Senator Joe Biden, Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, just can't seem to help himself. The man seems to have the political version of Tourette's Syndrome, uttering embarrassing statements at an alarming rate. There was his awkward (to put it mildly) call at a rally to have Charley stand up, and let the people see him. Only problem was, Charley was in a wheel chair. And last week's cry to a partisan crowd that there was one thing that Barack Obama cared about, and that John McCain didn't, and that was a three letter word. Jobs. Even the partisan crowd had to laugh at that one. And some did. The guy has the worst case of foot-in-mouth disease since Gary Hart(pence) challenged the press to go ahead and catch him, if they thought he was having an affair. And we all know how well that turned out for him.
But Biden's latest extemporaneous pronouncement makes all other pale in comparison:
"It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. . . . Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. . .I guarantee, it's gonna happen."
