Are you kidding me, some people actually had a problem with that. I see no problem with Biden's statement.

That was kinda sexist..

Some stupid, ignorant reporter, and there are there are plenty, asked the absurd question.

i call my wife and brag about her being gorgeous all the time...78 years old,
she'll always be gorgeous to me, and to tell you the truth at her age she ain't bad. more guys should brag about their wives........

Pelosi is another lunatic!

Joe Biden is a "grinning buffoon" as one DC pundit called him last year.

I call him a typical limo liberal who lives in a mansion while "serving the little guy".

Who pays for his daily commute on the Metroliner? Him? The taxpayers?

That was kinda sexist..

Only to someone whose wife's frozen expression bares the results of extensive of botox! Brains and beauty would naturally be intimidating to some!
It was a joke people! You know, like Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran! Right?

Father Diny's Alter Ego

At least he only has one home to go to! Like most people, I can relate to that. How about Mr. McGoo?

It was sexist plain and simple. It was not ill-intentioned on Biden's part, obviously, but it shows a basic view that one could perceive an intelligent and beautiful woman as "problematic".

Not the end of the world, but if I were female it would certainly and justifiably offend me.

Right now, I'm watching one of my favorite movies, High Anxiety and I didn't realize that John McCain was in it! Professor Little Old Man!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Obama Lags in Democratic Support
August 22, 2008
Barack Obama receives less support from Democratic voters than John McCain does from Republicans.

Obama is finished.

Yup, he only has one home to go to like normal people...then again, how many of us "normal" people got a $300K discount off our home from a convicted felon.

Only a moron like you JA would say, a husband calling his wife "gorgeous" is sexist. Last blog, you were calling Biden a racist, what happened give that up for a new attack?

John McCain doesn't own even ONE house. His wife & their children have 7 properties between them & their foundations. Obummer has EIGHT properties between he & his wife.

"lighten up folks. We have a planet to save."

That is the oddest linking of two thoughts. It more apropriate coming out of the mouth of superhero.

It took what 2 seconds before Biden makes a gaffe!

Biden IS a racist. That has long been established & there's absolutely NO denying it when his words have been saved for "posterity". Google Biden Clarence Thomas & you'll see.

He's also a proven plagiarist. Stay classy, Dems, stay classy.

Someone should check the property records to see who "owns" the mansion Biden lives in on 1209 Barley Mill Road in Greenville, Delaware, 19807.

You may be surprised.

Not the end of the world, but if I were female it would certainly and justifiably offend me.

As a woman I can tell you that it was not as offensive as saying that the reason that Chelsea Clinton is so ugly is because Hillary Clinton is her mother and Janet Reno is her father, or suggesting that your wife enter that beauty contest at that disgusting Sturgis Biker Convention, or calling your wife the unt word with the letter c in front of it. Now, that's offensive!

Biden IS a racist. That has long been established & there's absolutely NO denying it when his words have been saved for "posterity". Google Biden Clarence Thomas & you'll see.

Speaking as an African American, Clarence Thomas is an ass and I can tell you that many of us feel this way!

What's the matter abcnews? My comments to pithy for you!

Biden is a looney sexist scum bag.

Joe Biden has served in the US Senate since NIXON was president....he also mentioned his sons "Beau, Nick and Ashley." Ashley is his daughter.....

I don't get it. Why is that a problem? Must be an inside joke between liberal elitists like Obama America and "President" Biden.

Did I mention Biden is a RACIST SEXIST scum bag?

Does Roxanne know that John Kerry rode HIS motorcycle to Sturgis for the fest?
Bet she didn't call it disgusting then.

Joe Biden is 67 years old.

I guess that should end the "McCain is too old to be President" garbage.

PS. Google Joe Biden and plagiarism.

I saw Biden's entire speech and got some very good looks at Mrs. Biden.

It is very obvious that Biden loves his wife very much and very very proud of her. She is very smart and brainy. He just married up.

To anybody who finds fault with Biden's comments - Please just get a life. Stop being so ridiculous.

kitty: John Kerry had his mtorcycle FLOWN to Sioux Falls and an aide drove it to Sturgis. Kerry then spent about an hour trying to look hip on it (more like a phony) before the aide drove it back to Sioux Falls where it once again was shipped back to his home.

I am son of Biden and my Dad is a lout.

Where was Ms. Nancy to defend one of her own - Hillary Clinton???
Obama is a FRAUD - Biden will not help him - he will NEVER be elected.

Biden is by far the best VP choice. Biden is the leading expert on Foreign Affairs, has World Leaders and Military Generals respect,has a track record of accomplishments on leading and working on bi-partisan bills, a great debater with his knowlege of all the issues and his wonderful wit, a fighter for the middle class in not only speeches but in his actions. Bravo Obama on a great pick. Watch out Republicans, Biden knows BS when he hears it and he will call you on it.

