More nonsense from slow Joe Biden.

Sen. Joe Biden is proving to be a disastrous pick - threatening to bring down the Democratic ticket. The vice presidential candidate said this week that national leaders should follow the example of President Franklin Roosevelt's response to a financial crisis.

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened,' " Mr. Biden told "CBS Evening News."

But Herbert Hoover, not Roosevelt, was president when the stock market crashed in 1929 - a fact commonly known to many high-school students (but apparently not to Mr. Biden). Moreover, television was barely in existence in those days. Radio was the mass medium of the time.

This is not simply a case of Mr. Biden being historically illiterate. It goes to the core of his candidacy's problem: He is a buffoon and a bumbler. His list of gaffes is becoming legendary. He recently said Sen. Hillary Clinton is "more qualified than I am to be vice president." In Missouri, he told a paraplegic state official to stand up to be recognized. He has referred to his wife, a college professor, as "drop-dead gorgeous," but who problematically has a doctorate. Last year, he described Sen. Barack Obama as clean, bright and articulate. He once said an Indian accent is needed to enter a Dunkin' Donuts or 7-Eleven in Delaware.
