Biden: Palin's good-looking
Posted: 05:15 PM ET

From CNN Political Producer Alexander Marquardt


Biden and Obama campaigned in Ohio Sunday.

TOLEDO, Ohio (CNN) – Joe Biden says there are obvious differences between himself and fellow vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but they’re not just on policy. She’s good-looking.

“There’s a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent,” Biden said at an outdoor rally Sunday, getting ready to hit the GOP ticket for their economic policies.

“She’s good-looking,” he quipped.

“You are gorgeous!” a female supporter in the audience shouted out. Biden asked her to repeat it into the microphone so his wife at home would hear.

“I haven’t heard that in a long, long, long time,” Biden said as the audience laughed. “Being around this lean young-looking guy is making me feel pretty old, you know what I mean? I thought I was in pretty good shape until I hung out with this guy.”

13. They can say it all they want, but if the McCain-Palin camp itself complained -
they'd look even more ridiculous than they already do.

16. Whew, I thought it was the McCain campaign itself that called it sexist...
...it was only rightwing bloggers that called it sexist. I'm surprised they could string together enough letters to make enough words to make a sensible, cogent sentence. Happily most rightwing readers either won't know what "sexist" means or they'll think it's in reference to their own candidates since they're heard them called that so many times.

15. I guess Rush Limbaugh must also be a sexist when he called Palin "babe"...

Alaskan: Governor Babe for VP!



February 28, 2008


<snip>

RUSH: Yeah, plus she's a housewife, before that, she's a babe. I saw a picture.

CALLER: (laughing)

RUSH: Well, it's undeniable.

CALLER: Well, it is undeniable, and that's why the paradox is there for me. I think that because she's intelligent, number one, conservative maybe number one also, but she is photogenic, she is likable, she is engaging. When you meet her, she is interested in you, she speaks well.

RUSH: By the way, wait a second. I'm not diminishing any of those things by pointing out that she's a babe.

CALLER: Oh, no, no, no.

RUSH: The babe is the icing on the cake aspect, something the Democrats can't claim on their side.

20. Why not?
Wasn't it Biden that had the racist card hurled against him by bloggers when he termed Obama "articulate" and "clean"?

Lots of people said he couldn't have meant anything bad by it. Lots of people disagreed, saying that they *knew* because, well, they knew, and if you disagreed, then you, too, were racist.

Inconsequential aspects shouldn't be made consequential, even to belittle a person on account of their race or gender for political purposes.

8. I can just hear the RW outrage over Biden's "sexism"
What? You RW can make stupid fucking remarks over how hot she is and how much of a MILF (now a confirmed GILF) but a Democrat can't be truthful in that she's attractive? It wasn't even a sexualized remark. It was just blunt, like Joe is.

19. Or perhaps "I want to have my daughter's baby"? Sorry, too tempting considering the Palin rumors!
