Janie, you know I love you....I'll graciously accept your apology anytime now. ;)
Janie's post from January 2007:We all remember a few months back when Joe Biden had this to say about "Indians":
"You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."
Well, ole Biden has struck again. This time in an interview with The New York Observer, Biden makes what can be construed as a racist comment while attacking his would-be opponents in the 2008 Presidential race:
"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.”
The article goes on to quote Biden referring to Hillary Clinton's plan for Iraq as a "disaster," while saying about John Edward's plan, "I don't think John Edwards knows what the heck he is talking about."
This coming from the man that wants to partitian Iraq.
These comments present two problems:
1) In a political climate where Democrats need to band together to win the very important 2008 election, Biden is already trashing his opponents which will do nothing to strengthen the party.
2) The comment regarding Obama can be construed as racist, and gives the right a new talking point for which to attack him with and through association, all Democrats as well.
I think it's time for ole Joe to go.
