    "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.'" -Joe Biden,
    apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market
    crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at
    that time.

    the funny thing is that these guys are faulted for saying these things when it really mostly comes down to their PR and speech writer people not knowing history and/or not fact checking the statements before they start training the politician on saying it...

    the there're those that go off-script all the time and continually eat their feet with no backup/patsy to fault for feeding them the wrong information ;)

    Very good point!

    Yes, and I believe the two individuals being discussed in this
    thread are perfect examples of that... ;-)

    Well, I believe you, but not sure why you posted it.

    Doesn't have any relevance to anything I've posted here, and you
    didn't bother to quote anything.
