Talking Points Memo presents a glorious compendium of moronic questions asked of Joe Biden by a Florida newsanchor. Biden's response are, I think, pretty restrained given the stupidity of the questions.

I'll be sure and remember that the next time I feel like putting my own life and the lives of ( Read more... )
