I don’t know - didn’t Biden announce in the morning and then make that “clean, articulate” comment by that same afternoon?

You have an impeccable memory!

From CNN (2007): Sen. Joe Biden planned to spend Wednesday focusing on his official announcement that he was running for president, but the Delaware Democrat instead found himself defending remarks he made to the New York Observer about his Democratic opponents.

The article was published the same day. And it was the "clean, articulate" comment that got the lefties all up in arms. Until Joe became the running mate. Then they forgot all about that one, and the one he made about not being able to go into a 7-11 without having a slight Indian accent.
