Joe Biden stepped on his dick at today's "historic" Obama health care reform bill signing. The loose-lipped VP whispered to Obama at the podium before a live mic: "This is a big fucking deal." Fox News got the gaffe first. Fox "Special Report" sage Charles Krauthammer: "New Deal, Square Deal, now Big Deal."
It was a big fucking deal for TV news. AP: ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox broke into daytime programming Tuesday to cover the event. Cable television news networks also carried Obama's speech and bill signing. ABC opened its coverage with tape of President Franklin Roosevelt signing Social Security legislation and President Lyndon Johnson creating Medicare. Anchor Diane Sawyer said the Obama administration "considers this their legacy moment." As he was signing off, NBC's Brian Williams noted that despite the White House celebration, "there is a lot of anger in the land."
