This is what happens when pundits have to fill time

By GottaLaff

Every chance he gets, David Shuster has been repeating how "weird" things were today at the Obama/Biden event today in Springfield. He has repeatedly gone on at length about every gaffe that was made: The "next president" remark, the "Barack America" line, Biden calling his wife "drop dead gorgeous", and Obama imitating the stutter when referring to Biden's boyhood nickname, "B-B-Biden". (I'm not entirely sure how else he could have gotten the point across.)

He ended with:

David Shuster (with a grimace): "It was... strange."

Craig Crawford: But the visuals were great. They looked good.

And isn't that all that counts?

I'm not sure why verbal flubs are the focal point here. We all trip over our words. It isn't as if Joe Biden actually thinks Barack's last name is America, or that Obama believes that Biden is at the top of the ticket.

And what is wrong with calling his wife gorgeous? What am I missing here? How about discussing the substance of the speeches instead of the quirks?

Your turn.
