Biden explains his "clean" comment on Comedy Central

Well, at least Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del) realizes he's a joke, and the best place for jokes is the Comedy Central network.

Appearing last night on Jon Stewart's Daily Show, Biden, not for the first time yesterday, worked on damage control, as AP reports:

"Let me tell you something I spoke to Barack today," Biden told Stewart.

"I bet you did," Stewart quipped.

"I also spoke to Jesse (Jackson) and Al Sharpton," Biden said.

"And Michael Jordan and anybody you could get your hands on. The Jackson Five," Stewart said, interrupting

Here's something I didn't know. Biden's war chest is bigger than Sen. Barack Obama's. Of course, the Delaware senator had a thirty year head-start over his Illinois counterpart.
