Is it last gaffe from Biden? - G_d would never be so cruel as to inflict silly Joe on Americans as VP: Biden loses control of his mouth again: “I shouldn’t be going off like this.” By Michelle Malkin • November 3, 2008 There are a thousand and one good reasons I call Joe Biden “the increasingly erratic, super-gaffetastic Joe Biden”. Here’s the 1,002nd reason, via FoxNews.com: BIDEN: “Hey folks, 37 more hours!” Joe Biden greeted a crowd primed for the home stretch of this long campaign with as much energy as he’s had in the last two months on the trail as well as some typical Bidenese. Telling voters in this swing state that “change is on the way,” the Democratic vice presidential candidate offered one of his now-expected random introductory tangents. The latest was about his sister, Val, his wife Jill, and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, who introduced the Bidens at the rally of 1,100 people in the gym at Longview Community College. Biden called his sister a “girl-boy,” meaning a tomboy, and then explained that girl-boys are softer than “girl-girls.” BIDEN: >“You know why I think Jill likes Claire McCaskill so well, Senator McCaskill? Jill is one of five sisters, Claire is one of three sisters. And I tell you what, you women raised with sisters are different than women raised with brothers,” Biden said as both women joined him on stage. “My sister is smart, runs every one of my campaigns; is beautiful; graduated with honors from college; is homecoming queen. But she’s a … she is what I call a ‘girl-boy’ growing up, you know what I mean?” “And I tell you what? Girl-girls are tougher than girl-boys,” he said. “But there’s one important thing I noticed.The great thing about marrying into a family with five sisters, there’s always one that loves you. ‘Cause you can count on splitting them a bit. You know what I mean? “I shouldn’t be going off like this, but — hey, folks, 37 more hours, 37 more hours,” he then said.< It’s all so mortifying and yet, the idea of Obama being chained to this fellow gaffe machine for four years would at least be some small consolation… Don’t worry, Messiah. Remember: It’s not diarrhea of the mouth. Just “rhetorical flourishes.”
