Most likely he plagiarized the comment anyway - so he really can't be blamed for the content.

Didn't he declare his candidacy in right after the '04 election?

Biden is a intellectually brilliant guy who has never known when to stop commenting. I think he would be great as a Sec. of Defense if he wouldn't give press conferences.

To be fair that comment isn't as bad as the headlines make it out to be. While I don't like his politics I do like how he is calling out Obama and Clinton for not having any solutions to the problems they bring up. I can respect that.
I think he knew exactly what he was doing. And it was a good move. One of the big things conservatives have been saying (and it's true) is that the Dem candidates talk and talk but never offer any solutions. Biden is clearly distinguishing himself as someone who doesn't fit that role. Smart. I don't like his solution to Iraq but at least he has one.
Not sure on Sec. of Defense but at least he has an idea of what he thinks would be a good plan of action. Again, I don't agree but like that he offers a solution.

That is true. He is sorta like the Dems answer to Newt. Brilliant guy who really gets it, but has a habit of putting his foot in his mouth. 
Again, you might not like one or the other but you have to give them both the respect for coming up with solutions instead of just crying about things.

you're making too much sense to be here...
go outside - beat your head against a brick wall - take some mind-altering medication - get talking points from either Fox News or NPR - and report back.
TIA.

How many times is he going to run for President before the 'genius' gets it that he will not be elected. If he is sooo brilliant how come he can't even see that he does not have a chance to be president.

he's much too smart for the "chicken spread" sandwich eating NASCAR crowd to vote for..
they prefer their candidates simple-minded with an affinity for clearing brush and mangling the English language.

Exactly how smart can he be if he doesn't realize how ridiculous that hair weave/toupee thing he wears, looks like a deceased possum.

I feel like I make too much sense to be here every single day Bob. Every day....
I really need my own talk show. The RCMB would get some play I can tell you. Not too much though or my show would be on at 1 am.

Let's give Obama credit for not holding a grudge against Biden's condescending remarks.
After all he is a very clean and articulate fellow.
