foot in mouth	Told a paraplegic man to "stand up." Once said: "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.

I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.”
webprops	22,611 friends on official MySpace.	58,878 friends on official MySpace.
the kind of veep they'd like to be	"I've never seen a time when Washington has watched so many people get knocked down without doing anything to help them get back up. Almost every night, I take the train home to Wilmington, sometimes very late. As I look out the window at the homes we pass, I can almost hear what they're talking about at the kitchen table after they put the kids to bed."	"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening."
