Speaking at Drake University in Iowa on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden was running through a list of dignitaries that were there for his remarks and referred to former Iowa Democratic Representative Neal Smith as his “old butt buddy” and told Smith that “I miss you man.”
On Thursday night, the major networks ignored the story and didn’t even one of its lighthearted news briefs to it (as the networks often do in the second half of their programs).
Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect ended its Thursday show by having a laugh over Biden’s latest tongue slip with co-host John Heilemann remarking that “things got awkward when Joe Biden stumbled over his words, because, you know, that’s never happened before.”
