    Was Joe Biden’s description of Obama openly racist?

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

    I guess sensibilities vary.

    But my thoughts for including him on that list. ... He's a guy who insisted on flying the confederate flag at his concerts for years and argued there was nothing offensive about it. He punched out a DJ at a strip club (pled guilty / anger management classes, etc.), has several drunken rampage incidents in his past, had a sex tape of him getting blown by groupies that he fought to keep from being released by a porno film company. ...

    To my way of thinking, that is "negative stuff that usually accompanies fame and fortune."

    But if you disagree, so be it.

    EDIT: Oh, I forgot to include the public fight with Tommy Lee when he was dating Pamela Lee Anderson. Oh, and the fight he got into at a Waffle House (pled guilty there, too).

    See, I’m just looking for a baseline.

    The Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden remarks were public and not in dispute.

    But, what we get is people giving the folks they like the benefit of the doubt.

    Now, I may be as guilty of this as anyone, but how do we impartiality judge something like this?

    There’s no standard.

    If you can’t kill with impunity, what’s the point?

    It's what you *do* with the baseline.

    It's remarkable how quickly you have come around to Lizza's level of sourcing in the New Yorker piece. What changed?

    Helen Thomas? Openly anti-Semitic when she said Jews should get the hell out of Palestine and go “home” to Poland?
