Joe Biden, Spit Out Your Foot
February 2nd 2007 18:20
Joe Biden, Dem presidential hopeful, said something that would have killed the hopes of a conservative candidate. He referred to Barak Obama as "articulate... and clean". What? Did he mean that he was surprised a black man could be articulate? He's never heard of Colin Powell, I guess. Maybe be should get acquainted with J.C. Watts, former Republican Representative from Oklahoma. Apparently he doesn't consider Jessee Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton articulate or clean, either. Being a good liberal, even Obama holds no grudge for the remark. It would have been a whole 'nother story, if a Republican had said the same words, wouldn't it? Rush Limbaugh got fired from ESPN for a non-racial remark about Donovan McNabb a few years ago. Trent Lott caught hell for a toast he made at Strom Thurmonds 100th birthday party. But Biden can act surprised that a black candidate is "clean and articulate" without anyone breaking a sweat. I guess racism can be massively tempered by a good liberal stance on the issues.
