Biden's A Dick...

Not a lot needs to be added to this.

Biden asks someone to stand up and be recognized.

The guy's confined to a fuckin' wheelchair.

Re: Biden's A Dick...

Come on, Steve...give the man a break on this one. This kind of mistake can happen to anyone standing at a podium in front of a large crowd and I don't believe for one moment that Biden meant to ridicule the guy. I'm sure there's plenty of things we can bash him with but this isn't one of them.

How can Biden know enough about the guy to insist that he "stand up and be recognized", but still be so fucking block-headed to not know that the guy's in a wheelchair?

He's a dick...

Maybe he was just recognizing him as a State Senator, not as a personal acquaintance. I don't know, Steve, I just think it's petty to do this and if you read the comments on the source you cited, you'll find that Biden isn't the first one make this mistake.

Typical whiney-lib bullshit.

"Yeah, but what about BUSH?"

You justify your boy's fuck up by pointing out someone else's fuck up. The obvious difference is that your boy is still fucked up, and Bush isn't running for office...

Nothing about policy, nothing about what really matters in America.

Just more "Gotcha" BS and insults.

Looks to me that you're the one thats whiney.

I don't have a 'boy', or even a candidate at this point. But I do call bullshit when I see it.

Re: Biden's A Dick...

I think it's a shame that Steve, the guy who would lambast people for not going after the Obama on the issues, has given up the fight for issues in politics.

Re: Biden's A Dick...

Yesterday or the day before I watched a Biden speech on youtube mainly on the economy and Mc Cain. It was good and he got the audiance with his speech. Especially after i watched german news: First topic the catastrophy at the finacial markets and a while after that US election cmpaign MC Cain talking about the fundamentals of the economy are strong.

I think a) This guy does not want to win this election and is really pissed that the polls are so close and he has a lead b) Mc Cain is a comedian and tries to have as much fun as he could

It will be a tough job for Plain at least if she does not perform better than the ABC interview against Biden

This was bad mistake on Biden's part.

It would have been worse if he had any malicious intent behind it.


I don't think this blooper represents how Biden feels toward the handicapped. It's certainly great political fodder though. Talk about lobbing a pitch right over the plate for the the McCain campaign.......
