Wonkette: Obama Has To Correct Joe Biden, Again, For Saying Something True

[SemiCharmedQuark]

Poor Joe...the truth is always a gaffe in politics I guess.

"Poor Joe Biden has spent his entire term as vice president being privately rebuked and publicly corrected by his boss. Every time Biden gives an interview, Obama comes out a couple days later and says, “I stand behind everything Joe said, except just to clarify, he meant the opposite,” and Biden has to sit in the Naughty Circle for ten minutes.
The latest shameful rebuke came after Joe admitted to George Stephanopoulos — and why is it that George Stephanopoulos, not exactly the hardest journalist for Democrats to get along with, always manages to make these guys say outrageous things? — that the Obama administration had “misread” the economy at the beginning of the year and not understood what a terrible shitshow it was going to be, well into the midterm election season.

“Misread” was obviously the wrong word, because it was accurate. So today, President Obama said that “we had incomplete information.”

Indeed, it is difficult to find any information at all about the economy, anywhere!

Joe Biden has been sent to Bermuda to live with the Uighurs"

3. LOL that's true! I think when people hear that he's going to speak, they write up a story

"Biden Gaffe!!1111" in advance and then just fill in blanks afterwords. No gaffe? Meh, make something up. ZOMG! The United States can't control sovereign nations! How crazy is this Biden fellow?!

4. You know

I think that IS how the media covers Joe. They don't report on gaffes, they listen for anything that can be construed as a gaffe and throw everything else out. The media puts tags on people and those tags are forever.

Yep, we have a "fill in the blanks" media. The Obama administration would do a lot for their credibility and Joe's if they would quit apologizing for perceived mistakes and show more support for the VP. They encourage this kind of irresponsible reporting by validating it.
