The GMA website ignores Biden's Obama gaffe...

[Jackpine Radical]

Biden called Sen. Barack Obama "incredible."

"He's fresh. He's new," he said. "I think experience does matter. … But it also relates to judgment. … He's a really incredible person."

Although Biden has been criticized for being long-winded, he said that politicians too often reduced things to sound bites. The sophisticated American public, he said, deserves more than that.

1. There's no gaffe.

Listen to the actual audio of Biden's 'gaffe.' There's a big difference between the actual audio and how its been transcripted.

2. How is the audio different?

Here's what was transcribed:

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
