It's not out of character for him at all. He touches women & young children in inappropriate ways.
In 2008 Cockburn wrote that Biden made unwelcome sexual advances on another senator's aide, in the week after his first wife was killed in a car crash. Then there was his
handling of the Anita Hill hearings. The way he
yelled at Warren in one of the debates was pretty unbecoming too. I know we're a predominantly male fantasy football messageboard, but he honestly comes across like a chauvinist jerk to me. I think you're a bad judge of character if you can't see that.
One of the Democrats' most important voting blocs is women voters. Are they seriously going to make a complete joke out of their proclaimed respect for women, by asking them to vote for a credibly accused rapist? It's unconscionable.
