Behind The Scenes With Joe Biden

[DogPoundPup]

Sen. Joe Biden is not holding back, CBS News anchor Katie Couric reports.

"You say what's on your mind. Have you found that you have to be uber-careful and disciplined in terms of being out there on the campaign trail?" Couric asked.

"No. I feel passionate about what I'm doing and saying. I know the Republicans are going to take anything I say, no matter what it would be or anybody, and take it out of context," Biden said. "They are going to take any piece and if I have to parse through every single thing I'm going to say, then I'm not me."

On the trail, Biden is unmistakably himself, from occasionally cursing to getting emotional, as he did in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

CBS News was with him last Thursday during one of the rockiest weeks in history for the U.S. economy, something that wasn't lost on the six-term senator.

Joe Biden credited Kinnock all but ONE time.

6. Thanks very much. That's exactly what I needed.

8. That it was John Sasso, Dukakis' campaign manager that pushed the story.

Dukakis and Biden were fighting for the same voters.

After the election was over, Sasso made a public apology to Biden for questioning his integrity.

Biden forgot to credit Kinnock one time, and the competition ran with it.
I believe it's called mudslinging.

4. That's our Joe!!

And, he's right, if he bit his lip, he wouldn't be being him. :-)

5. Let them have it, Joe....

Don't hold back....
Nor should you treat that pit bull with kid gloves.

She threw down the gaunlet in her convention speech;
go get 'er!

7. Joe knows the Rethugs will twist anything he says so he says what he wants.

And he gives it back to them very well.
