David Patterson is blind, but he's not deaf. He would have sworn he heard Joe Biden's endorsement.
Joe Biden gushed about New York Governor David Patterson at a Democrat fundraiser on Tuesday.
“Your once and future governor of the state of New York has been extremely generous to Barack and me and has been a major part of us trying to put this economy back together.”
Everyone – and we mean everyone – interpreted the Veep’s words as a strong endorsement for the highly unpopular governor. However, Democrat New York state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is handily ahead of Patterson in all the polls.
When Biden realized he’d backed a loser, he un-gushed. Why, much to everyone’s surprise, Biden said his words were not an endorsement.
“It was a statement of friendship and admiration for the governor,” his spokesman insisted, “and was not intended as a political statement.”
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wanted nothing to do with the controversy.
“I have not seen the remarks,” he ducked. “But let me go see if I can find that and see what the context is.”
The context is simple: Joe Biden makes Dan Quayle look like Albert Einstein.

Biden is such an idiot.
I find it sickening that so many political types need to have spokesmen clarify what they said 30 minutes earlier…..
I agree, Joe Biden makes Dan Quayle look like Albert Einstein. But what is even scarier, BHO is starting to make Joe Biden look absolutely Presidential!
