Can you imagine the reaction if a Republican politician had asked a wheelchair bound person to stand up and take a bow? They would have ridiculed such a person endlessly, and even dug up his/her voting record on handicapped/disability issues if it would make him/her look foolish.

It would have been on every newscast, every Sunday show, every newspaper and late-night comedy show. Not so with Biden...I was telling a group of people about this on Friday. Some were McCain supporters, some Obama supporters. No one had heard of the Biden Wheelchair Gaffe.

When people express shock about not hearing about this, ask them to consider why their sources for news would not report it.

The Dan Quayle treatment. I remember it well.
