Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed San Francisco when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.”

Biden spoke at a closed event in the city’s financial District at the Bently Reserve when he made the gaffe, according to a White House pool report released today. The comment by Biden drew immediate “good-natured” boos from the crowd, according to the report by Josh Richman of the Oakland Tribune, who was the only local print reporter allowed to cover the event.

He probably thought that Barry Bonds was still the quarterback for the SF Giants and was puzzled why he was booed.

Equally dumb and in the crowd reporter to cite Joe “Gaffe” Biden for only a single flub. Gee, you would have to limit the time frame to no more than an hour to pass the laugh test.

I think she would keeps the dems together and bring in some who are disillusioned with OB. Sets her up for 2016 run.

In my fantasy world, I’d be a high school math teacher tomorrow, and I’d ask my students to calculate the number of ways that somebody could confuse a city’s team with their opponent from another sport, among the MLB / NFL / NBA / NHL teams.

Extra credit for additionally noting Tampa Bay Buccaneers / Pitsburgh Pirates confusion, and Nets / Jets / Mets mismatches.

Al Gore told a Chicago audience “How about those Bulls. That Michael Jackson sure is something”

If a Republican had said this it would be on every tv station and in the front pages of every newspaper.

That being said, Biden, for the first time in his life is right.
