Biden: I don’t blame people for voting for that inmate in West Virginia instead of for us

Via the Examiner, this is actually a fairly deft, politic response to a realllly bad outcome. He can’t say “voters are stupid” or, as his party believes, “voters are racist,” so instead he absolves them and lays the whole thing implicitly on — who else? — George W. Bush. But since no one takes Biden seriously, it transforms instantly into a late-afternoon giggle about the VP kinda sorta admitting they deserve to lose to a felon. Can’t wait for that Arkansas primary.

As a little bonus on the recurring theme of “no one takes Biden seriously,” watch the new ad below from American Crossroads after you’re done with the first clip. Starts slow but you’ll enjoy the payoff, I promise.

• Bill Clinton: “You’re way better off with a shotgun than an assault weapon. Trust me.”
• Biden: Some people just like shooting guns because “it’s like driving a Ferrari”
• Carville: The pressure on Hillary Clinton for a 2016 run will be “unimaginable”
