From the NY Times****Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., the Democratic vice-presidential candidate, is an experienced, serious and smart man. But, boy, does he say some curious things. A day on the campaign trail without a cringe-inducing gaffe is a rare blessing. He has not been too blessed lately.
“Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America,” Mr. Biden said Wednesday in Nashua, N.H. “Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me.”
In Columbia, Mo., this week, Mr. Biden urged a paraplegic state official to stand up to be recognized. “Chuck, stand up, let the people see you,” Mr. Biden shouted to State Senator Chuck Graham, before realizing, to his horror, that Mr. Graham uses a wheelchair.
This is the fellow who nearly derailed his nascent presidential campaign last year by calling Mr. Obama “articulate and bright and clean,” and who noted that a person needed a slight Indian accent to walk into a Dunkin’ Donuts or 7-Eleven in Delaware, his home state.
The man who, reading his vice-presidential acceptance speech from a teleprompter, bungled Mr. McCain’s name and called him “George.” (“Freudian slip, folks, Freudian slip,” he explained.)
The man who, on the day Mr. Obama announced him as his running mate, referred to his party’s presidential nominee as “Barack America..."****

and on and on. I'll bet Obama really wishes he'd picked Hillary.

the article didn't really go into detail towards the most offensive ... i don't really think it matters he slipped up and said george mccain (a huge focus of the democrats has been to link mccain with george bush) ...
but 7/11 and saying his wife is extremely gorgeous but 'also has her doctorate degree which is a problem.' seems noteworthy ...

I think he's kind of funny. The thing with the guy in the wheelchair was so obviously not meant to be offensive, but he handled it really well.

Has anyone heard from him lately? Glenn Beck has an Amber Alert on him since he hasn't been seen from since his comment about Hillary being the better choice.
