Yes, and I really enjoyed your comment at the other blog that “Biden was ‘toast’ before he was bread.”

Oh, I agree it’s a big gaffe, especially if you’re tracking at less than 1% already. Of course if you’re only at 1% you don’t have far to fall.

Biden was done before this happened.

It doesn’t get much more patronizing than a white man praising an African-American man for being “clean,” “bright,” and “articulate.” And that’s the case no matter what you think of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, et al. This was a big-time, major-league gaffe, even for someone like Biden who’s predisposed to talking without thinking first.

Hey, Biden got 3 out of 4 right, didn’t he? I mean, Shirley Chisholm was a fine lady but he was dead on with the other three…. Even if it was subliminal.

I'll let Barack Obama himself answer that question, Stram:

Later on Wednesday, Obama, in a written statement, 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."

Obambi is the ‘first’? Nah, there’s been a few more haven’t there?

Let’s see, Jesse, Reverend Al, uh…Bill Cosby, no he’s an actor….

Mr. Filius, do you think maybe Biden was talking about those who have run for president? If so, he’s dead on.
