Talking about an unflattering anecdote Vice-President Joe Biden told about
former-president George W. Bush, Bush’s longtime political strategist
Karl Rove called Biden “a serial exaggerator” and suggested that Biden was a
liar. The Nation correspondent Ari Melber explains how
this is part of a continuing effort by the previous administration to get Obama and the Democrats to take their eyes off “the ball.” MSNBC analyst and
former Bush aide Joe Watkins can’t seem to remember who is the “sitting
president of the United States” or whether he or his
friends have met Biden.
