National Idiot |
"The Giants [are] on their way to the Super Bowl," Biden enthusiastically told a group gathered at a private fundraiser, apparently referring to one of New York's NFL teams. He received "good-natured boos" for the comment, according to a pool report.
After suggesting that the Giants were heading to the Super Bowl, Biden quickly recognized the gaffe 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.
However it turns out that Biden was accidentally correct, because the NY Giants actually beat the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional playoff game tonight. It was an excitingly close game that had to go into overtime. The NY Giants won it 20-17.
So... the "Giants" really are going to the Superbowl. But not the San Francisco Giants (sic) that Biden had predicted would go there. And this isn't even one of Biden's most outrageous gaffes. Just his latest one.
