Biden Gushes Over Ukraine's 'Beautiful Women'

(Newser) – Joe Biden’s visit with the Ukrainian president today in Kiev yielded an addition to the vice president’s foot-in-mouth file, the New York Post reports. “I cannot believe that a Frenchman visiting Kiev went back home and told his colleagues he discovered something and didn’t say he discovered the most beautiful women in the world,” Biden told Viktor Yushchenko. “That’s my observation.”

“It’s certain you have so many beautiful women,” the vice president added; remaining uncertain is which Frenchman Biden was referring to, or what other discovery prompted him to ignore the natural bounty of the former Soviet state. The exchange occurred in a bar, but apparently the talkative VP was drinking only Coca-Cola.

I'd worry more if he didn't notice beautiful women

Hey Citrix, is that what you said to Gov. Sanford when you found out he was cheating on his wife?

I'd rather have a VP who errs from time to time than a Prez who never errs because he is so dependent upon a teleprompter.
