Time to roll out the stupid, "we have to look at the body of his work" argument.
Here's the stupid quote;
Mr. Biden is equally skeptical—albeit in a slightly more backhanded way—about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
He's toast.
Question A: Who will press Joe Biden to name the names of the inarticulate and dim and dirty and unattractive African-Americans he was thinking about when he, um, complimented Barack Obama?
Question B: Will the Washington Post give this coverage equal to its Macacaphony over George Allen's racial blundering?
Commenters on TPM are blaming the reporter, it's all just, a, matter, of, where, you, put, the comma. Some liberal apologists are saying that "clean" means without scandal. So...Obama's the first Black man without a scandalous past? Hoozah! Of course no one's ever heard of Colin Powell, Condi Rice...and shouldn't Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson be especially offended, being former Presidential candidates? Oh, I nearly forgot to mention, Biden's announced that he's running. He may as well pull out now.
Updated: Here's the audio from the Politcker. RadioHounds examines what would happen if Hannity had said the same thing.
Hot Air reminds us of Biden's past tales of convince stores and doughnut denizens.
