From CBS News' Ryan Corsaro:

(ATHENS, OHIO) - Remember when Joe Biden was arrested? We didn't, but he told the story as he warmed up to a crowd in Ohio today.

"It's good to be back in Athens. Now you say 'Back in Athens, Biden, when were you here?' Well I went to the University of Delaware and we came out here to play Ohio University. Now that was 228 years ago and we did just fine, but the thing I loved about the university was that it was such a beautiful town and we all hung around out afterwards."

"Now I made a little mistake here that day, I made a little mistake."

"I wandered in, I met this lovely group of Ohio University…students," Biden said winkingly to laughs from the crowd.

"And uh, without knowing it, I shouldn't admit this on national television because it'll reveal that I'm over 60, but I thought that we were gonna go get something to eat. What's that street you have down there, all you guys? See, I…and so I just said to young, two young women I had met, said well why don't you…we'll be right back, I said well I'll come with you, and they said okay, and I walked into their dormitory and was immediately accosted by a cop who arrested me because back in those days men were not allowed in women's dormitories."

"But I promise you I never breached the first floor and it was only a temporary detention. But that's what I most remember about Athens. So folks look, it's good to be back here."

Joe Biden is a wonderful human being. He doesn''t have a stuffy bone in his body. Of course a college kid thought two girls were cute and of course in those times the college slapped his wrist. My oh my, how times have changed. Our great sin in the women''s dorm was that we snuck out and waxed the steel handrail that the guy''s in the men''s dorm sat on and slid down instead of walking down about a hundred and fifty steps in the morning. Those guys really flew down that handrail! It was great fun and lucky for us no one got hurt. Ah, the follies of youth.

I see a new Republican attack ad:

"Joe Biden is a s-e-x offender"

Wanna bet?

Geez- can''t write S*E*X, but can write "rape"? "violence"? "lynch"? "eviscerate?" "republican"? "Cheney"?

Who decides this stuff?
