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.

After suggesting that the Giants were heading to the Super Bowl, Biden quickly recognized the gaffe and and explained he was accustomed to thinking in terms of the San Francisco Giants and their baseball wins. His next reference was to the “49ers on their way” to the Big Game.

I could spend my life dedicated to trying, and would still come up short of the level of douchebaggery that Joe has attained.

The bar, he keeps a raising !

If BUSH had said this, how many times would they play it?

10 or 100,000 times?

Let’s see how much play it gets.

He does this on purpose. It’s the only way Vice-President Non-Entity can make the news.

Thanks Justaham.
...and explained he was accustomed to thinking in terms of the San Francisco Giants and their baseball wins.
That was Biden's 'oops' moment. Had it been Dan Quayle, every latenight a-hole would harp on it for months, and how he should be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
