Joe’s Foot/Mouth Problem * Open Thread [Video Update]

By SusanUnPC on October 3, 2008 at 11:30 AM in Joe Biden, Sarah Palin

Update: I’m adding Paul’s video clip of Frank Luntz’s “focus group” results, aired last night on Fox News following the Biden/Palin debate. (Thanks, Paul. View more of Paul’s videos here.) The voters’ reactions are fascinating, and Luntz makes an important prediction at the end of the video:

Original post: This is a riot. You’ll remember that, last night, Joe said this:

“Can I respond? Look, 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 and you ask anybody in there whether or not the economic and foreign policy of this administration has made them better off in the last eight years.” — Joe Biden

A Delaware newspaper blogger responded to Joe’s response.

Essentially, the headliner is this:

Joe Biden Cites Delaware Restaurant
Closed For Many Years

Here’s the full quote:

During the debate, Joe Biden gave several Delaware shout-outs, including Wilmington’s Union Street… Maybe, I heard this wrong, or misunderstood, but I think he mentioned Katie’s restaurant…… Wilmington used to have a Katie’s restaurant – way back in the day – and it was in Little Italy, as is Union Street, but I’m almost positive Katie’s wasn’t on Union Street. And it hasn’t been Katie’s in, well, years. Maybe he said Kozy’s – as in Kozy Korner?
