Joe Biden: Sexist and Homophobic?
Ok, a little over a year ago Joe Biden showed up at Princeton to give a speech. He repeatedly praised Princeton and said he wished that he had gone there. On top of that, he maid some really creepy remarks about a young woman he and his son met while 0n a tour. One remark was about how attractive she was, the other was a weird reference about how he would be worried if his son wasn’t attracted to her. Senator Biden, if you are so pro-homosexual why on earth would you be worried if your son wasn’t attracted to her? Here is a partial transcript of the speech he gave at Princeton.
JB: It’s an honor to be here. It would have even been a greater honor to have gone here. I have three children who have mercifully have all finally completed undergraduate and graduate school, and I tried to get all three of them to apply here…I committed a serious mistake, Dean. I’ve learned now, any advice I give…when you become parents, whatever school you want your child to go to, don’t mention it. And so I had been pushing Princeton, and this magnificently attractive, intellectually and physically, beautiful young girl, was a sophomore, was showing us around, and I figured we’ve got a lock now. My son is going to really be interested, and I know Senators aren’t supposed to say things like that, but if he hadn’t been interested, I would have been worried…
Today — like his Presidential wanna be John Kerry — he flip-flopped and was very clear that he didn’t like Princeton. Here’s the text:
JB: This is just by way of…you know, why some of us are puzzled, because if I was aware of it, and I didn’t even like Princeton…No, I mean I really didn’t like Princeton (laughing). Yeah, I was an Irish-Catholic kid who thought it hadn’t changed like you concluded it had. I mean, I admit. I have little…you know, one of my real dilemmas is I have two kids who went to Ivy League schools. I’m not sure my grandfather, Finnegan, will ever forgive me for allowing that to happen. But all kidding aside, I wasn’t a big Princeton fan.
Joe Biden was a Princeton fan before he wasn’t… Heh. Oh, by the way, courtesy of Radio Blogger here’s the Joe Biden Princeton waffle compilation.
