Hendrix didn't say it exactly that way, but...

The latest from plagiarist and socialist Joe Biden is his absurd statement about Barak Obama being exceptional as a black candidate because he is... Well, let's allow Ms. Fouhey (one of our favorites) to explain:

HEADLINE: Biden scrambles to explain Obama comment

"February 1, 2007

NEW YORK — Sen. Joe Biden spent his first day as an official presidential candidate regretting his description of Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama as “clean,” and explaining why he had dissed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards.

The six-term Delaware lawmaker, who has said for months he’d be a candidate in 2008, formally establish his presidential committee Wednesday and launched a campaign Web site. It’s the second presidential bid for Biden, who pursued the White House in 1988.

Anyone recall how he reacted to Trent Lott's praise of Strom Thurman at a birthday party (for Thurman, a former opponent of civil rights legislation during the 50's and '60's)? Biden's words, in part: "It's insensitive as Hell... You can't be insensitive to issues of race in positions of leadership!"

Jessie Jackson called for Trent Lott's resignation back then. Today? Nothing more than a reference to Joe Biden making a "gaff".

BUT THERE'S MORE!

Just two weeks ago, Joe B called for the Confederate Flag to be taken down from the South Caroline State House! Interesting how politicians can't maintain the freshness of their own baloney, isn't it...

Here is some of the article, from CNN:

Biden calls for removal of Confederate flag

COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- Sen. Joseph Biden, a Democratic presidential hopeful joining fellow Sen. Christopher Dodd at Martin Luther King Jr. holiday events, said Monday he thinks the Confederate flag should be kept off South Carolina's Statehouse grounds.

"If I were a state legislator, I'd vote for it to move off the grounds -- out of the state," the Delaware senator said before the civil rights group held a march and rally at the Statehouse here to support its boycott of the state.

In Chicago, Sen. Barack Obama, also prominently mentioned in speculation about the White House sweepstakes in 2008, was a hit at a Rainbow/PUSH Coalition breakfast honoring King, even if he didn't deliver what much of the crowd clearly wanted: a declaration that he will run for president.

Obama received a standing ovation at the annual King scholarship breakfast when the Rev. Jesse Jackson introduced him with an approving reference to the Illinois Democrat's presidential aspirations.

"It's a long, nonstop line between the march in Selma in 1965 and the inauguration in Washington in 2009," said Jackson, the coalition's founder and a one-time presidential candidate himself.

Later, in an address at a King remembrance service at St. Mark's Church in suburban Harvey, Obama said: "I'm not making news today. I'm not here to make news. There will be a time for that."

More than six years after the Confederate flag was taken down from the South Carolina Capitol dome, its location in front of the Statehouse remains an issue at the heart of events celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.

Jim Hanks stood across from the Statehouse with about 35 Confederate flag supporters.

"We love this flag. We love our heritage," said Hanks, of Lexington.

Some carried signs saying: "South Carolina does not want Chris Dodd," referring to the Connecticut senator who, along with Biden, attended the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People rally at the Statehouse.

Hanks said that Dodd, Biden and other Democrats running for president "would probably say most anything if it would get them votes."

In 2000, as the NAACP began its South Carolina tourism boycott, the flag was flying on the Capitol dome and in House and Senate chambers. Legislators agreed to take the flag down that year, but raised the banner outside the Statehouse beside a Confederate soldiers monument.

In November, Biden joked about South Carolina's Confederate past at a Rotary Club meeting in Columbia after organizers said their Christmas party at the Department of Archives and History would include a chance to see the state's original copy of the Articles of Secession.

Biden noted Delaware was "a slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South -- there were a couple of other states in the way."
