BIDEN THE IGNORAMUS (updated!)

Senator Joe Biden is the gift that keeps giving! If any other politician, especially a Republican had said any of these things they would never be able to live it down. Biden creates controversy literally everytime he opens his mouth - and largely gets a pass. Even CNN's Lou Dobbs did a segment on this subject.

If Sarah Palin was half the serial gaffer Joe Biden is, the Media would be all over her, insisting that her boo-boos showed her to be incompetent. Yet Biden gets a free pass from the pro-Obama mainstream media (MSM) as he continues to mangle his remarks with remarks with multiple faux pas. His latest was a beauty, and a serious blow to the reputation of his running mate Barack Obama, who's already fending off attacks on his own inexperience: “Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.” And if that wasn't enough, he went on to say that Barack Obama would not be up to meeting the crisis and would need help. The media's reaction: to swallow whole the Obama camp's spin. He wasn't talking about Obama alone, the spinners said, but McCain as well – a flat out lie. He specifically named Obama. That gaffe has also provided fodder for Sarah Palin, who has been repeating it on the stump since Biden uttered it last weekend. “Did you hear what Sen. Biden said at a fundraiser on Sunday?" Palin asked at a rally in Troy, Ohio. "He guaranteed—he said mark my words, he guarantees that if Barack Obama is elected, we’ll face an international crisis within the first six months of their administration.” She then touted Biden's vast foreign policy experience, using it to point out how the top of the Democratic ticket pales in comparison. “Senator Obama’s own running mate, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has informed us that a serious international crisis is certain if Obama is elected," Palin said, "and that he is not ready to deal with it and America doesn’t need smooth talk that glosses over that question, we need straight talk that answers it.” If anything, Biden is full of "straight talk" — but it always raises more questions than answers. Biden shocked many when, during a rally, he asked the wheelchair-bound Missouri politician Chuck Graham to “stand up” at a rally. You can read the entire article here.
