Biden Gaffe Roundup

Via Ben Smith, there was a funny exchange between Joe Biden and a reporter during a visit to the NFL Hall of Fame today:

[Biden] then approached the print pooler and said, "you look liked you played some [football], man."

As the print pooler was saying ‘no I didn't," the candidate moved closer, tapped his upper chest and said "you need to work on your pecs."

Also, at a campaign rally Biden said that being a city councilman is harder than being a U.S. Senator.

And last but not least is Biden's least funny but potentially damaging gaffe of the last 24 hours: his claim that it's patriotic for the wealthy to pay higher taxes.

Given Biden's own stinginess, does that mean he was questioning his own patriotism?
