Biden's been a lot of fun this week.

First, he denounces his own campaign's ad, followed by a retraction.

Next, he says, "No coal in America," apparently forgetting Pennsylvania's coal industry.

And then the best: he claims Franklin Roosevelt got on the television in 1929 to explain the stock market crash. Only problem was, TV was scarce (who hasn't heard of FDR's "fireside chats"?) and Hoover was president.

Funny stuff. Can we see more of this guy, please?

The best one is, "Stand up Chuck, oh what am I saying. God bless you Chuck. YOu sure make others stand up." It was something like that and quite funny.

The guy is very bright and yet very approachable and normal.

Interesting you think so, given that you'd be crawling all over McCain were he to make similar errors.

"FDR on TV in 1929? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! And he can't even use email! LOL!!!!!!!!!"

He's an honorable, decent man, but John McCain truly believes, truly believes that you are corporate America's problem," he said to the trial lawyers. "And thank God you are."
Biden said that he's "done more than any other senator combined" for trial lawyers.
"There are two people -- you've heard me say it before -- two groups that stand between us and the barbarians at the gate," Biden said. "It's you and organized labor. That's it. That is it. So, mark my words, mark my words, if we lose this election, you are going to continue to see a continuation of the onslaught on everything we care about. For real. For real. So, I'm not only thanking you for your help. I would think you're all absolutely brain-dead if you didn't help. And I mean it."
