Tim Kaine Biden Flub

Tim Kaine Biden Flub, There's an insane amount of pressure for politicians to get their message out there but one slip-up can end up on headlines, more-so than their campaign.Vice President Joe Biden called out the Democratic Senate candidate in Virginia by the wrong first name twice during his fundraiser.

"I want to tell you, it's good to be in a state that's going to be represented by Tim Kaine. What a guy! There is a decent honorable man. That man has more integrity in his little finger than most people have in their whole body. I'm a big Tom Kaine fan, a big Tom Kaine fan," Biden said at the Lynchburg City Armory.

You can't blame Hurricane Sandy for the confusion. VP Biden headlined a fundraiser for Kaine back in May as the former governor runs for Senate against Republican George Allen. Kaine also served as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2009 to 2011, ABC News (link back here) reports.

Like hawks on the prowl, the Romney campaign was quick to chop up a clip highlighting the flub and circulating it on Twitter.

"Vice President Biden forgot the name of his own Virginia Democratic Senate nominee and he wants voters to forget about President Obama's failed economic policies and lack of a real agenda for a second term," Ryan Williams, spokesman for Romney, said in a statement.

"Once again, Mitt Romney's campaign is showing their focus on the big things - like one letter in Tim Kaine's name," Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith retaliated in another statement. "If they put as much time and effort into their policies, maybe we'd finally have an answer for how they'd pay for $5 trillion in tax cuts weighted to the very wealthy."

Biden, who was accompanied by his wife Dr. Jill Biden, was scheduled to hold an additional event in Virginia Beach, Va., today, but the campaign cancelled due to the storm.

Heidi Montag fake break-up

Heidi Montag fake break-up, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag—the whoriest of the famewhores, the most promotional of the promosexuals, the couple that took Paris Hilton’s famous-for-nothing vocation and turned it into a winking, nonstop enterprise—are careful to say that they have no regrets. Living a fake life for the sake of cameras worked for them for years. Until it didn’t. They’re broke and living at Spencer’s parents’ beach house in Santa Barbara because of the free rent; Heidi’s body and face are forever changed from plastic surgeries she now wishes she had not gotten; their relationships with friends and family are severely damaged; and they have found themselves largely unemployable, both on camera and off. We discussed these issues over lunch recently at the couple’s favorite restaurant, Don Antonio’s in West L.A., where I had interviewed them three years earlier when they were at the top of their game with MTV’s docusoap The Hills, working every lever of the celebrity i...
