Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware, told Missouri State Senator Chuck Graham to stand up. Graham is confined to a wheelchair.
and you think Gov. Palin is the Idiot? Quick question What State is the only one with a positive Budget? Still think she is unqualified?
Alaska... I love Palin - she's the best thing that could have happened to McCain's campaign. Biden definitely is an idiot.
And he's the VP candidate?
Paula, thanks for the link :)
Yes, he did.

But in all fairness, I do not think Biden knew the person was wheelchair bound.
That was real stupid of him. Considering we haven't heard a word from him and then when we do, it's that.
Was this a mistake, or just bad timing?
He was in Missouri Sept 9 '08

Crazy Biden Statement Not Quite as Crazy as it Sounds (But Still ...
Drudge is currently leading with a headline quoting Vice President Joe Biden as saying that "we need to spend money to keep from going to bankrupt." Crazy, right? Well, not exactly. Spending money in the short term to make an inefficient system more efficient can actually reduce spending in the long term. Imagine, for example, a parking garage run by attendants who collect the money. It might cost tens of thousands of dollars to install an automated system in which machines collect the parking fees. But over the long term, the automated system might then be less expensive than the continued expense of paying hourly workers wages and benefits. For manufacturers, building a new factory might require a tremendous initial outlay that could go on to earn all that money and more back over time. For a government beset with rising health-care costs, it's not actually insane to think that some up-front spending on reorganization, new technology, or some other innovation might produce efficiencies that create savings in the long term.
