Commenting on Biden's speech tonight, Brit Hume on Fox implied that Joe

[No Vested Interest]

is becoming "non compus mentus" or "senile", and that in giving a speech Joe might not know where he is.
There seemed to have been a gaffe, which I didn't notice, in Joe's speech.

The usual cast of Fox pundits was with Hume, and some, including Juan, Dana and ......Wallace seemed startled at Hume's words, but didn't protest too much.
Did anyone else see and hear that?

I don't watch Fox much, but sometimes flip around the channels when MSNBC or CNN are dullish.

1. They got a lot of room to talk

Trump sounds like a deranged fucking dumbass every day. Fox News needs to shut the fuck up and blow up already

[Midnight Writer]

2. I wonder if Brit was wearing his vinyl undergarments? He's pointing fingers?

[beachbumbob]

3. the foxnoise machine and now the fear is setting in that biden is back and back big

the nightmare for trump and gop taking shape

[SkyDaddy7]

11. EXACTLY!!!

They’ve been pushing both the “Biden is senile & losing his mind” myth as well as the conspiracy theory Biden is this deeply corrupt part of the evil & mysterious DEEP STATE run by President Obama that’s out to take down the best POTUS since Abraham Lincoln...Their patriotic DEAR LEADER TRUMP!

...That channel & practically everyone on it are such pathetic Orange Menace ass kissers I don’t know how they they can live with themselves!!!

...I’m forced to endure watching FOX “News” while at my in-laws...And I swear it doesn’t matter what time of day I’m over there the level of ABSURDITIES flowing from any given pundit’s mouth is so over the top one would just assume it was an SNL skit or parody of some type!!
..But the sad fact is these FOX “News” host are part of a VERY REAL BRAIN WASHED CULT OF TENS OF MILLIONS of Americans & they truly believe every disgustingly sick & stupid thing they’re saying or they’re knowingly lying to their inFOXicated TRUMP CULT audience!!

...I can’t believe so many people have willfully allowed themselves to be taken so far outside the realm of reality all in the effort to protect a narcissistic POS who don’t give a squirt of piss on a Russian hotel bed about them or our country!?!?

4. Rightwingers are certain to make that a theme

Keep saying it and one example is all they need to pounce.

I thought Biden sounded great tonight. He does fine in short sound bytes. He needs to keep that in mind during debates. Biden has trouble nowadays when he tries to squeeze too much into one long response. Often there is one segment that gives him trouble. Normally it requires remembering a name or a bill or some statistic.

6. Yeah we old folks sometimes mangle a few words

But we know the difference between right and wrong, between decency and vile vulgar malignant narcissism, between patriotism and treason.

5. Brit Hume can go eat a bug

[trickyguy]

8. Did they hear our incoherant "drugged up" President at his press conference

the other day. He was totally out of it and couldn't stay awake.
What a sad excuse for leadership.

[HarlanPepper]

12. Plus his blood type is "Hamburger grease."

[chowder66]

7. I believe it was because his wife and sister changed sides

and when he started to introduce them he moved his arm to one side and the other introducing the wrong one calling his wife is sister and vice versa.
He caught it immediately and said oh you switched sides! They all kind of laughed it off or through it.

It's a nothing burger.

[No Vested Interest]

9. You're likely correct; the Fox crowd alluded to something about wife & sister,

but I hadn't seen that occur. It must have been at the beginning of the speech, which I missed.

But the two people who rushed the dais with signs... What did the signs say? I saw it twice but couldn't make out what the signs were about.

[FBaggins]

13. Anti dairy protestors

I have no idea what connection they see with the campaign. The signs were “let dairy die”

[chowder66]

18. I think they were just trying to be seen for their anti-dairy stance. Nothing to do with Biden. nt

[tishaLA]

10. They did the same concern trolling re: Sec Clinton's health

let's not allow them to get away with it this time, OK?

[patricia92243]

14. Trump and friends always project. In other words Trump has

long been senile. I still think that is why Ivanka came to Washington with Daddy - to babysit him.

[Locrian]

15. you think thats going to get any better?!! ha!

The gop machine hasn't every gotten STARTED on Joe.
They're going to rip him apart.

[genxlib]

16. They all get a little punch drunk at this stage

They have been traveling, greeting, speaking, on TV, debating, etc. forever. It is exhausting.

This is often when you see some simple mistakes that seem egregious but are easily explained by shear fatigue

I still here Magats refer to the time Obama misspoke about the number of states he had been to and that was 12 years ago. Does anyone really believe that Obama didn’t know how many states there are?

I give anyone a lot of leeway on what they say after an endless string of endless days on the road.

[SharonClark]

17. Thanks for your thoughtful post.

I’m one of those who always fears seeing Biden at the podium because when he shouts he does seem to slur his words. He may be exhausted, as I would be if in his shoes, so he needs to learn that sometimes it’s better to talk to the crowd slowly and deliberately, and not try to rally the crowd by shouting. Shouting is Sanders’ thing. Not Biden’s thing.

19. You make very good points.
