ZOMG! FDR wasn't on TV when the stock market crashed!!!

I mean come on. Seriously?

Biden can't catch a break and the wingnuts are howling.

1. Was he captured on film? I know he was on the radio, just wondering
if there was also film of him making his remarks that have been shown later on TV (after it was invented). It took my brain a few seconds to process that too, so I'm wondering if that was what Biden was thinking.

4. Oh he was definitely on TV in the latter part of his Presidency...
I think Biden simply was referring to FDR's Fireside Chats and said television instead of radio. Big whoop. The market crashed several times in the 30s and was at its lowest point whenever he took office in 1932.

This is not nearly as egregious as Palin's inability to come up with a SINGLE SCOTUS decision other than Roe v Wade. These people ae getting so desperate it's sickening.

2. they have to be fair now
Biden forgetting that FDR was on radio as opposed to TV is just as important as Sarah Palin not knowing a supreme court case beyond Roe v Wade, or repeatedly lying about the Bridge to Nowhere, or stonewalling on Troopergate despite promising to cooperate.

3. Exactly!
They're like starving little rats fighting over the tiniest little scraps of food that drop through the sewer grate.
