A New Day for Politicos: Invasion of the Techno-Tweets

So What If Joe Biden Doesn't Know His Ass from His URL? Just Ask CNN'S Jeanne Moos

eep Confuses  Recovery Website Address (www.recovery.gov) with Tommy Tutone Rock Classic "867-5309"?

Some people are better at remembering numbers than names.  While you might not remember the name of the  band (Tommy Tutone) or forget the girl's name in the song (Jenny) who could ever forget the telephone number (867-5309) immortalized on the bathroom wall in the bar. Joe must be a real 80's rock afficianado.

Remember the lyrics:

Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold onto 
I know you think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall

Jenny, I got your number,
I need to make you mine.
Jenny, don't change your number,
8-6-7-5-3-0-9 (8-6-7-5-3-0-9)
8-6-7-5-3-0-9 (8-6-7-5-3-0-9)

Jenny, Jenny, you're the girl for me.
You don't know me but you make me so happy.
I tried to call you before but I lost my nerve.
I tried my imagination, but I was disturbed.

Here's a rare clip form a live performance (1983) of the rock classic:

Jeanne Moos from CNN let's nothing go by.  From the technically challenged troglodytic dinosaurs to the new techno-tweets who run around Congress twittering and tweeting desperate to look cool in front of their consistuents and get attention. Ever since Scarlet Johanssen heated up the demand for hand held devices and other parts of the anatomy, the formal dress code for all members of congress includes a blackberry (iphones are too elitist.). Rumor has it only 9 of those blackberry's are actually activated.

But it does seem Joe Biden is clueless as to  what a website address is.  A number? A number!  Websites don't have numbers Joe. Maybe he is confusing the compuserve numeric email addresses from the jurrasic age. If you were such an earlier adopter that you had a compuserve  email address that was numeric then you are totally cool and retro.  Joe?  Doubt it.  A website has a URL (pronounced U-R-L) that stands for Uniform Resource Locator. Learn it. Know it.  btw the government website you were thinking of is www.recovery.gov

Speaking of someone in need of a recovery. Just ask Bobby Jindal. Bloopers and limp performances can end a career.  The formerly up-and-coming Louisiana Gov hit a brick wall and fell flat on his face as he went for the gold in the GOP response to President Obama's Non-State of the Union Address earlier this week.  Bobby.  Trust me.  No one has ever pulled off a successful rebuttal of post-Presidential address with 65 standing ovations.  The Obaminator's  got the entire Congress and 85 million viewers hanging on his every word.  He's signing copies of his address walking out of the most hallowed chamber on the planet for God sake .  He makes Bono look like a deer in the headlights (as opposed to Joachim Phoenix who is a deer in the headlights or seriously needs to  changes his meds or stop taking what ever he is taking altogether.)

So Bobby. Here's a little advice. Get a commuications coach and work on your speaking. Never accept a slot after Barack Obama again. Take the one after Joachim Phoenix.
