on biden

maybe people will call him racist or whatever, but at least he says what's on his mind and doesn't worry about the aftermath.

they just played on the today show the clip where he said something about 7-11 and having a "slight indian accent." that made me laugh out loud.

i also watched him on the daily show. he does not seem "malicious" to me - he seems like he just says things and he only thinks about them as they're coming out of his mouth.

he has this great wide, infectious smile, and he can laugh at himself. good move going on the daily show; otherwise i wouldn't know this about the smile.

but even if i had not seen him, i would still have written off his comments as "not really offensive" and, "people are making a bigger deal of this than should be made" and as tim russert said this morning, maybe obama even was pressured to have a stronger response to it (which is tool-sim and i don't care if you're my senator; don't be a tool, obama!)
