Biden to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham: "Stand up, Chuck"

(shakes head)

God bless him, Joe Biden is a walking gaffe factory.

good recovery!

On Biden's selection, I said Vegas was giving 4-1 odds that Biden would say something extremely stupid within 72 hours. I apologize for be off that target.

But thanks, Joe! Better late, than never! What a major dipstick.

I was there.. he was sitting in front of two curtains and no one would have been able to tell he was in a wheelchair. He recovered very well and acknowledged his mistake, he was even classy enough to walk into the audience to shake his hand. This happened on Tuesday, old news. If anyone should care, it should be Chuck Graham and it didn't bother him.

Maybe Joe Biden fancies himself as a faith healer. We have all seen Jimmy Swaggert, Oral Roberts and their ilk approach someone in the audience and give them instructions to RISE.

Was this guy even vetted by the Obama campaign?

With chuck this is old hat. He has been asked to stand dozens of times by people who have never met him.

My favorite was one of the first sessions of the year a few years ago. Cynthia Davis of St. Charles makes a point of order on the floor that the gentleman (while reading from the rule book) from Boone must be standing at his mic in order to seek recognition.

The speaker, Carl Bearden at the time, cocked his head to the side and with a grin simply said "point of order not well taken" and recognized Chuck.

Chuck's first words were "Mr. Speaker if I could stand at my mic I would, I promise"

Cynthia, intellectually challenged as she is, felt horrible and went and apologized.
