VIDEO Senator Joe Biden Offends Indians
Senator Joe Biden's mouth and brain decided to part company recently during a trip in New
Hampshire.
The 2008 presidential wannabe discussed the presence of Indians in his home state of Delaware by saying:
"You cannot go into a Dunkin' Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent."
Biden then tried to explain himself by noting the significant contribution Indians have made in technology. However, the damage had been done. Damage Biden's spin doctor had a tough time digging the senator out of.
"The point Senator Biden was making is that there has been a vibrant Indian-American community
in Delaware for decades," she said.
Biden has an extensive history of placing his foot in his mouth. During his 1988
presidential bid he used (word for word) a speech by then British Labour leader Neil Kinnock several times.
