Joe Biden went on MSNBC last night and slammed Boehner's "small price" line in very harsh terms, saying:

"It's unconscionable. Simply unconscionable. And the rationale put forward is simply ridiculous."
Note that Biden wasn't just slamming the remark itself, he was also ridiculing the argument by Boehner's people that he was only referring to the expense of the war. The question Boehner was answering, however, was very clearly about troop deaths, too.

Is he the first candidate to criticize Boehner's deplorable comment?

1. I would like to know what the other candidates

have said regarding Boehner's insensitive remark as well.

Do these guys ever think before they speak?

2. This must be the latest talking point

Bill O'Reilly made a similar comment. Olbermann named him worst person over his remark.

5. He had a brief moment of sanity?

I'm sure it will pass.

4. Biden has been very outspoken about the rw bs!

And I am glad that the media is finally starting to listen.
