Noted Senatorial windbag Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware announced his candidacy for President and immediately took aim at Senator Obama, describing him as "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy." 

Of course, Senator Biden is trying to draw a distinction between Mr. Obama and past candidates Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Carol Moseley Braun, implying that Mr. Obama is not "as black" as the others and therefore should not be conceded the African-American vote.  So the pompous Delaweenian, smart enough, at least, to know he couldn't call Obama "the whitest African-American to run for President," instead thought he could sneak in "bright and clean." 

Luckily for America, Biden's candidacy should last about as long as Emma Faust Tillman's reign as the oldest person alive.
