One of them was a top baseball player whose involvement in the 1919 Black Sox match fixing scandal destroyed his legacy and prompted the legendary 'Say it ain't so, Joe' headline which is still deeply ingrained in American culture.The other is Joe Biden who has just made America look like a international joke after fluffing his appearance at the close of Nato summit press conference.It is hard to imagine how much worse it could have gone for the beleaguered president.
”The stunned gasps from the audience echoed around the world.And it got worse, later Mr Biden was asked about Kamala Harris’s suitability to be president.He replied .“I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, if she’s not qualified to be president."More gasps, as the penny dropped that he had mistaken his closest ally for his greatest foe.
