Biden Gaffe Machine Rolls On
Senator Joe Biden may be one of the McCain campaigns biggest assets. Almost every time he opens his mouth, you can bet that he will blurt out something that will end up getting him in trouble.
Just recently, Biden said that if McCain-Palin were elected, it would be a "backward step for women." No mention of the fact that electing Biden would be a backward step in human evolution. But that's beside the point. With his slur of women fresh out of his mouth, comes this gem:

"I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have ... the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability," said Biden.... "Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?"
Biden tried to continue but found it impossible to speak with his foot jammed halfway down his throat.
This is revealing of the same mindset that is criticizing Palin for not aborting her baby. And, of course, we're talking about embryonic stem cell research not studying adult stem cells which everyone agrees is ethical and good. But Biden is so eager to smear Palin by bringing her baby into a political arguement that the facts just don't matter.
Obama must be pulling his hair out over Biden at this point. I bet he wishes he had taken Hillary anyway.
