some of our best friends are named obama

john amato at c&l points out an incredibly offensive thing that joe biden said about barack "to the future" obama:

joe biden's presidential campaign may be over before it started: here's the unbelievably stupid thing that the delaware democrat said about barack obama, in an interview published today:

“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.”
he probably doesn't even realize what he said was offensive. should he be given the benefit of the doubt?
uh, no.

what storybooks did he read as a little kid? goldilocks and the three little nicely groomed black people?

They didn't even mention the part where Biden said, "And that Obama sure can dance, can't he?"

I am not going to defend Biden because he is so incredibly insensitive as a whole but, I do think that by clean, he meant not touched by scandal like alot of politicains. This is not to excuse his remark about first articulate, as that is what is so wrong in the statement.
