From my kids accomplishments, to my heretical perspective of the world

Oops…

Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart asked why they won’t let Sarah Palin talk with the press? What could a Vice Presidential candidate possibly say that could hurt them?

Then he cut to Joe Biden telling about how Franklin Roosevelt got on television after the stock market crash to calm the nation.

Ouch! Two mistakes in one statement. Roosevelt wasn’t in office when the stock market crashed, and there was really no television until well after he was gone.

But I bet Sarah could match that if they would give her a chance.

    We’ll find out next week.

    Don’t forget the Biden comment about how the 7-11s are all owned by Indians. In fact I think he’s got a ton of them.

    Biden is famous for speaking without thinking, and ending up with his foot in his mouth.

    Regarding the Vice debate next week, McCain has suggested that the presidential candidates use that time slot instead, delaying this Friday’s debate until then. It sounds to me like an attempt to continue hiding Palin from the press and the world, so she can continue to just speak from a script.
