Senator Joe Biden remains under fire from both Republicans and Democrats over a racially insensitive remark he made regarding black presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Speaking to the New York Observer recently Biden said, "I mean 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."
However, the flood gates of criticism really opened up on Biden when the remainder of his comments were made public.
"Look, this guy is great with words. Big words. Little words. Medium words. Even compound words. Very impressive. Furthermore, I think it was a smart move to have him put down his basketball and Q'aran during photo opportunities. He clearly has good people advising him."
Not content with offending only blacks, Biden caused even more of a stir with statements regarding other prominent Democratic presidential contenders.
"Her people must be very proud. It wasn't too long ago that they could only be phys ed teachers, and now she's just 25 million drunken voters away from the presidency." - on Hillary Clinton
"You'd have to be blind to have not seen this guy's success coming. First he was treasurer of his high school's Involuntary Abstinence program. Next he was coordinator of the Middle Earth Society's Dungeon's & Dragons Potluck Dinner. And that's not even counting his four years as assistant score keeper for the chess club. The sky is the limit for Dennis. He will be a tough opponent." - on Dennis Kucinich
"I think it's great that he's out there trying to be president again, just great. I wish he'd wear his helmet, but it's still great." - on Al Gore
Biden supporters can next catch the senator this weekend giving a speech to Yale University's Hispanic Student Union entitled, "Alberto Gonzalez: Dude Has Never Once Stabbed Me."
Pinging the usual suspects!
(anyone wanting on or off the satire ping list, let me know!
Insert foot, chew vigorously…
Biden is just cannon fodder while the forces of darkness continue to gather to support the hildibeast.
He's tried to draw attention to the word "Clean" as being the troubled word. Well it does strike me of saying something like "I like him, he has good teeth."
But he prefaced the compliment of "clean" with "mainstream" and "articulate". Would he use these same compliments for a black presidential candidate like "Al Sharpton"? If not, why not?
Would he say to Edwards, Clinton, or Kucinich "You're a credit to your race"?
The Left tried to establish Ebonics as a legitimate "second language" in America in the 1990s. That would be contrary to seeing black Americans educated to communicate in an "articulate" manner.
The scam is up. So while Biden WAS complimenting Obama, it is a racist backhanded compliment.
He He! Biden said that? Im starting to like the old goober L0L
if this were offered as a toast by a republican, the leftist media would scalp him.
DID BIDEN REALLY SAY THIS???
Biden: "And I'd just like to say that I'd be thrilled to have him as my gardener. That is, if I couldn't find a Japanese guy."
Guffaw!
Yes, he did. (extreme sarcasm) Jeeze!
The Nose on Your Face
News so fake you'll swear it came from the mainstream media.
Great comments on the other Democratic contenders! The "drunken voters" comment is just great! It is good to see at least one on the democratic side of the aisle has the balls to call 'em as he sees 'em.
The fact that he needed to differentiate Obama as a, "clean African-American," makes me strongly suspect the phrase, "dirty n#gger," is no stranger to this man's thoughts and words.
God, this is funny! It goes well with the panic in Boston over the Mooninites.
Biden may have used clean to mean untainted by scandal.
And Obama is articulate, for a Senator. He isn't necessarily any more articulate than other black pols. Say what you will about Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, neither guy has trouble putting his thoughts into words. Senators are a different story.
His Presidential aspirations died on the day he he declared....roflmao.
All those years of posturing and pandering just to be outdone by his incessant babbling while backstabbing his own party.
If Joe Biden didn't mexist, Karl Rove would have to invent him. Speaking of which...hmmmm....i wonder...oh, never mind!
sorry for typos...i blame it on the kids.
