Joe Biden Gaffe: VP Hits the Road for ‘Road Island’ [TRANSCRIPT]

Vice President Joe Biden is hitting the road this week to make campaign stops in New England, but looks like he forgot to pack his spell check; White House staffers sent out a press release about his upcoming trip, saying the president was visiting Road Island on Thursday.

Cue auto correct.

The misspelling, since removed from the White House Web site, has been passed on thanks to the Internet, making the spelling error timeless. Many pundits are even calling it the Biden Blooper.

The press release also said Biden would make stops in Boston, Mass. and Manchester N.H. to campaign for U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, but no misspellings there. Here is a transcript of the original press release before it was corrected, courtesy of The Washington Post's Ed O'Keefe of the Federal Eye blog.
