biden: “It’s the Patriotic thing to do (paying higher taxes)”

Biden: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,”

Biden: You don’t know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state is the eighth largest black population in the country. My state is anything from a northeast liberal state,”

Biden:”you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

Biden: tells wheelchair bound Sen. Chuck Graham to “stand up” “Chuck, stand up, Chuck, let ‘em see you. Oh, God love you, what am I talking about?”

Let’s revisit some of Dan Quayle’s more memorable quotes:

“We don’t want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward”

“The future will be better tomorrow”

“For NASA, space is still a high priority”

“I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix”

and the most famous of them all…the misspelling of potato

Dan Quayle was ridiculed by the media and public yet we hear nothing about Biden’s blunders.  Some of the above statements aren’t even blunders but sound down right racist to me. 

People make mistakes and candidates are no different but if you’re going to criticize then make sure you criticize fairly and equally.