I will give you 10 to 1 odds that Biden is in bed with Hillary Clinton to make sure Obama loses in 2008 so she has a clear field in 2012!

Biden has always been a yes man for the Clintons. He owes Bill Clinton almost his whole career. Biden will work to make sure Obama loses.

I am a widower but was married for 10 years. My wife gave me three wonderful sons. Every day that she is gone, I regret that I did not complement her. It would have gone better for her and me had I done so. I was never able to really completely show my feelings and that I regret.

Senator Biden has the right idea completely. He loves his wife and is not afraid to show the world and her that he loves her.

Good for him.

LOL! BIDEN's NICKNAME in Washington DC is 20/20 JOE because he always waits until 6 months after a crisis then pipes up with his steadfast "if people had listened to me 6 months ago this never would have happended". Don't believe me? Biden was just to Georgia and NEVER Said A WORD ABOUT HIS IDEA OF A SOLUTION. He won't for another 3 months and then his famous 20/20 hindsight will pop up and he will say he had it all figured out one weeks before Russia invaded and nobody would listen to him. Just like his lies about graduating in the top of the class, his copying others work, and lying about three degrees, Biden is a perpetual LIAR about everything.

Beto,

Obama supporters attacked McCain for complementing his wife. give it a rest buddy. we are sick of the double talk.

That was typical Joe Biden and get use to it. Biden has told others his wife is prettier than theirs, that his IQ is higher, that his kids are smarter, that he is more powerful, that people like him more. Biden has a very serious personality problem he hides but it pops out like it did today. I was waiting for him to tell the audience what his wife's IQ was!

I was surprised at the remarks, but then I was also surprised when Joe Biden got picked. He's up there in age like McCain and Biden has been around a long time and is certainly representative of the established order in Congress and Washington. So much for making issues out of McCain's age and Obama's emphais on change.

This Hillary CLinton supporter just mailed John McCain $50 in protest of the stupid idea that a garbage head know it all like Joe Biden is a better selection than Hillary Clinton!

GO HILLARy! Take this nomination at the convention and if they won't give it to you who deserves it then we as your army of voters will award it to you in 2012 by voting for McCAIN! 5 MILLION of us are ready to vote for McCain!

Hillary-worshippers are the second-dumbest people on the planet.

Bush-worshippers are the worst.

Biden cant help barack Obama. He's still going to lose the election to Mccain.

Hillary may get the nomination. There's a pending federal lawsuit, brought by a Hil-raiser & 9/11-truther,that challenges Obama's eligibilty to be POTUS, based suspicion that Barry was born in Kenya & having Indonesian citizenship.
I hope this works

I am a woman. I have a PhD. I resemble that comment. ;-) Seriously, as a woman with a PhD I found it hilarious. Only those who are jealous of Biden or his wife would find it sexist.

Pelosi makes my skin crawl

Sorry Bopeep,

Biden was calling for stronger NATO support for South Ossetia and Georgia all the way back in March--when he saw all this coming. (Check the Senate press releases before you post ridiculous ideas...)

Pelosi had time to comment on some idiot thing Joe Biden said.YET AGAIN!

But could not find time to come back and vote on energy saving issues.

Pelosi go back under the rock you came out of.

There was a movie made about Senators America and Biden: "Send in the Clowns"

This election season is ridiculous. I can't understand why people are so concerned about Biden's words, or how many houses McCain had, or lapel flag pins, or anything else the media deems newsworthy and prime indicators of a candidates' viability. You're honestly going to play into the attacks (on either side)? WHO CARES?! Read about the issues, read books! Then make up your OWN mind as part of an informed electorate.

I think it is great! It's a sad day in America when a husband can't give a call-out to his beautiful, supportive wife without the extremists coming out to comment.

Bart- Biden is 67 years old.

I guess that should end the "McCain is too old to be President" garbage...

The importance of a decent education - 72 - 67 = ?....

Biden = VP / McCain = P

Biden = Sharp as a tack / McCain = Sharp as a beachball

Of course some reporter with no sense of humor would ask that question.

To spell it out: The underlying point of Biden's joke was that his wife is smart, not fitting into the ancient pretty/innocent/clueless woman stereotype, and that he admires her for it. It is the kind of joke that you only make about people who you genuinely love and admire.

His remark insinuates that Dr. Biden took her own initiative in the pursuit of her doctorate degree, so she could arguably serve as a hero for educated women. If Obama's campaign knows what's good for them, they will capitalize on Dr. Biden's status and attempt to employ her in winning over both older women and women who are seeking higher education. The only thing they need to turn Senator Biden's gaffe on its head is for Dr. Biden to tout her credentials as an obvious triumph in the cause for women's liberty.

