Last week, Joe Biden appeared on the CBS Early Show touting the new stimulus tracking website that he’s in charge of. When asked for the URL of the new website, the interview turned into one of those embarrassing spectacles you don’t want to watch, but can’t turn away from. Not only did Biden not know the website address for the very website he was hyping, he could be seen calling to his handler off screen for the “website number.” Ouch.
Looks like Joe and his people have broken the cardinal rule when prepping for an interview: know your subject matter.
