Here's Joe Biden's reaction to John McCain's pick of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate. "There's a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent," he said in Toledo, Ohio. Pause for the punch-line. "She's good looking." It's the way he tells em, folks.
A female supporter shouted out: "You are gorgeous!" The Delaware senator duly asked her to say it again into the microphone so his wife Jill would hear at home. "I haven't heard that in a long, long, long time," Biden said. "Being around this lean young-looking guy is making me feel pretty old, you know what I mean? I thought I was in pretty good shape until I hung out with this guy."
Amid all the kerfuffle over Sarah Palin, it's worth remembering that one advantage of the pick could be that Joe Biden has a habit of behaving like your slightly embarrassing uncle. Or, as Alex Massie puts it, he's "the sort of man I've met many a time in Irish pubs".
It might seem endearing - or not. At best, it's a risky tack to take with women voters. Nothing he says is actually offensive but it makes you cringe nevertheless. At a Delaware delegation breakfast in Denver last week, Biden began his remarks by saying: "Ladies and gentlemen - mostly ladies, thank God for small favours."
During his first appearance with Barack Obama in Springfield, Illinois, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, my wife, Jill, who you'll meet soon, is drop-dead gorgeous.

What an idiot!
And she is Articulate.
Appears clean as well.
Just hold on a minute, sweetie, we’re gonna have Q&A time later.
There’s something a little creepy about ol’ Joe.
And maybe an intervention on Nov 4th.
Your’re right, of course.
I feel bad.
If you have the address...
Id like to send him a case of Everclear.
I can’t wait for the VP debate when Ol Joe addresses her as “sweetie” or something like that.
She's also smart, tough, passionate, classy, and the next Vice President of the United Sates. Joe Biden is none of those things.
Poor Joe — the stupid bastard...
Finally he will try to pull his egocentric arrogant badgering of “witnesses” or “candidates” requiring Senate Confirmation on Palin during the debate.
Someone inform the idiot - Palin doesn’t NEED Senate confirmation — she will soon be sitting in the tie breaking seat in the Senate -—— she will NOT kowtow to Biden..
She will clean his clock, kick his ass and put a lifetime lump on his corn rows that will finally humble him for the remainer of his sorry life...
If this were a Republican candidate saying that a female Democratic candidate were “good looking,” the feminists would be all over the ‘Pub, claiming his remark was “sexist.”
Biden gets more moronic as each day of the campaign passes.
He’s running an ad in Pennsylvania now. I call it the “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner” ad.
He extols the virtues of his new friend, and tells us Pennsylvanians, “He’s just like you and me.”
His last line is “I’m bringing my new friend home to Scranton”. (paraphrased)
Oh, yes, all us gun-hugging Bible-toting bitter Pennsylvanians are going to fall for THAT one!
So much for practicing what they preach.
Yeah Joe, you’re ugly and she is also intelligent and articulate, law-abiding, a non-plagiarist and when she gets up tomorrow morning she will still be all of those things that you are not.