Besides, most older, married women will recognize Biden's joke as a mark of a relatively equitable and stable relationship. It simply won't be useful in scaring older women away from Obi. In fact, they might find it endearing. The worst thing Biden revealed about himself here was that he's a bit of a boor, but this could serve to compensate for Obama's hitherto lack of aggression against McCain.

I honestly think that Obi's people should pursue juxtaposing McCain with President Medvedev of Russia. Everyone knows that Dmitri Medvedev is nothing but a marionette for Vladimir P.U.-tin. Obi's people could have taken shots at McCain without even mentioning him directly, which is very valuable in politics.

Ah yes, Joe Biden. The poster boy for term limits!!!!

Plugs Biden - whatta guy!
Didja see that picture of him giving a smackaroo to Michelle Obama? WOW - is he sexy or -

I'm sorry; my gag reflex kicked in. Gotta retch now...

"You know what," said Pelosi "I'm going to tell you something: lighten up folks. We have a planet to save."

-----

Yup, your Political Jesus wants to, actually, destroy the planet, by driving his electric plug-ins. The electricity is generated in 70% by burning coals and natural gas. If all cars were driven by "such electricity", the planet will warm up by 5 degrees due to the green gas, i.e., CO2, Dr. Jill Biden will confirm, generated by Zero-bama's strategy.

A 5 degree increase in temperature will raise the See level by 15 feet, enough to emerge half Manhattan in water.

Oh grow up you Obama and Biden haters. Oh my goodness, what's wrong with you all.

I would like to know why people (the media included) want to make a big deal about Biden joking about how it's a problem that his wife has a doctorate - not much was made of McCain saying that he encouraged Cindy to compete in the "Miss Buffalo Chip Pageant"! If I was going to be offended it would be by McCain's offering to have his wife in a topless beauty contest. I just couldn't believe he said that.

Is this the same Pelosi that just bailed for the month? What an idiot she is!

Pelosi is a "c" word. If McCain had said the same thing, she'd be playing the sexism card.

I can not believe people are making fun of what was clearly an attempt to lighten up an acceptance speech.

When the hell did America become a country full of people with their panties in a wad??

"A planet to save"? What a freaking moron! Talk about a face that has had a lot of work.

This is a very scary fact.

Nancy Pelosi supported Obama (not Hillary).

Nutty Nancy is a VERY SCARY person. She is the worst Speaker of the House ever.

Nancy Pelosi is next in line for the Presidency if anything happens to both the President and Vice President.

OMG -- Talk about not qualified. Her 100 day promise was a joke. Why do the voters of SF elect such a person with so many loose screws.

"Biden is the leading expert on Foreign Affairs, has World Leaders and Military Generals respect,has a track record of accomplishments on leading and working on bi-partisan bills, a great debater with his knowlege [sic] of all the issues and his wonderful wit, a fighter for the middle class in not only speeches but in his actions. Bravo Obama on a great pick. Watch out Republicans, Biden knows BS when he hears it and he will call you on it."

I've read many amusing things in blog comments, but this wins the all-time prize. I will give the commenter one thing: Joe Biden certainly does know B.S. when he hears it... He should, given how much of it comes out of his silly face.

C'mon, folks. Lighten up. Wait until Biden cuts loose with some of his real tall tales. You'll have plenty to play with then. Lay off these silly attacks on him until he does something to deserve them. And, he will do something. Just be patient for a week or so.

Pelosi has no business making any statements. She needs to shut up! She abrogated her right to free speech when she so childishly cut off the lights and microphones as she walked out the door on her five week vacation to promote her book (loser). She and her fellow travelers should be more concerned about the investigations that are bound to surface in the future.

PELOSI et al, should read very carefully, Title 18,Part 1,Chapter 115,Sec.2385. Particularly the last three paragraphs. Pelosi and company..."YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOUR UP AGAINST"

Sadly Pelosi does think her job is to "save the planet"... and with the planet hanging, what wouldn't you do?

Of course that means Pelosi will do anything, anything at all regardless what it is, in order to fulfill this goal.

Who cares if you destroy the American economy, and bring us back to the level of agrarian farming as the highest level of technology... you're "saving the planet".

Of course it doesn't make a difference to the planet one way or the other; but it may make a difference to Americans.

Between Jill and Michelle, Biden got it dead right!

Speaker Pelosi needs to stop the saran wrap spa, or at least not wrapping around her head.

I cannot wait to see the super hero outfits Nance is gonna make all her minions (read: Fools) when the disembark on their first mission.

