From USAToday:
Appearing on The Today Show, Biden said this when asked about commercial air travel and Mexico: “I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places now … (If) you’re in a confined aircraft, when one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft.” He also warned against subways.
Just as The Oval and others started re-thinking travel plans to anywhere, Biden spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander e-mailed an update, noting that the specific question dealt what he would tell a family member making an air trip to Mexico this week.
Said Alexander: “The advice he is giving family members is the same advice the administration is giving to all Americans: That they should avoid unnecessary air travel to and from Mexico. If they are sick, they should avoid airplanes and other confined public spaces, such as subways.”
I see these “revise and extend” stories most every time they let Biden out in front of the cameras.

1. Professor Guvinoff:Anyone remembers the phrase “adult supervision” that was used to characterize good old Joe in relation to the junior senator form Illinois? Should, God forbids, anything happens to the president, what is the plan B?

What about staying out of elevators? I can think of lots of workers in high rise buildings that would like this…time off…a matter of health!

He has been on the wrong side of history forever, so his DNC-vaunted “experience” has little value… he doesn’t appear to have learned a thing.

Like Obama, he vehemently opposed the highly-successful Iraq “Surge” strategy- instead, Biden favored surrender and came-up with a harebrained proposal to split the country 3-ways.
The reality is that if the current administration was in-charge 4 years ago, Iraq today would be an Al Qaida Caliphate that makes Kabul of 2001 look like Disneyland.

Biden opposed every element of Reagan’s defense buildup that toppled the USSR as “dangerous”- and opposed the first Gulf war, which would have allowed Sadam to keep Kuwait and control a large chunk of the world’s oil supplies.

In the 1987 presidential primaries, he not only plaguerized British Labor leader Neil Kinnock’s speeches wholesale… but actually co-opted his entire life story, falsely claiming to have been the “first in his family to go to college” and a “coal-miner’s son”… when in fact Biden’s father was a car salesman (no surprise there, Biden looks like one too).

Joey Plugs often says things that betray a major disconnect with reality– best chain him to a telemprompter every time he heads-out the door.

If this is true it would explain an awful lot.
Apr 30, 2009 - 2:12 pm 5. midwest mama:I mean the part about his dad being a car salesman.
Apr 30, 2009 - 2:13 pm 6. Dave S.:Someone needs to buy that boy a teleprompter.
