Ole Joe is at it again making blunders. How embarrassing.
Vice President Biden congratulates the wrong Marty Walsh - Boston.com
Just minutes after the election returns arrived in Boston Tuesday night, Martin Walshs cellphone rang. It was the vice president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden, offering his congratulations.
You son of a gun, Marty! he thundered. You did it!
The only problem was, it was the wrong Marty Walsh. Biden had called the cellphone of Marty Walsh, a former aide to US Senator Edward M. Kennedy who is now the president of Gateway Public Solutions, a government relations firm in Boston.
At the time, this Marty Walsh said, he was sitting on the couch with his wife at their home in Natick, watching the election results on television. Meanwhile, the other Marty Walsh, the one who had just been elected mayor of Boston, was at the Park Plaza Hotel, celebrating his victory.
The less-famous Marty Walsh said he thanked Biden for his kind words, but told him that he reached the wrong Marty. He offered to help the vice president track down the right one, the one who had just been elected mayor.
