Joe Biden is a jackass. Calling Barack the first Black that was worth anything as a political candidate (basically) is just stoopid.I'd vote for Chuck Hagel, (R)-Neb. before I'd vote for Biden. What a train-wreck he is! How many blunders can one man make...stealing speeches from other people, making insensitive remarks time and time again...Please, God, help Dems see that he just can't be the candidate we put forth.
Well put and an apt summary for Biden again sticking his foot in his mouth when it comes to minorities. While some will call it an accidental slip or other being overly PC, it is a major messup during the launch of his campaign and will likely end the small shred of hope he did have to try and compete for the nomination. In case you did miss it, the story was from the New Your Observer.
In the New York Observer article, Biden called Clinton's plan for Iraq "nothing but disaster"; said Edwards doesn't know "what the heck he is talking about" on Iraq; and said this about Obama: "'You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy... I mean, that's a storybook, man.'"
This comes after comments earlier from Biden that you couldn't walk into a 7-11 or Dunking Donuts in his home state of Delaware unless you had an Indian accent.
Credibility questionable, sensitivity low, presidential chances....zero. The next round of rankings will reflect this.

I agree - I think Biden is actually running for a Cabinet position...not even VP. I bet he'll be out earlier in the cycle than Bob Graham was last season.
