And this time it’s the resident genius of the Senate, Joe Biden…

DES MOINES — Joseph Biden, the Delaware Democrat running for president, is a man of strong opinions. During a campaign event in a Des Moines backyard today, Mr. Biden had some choice words for President Bush and two of the Republicans running for the White House.

“This guy is brain dead,” Mr. Biden said to surprised applause and laughter from the crowd. “I know I’ll be quoted, I’ll be killed for that.

Way to elevate the debate, Senator. Seriously.

I won’t even get into how dumb it is for Joe Biden to be calling anyone dumb.
