They say one thing standing between Joe Biden and the White House is Joe Biden's mouth.
The would-be presidential candidate proved that again on a recent trip to New Hampshire. In a video clip spreading rapidly across the Internet, C-Span cameras captured the Delaware Democrat talking cheerfully to an Indian-American political activist about his state's fast-growing Indian-American population.
Biden said, "You cannot go into a Dunkin' Donuts or a 7-Eleven unless you have a slight Indian accent."
Biden has since apologized for the incident. "Real mature," he told a New Hampshire newspaper during a Fourth of July swing through the state.
The footage, which aired as part of C-Span's "Road to the White House" series, was taken June 17.
Biden, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was on his way to Iraq on Thursday and unavailable for comment. Interestingly, he was traveling with a supply of Dunkin' Donuts coffee -- a treat for the troops.
