CNN reports that on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden spoke in Mexico City and "came close to offering an apology for comments made by Republicans about Mexico and Mexican immigrants on the campaign trail."
"I almost feel obliged to apologize for some of what my political colleagues said," Biden said alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto. "It's a heated campaign season and I just want you to know, Mr. President, that the most heated rhetoric you've heard from competitors for the nomination for president is not who we are as the American people. It is not the view that is the view of the majority of the American people. It's the exact opposite. It's the opposite view."

“Those of you who are docs know every profession has their sick jokes,” said Biden. “The joke among docs is: How do you know someone’s had a cranial aneurysm? On the autopsy table. Only 20 percent of the people have it even get to the table.
“Well, one of the fascinating things is, that the second operation, after the first one, which was a bleed, and they gave me a relatively low chance of surviving,” said Biden. “I remember going down, and asking the doc, and, you know, you’re counting the ceiling tiles and you’re heading into the operating room—a lot of you’ve been there. I said, ‘Doc, what are my chances?’ I had two great neurosurgeons. And I’ll never forget—I will not mention his name, but he’s one of the leading neurosurgeons in the world—he said: ‘Senator, for mortality or morbidity?’
“And I’m thinking,” said Biden. “No, swear to God, I mean, you know, jeez. Well, I said, ‘Let me put it to you this way.’ It was a long road to the operating room. I said—this is absolutely a true story—I said: ‘What are my chances of getting off this table and being completely normal?’ He said: ‘Well, your chances of living are a lot better.’
“And I said, ‘OK. What are they?’ He said, ‘Well, they’re in the 35 to 50 percent range.’ And I thought, well—seriously, I was a born optimist—I said, well, hell, that means 35 out of 100, 50 out of 100 make it. I might as well be the one,” said Biden.
“I said: ‘What’s the most likely thing that will happen if I live?’ He said, ‘Well, the side of the brain that the first aneurysm is on controls your ability to speak.’ And I thought: ‘Why in the hell didn’t they tell me this before the ‘88 campaign?’ It could have saved us all a lot of trouble, you know what I mean?”
Exactly. Everytime I hear Obama say that, I scream at the TV and say “You don’t speak for me, dumbass. That’s exactly who I am. I despise illegal aliens and Muslims, and will not make an apology for it either.”
Dear Mexico,
We apologize for Joe Biden. He’s a f@%$*%g idiot.
Signed,
Everyone (except Joe Biden)
In keeping with the spirit of Vice President Biden, I would also like to apologize for writing that former Mexican President Vicente Fox has sex with knotholes in wooden fences.
I was wrong to write that.
He’s actually just French Kissing the knotholes.
Joe Biden thought it looked like fun.
Unbelievable piece of human debris!
I apologize to the world for Biden
Joe Biden shared his views on illegal immigration with an Iowa crowd, saying that the solution starts with big changes in the Mexican economy. ‘They're being irresponsible. This is the second-wealthiest nation in the hemisphere - we're not talking about Sierra Leone,’ the Democratic presidential candidate said. ‘This is a dysfunctional society.’
First time I recall hearing “it’s not who we are” was from Dem pols during the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed waterboarding controversy, as if harshly interrogating the jihadi terrorist mastermind of 9/11 was somehow a bad thing. It’s been a lib staple phrase ever since.
As one bucket of warm spit to another ....
That line should be his epitaph, and there are many contending flubs for the honor.
He’s just warming up. He’ll be spending the rest of his life apologizing for omama.
Ask Biden to tell us exactly where Mexico is on the map.
That should be a good answer to hear.
No, Joe, it is not next to Panama.
I think Biden is still going to run. Remember how everybody loved it when Obama was apologizing for us all the time? Democrats love anyone who thinks the USA is terrible.
If you look at how poorly he has done in Democratic primaries, there is no reason to think Biden will run (and even less to fear from him if he does). After publicly stating this his dying son’s wish was that he run, he refused to do so...
