Biden himself doesn't know what Biden is talking about. Words just spew from his mouth at random. And as for "He singled one woman out who he thought had beautiful eyes." Joe, how about paying some attention to the ugly people? You're discriminating. Or maybe trying to get lucky?

I think it's interesting that while the rest of the media believes VP Biden was speaking about trans rights, Chris Johnson is the only reporter who broadened his comments to mean he was talking about the entire LGBT community. Funny how you never see this kind of thing from the Blade when the topic is marriage or another gay-specific issue like DADT. Holy misappropriation, Batman!

Just a small correction, I am the Original Miss Trans New England 2009, it was my own dear Mom who spoke to the Vice President. And as the aforementioned Miss Trans New England, I would like to thank Vice President Biden for his words in support of Transgender Civil Rights! Also, for his apparently excellent taste in singling my Mom, Linda Carragher Bourne out from the crowd! Slainte Mr. Vice President! Trans Rights Now!

Linda Carragher Bourne is the mother of the first Miss Trans New England, Lorelei Erisis, for clarification.
