Biden in an up and coming SNL skit (or is it)

It's Friday and it's time for a good laugh.

As a reminder that all of these politicians say stupid stuff (some of it is really old-school stupid)here is a clip of Biden proclaiming a stereotype about associating Indian-Americans with 7-11 and Dunkin' Donut stores... TO AN INDIAN-AMERICAN!



Update: Oops! Biden maybe does have some old-school "Shhh-grandpa... you can't say that!" issues. As a point of curiosity I googled "Biden Black" to see if the race blunder thing is more systemic. Ends up maybe it is. You decide. Here is a Wasington Post columnist frustrated at Biden for seemingly racist comments he made about Obama! (Not just black in general, but Obama specifically.)

Do I really think Biden is a racist? I don't think so, while there are plenty of blogs out there that would disagree with me (at least their blogs would back when he was not backing Obama.) But without a doubt, I think we would continue to hear comments like these from Biden going forward... and if elected, what would that do for American if he is saying stuff like this as the Vice President?

Somewhere between these comments he seems to make and the fact that Biden siding with McCain more than Obama and Biden saying that as Vice President he would "be there for every" major political executive decision, implying something a little scary about his involvement as Vice President, virtually outing Obama as needing his coaching, why in the WORLD are these two people (Obama / Biden) in bed together?
