God Love Ya, Joe Biden

Joe Biden was giving shout-outs to local lawmakers during a rally in Columbia, Missouri, yesterday, when he got to Missouri senator Chuck Graham. “Senator Chuck Graham is here! Stand up, Chuck! Let ‘em see ya!” he shouted spiritedly. And then: A look of absolute horror crosses his face. Graham is a paraplegic. “Oh, God love ya, what am I talking about?” Biden stammers, and then tries to save. “You can tell I’m new,” he quips. “Everybody else stand up. Stand up for Chuck, everybody!” Nice.

God Love Ya, Joe Biden
