Biden Says He Finds Palin "Attractive"
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 10:09 PM
Is it really customary for one party's vice presidential candidate to be commenting on the appearance of the other'ss?  I'm just asking because Joe Biden has seen fit to inform us that he finds Sarah Palin "attractive."

Hm.  Did George H.W. Bush offer an opinion on Geraldine Ferraro's looks?  Or John Edwards on Dick Cheney's?

When did this become okay?

Biden Comments
Whenever Joe Biden speaks I wonder if some of those hair plugs were not pushed in just a little too deep.

Well, she is ...
I read the exchange in which Senator Biden said that Governor Palin is attractive, and the comment didn't bother me in context. I think it has been blown out of proportion and we should keep hammering on actual issues.

WrayJay, you're right!
I found the 60 minutes clip on CBS.com and Biden does cut off BO. It's right at the beginning when they are being interviewed together in a hallway at Investco. That 30 seconds of the interview reminds me of two drunk guys in a bar telling fish stories. Biden plays the uglier drunk that thinks he looks better by complimenting his buddy. Geez, Biden is so slimey!

Biden says Palin attractive
I'm GOP. Palin IS attractive, and smart, and knowledgable, and cool, and progressive, and thrifty, and... so what's the problem?

JOE AND 'O' ARE DISTRACTED LOOK OUT GALS
ALL THIS DETAIL IS BECOMING A SOAP OPERA, hA!

PLEASE NO MONKEY BUSINESS, JUST WORDS!
TWO BIRDS OF A FEATHER, BIDEN LIKES SARA AND OBAMA PLANTS AN ARDENT KISS ON JOES WIFE!, HA!
WrayJay writes: Monday, September, 01, 2008 12:08 AM
He said his wife is "drop dead"
Let's just wait and see what else Joe's going to say. I was taken aback by his comment that his wife is "drop dead" gorgeous at his first speech. Do we really need to know that and, frankly, who cares!

Did anyone see the 60 minutes interview with Obiden tonight? The very beginning was priceless: it showed Biden interrupting Obama and the look on Obama's face was pure "gold". Not too happy to have the interview interrputed by his #2 man.

Go Joe Go.........

Could be worse
He could've called her the "C" word, like McCain did to his wife Cindy.

Carol, Ted, Bob and Alice..
...or whatever that 70's movie was. Biden thinks Barack is clean and articulate. Biden thinks Palin is attractive. Obama kisses Biden's wife on the lips after knowing her for 3 days. Michelle scowls in the gallery.

I'm sure Michelle didn't really care about the kiss per se; she was probably thinking: Dude, what are YOU thinking? Once again, you look stupid.

Biden's comments are NOT compliments. Comments about appearance are intended to diminish and patronize.

Oh, dear God in Heaven
This is lame, lame, lame! What is wrong with you GOPnuts? Do you really think that pulling this kind of imbecilic tripe is going to work? You guys are truly evil.
kristin writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 11:30 PM
Yeah but....
Does Biden's wife know he is smitten by Governor Palin? His wife is really no real prize to look at. Governor Palin is prettier.
Big G writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 11:17 PM
Who cares?


This is a non story.
vonryansexpress writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 11:13 PM
But does he find her to be "clean."
Joe Biden can't get off the physical reflections.

Hey, the great news ... she is attractive and Joe Biden is smitten. Meow.
Perceptor II writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 11:02 PM
It's a compliment.
It might be a good thing if Biden thinks her attractive. I'm thinking the debates here. Men do get a little tongue-tied in the presence of a pretty lady.
miss vicky writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 10:37 PM
Empty Suit needs new image, Ladies man?
Saras attractive yes and thats a typical, Joe Biden, thinking out loud remark. What is strange was the Obama smootch on stage, when he planted one on Bidens wifes lips?! Poor taste to say the least! Obama, full of surprise and disappointment!
Oregon Elephant writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 10:21 PM
Let's not forget...
the MANY comments about Hillary Clinton's appearance...(hair, pantsuits, etc)
Oregon Elephant writes: Sunday, August, 31, 2008 10:20 PM
Actually...
lots of people have commented on Obama...on his svelte frame and his youthful, fit appearance compared to McCain. Isn't that basically what they're referring to, his looks? And what about all the comments about Edwards? Or Mitt Romney, for that matter (the "ken doll" comments?)? What candidates look like is actually a pretty common topic of discussion.
