Yes, it's not like you have any access to any search engines or reference sources on the internet, just toss some half-factoid out there like you know something.

So not knowing historical facts is better than using poor grammar??

Well, you do have a point:

PPJ - granted there is a lot of dissemination from the leftists here, but aren't you twisting the facts somewhat in terms of Byrd using the "n" word? I watched the interview (both parts) and he doesn't use it except in a rerun clip from the incident in 2001. Ergo, he only made that mistake once (publicly).

But you can defend Biden all you want.

Well, that's sure generous of you. You couldn't really stop me in the first place if I wanted too, but that aside,

Gersh, PPJ, I didn't say that Biden had any excuse for his error in American history, could you possibly cite where I did so in this thread or elsewhere on Talkleft.com?  Like you, I'm very proud of my reputation for accuracy, and unlike the folks who use to run the telecom industries, I realize the need for constructive criticism.

I did find this statement in a NYT blog:

Mr. Biden has more than his share of gaffes, but they are of the sort that most politicians make at some time. Mr. Biden has shown in decades of public life, and countless interviews, press conferences, and unscripted public statements, a depth of understanding of foreign and domestic issues. That is something Gov. Palin has yet to demonstrate.

I would be curious as to what you think the consequences of such an earth-shattering mistake in stating the facts, certainly, we can't get the CIA involved like the last time a member of the executive branch didn't get their facts straight:

A line in President Bush's State of the Union address alleging that Iraq was trying to buy uranium in Africa should never have been included in the speech, CIA Director George Tenet said Friday.

In a statement released Friday evening, Tenet said that the CIA had seen and approved the speech before it was delivered, and he took responsibility for the mistake.

"The president had every reason to believe that the text presented to him was sound. These 16 words should never have been included in the text written for the president," he said.

It will keep you busy.

Yes, it took me about 3 minutes to compose this post. I was really busy.  I was so busy.............

And now he is able to do even more than a senator can do because he's the president, elected by a large margin in both popular and electoral votes, and qualified because he is a natural born citizen over 35 years of age.

I see you're having a hard time dealing with that.

And to save PPJ the bother, I'll preemptively give him what his latest requests to moi have been asking on a progressive scale so that he doesn't have to reply to "his personal troll", as PPJ cliche #74 goes:

a 30,000 word post about something

a 40,000 word post about something

Speaking for me only, I'd be very, very happy if the same person who couldn't name a magazine or newspaper she read because she was asked the question by that surprise attack liberal Katie Couric tries for the 2012 Presidential race, and how she reacts to the inevitable unscripted questions that come her way.

The more relevant quote is from the Catholic mystic Teresa of Avila:

There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
