Biden attempting to be his own man and criticize the Obama campaign for their McCain ad:Evidently he didn’t agree with the Obama campaign making fun of the handicapped:

Couric: And you guys haven’t been completely guilt-free, making fun of John McCain’s inability to use a computer. Biden: I thought that was terrible, by the way. Couric: Why’d you do it then? Biden: I didn’t know we did it, if I’d have known we did we’d have never done it, I don’t think Barack, you know, I just think that was, ah Couric: Did Barack Obama approve that ad? He said he did, right? Biden: Yeah, the answer is, I don’t, I don’t think anything was intentional about that, they were trying to make another point.

But evidently, on reflection, he doesn’t think it’s that bad because McCain brought it on himself:

I was asked about an ad I’d never seen, reacting merely to press reports. As I said right then, I knew there was nothing intentionally personal in the criticism of Senator McCain’s views which look backwards not forwards and are out of touch with the new economic challenges we face today. Having now reviewed the ad, it is even more clear to me that given the disgraceful tenor of Senator McCain’s ads and their persistent falsehoods, his campaign is in no position to criticize, especially when they continue to distort Barack’s votes on an issue as personal as keeping kids safe from sexual predators.

It’s amazing what people will do to fight for the opportunity to attend the funeral of world leaders.
