Biden’s known for his gaffs... especially those dealing with race. Glad to know he didn’t make the one in question...
Here’s one he did make:

‘Mainstream African American’
During a conference call with reporters in 2007, Biden assessed the strengths of fellow presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
“I mean you’ve got the first sort of mainstream African American, who is articulate and bright, and clean and [a] nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man,” Biden said.
After Biden apologized, Obama said, “I didn’t take Sen. Biden’s comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate. African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues through their campaigns, and no one would call them inarticulate.”
That won't go down well with older leftists (the younger ones probably don't know who the other guys are).
