You've probably seen the Gaffemaster's most recent boner, asking for a website "number". This idiot averages about one a week. You remember Dan Quayle was crucified for spelling a word the way it was written ("potatoe"). This bloviating buffoon Biden was treated a serious person during the election instead of the cartoon character he is.
Gee, the difference in treatment between the two vice-presidents wouldn't have anything to do with POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, would it?
Remember when Geo Bush (the first) expressed his unfamiliarity with grocery checkout scanners way back when?
The media had a field day with that one.
I thought the political comics like Jon Stewart etc. would make light of Biden's "website number" but they didn't, it seems.
Yes, that's exactly the kind of thing Stewart would focus on. I do remember Bush's deal with the scanners, also. He was roundly ridiculed as out of touch.

Biden remembers that, when Al Gore first invented the internet, there were website numbers.
Neither did then Senator Quayle - he truthfully stated that he had more congressional experience then Kennedy did when he ran for president.
Senator Bentsen had prepared for such a statement in his practice sessions but if I recall correctly(I will need to dig up the article where I read this) he didn't expect to get an opportunity to use his retort. You can see the expression on his face when he realizes that Quayle had given him his chance. There was nothing inherently wrong with what Senator Quayle said - and he already had answered the experience question four times.
The media really was not playing even-handed and they a showed a bias for the Democratic candidates during that campaign, IMO.
