"Daddy, who is that man and what did he do with President Hoover?"
That's the question
Jesse Walker, at Reason.com thinks someone might have asked if Senator 'Slow' Joe Biden's take on Depression era history actually reflected ... you know ... history. Here's what 'Slow' Joe uttered to Katie Couric:
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."
Needless to say, Katie Couric didn't refute 'Slow' J's take since she, as hard as it may seem possible for someone in her position, probably knows less about history than the Senator from Delaware.
Imagine if Senator John McCain or Gov. Sarah Palin had uttered this stupidity.
