He has class and we could all learn from him.

“Roger, that you would acknowledge that Biden’s use of “Bosniak” is not a gaffe after all is very generous of you.”

jillbryant: From Jim Geraghty at National Review:
IRAQ-AFGHANISTAN SPENDING: Biden said that the U.S. spends more in Iraq in one month than it has in Afghanistan in six or seven years.

That figure is off by 2000 percent.

And from the Western Standard (Canada):
According to the Congressional Research Service, spending on the war in Afghanistan since 2001 has been $172 Billion. Spending in Iraq is, as the Democrats repeatedly mention, a little under $10 Billion a month.

In other words, Biden’s number is off by, oh, something like 2000%.

Thanks, Paul, but that’s not particularly generous, only common sense. When you make a mistake, admit it. If Dan Rather had done that, he’d still be anchorman.

No doubt you’re taking your cue from all those in the media who acknowledged that it was no gaffe for Sarah Palin to ask “In what respect?” when asked about the Bush Doctrine.

After all, since it didn’t occur to them that the Bush Doctrine has many facets and many meanings, what else could they do and still maintain their integrity?

Oh yeah, Herb, the guy from those old Burger King commercials. And just as successful in political analysis as he was selling whoppers. Well, have it your way.

Doh! That’s what you get for letting Glenn Reynolds do your thinking for you.

“Let’s not forget, this is the same Biden who condescendingly reiterated that more money is spent in Iraq in one month than has been spent in 6-1/2 years in Afghanistan. What? Only off by 2000%, Joe.”
I think he said more money was spent on combat in Iraq than building in Afghanistan but – I can’t figure out how much you are saying it is…What is the figure he is off by 2000%?

Biden has been in Senate for 32 years. His mistakes are more than gaffes, they are glaring problems. At this point in his career Biden is incapable of learning. Palin’s mistakes are correctable, because she can be educated. She knows she makes mistakes and is willing to learn. Biden’s arrogance and experience prevent him from learning. In other words, the Biden of last night is as good as it gets.

Because Biden is uneducable, Palin is actually the safer choice.

Biden blathers so much that even by accident, something has to be correct now and then.

Okay, he got one right. But are there any other instances Biden referring to “Bosniaks”?

Let’s not forget, this is the same Biden who condescendingly reiterated that more money is spent in Iraq in one month than has been spent in 6-1/2 years in Afghanistan. What? Only off by 2000%, Joe.

He’s so often wrong without knowing it that no doubt he was right without knowing it either.
