Biden the homophobic blowhard
Senator Jospeh Biden (D-DE) absolutely wins the Blowhard of the Day award (in my opinion) for yesterday's Alito confirmation hearing. His initial "question" to Judge Alito was 1,879 word and 13 minutes long. Joe -- didn't they teach you anything in Senator school?? Sounds bites are supposed to be short so they can fit nicely in a newscast.
In reading some blogs this morning, I stumbled upon some sexist and homophobic comments made recently by Senator Biden (hat tip Michelle Malkin). Speaking about a college tour he took with his son and an attractive young woman student:
Worried about what, Joe? Worried that your son might be gay? The horror! This is typical of Democrats -- talk a lot about how discrimination of gays is wrong, how nice gays are, how there is a nice gay couple that lives down the street, that there are two gay members of the country club and how gays are just like "regular people." Hell, a lot of them will go see Brokeback Mountain and cry at the end. But then they'll go home, and just like Senator Joe, be thankful that their son isn't gay and that he will make them proud one day and marry a "magnificently attractive, intellectually and physically beautiful young girl." Isn't this the definition of homophobic?

This magnificently attractive, intellectually and physically beautiful young girl, was a sophomore, was showing us around,a nd I fuigured, man we got a lock now. My son is gonna really be interested, and, I know, senators aren't supposed to say things like that but, ah, if he hadn't been interested, I would have been worried.
