Joe Biden hasn't made many public statements lately, but he has found time for a couple of small gaffes:
In the press conference where Hillary Clinton was announced for Secretary of State, he twice referred to Obama as "President" rather than "President Elect." He seemed to catch himself because later in his statement he said "President Elect" rather pointedly.
Then tonight in the energy/environment press conference he referred to Al Gore as "President Gore."
These are both pretty minor. Nothing compared to calling Obama "clean and articulate" or telling a man in a wheelchair to stand up. Still, I hope Biden will continue to do his part to keep these press conferences entertaining.
(by the way, the video of Biden telling the guy in the wheelchair to stand up is hilarious. "Oh! God love ya, what am I talking about?")
i loved him referring to "President Gore" today, particularly on the heels of him ripping the bush administration a new one over their environment and energy policies.
i can just envision bill clinton either cursing his name or laughing.
i'm a biden fan.
Me too! I was disappointed that near the end of the campaign, when we started to get in on candidate conference calls, we never got one with Biden. I had the opportunity to hear one with Jill Biden but it was Joe that I wanted to hear.
Did you see that "Biden debate prep" slide show thing that Georg linked to during the campaign? That was hilarious.
i missed that - i'll have to go find it.
