The Sun-Times reports on Biden from a fundraising dinner last night:
“What I care about is: What in God’s name is she going to do — along with John McCain — about the thousands of people who don’t have health care?” Biden asked. He’ll ask her about “The superhighway of terror between Pakistan and Afghanistan where my helicopter was forced down…John McCain wants to know where Bin Ladin and the gates of Hell are? I can tell him where. That’s where Al Quaida is. That’s where Bin Ladin is. It’s not in the country of Iraq.”
Biden’s helicopter was forced down by a snowstorm 14 miles outside of Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.
Other nuggets from Biden:
Biden urged the donors to “have patience” and Palin’s balloon would return to Earth once he or the press forced her to talk about who she would appoint to the Supreme Court or her views on global warming. He told them not to worry about a poll that showed white women defecting from Barack Obama to John McCain because of Palin.
And…
“The press is exaggerating how white women are all of a sudden for Sarah Palin,” Biden said. “We still have more women voting for Barack Obama than for John McCain…Part of the problem is in white suburbia, as well as…among ethnic groups, among, particularly Jews and Catholics, there is a lack of ease about Barack. They don’t know him. One of my major jobs is to go out and talk about what I know — they know me — talk about who I am, why I support Barack.”
