Joe Biden Continues Gaffe-Filled Week by Getting LL Cool J's Name WrongBelieve it or not, I'm posting this not to make fun of Joe Biden, but to make fun of Newsweek. In the 2nd half of the article, if it hasn't been removed, you will find this:
"Joe Biden calls LL Cool J 'boy' . I think his mind is stuck in the 60s," wrote X user Malachi Maxey.
Others, however, came to the president's defense.
"In a sane world, he'd be a nice old man referring to a man much younger than he is as a boy, and it would all be endearing, and LL Cool J would be flattered to be addressed so familiarly by a respectable old man. Unfortunately, we live in a world where the president is old," wrote X user Jay Buffalkill.
I think Newsweek read that totally wrong. If Jay had been defending the President, he would have said something like "Unfortunately, we live in an insane world where anything that can be interpreted to be racist will be." Looking at some of Jay's other posts, he doesn't strike me as someone who would defend Biden. My interpretation is "In a sane world, he'd be a nice old man,
not the President..."
That a mainstream publication hasn't noticed this and corrected it after being online for over 24 hours is just hilarious. I'm actually shocked I saw no one point this out in the comments.
