 Thu Feb 01, 2007 12:32 pm Biden explains, apologizes for comments |
|
| Quote: | | Backpedaling furiously, Sen. Joe Biden said he really meant to say "fresh" instead of "clean" in describing Democratic presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama. Appearing on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" late Wednesday, Biden said: "Look, the other part of this thing that got me in trouble is using the word clean.

Yeah, I saw that on the Daily Show. I'm glad he cleared that up. That certainly did sound...offensive, especially when I'm rooting for Senator Obama.

I didn't hear about the comment until he made the apology. I do fiind it interesting though that he made the apology on the Daily Show. It seems that more and more politicians are using it as a way to communicate with a very vocal demographic of voters.
However, he did sound sincere in his apology, which is good
