Where did I put my fainting couch? I can’t find any pearls to clutch! The News Journal weighs in on the Biden hot mic moment:
When you call a press conference, watch what you say in front of the microphones.
Thanks to modern technology, the globe can now hear your whisper.
…
All Mr. Biden has to do is say something pithy about a crucial topic, say health care, and instantaneously his comment is transmitted around the world, posted on Internet videos and printed on T-shirts.
Well … sometimes you can be a little too pithy. Especially in front of an open microphone.
Let’s just say that a certain choice of words (call them forceful and emphatic) at yesterday’s White House ceremony marking the signing of the health care reform law will get a lot more attention than they deserve.
Dear News Journal, Joe Biden’s BFD is no BFD. I, for one, adore the fact that Biden talks like everyone else.
