Remember the line “if you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t really there”? It got support Tuesday from the Democratic presidential front-runner, born 1942.

According to a video posted by the Republican National Committee “war room,” former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, campaigning in Iowa on Tuesday, placed two of the 1960s most iconic events — the weeks-apart assassinations of Robert Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King — in the wrong decade.

 

“When Bobby Kennedy and Dr. King had been assassinated in the 70s, the late 70s when I got engaged,” he said in the run-up to making a point about how times have changed.

Mr. Biden did at least place his engagement in the right decade — he married first wife Neilia Hunter in 1966.

Late 70's is his age - he always gets the two things mixed up.

I'm sorry he is way to old to be President.

Slow Joe said one of the hottest slogans in the Sixties was "don't get engaged." :silly:

Wasn't it just the other day that Biden's Dr. said there is nothing wrong with Biden's brain? I think they may have misquoted the Doc, I think he actually said 'there is nothing wrong with Joe Biden's brain, it is perfectly Abby Normal'

In his defense, Joe hasn't been the same since JFK's death in 1973...

Actually he said Biden was "as sharp as he was 31 years ago".  Meaning he is still as sharp as a bowling ball.

Biden doesn't need reporters.

He writes his own headlines.

Keep talkin', Joe ...!

Anyone who has read Donald Trump's Twitter feed knows better than to try and discredit someone based on fishing every speech and comment for a malapropism.

Joltin' Joe's nimble brain is the gift that keeps on giving. It still may not be enough for a Republican to win the election, though, sad to say.

Didn't know that Joe was on the planning group.
