He Said What?

You never know what will come out of Joe Biden's mouth, and yesterday was a good example. During the swearing in ceremonies for new senators, Biden said things that would normally have the hypersensitive media demanding an immediate resignation.

As Heidi Heitkamp, North Dakota's first female senator, was having her picture taken, Biden joked, "Spread your legs, you're going to be frisked." Can you imagine the media's reaction if Dick Cheney had said something like that to a female senator?

When it was time for Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), the Senate's only black member, to pose with the vice president, Biden seemingly developed an awkward accent as he introduced himself to members of Scott's family.

How Democrats get away with these patronizing accents is unbelievable. That wasn't Biden's first time mocking minorities. But being a good liberal, Biden gets a free pass yet again.
