Joe Biden is apparently not from around here

By R. Neal / July 24, 2007

During the highly publicized "CNN/YouTube Debate" last night, a couple of guys from Tennessee asked via YouTube video if any of the candidates' feelings were hurt because the media seems more interested in whether Al Gore will run than in them.

This prompted Sen. Joe Biden to respond "I think the people of Tennessee just had their feelings hurt."

I think Sen. Biden is not familiar with the Red State Report, starring Jackie Broyles and Dunlap out of Murfreesboro, TN. Memo to Sen. Biden: it's an act. We're not really like that down here. Well, not all of us, anyway.
