SEN. BIDEN SHOCK INTERVIEW: OBAMA FIRST 'CLEAN' BLACK IN MAINSTREAM...

'I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy'...

[radiohead]

Damn! He might as well have said, 'Light, bright, almost white.'

Biden proves me right once again - 'scratch a liberal, find a racist.'

Biden Said What?   [Yuval Levin]

Jason Horowitz of the New York Observer interviews Senator Joe Biden, and quotes him saying the following about Barack Obama:  

Mr. Biden is equally skeptical—albeit in a slightly more backhanded way—about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” 

The first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy? Just what is he saying about every other “mainstream African American”? (And just what does that mean anyway?) You have to imagine Biden was letting his mouth run ahead of his brain, and it doesn’t take much to imagine Biden doing that. But on the other hand, perhaps only someone foolish enough to believe such a thing could also be foolish enough to say it.

Oh my, calling a black guy "articulate" is a major faux pas. LOL. Love it. See ya Joe.

I'd think calling a black guy "clean" would be an even bigger one, wouldn't you?

[PISANO]

He will NOT PAY a price that can be remotely compared to a conservative who said the same thing!!

Very true!

[Balding_Eagle]

Mrs BE just told that she saw Denzel on Oprah once. He sounded raging lunatic Left.

[penelopesire]

Wonder how the DBM will cover this (if at all)?

[Dooderbutt]

Damn, beat me by 2 minutes...

"...first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy'..."

Gee I recall a number of black CONSERVATIVE Republicans (J.C. Watts for one) that were "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy".

No, what Biden REALLY means is that Obama is the first LIBERAL DEMOCRAT black who doesn't come off as a frothing at the mouth racist numbnut (Jackson Lee, William Jefferson, Rangel, etc. etc.).

[Fitzcarraldo]

From Rueters:

"...He had kind words for Clinton from New York and Obama from Illinois on Wednesday, saying Clinton was "fully qualified to be president" and Obama was "incredible ... really bright."

[Mo1]

From you DU .. they agree .. Biden is toast

[TheSpottedOwl]

Ooops....

[brwnsuga]

Mr. Washington, rebuked the liberal musings of Meryl Streep during their publicity tour for the "Manchurian Candidate". He has continually voiced his support of the troops and our President.

[kabar]

Like I've been predicting: (Democrat) people are going to get away from all this drama by going with "the white guy from the South" -- which will be Edwards, Gore or a player to be named later.

It's Hillary--a no brainer. All the rest are auditioning for VP. The only Dem who could possibly challenge her is Gore and he says he isn't running. This month's Rolling Stone is begging Gore to enter.

[ushr435]

Does he mean clean as in hygiene?!?

Maybe his hair transplants gave him a mini-frontal lobotomy.

[hilaryrhymeswithrich]

I read that on Drudge this am and thought wow...when is the #&$^#$% going to hit the fan for THAT! Can you imagine what would happen to a conservative who said something that stupid???

[dfwgator]

Good for him. Maybe he didn't realize that they would put the DNC Propaganda at the end of "John Q".

[bcsco]

Ping for reference.

>>>>Clean = Not On The Take ?

Nah, he uses Dove.
