He's just a gaffe machine, and he won't work for nobody but you

Best. Political. Gaffe. Ever:

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened,'" Barack Obama's running mate recently told the "CBS Evening News."

This reminds me of that feature they used to run in the Sunday paper -- can you spot all the mistakes in this picture?

Do you think FDR went on CNN or MSNBC?

Footnote: By the way, Roosevelt was the first president to appear on television at the 1939 World's Fair (above). Of course, he was a) actually president then and b) a working television had actually been invented then.
