It works both ways. 💃

Definitely true, but after 8 years of Bushisms and what seems like an empty skull on Palin, the Right has more to answer for (lately).
You go both ways.

Bushism? I thought the Dems were in charge of the congress. 😉
Surely you've heard one of the many silly Bush quotes?
The Dems have only been in charge of Congress for two of the eight years that Bush has been in office, he had a Rep-run Congress for six years, skippy. 6 YEARS.

The latest thing I heard was that Roosevelt got on TV after the Stock Market crash of the 20's, and I don't think that was Bush. 😆

I didn't avoid anything. I don't care. My point is both left and right are to blame. If the dems can't get anything done in two years, they should be fired.

Yeah you did.
I already addressed it, page 79 of this thread:

Yes, that was dumb, he should have done his historical research beforehand, as Inimalist pointed out, the point of his message was valid.

So, do you think this statement is correct?
"I actually appreciate when the Right makes a huge deal out of honest stupid mistakes from the Left runners, it makes it all that much sweeter when they try to play off the extreme flops of their people."
It suggests that the left is not guilty of the same thing. My point is that you can change out the word right and replace it with left and it is also correct.
Which I agreed too (this same page), yet made an obvious point that the Right has had more "gaffes" than the Left lately, which then you brought of the Dems being in control of congress as a retort, which made me point that Dems had only had control for 2 years in the last 8, which caused you to avoid and make a strawman towards me about Biden.
(or see Bardock's post above)

😆 You did not agree. You got all defensive, and what does "This person is on your Ignore List. To view this post click [here]" have to do with anything?

Well he not only gaffes but he apparently plagiarized a couple of speeches here and there back in the day.
Originally posted by StrangeloveOf the two accounts of the 1987 situation; the former seems more accurate. There was an interesting article in Slate about "Biden's creepy plagiarism."
Not true. He did use a speech by a British Labour politician back in 1988, and he cited the source nearly every time. It's just that the one time he didn't, he was being filmed. That's not plagiarism, that's an honest mistake.
The latter explanation or rather excuse frankly requires one to be incredibly credulous. It's also contradicted by the account from Maureen Dowd the NYTimes' columnist who broke the story in 1987. At some point he did attribute it to Kinnock and at some point he stopped attributing it, however I very much doubt that the one time he was on camera was the only time it wasn't attributed. He apparently also lifted passages uncredited from RFK and JFK; and plagiarized a full five pages of an article in law school.
However while the plagiarism itself was an issue, the manner of the plagiarism was apparently what made it particularly jarring; as Biden didn't just plagiarize words from Kinnock; but rather Kinnock's biography.
Emphasis should be on "was" as this was over 20 years ago - whether it should still reflect on his character or not is purely at one's own discretion.
