Did He Actually Say This?

Usually Biden's presidential runs or exploratory committees last a few months and then crawl back to the credit card lined walls of their cage. He may have just set a new record for dumbest thing said AND shortest campaign in U.S. history:

Mr. Biden is equally skeptical—albeit in a slightly more backhanded way—about Mr. Obama. “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

But—and the “but” was clearly inevitable—he doubts whether American voters are going to elect “a one-term, a guy who has served for four years in the Senate,” and added: “I don’t recall hearing a word from Barack about a plan or a tactic.”

So dum, it doesn't deserve the dignity of a "b" at the end of the word.
