Why do some expect certain public figures to be perfect?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) March 24th, 2010 from iPhone

The teaser on the local 9 o’clock news last night was lot ado over Biden’s newest uh oh.

Thinking it was worth hearing, I stayed awake long enough to catch the end of the newscast’s 60-second schpiel.

Why do some individuals make a big deal out of Biden’s “bleeping” big deal comment?  To me, Biden’s bleeping bleep was really nothing—especially compared to other on-air goofs several politicians and famous people have made.

So, the newest one will be in the news for the next 24–72 hours.

(My favorite headline is: Still not covered by health care: Biden’s mouth.)

Why the big fuss?  Why do some expect certain public figures to be perfect?  It’s not like the so-called perfect little people don’t occasionally let a bleeping bleep slip.

(Ugh, my grammar ain’t perfect… Oh FUUUUDGGGE!!!!!)
