Ok, so, Senator Biden misspoke about Senator Obama. Interesting when this happens between two democrats. Seems they have a much better sense of humor about it. Than, say, if a Republican had said it.
Here's an article for those living in caves. or for those who don't watch the Daily Show. Interesting to note how quickly Biden showed up on the Daily show to have Stewart attempt to add levity to the situation and pull the guy's campaign out of the shitter.

But my favorite part was this:
Obama states:
"I didn't take Senator Biden's comments personally, but obviously they were historically inaccurate," he said.
"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."
Um, I would. At least 3 people in that list are some of the most annoying, extremist, I'm sorry, Inarticulate people I've ever been exposed to.
Yeah, I said it.
Also, here's the deal. When Biden said what he said, I knew that he wasn't implying that other black people are "dirty". He was saying that he's new, fresh, and untarnished by American Politics. So far.
But, you know, it's campaign season, so everyone has to watch what they say...lest you say something that someone else can use to assassinate your character as a human being.
It's all bullshit.

Yeah, it's all "Oopsies, not what I meant" and "Of course you didn't! Here, I gift-wrapped this benefit of the doubt for you". For now.
This race is gonna get really ugly. And following the trend of Christmas trees showing up in stores around Halloween... probably sooner than later.
