Biden: McCain, Palin Are "Running The Most Scurrilous Campaign" In History
(CBS)
(LANCASTER, OHIO) - Joe Biden says an editorial cartoon he saw in a local newspaper best summarized his feelings about the McCain campaign’s negative attacks on Barack Obama.
The cartoon, drawn by Daryl Cagle, appeared in the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette today.
“There's a cartoon, I don't know if you guys saw this,” said Biden at a rally at Ohio University, “It's John McCain and Sarah Palin standing on the corner of a building that has on the bottom corner written 'BANK.' And it has a group of people, businessmen dressed in suits standing on the ledge, some of them jumping off into the street. And it has Sarah Palin saying to John McCain, "You know, Barack Obama pals around with terrorists, you know?"
“I think it best captures anything I have seen,” declared Biden.
“While the economy is going to hell in a handbasket, while people are losing their jobs, while things are going under, they're running the most scurrilous campaign in modern history trying to tie a decent honorable man raised by his grandparents and his mother who worked his way up -- who fought in a way that few people have to fight to make something of himself.”
