If Sarah Palin had said that (Third in a series)

The book of them has grown so thick that Slate has launched a new feature which will catalog the vice president's Bidenisms.

To get things started, Slate's Jeremy Stahl lists some of his favorite Bidenisms, any one of which, had it come from Sarah Palin, would have the Left and their media lapdogs howling. But coming from Biden, Bidenisms are simply ignored, as if they never happened. Here are a few from the list:

"I exaggerate when I'm angry, but I've never gone around telling people things that aren't true about me." — Responding in the New York Times to uproar over his telling a campaign event questioner that he was smarter than said voter (around that time he released a statement admitting much of what he had said about his academic record was not true), Sept. 21, 1987

[...]

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" — Revising history slightly in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric, Sept. 22, 2008

[...]

"You know, I'm embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number? I should have it in front of me and I don't." — Failing to remember name of the Web site Recovery.gov in an interview with CBS's Maggie Rodriguez to promote the Web site Recovery.gov, Feb. 25, 2009

[...]

"The truth is, we and everyone else misread the economy." — Contradicting own administration's economic message in an interview with ABC's This Week, July 5, 2009

[...]

"They have a shrinking population base, they have a withering economy, they have a banking sector and structure that is not likely to be able to withstand the next 15 years. They're in a situation where the world is changing before them and they're clinging to something in the past that is not sustainable." — Forgetting about the reset button with Russia in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, July 25, 2009

[...]

"All you have to do is go down Union Street with me in Wilmington or go to Katie's Restaurant or walk into Home Depot with me, where I spend a lot of time." — Referring to one of his favorite hangouts, along with a restaurant that had been closed for more than a decade, during the 2008 vice presidential debate, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 2, 2008

These pearls of wisdom all come from the man who is just a heartbeat away from the Oval Office. Yet the same moonbats who give this clown a pass think Sarah Palin isn't as smart as they are.
