Ok, I have 2 biggies for you today!
As you have probably noticed, I run a bit behind on my news. Basically I sit down and right when I have the urge. And, sometimes that means I have plenty of posts built up going into the next week and others, I have to just get it and go as the days progress. And, of course, when I write a lot and post-date them, I sometimes forget how far out I have written and I have to go back and then I realize, oops, I’m behind.
So, here’s my two big scoops for today.
1. First of all, I did not hear either of these as they happened live. I had the privilege of hindsight and sometimes, hindsight is pretty doggone funny. My first victim today is Joe Biden. Yes, that’s our Vice President was in a state of seriously showing his age as he was on the CBS Early Show (wait, maybe it was the fact that it was so early, eh…probably not, old people like to get up early I think). Anyway, he was on the Early Show, have I mentioned that?
Biden was attempting to send the viewers to a site where they could view the stimulus spending, but realized he didn’t know the website address “recovery.org” but Biden, who, you have to admit is not of the technological age was embarrassed because he couldn’t remember the site’s "number."
Here’s the clip:
And what you are listening for is for VP Biden to say:
"You know, I’m embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number?" he asked an aide standing out of view. "I should have it in front of me and I don’t. I’m actually embarrassed."
Now, onward, the number mouthy issue of the week came when Bobby Jindal who is the Governor of Louisiania and he spoke after President Obama. This was really boring, boring boring boring. However, as they were introducing him, the backstage folks apparently forgot that they were wearing mic’s because Chris Matthews is heard in the background saying, “Oh God!”
