Well, there goes the Indian American and African American votes

[Joseph Biden] has a long history of making statements that get him in trouble. He was forced to apologize to Mr. Obama almost the moment he entered the race for president after he was quoted as describing Mr. Obama as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” a remark that drew criticism for being racially insensitive.

While campaigning in New Hampshire, Mr. Biden said that “you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”

Trust a New York Times reporter to drape gauze over any fact that suggests Barack Obama is an idiot. "Racially insensitive?" Uh, no, it's called "flagrantly displaying bigotry."

Why didn't Mr Obama just go the whole hog and pick Don Imus as his running mate? Or is he saving Imus for the position of U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations?
