Bizarre act by Biden

fuck

"HIS first run for the presidency collapsed, in 1987, after a bizarre act of plagiarism. Bizarre because Joe Biden not only borrowed the words of another politician, Neil Kinnock, the leader of the British Labour Party. That is par for the course in modern politics. He borrowed his life-story, too. He claimed that he was the first Biden to go to university and that his ancestors had worked down a coal mine, both untrue. The only thing he did not claim was to be Welsh."

I remember that. It was very strange. I generally like Biden just fine, but he has his moments. This time during his presidential run he had this to say about Barak:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

I know he meant well, but damn, that was a little telling.

At least he remembered Shirley Chisolm....but still, I can not vote for Joe Biden...he does not represent "Change" other than not being named Bush or Clinton.

Yeah, poor choice of words. The old folks, as hard as they try, have the most difficult coming off as culturally aware and PC.

I'm sure the McCain camp is just sitting on some of the shit Biden said about Obama at the democrats debates during the primaries. I believe he criticized Obama's voting record at one point... I'm sure that sound bite will appear in a McCain ad once the election gets closer.
