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'...

[freeperfromnj]

He's simply missing "candidate," or "presidential candidate" to be more accurate, after African-American

In that case, paging Reverand Sharpton....

[X-Ecutioner]

Ok fine. Goodness... He sound as if the current crop of elected blacks are trash. The true feelings of liberal democracts maybe?

[NeoCaveman]

Wow the DUmmies are ripping Biden, and doing it with wit and humor.

Half of them must be lousy freeper trolls

[Centurion2000]

Did Biden take policital lessons from Clayton Wheat Williams, Jr?

[BluH2o]

LOL. He is gonna pay for that.

Naaa ... the liberal MSM will give Biden a pass. Of course if a Republican candidate made this remark he/she would be raked over the coals by the MSM for weeks.

[aculeus]

Man, this is gonna big big headline news in th NYT, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC! This story has legs and it is gonna dominate the news for days and days! I would even imagine that the dems are gonna disown this guy and demand his immediate resignation! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The NY Observer is very influential. It's a weekly and it's distributed free to every high-end apartment house in Manhattan, where the heavy hitters live.

[mainepatsfan]

I don't think many of them had any high hopes for Biden to begin with.

[NeoCaveman]

But I see no reason for conservatives to play the same game dishonestly.

Jonah wears a dress.

[Tanniker Smith]

Her debate with Lazio six years ago was hardly a prep for what she's about to face. Her opponents now are not a bunc of Rick Lazios, who, frankly, wasn't ready for prime time. And she's been running from debates ever since. She may have the handlers to get her there, but once she up on the stage her old instincts kick in. Hence the reputation that she gets for being shrilled will get more widespread coverage.

"Kid-glove treatment?" She's been getting that for the past 15 years! Do you think the Dems in the race DON'T want to win it? They'll try to be as down and dirty and nasty as she is. (They can't because they don't have the machinery, but they will try.)

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Nothing will happen to him. There is a double standard. He is a liberal. The media protects liberals. Liberals can do no wrong.
However, when a Republican says something that is NOT racist they jump on him and make his life miserable. The macaca episode is just one example.

[gallaxyglue]

This is soooo beautiful! Especially when Obama is NOT even African-American...He does not belong to the hood. The African-American community loves him, of course, but he does not qualify as a bro.

[Fitzcarraldo]

I agree. That's because we let the Dems get away with it without causing a big stink like they do. Live and learn. Hopefully!

Obama has to defend himself now or else he looks weak.

[NeoCaveman]

I don't think many of them had any high hopes for Biden to begin with.

They do refer to him as Biden (D-MBNA) over there.

I don't have the heart to tell them they need to change that to (D-Bank of America) as MBNA was bought out.

Personally I think it should now be Biden (D-Macaca)

[mainepatsfan]

Agreed. If he can't handle this he'll have zero chance against what her thighness will throw at him.

[jdm]

Jonah used to be more of a harda$$ several years ago. He started giving in within the past year or two, especially.

[NeoCaveman]

Now, there is a bright side for partisans. A fair reading of Biden's statement clearly draws the reader to conclude that Biden is calling Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton filthy, ugly, and dim-witted. Hey, that's not me talking. That's the Democratic Senator from Delaware.

I blogged that Biden inferred this very thing a half an hour before Jonah. Although I doubt he stole the idea from me, lol.

[mainepatsfan]

The big question is will this impact the number of his appearances on the Sunday shows?

[VRWCmember]

He reassured his campaign workers, telling them "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

[Enterprise]

LMAO - By logic he is saying all other mainstream blacks are not clean.

[dfwgator]

LOL @ "Plugs," what a great nickname for Biden.
