Who Is the Bigger Moron, Joe Biden or Katie Couric?

In honor of the Vice Presidential debates tonight, I thought I’d post the clip of VP-hopeful Joe Biden claiming FDR got on television to address the nation when the stock market crashed. Only problem is, who was President in 1929 when the crash occurred? HERBERT HOOVER. And if that isn’t bad enough, when did the TV appear? Not for another 10 YEARS. Moron Points for Biden: 2

The best part is, Biden is talking about how important it is that a leader to be able to “instill confidence and demonstrate that he or she knows what they’re talking about.” I think he just clearly demonstrated that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Moron Points Biden: 3

Here’s my question: HOW did Couric not correct him? My conclusion: she wasn’t even aware of the errors! When I think of FDR, I think of his “Fireside Chats,” which were RADIO addresses. If Couric had half a brain she’d have remembered those too (really, you’d expect a journalist to know a little communications history!) Moron Points Couric: 1.

Yep, looks like Biden is the Ultimate Moron in this scenario, beating out Katie Couric by 2 Moron Points.

If Sarah Palin made a slip like that, don’t you think it would’ve been all over every news network in the nation? But there’s no liberal media bias in this country…
