You can count on Joe Biden!

Senator Biden is on a roll this week, staying true to his habit of tossing out verbal gaffes with impunity.

• During one of his campaign speeches, he urged a wheelchair-bound invalid to stand up so the crowd could see him.
  

• He stated that AIG should not be bailed out after running mate Obama said that they should be bailed out.
  

• During a campaign stop in coal-rich rural Ohio, he stated that there would be no clean coal utilities in an Obama/Biden administration however Obama has vowed to develop and deploy clean coal technology.
  

• He critized the Obama ad that belittled McCain for not being adept a using a computer and then backtracked.
  

• He stated that during the stock market crash of 1929, President Roosevelt went on the TV to explain to the people what happened. Two problems: Hoover was the president at the time and TV was not yet invented.
  

• He stated that Hillary would have been a better VP pick.
  

• He claimed that it was a patriot duty for wealthy American to pay higher taxes.
  

Nothing like a little comic relief during a tough campaign.  I can't help thinking that if Obama gets elected, Biden is going to be a riot when he attends head-of-state funerals.
