WASHINGTON – Joe Biden said Thursday he advised his family to stay off airplanes and subways because of the new swine flu, a remark that forced the vice president's office to backtrack and prompted one airline official to complain about "fear-mongering."

I don't get this one........I know Biden has a loose jaw but I see nothing wrong with this comment. We're supposed to pretend that getting on a plane or subway diminishes, not increases the chances of getting the disease. I know the transportation industry is hurting and they needed a new flu like they needed a new hole in their collective heads but sh*t happens.

And btw I saw the clip with Matt Lauer......it was a clumsy exchange on both sides.