Obama is on the road OUT. Biden was a poor choice. Obama missed the boat; he needed to pick Hillary....to assure a WIN in November. Today was such a "downer" for our great country. Now, McCain and his VP will WIN in Nov. for sure!! I'm a democrat..BUT, I'm voting for McCain and his VP.

oh great, get ready for This Week with Cokie Roberts and see what anti-Obama, pro-Hilary thing she has to say today; we have an election underway & all that self-absorbed Hilary supporters can do is try to pick over events to find another grievance; remember Cokie calling Obama exotic in Hawaii coming from 1 of the 50 states of America? (shallow Republican talking point passing for "expert" analysis) - how about being the daughter of a Senator? if exotic means exeedingly rare (not to mention privileged) background, then far more exotic

Let me explain this joke to you neocons who don't get it.

Biden was laughing about the fact that you conservatives think it great when women are beautiful, but "a problem" when they also have a Ph.D. in Education.

McCain's campaign calling Harvard grad, and next President, Obama a "pointy headed, Arugula eating professor" and laughing about tire guages are illuminating. The Republicans have made stupidity into a virtue by running a Navy brat who graduated 5th from the bottom in his Academy class and likely a venture capitalist plunderer who believes Utah produces prophets rather than close-minded idiots.

"Biden was laughing about the fact that you conservatives think it great when women are beautiful, but "a problem" when they also have a Ph.D. in Education."

Yeah, they think that all the time. Ask Condi. I've seen more Democrats bash her than I can remember.

You can take Joe Biden out of the dufus, but you can't take the dufus out of Joe Biden. Furthermore, Biden's wife crack is serious business and Nancy Pelosi should stay away from it.

This was so predictable. So much for change. I'm in indepent voter, and the Biden choice (snore) is typical WA.

I can't believe it, but i'm actually agreeing with Pelosi. There's nothing offensive in that remark, this is stupid. If anyone is offended by it, they need to get a life, and get the hell away from politics, because I for one do not want that person anywhere near the reins of control! Little wonder that it was Clinton people who would find it offensive, the same people who have/had no issues with the president seducing a 21 year old intern.

Nancy Pelosi needs to worry sbout Cindy Sheehan and nothing else. I wish there was a 3rd candidate that would beat both of these losers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my wife Jill, who you'll meet soon, is drop dead gorgeous," said Biden.

After his wife commented that his hair was thinning on top, McCain called her a c**t...in public.

Yeah, being called gorgeous is so close to being called a 'c**t.

Poor Cindy.

Its sad that the vice presidential candidate wrote all the Republican ads for them. Just wait, it'll be a fight between the 2 to see who gets more TeeVee time. I am interested in Biden's home compound, if as they say, he's only worth $150,000. Maybe he's friends with Rezko too. Or is it Bank of America holding the house note for him so the little guy can't declare bankruptcy.

Biden is a train wreck, but then again so is McCain.

Wow! I don't know much about Biden but his remark smells like a sexist remark. Perhaps, that is why Obama picks him.

WOW WOW WOW; ARE AMERICANS THIS DOMB, THE GUY WAS HAVING A NICE TIME AND EVEN SAID HIS WIFE IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS; N SINCE U GUYZ ALREADY HAVE A PERCEPTION THAT HE CAN FLIP; U TRY TO MAKE A MEAL OF EVRYTHING: I SEE U GUYZ ARE CONFUSED LIKE MCCAIN:

THE HOUSES ARE NON-ISSUES! BIDEN/OBAMA LIVE IN MANSIONS. ALSO, BIDEN SHOULD GO HOME AT NIGHT AS LIVES NEXT TO DC. McCAIN MADE $400,000+ LAST YEAR WHILE OBAMA MADE 10Xs THAT. FORGET ANY OF THE RICH MEN SPEAKING ABOUT THE MIDDLE CLASS AND POOR!

NANCY PELOSI IS SO UNPOPLULAR THAT HER BOOK SALES TANKED SO BADLY. WHAT A HUGE LET DOWN THIS WOMAN HAS BEEN. OBAMA IS GOING TO BE AN EVEN BIGGER LET DOWN.

Democrats are such lying hypocrites. And to you fancy Nancy Pelosi, all this World needs to be saved is to have you and your party with all of it"s immoral platforms vanish from the earth. Weather you and your kind believe it or not there is a day of judgement coming and "YOU WILL ANSWER" to an allmighty GOD weather you believe it or not for your actions, as we all will.

McWinner, just keep running the Biden adds from the Demo primaries, we can't loose. With all the hype and distorted media coverage Olooser should be 30 points ahead, "NOT BEHIND" in the poles.. I'm so happy, a whole week of Comedy Central.
