3/17/10: Biden's St. Patrick's Day Gaffe
An embarrassing gaffe, courtesy of Joe Biden:
Vice President Biden added to his lengthy list of gaffes Wednesday when he took a moment to honor the memory of the Irish prime minister’s mother — a woman who’s very much alive.
“God rest her soul,” Biden said as he introduced Brian Cowen and President Obama at a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House Wednesday. …
“Wait … your mom’s still, your mom is still alive. It was your Dad (who) passed. God bless her soul. I gotta get this straight,” Biden said.
The mainstream media is painting this as a gaffe that could only come from Joe Biden. Uh, not really... Remember it was exactly one year ago when Obama got mixed up on the teleprompter and thanked himself instead of the Irish Prime Minister during a St. Patrick's Day function at the White House. At least Biden wasn't reading from a teleprompter!
