In a tortured attempt to avoid insulting Mexico, Vice President Joe Biden today burnished his image as one of the nation's great verbal bumblers.
"I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now," Biden told Matt Lauer during an interview on "Today" when asked whether he would advise family members to use public transportation. "It's not that it's going to Mexico, it's you're in a confined aircraft when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That's me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation suggesting they ride the subway. "
This isn't the first time that Biden has wilted under the hot glare of "Today." In September, Biden declared that, "The federal government should not bailout AIG," during an interview with Vieira.
Later that day, Obama came out with his own statement on the bailout, saying, "the Fed must ensure that the plan protects the families that count on insurance."
In October, just two weeks ahead of the election, Biden tried to garner votes by promising that a vote for Obama-Biden was a vote for an attack on America.
"Mark my words," the senior senator from Biden warned a crowd of supporters in Seattle. "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy … Gird your loins, we're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride."
The White House finally apologized Thursday to any Americans who took Biden's swine flu comments too seriously, but they were too late. No one's taken Biden's words seriously since the fall.
