I sure wish he'd said that after getting nominated.
Now we have to wait on another one to do the same at a much later date.
Aw, I was looking forward to Old Joe's campaign.
What happened to the article?
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.
Run Jesse run!
He's a Democrat. He will get away with it.
He certainly couldn't have meant "clean" as in ethical and trustworthy, so we are left to conclude...buh-bye, Joe.
My dad always said that white people who always raise the issue of race in order to show how non-racist they are, are probably the biggest racists of all. After listening to people like Biden, I'm inclined to agree.
I asked a well-connected Democrat friend of mine in DC about Biden. Her answer was that "Biden is a blithering idiot. All the Democrats know he is a blithering idiot, but he plays well to the cameras and is electable -- and those are the most important qualities in a Senator when you are trying to take over the House and Senate as the Democrats are".
Pretty cynical from the Party that is supposed to be filled with idealists!
Yes, Joe....Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have always been UNCLEAN....lol.
"In Delaware, the largest growth of population is Indian-Americans, moving from India. You cannot go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking."
Go to video for posterity Jeeves:

If you search youtube under Biden, you will see flip-flops from the surge and everything in between.
How can anyone, especially a politician, say these things out loud?
It's a toss-up between Biden and Kerry.
I heard Joe Biden actually plagerized the racist comment from Robert Byrd. /sarc
Obviously he attended the John Kerry school of diplomacy.
Placemark.
I asked what the Senator meant by "clean"? Every African American I work with is clean, the lady next door is clean, the folks I associate outside of work are clean, so what did he mean by clean?
They giggled politely. His staff is embarassed by him.
