To be fair to Biden, though, the original question asked him "wouldn't you use your leverage" -- which precipitated the "I" response.

Being fair to Biden, would be pointing out how stupid and sophmoric the criticism is.

"Someone want to tell Biden that HE can’t send troops anywhere?" a congressional GOP aide emailed First Read. "He’s not commander-in-chief."

WOW! Suddenly the GOP wants to make clear the distinction between POTUS and VP? No one on the right felt obliged to tell Bush and Cheney that!

I will take Joe Biden's verbal slips in public to VP Cheney secretly running the country from an "undisclosed location".

And committing treason, authorizing torture, and (alledgedly)overseeing international death squads.

And his current efforts to undermine President Obama in a futile effort to gerrymander a "legacy" for himself.

But that's just me.

I really hope you (congress and the media) are not missing the point: it's not how Biden spoke but what he said. Grow up already.

WOW! The GOP is desperate. Their leaders on talk radio and on the hate websites are inciting their followers to ambush cops and attack immigrants. You can almost here
the GOP leadership practicing their salutes,"Heil Limbaugh".

Good to see the GOP hard at work coming up with ideas about how to solve issues like health care, the economy, and energy.

Eh...Nothin' but blah blah here. Biden didn't say anything bad in the interview. The GOP is a wounded dog and is snapping at anything close to it. The Dem's would do it too if the roles were reversed.

It's fun watching Democrats when they get a question they don't like. They never expect it because the media is always playing paddy-cake with them, but once in a while, like in this case, one tough question slips through. Then the Democrats like Biden here go through the 12 step program with anger, denial, bargaining, and depression. Democrats never seem to get to acceptance.

This is almost as funny as watching Barney Frank get questioned, and buried, by the Harvard law school student the other day. Yet another youtube moment for Barney. More spittle flew from his mouth that day then any other time this year so far.

So.... Biden responds with the correct English use of "I" when asked a question, and the Republicans (and you, by posting this) criticize him for speaking proper English?

Seriously, the story / political "oops" here is what, exactly? That the Republicans are stupid maybe? And you are foolish for giving them airtime over it?

JJ Jonesy, Wash. DC — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 20:56:56 GMT

BIDEN: I am prepared to send American troops to protect the United States of America to kill al Qaeda . .

Just another gaffe on the pile of gaffes for Super Joe. Joe, if you want to send someone somewhere, send your pool boy Raul out to get the mail.

So, a reasonable person can conclude this entry is meaningless? unfair? filler? Yet another example of how fall the 4th estate has fallen?

Time to send Joe to that 'Undisclosed location' Cheney always went to. You may have not liked what Cheney had to say, but at least he was coherent and made sense. Joe is always off in his own little world, confused, and alone.

"Someone want to tell Biden that HE can’t send troops anywhere?" a congressional GOP aide emailed First Read. "He’s not commander-in-chief."

------------------------------------------------

Didn't the GOP make a big deal during the campaign about how important the role of the Vice President was in being "one heartbeat away" from being President?

Seriously, I've been reading how all the right wingnuts on this site all throughout President Obama's trip are pulling their hair out talking about how President Obama is being disrespectful towards what President Bush did and how he needs to shut up and not criticize what his predecessor did.

What about Darth Cheney? Should he not be held to the same standard?

Yet you have no issue when he blathers on about President Obama making us less safe.

...and the hypocrisy continues!

Actually, I think your cutting Biden too much slack there. He was asked if he would use his leverage not if he would send troops in.

As much as I like the Obama-Biden team, this is another major Biden gaffe.

Like Biden doesn't realize that HE can't send troops anywhere. He's talking about what HE would recommend as a team member and everyone knows it...but why not split hairs if it might divert attention from the Party of NO.

The White House is now denying that the president bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at a G-20 meeting in London, a scene that drew criticism on the right and praise from some Arab outlets.

So, what was Obie doing? Tying his shoe?
