President Biden made a speech to the NAACP Monday, which the Democrat media seem to think is Holy Writ. They seem to have missed a few things in it:

The White House transcript made nine corrections to President Biden’s gaffe-filled speech to the NAACP on Monday.

One notable one included his suggestion he was vice president during the COVID-19 pandemic, which began nearly four years after he left office.

The next day, the White House’s correction implied that Biden intended to say “recession,” referencing the Great Recession when he assumed the vice presidency in 2009.

Recession. Pandemic. Yeah, they look alike. Even spelled and pronounced similarly. Uh, no. Biden makes Norm Crosby look like Demosthenes.

Other fixed gaffes included Biden claiming that families saved $800,000 per year from the Affordable Care Act, insisting that he’s fighting corporate landlords who “keep rents down” and incorrectly calling the group “the NAAC.”

NINE gaffes in one speech… And if you think he can say anything coherent outside the teleprompter, here’s a highlight from last month:

“Imagine what we could do next. Four more years, pause,” he said before laughing as the audience began chanting, “Four more years.” Fox News

At least it didn’t say “Joe, STFU” That would have been really embarrassing when he read it.

And, letting no good man’s death go unpraised (yes, that is sarcasm for some of the slower out there) :

Top House Republicans are coming down hard on the Biden administration for expressing condolences for the death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, whose ruthless ways earned him the nickname “Butcher of Tehran.”  Fox News II

I realize “burn in hell” is not necessarily the best governmental statement, but in some cases silence is a far better response than condolences for someone oversaw attacks on civilians, and US personnel. Wonder if they will want to replace a Robert E. Lee statue with one to Raisi?

And then there is the trial of Bob Menendez, accused of taking multiple bribes in cash and gold bars (some of which were provably stolen by their serial numbers):

But defense attorney Avi Weitzman told the jury that there were “innocent explanations” for all of prosecutors’ accusations, and he quickly cut to what might be the heart of his defense — Menendez’s claim that his wife, Nadine, kept him in the dark about the gold bars, cash, luxury car, and other bribes she allegedly took from Hana, Daibes, and a third co-defendant Jose Uribe, who pleaded guilty in March.  Philly Voice

Anyone else here flashing back to the trial scene in “The Pink Panther” in which Inspector Clouseau explains his wife’s spending of huge amounts of money by claiming she is very thrifty with the housekeeping money?
